Quick, painless, effective. Do it.

Hanging is probably the most just, but firing squad is good, and like hanging, comes with a long tradition.

Questions: is the person firing the able to detect the fact? Do the others also know, from the recoil, that they are not firing a blank?

Put a target shroud over the future dead man.
Heart 100 points, Between Eyes, 200, Groin ‘Area’ 300, Either Big Toe 400, because DWTS fans are watching, anything else-5.

So long as the result is the same, it’s all good.

You make absolutely sure that they will no longer injure others by, after trying valid and verifiable in-prison rehabilitation, locking them up for life.

Rope. Go green and recycle.

And you should piss yourself on the way up to the gallows. And on the way down.

I dont know, I like the psych effect of old sparky...

Partner, I like the idea that every time there is an execution that the lights in business buildings, government buildings and houses start blinking off and on.

Folks would know exactly when an execution is taking place.

Partner, I think you are on to something with using "Ole Sparky" again.
