MS wants to bring back firing squads

JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi lawmakers are advancing a proposal to add firing squad, electrocution and gas chamber as execution methods in case a court blocks the use of lethal injection drugs.
House Bill 638 is a response to lawsuits filed by "liberal, left-wing radicals," said House Judiciary B Committee Chairman Andy Gipson, a Republican.
The bill passed the House amid opposition Wednesday, and it moves to the Senate for more debate.
Lethal injection is Mississippi's only execution method. The state faces lawsuits claiming the drugs it plans to use would violate constitutional prohibitions against cruel and unusual punishment.

Sounds appropriate for many executions.

Public hangings is the way to go.

Why not, several western states still offer hanging and/or firing squad. Go for it.

I don't care what they do as long as they televise it.

Do it in public and sell tickets.

And force any and all juveniles currently in detention or on parole to attend. To show them where a life of crime leads

They need an express lane.

Honestly that's how I'd want to die if I was facing the death penalty. Give me a .50 cal point-blank to the head. I'd even pay for the ammo.

I'd probably choose hanging. You either snap your neck and die in a nanosecond, or you basically just pass out and never come to.

Or your head could pop off, been know to happen

Chit no. Wayyyy to many things can and do go wrong in hangings.

Let the injured party's family the option to be part of the firing squad.
