The USA is still a 3rd world country

They are going to execute a prisoner by a firing squad. Just how barbaric are these yanks!!.

 

[Pestilence]

It was his own choice. That's how he wants to go out. What exactly is barbaric about that?

 

[Amnesia]

i thought they were well known for their friendly fire.

 

[Biohazard]

Had he shot dozons of innocent people to death, would you then find death by firing squad barbaric?

Anyway, who are they going to execute?

Oh ffs.

I want to go out in a car crash, drunk and kill a little kiddie, would that be acceptable?

 

[Biohazard]

Oh ffs.

Bye!

No of course not. But without context this is all jibberish.

Who is he and what is the crime?

 

[Amnesia]

Oh ffs.

well if they let you do that i want to go out banging Megan Fox.

 

[Pestilence]

Oh ffs.

Way to get hyperbolic! Go you!

The guy is on Death Row. He's been given the option of humane lethal injection or firing squad.

He went with firing squad.

Just a LITTLE different than you suddenly deciding you want to drunk-drive into children.

Jeeze, at least put SOME effort into your argument.

He chose this method of execution as he wanted someone to have to clean up the mess afterwards. He'll be one very angry nappy wearer when they shoot him.

What argument?

 

[Biohazard]

What argument?

Oh ffs.

God, its not that hard.

Are you saying the United Kingdom was a third world country until 1964? If so, I'd wager you're not familiar with what makes a third world country

 

[Pestilence]

What argument?

Why make the thread?

Oh dear...

 

[Amnesia]

What argument?

dont worry i agree with you
not about the firing squad or your baby killing urges but damn these yanks to hell anyway

 

[SPARC]

Yup he chose it specifically to be a PITA by all accounts.

Apparently the measures in place are that the firing squad will not see the prisoner when they fire but have been trained to aim at a certain spot, and one of the guns will be loaded with a wax bullet (with the same recoil characteristics as a normal bullet) so no individual will know whether they fired the fatal shot.

Also, the firing squad is no longer available since around 1980something IIRC but because he was convicted prior to that, he was still allowed to choose it.

 

[MikeB]

better than having your skull fried

 

[snowball1]

He deserves to die, what's the problem? I wouldn't have given him the choice on how he would die though!

Calling it third world is a bit over the top in my opinion but I do think the US is very backwards in a lot of ways compared to other developed countries, and their continued use of capital punishment and the methods they use for it are one example of that. The only other developed country I can think of that still practices it is Japan.

For those that are wondering about this specific case, here's a bit more info.
