    Firing squad is the way to go. Lots of bullets ensures a quick death (aim problems would require a squad size of 1 to be a problem).

    If people are worried about traumatizing the executioners, boo fucking hoo you literally applied to a job killing people.

        In the context of the death penalty existing, firing squad should be an available option. People think it’s less humane because it’s messy.

            I think if you’re splitting hairs on how to slaughter people, instead of talking about how it’s a human rights abuse literally everywhere in the West except the USA, you’re really just tacitly endorsing the death penalty.

            “Instead of”? “tacit endorsement”? Okay. Do me a favor: When the weather permits it, go to the nearest green space, lay down under a tree, and look at the sky for at least 5 minutes. It doesn’t matter the time of day, so long as you don’t stare at the sun.

      There’s not lots of bullets, there’s one. Multiple guns is so most can be blank loaded and all fired at the same time but no one will know which shot actually killed the person. Supposedly so the shooters don’t feel as guilty but that’s absurd, any rational person would feel guilty pulling the trigger and simply assuming they’re the killer.

        Just have the cops pull the trigger. They have no morals, and would not feel guilty. ACAB

          They’re not really supposed to enjoy it though and I’m not super into someone being super into murdering someone.

            And people should not be trying to turn the world upside down when they’re called weird, but here we are.

          Depends honestly but I think Tennessee is a single live and four blanks if human, if not then all live.

          In some places and honestly more commonly it’s the reverse 4 live 1 blank or wax.

          It’s a weird regional tradition thing somewhat like how a French gallow is different in construction than a Utah gallow or a Georgian gallow for that matter.

      the firing squad is still designed for the comfort of the observers. otherwise, they’d be shooting them in the head
