I read a news article a few years back where some states either wanted to or have brought back firing squads as a more common form of execution. Argument was that lethal injections have been a shit show and that firing squads are actually more humane than they look. Not sure to what extent I believe it but it definitely is a topic that is being considered at the local/state level. | ||

Yes, it makes a little bit of a mess compared to lethal injection, but let's get real: we're killing a dude. | ||

The problem is 1) discovering those cocktails and 2) actually having an adequate supply of specialist ingredients for them, because the death penalty market alone can't sustain R+D or production of them. I'm somewhat surprised we don't just use surgical anesthesia and then kill people mechanically (gunshot to temple, whatever), though. | ||

That is the entire problem, that you need to find people willing to take part in the execution and do it in a way where they don’t end up with PTSD because it was botched or simply took a long time.

There is a reason we stopped using those. People miss. The guilt/PTSD was a problem after the execution. Some shots were not lethal. Its seems simply until we get to the point there humans need to pull the trigger. And before someone suggests a bullet robot thing, people need to build that and take care of it. At some point we have to ask ourselves the question if the execution is worth all this effort when there is no upside or benefit. | ||

If we're using quick, this is in the context of waiting the average 15 years a sclerotic justice system gets around to the act. | ||

Hell, you could hook them up to a nitrogen tank and they would just slowly pass out and eventually die. There are some extremely humane ways to do it that don't require any amount of involvement from drug companies. If you can buy a tank of nitrogen, you have all you need. What nitrogen company do you suggest who are willing to comply? | ||

I am willing to bet our government has enough stored up nitrogen to last a hundred years of death penalties. Are companies going to just stop supplying nitrogen to the government? Oh well, fortunately it is extremely easy to purify and store nitrogen. Step 1: Shoot someone with tranquilizer dart Step 2: Load them up with a nitrogen mask Kapow, all done.

Just saying that we have no reason to poison people when they could just take a nap and never wake up. | ||

Eh, if you murdered or raped someone you should just be killed off swiftly. People like that don't deserve to live. This world already has a huge overpopulation problem that shows no signs of slowing down. What is the point in keeping those awful people around? | ||
