This is a normal post ugh
and then the self promotion afterwords. How did he think that was appropriate?
then again, if you think it's appropriate for someone to be executed by firing squad then I will make an assumption as to your judgement of what is appropriate or not

This is a normal post if i was going to be executed
i would choose firing squad. sounds so much cooler than lethal injection.

i don't really see what's wrong with this. it is in/on all other media. twitter is just a form of media. otherwise you have a situation where old media can report this and new media can't.

This is a normal post Chest not face
He had a target on his chest. 5 executioners, 4 with live rounds one with a blank.

This is a normal post The blank is totally pointless apparently. Those used to firing guns know when it's a blank seemingly.
Reading a reporters account of the execution I'm very glad we did away with capitol punishment here. Sounds barbaric.

This is a normal post Stupid question:
Why one blank? Too much dead?

This is a normal post I think
it's so each executioner can assume they were the one with the blank, and therefore not responsible for the person's death.

This is a normal post Yeah I justl looked it up on Wikipedia:
"While an experienced marksman can tell the difference between a blank and a live cartridge based on the recoil (the blank will have lower recoil), there is a psychological incentive to not pay attention and, over time, to remember the recoil as soft. In more recent times, such as in the execution of Ronnie Lee Gardner in Utah in the United States in 2010, a rifleman may be given a "dummy" cartridge containing wax instead of a bullet, which provides a more realistic recoil"

This is a normal post While I disagree with the death penalty,
what is wrong with a firing squad? It's quick and effective which is more than can be said of a lethal injection with doctors refuse to participate in leading to wrongly inserted needles etc. IT might be a bit messy and gruesome, but killing people isn't a nice fluffy thing to be doing
