Fl. Lawmaker Tries To Bring Back Firing Squad

The firing squad must use bow or cross bow, since you can reuse the arrows. I'm all for it.
Hanging works too, but you have to get the knot just right and compensate for the weight for a clean break. If not, you risk either decapitation or an airdance.
What?

Doesn't Utah still have a firing squad?
As far as resuse of bolts from a crossbow or la guillotine... somewhere out there, there'd be somebody screaming about it being contaminated & possibly infecting the condemned with something nasty if they didn't die right away making it inhumane & cruel.
Personally... if I don't die right away from a trip to the guillotine, I don't wanna know about it!!!

Naw, you dip them in bleach before firing. Nice and sanitary. Can even go with flaming tips to cauterize the wound.
I just read something about elephants used to be used to crush people to death, back in the day...

Bring back the yard arm.. It would help create shipbuilding jobs .... :uhyeah:
Crucify them. It's what Jesus would want.
Nah, I think the Nazi's and Soviet Communists had it right... sudden 9mm brain hemorrhage, quick easy and inexpensive.

It was only a matter of time. (They really need a facepalm smiley on this website..)

Risk of malfunction resulting in a crueler punishment than intended is one of the reasons state executions went toward lethal injection. The FL Congressman in question apparently has forgotten the neat little "Sparky" incident that ended the use of the electric chair in the first place...essentially, some malfunction in the chair caused it to set on fire, burning the guy to death in a most gruesome fashion. Bob also alluded to a similar problem with hanging: tie the rope wrong or whatever, and the result wont be the clean break intended, but a slow suffocation.
Yeah, I know, most everyone in this thread could care less and thinks hey, more torment the better. But thems the reasons. Me personally, I wouldn't mind the firing squad, assuming said squad was trained well enough to insure quick death. Seems it would be cheaper than the lethal injection method too. All this, of course, with the caveat that I'm still against the death penalty until we can guarantee 100% accuracy in convictions.
