US man to be executed by firing squad - Polidicks

[QUOTE=PrismatexV8;21535222]I am a motherfucker.[/QUOTE] Maybe you should move down south then. [editline]02:54AM[/editline] [QUOTE=xamllew;21535268]I'd rather be shot by a mixture of lethal injection darts, bullets, electric chairs, cannon balls, while being hanged on the arm of a burning crucifix.[/QUOTE] You want to get shot by an electric chair? Do they have good aim or something?

[QUOTE=Pedro the Fuzzy;21534096]If I ever get convicted for murder and sentenced the death penalty, I'll want to question the judge. "How's about this judgy-boy, I run through a mine-field, I make it out alive, I'm free. But if I get blown up, well, I'm gonna be dead." And say it in a John Wayne accent, total bad-assery.[/QUOTE] Except most of the time Mines just blow your leg off and leave you to slowly bleed out. Horrible way to go.

[QUOTE=yawmwen;21535273]Maybe you should move down south then.[/QUOTE] I think I'll move to Oakland and grow a beard.

Give them all napalm. Let him ride to [realm of evil and punishment] already on fire.

[QUOTE=Kyle902;21535307]Except most of the time Mines just blow your leg off and leave you to slowly bleed out. Horrible way to go.[/QUOTE] Lol, you're running and you hit a landmine that blows your leg off. The judge, with a huge smirk on his face, says "ok, son, you're free to go". And you just lay there, unable to move, and die a very slow and painful death.

If they had the death penalty in Australia, I would choose firing squad, and wear a blindfold while I smoke a cigarette.

Bitches don't know that streamlining the death penalty would lead to innocent people dying.

If he wasn't trying to be a badass, this man is EXTREMELY wise. [quote] In misuse of the drugs, the thiopental will cause the patient to look like he is falling asleep. The second drug will paralyze him. If the drugs are not given properly, the sleep drug can wear off, allowing the patient to be aware, but unable to move, even to breathe. He undergoes suffocation and asphyxiation in a horribly painful way, even though he looks completely calm as he is lying on the table. Then, he experiences that deep burning sensation as the potassium courses through his veins on the way to the heart.[/quote]

Oh god :ohdear:

[QUOTE=Mingebox;21535073]Letting people choosing their method of execution is pretty standard. Apart from the badass method of choice, this isn't any different from ordering strawberry ice cream over chocolate.[/QUOTE] I think if someone asked to be killed via gas chamber his request would be denied. It's expensive, inhumane, and gives the country that pulls it off a bad rep.

I'd rather die than spend life in solitary confinement.

The one upside of a firing squad is that it leaves some organs available for transplant. Which is why China is so trigger happy about executing people.

[QUOTE=Pretiacruento;21533203]There's a man who is in complete control of his destiny... he can't change when he's going to die, but he chooses HOW he wants to die. I consider that very honorable.[/QUOTE] Wtf are you talking about? How is it honorable if he picks between two different choices that have the same outcome?

[QUOTE=Used Car Salesman;21535879]The one upside of a firing squad is that it leaves some organs available for transplant. Which is why China is so trigger happy about executing people.[/QUOTE] Wouldn't the organs be riddled with bullets?

[QUOTE=Canuhearme?;21535206].22's are actually the rounds of choice for assassin's going for headshots, since the round has enough energy to enter the skull, but not enough to exit, so it'll just ricochet in the brain cavity until it runs out of energy.[/QUOTE] Not to mention if you put a suppressor on one the only noise you're going to hear is the weapon's mechanisms working. If that.

Man, everybody does firing squads the pussy way If I ran the country, it would be "execution via .50 caliber round fired into the back of the head from a distance of no more than 5 meters" The condemned man would get to choose between a Desert Eagle or a Barret M82 rifle All their precious organs would remain intact, and it would send a much more intimidating message to would-be criminals.

[QUOTE=Calam1tous;21535839]I'd rather die than spend life in solitary confinement.[/QUOTE] Fuck that shit, solitary would be great. All my friends are there.

[QUOTE=Mr Drover;21535726]If he wasn't trying to be a badass, this man is EXTREMELY wise.[/QUOTE] the suffocation doesn't take long to kill him, and, frankly, the eventual euphoria it induces will likely numb the potassium-burn he'll feel. in other words, it still gets the job done. though, since you mentioned it, there are faster and more effective poisons that could be used, such as toxins that kill instantly upon injection. But NO - killing him without giving the [i]appearance[/i] of being humane (a.k.a. putting him to sleep, first) would be [i]politically-incorrect[/i], gosh forbid.

I'd die by firing squad, because it's been said that lethal injection brings immense pain for a few seconds and you can't move or portray agony because of the muscle relaxant in you.

I can tell you've been playing some video games.

[QUOTE=JDK721;21536167]too expensive.. and lol desert eagle or barret? I can tell you've been playing some video games.[/QUOTE] A .50 bullet is $2.

[QUOTE=JDK721;21536167]too expensive.. and lol desert eagle or barret? I can tell you've been playing some video games.[/QUOTE] well yeah...those were the first things that came to mind when I thought ".50cal" Plus intimidation factor and all that. Then again, I guess a .50 BMG machine gun just opening fire on the condemned would be pretty sweet too.

[QUOTE=RBM11;21536204]A .50 bullet is $2.[/QUOTE] How much is the rest of the cartridge?

[QUOTE=Amez;21536135]I'd die by firing squad, because it's been said that lethal injection brings immense pain for a few seconds and you can't move or portray agony because of the muscle relaxant in you.[/QUOTE] serial killer John Wayne Gacy had a horrific allergic reaction to the lethal injection and laid there writhing in immense pain for a half hour

[QUOTE=RBM11;21536204]A .50 bullet is $2.[/QUOTE] not worth it.. you can get a smaller caliber for a lot cheaper.

[QUOTE=JDK721;21536167]too expensive.. and lol desert eagle or barret? I can tell you've been playing some video games.[/QUOTE] it's not too expensive because our country has one of the lowest prisoner-killing rates in the world now, if we killed as much inmates as China, then yeah - the prisons would need a stimulus package

[QUOTE=B_oE_AN;21536205]well yeah...those were the first things that came to mind when I thought ".50cal" Plus intimidation factor and all that.

[QUOTE=darkheadcrab;21536239]it's not too expensive because our country has one of the lowest prisoner-killing rates in the world now, if we killed as much inmates as China, then yeah - the prisons would need a stimulus package[/QUOTE] no point in using .50 cal when a smaller caliber can get the job done

all the bullshit that goes into making the injections and the electric-chair ordeals work... costs way more than putting a .50 round through someone's head.

come on, we already spend hundreds of thousands of dollars keeping these losers in death row, giving them appeals and such...what's $2 more to make his head explode on live national television? Okay, maybe the live national television part doesn't necessarily have to happen...
