I have no problem with having him face a firing squad. Let’s give him what he wants.

If Major John Andre couldn't get that, why should he?

[DaveA37]

“..........it will be tied up in court for years.”.....

Indeed, by the lawyers themselves. Anything to make a buck!

[C210N]

A firing squad is too honorable for a criminal.

It’s a soldier’s death.

Agreed (see a few replies back, on Major John Andre). George W agrees too.

Or compression chamber. After a few minutes to acclimmate just hit the pressure relief valve and see what happens.

I’ve worked in a slaughterhouse. The animals do not know what’s going to happen, they just know they don’t want to be there.

Ranch harvesting of livestock is much preferable though. A happy life grazing followed by a quick death so they can serve a higher purpose (preferably Bar B Que).

I have no problem with giving condemned murderers their choice from a list of approved execution methods: lethal injection, firing squad, hanging, the electric chair, or the gas chamber.

"Eh, freedom for me. They said I hadn't done anything, so I can go free and live on an island somewhere...........No, I'm only pulling your leg, it's crucifixion really!"

This isn’t Burger King, you don’t get to have it your way.

“It’s a ploy. The lawyer knows full well it will be tied up in court for years.”

exactly. because VA doesn’t provide execution by firing squad as an option.

My choice would be to be eaten by nile crocs. But hey - that’s just me.

[catnipman]

“Why not find out how they do it?”

pneumatic captured-bolt gun.

[Bubba_Leroy]

The goal is to dispatch them as quickly and efficiently as possible. I really don’t care how they are executed if it cuts a few years off of the appeal time.

[mad_as_he$$]

Have gun, will travel.

[Salvavida]

I think given the list, it should be up to the victim’s family to choose which one. Murder is personal. It should end that way.

I prefer tying him to a fire ant hill.

After reading about the crimes this guy committed, I agree.

I'd prefer them publicly hanged within one year after conviction.

He was involved in the murders of at least three more women iirc.
