Man gets executed by Bullets.

Ronnie Lee Gardner is in death row for murder but instead of something like gas or electric chair (i know they don't use it) he gets shot by a firing squad.

Heres the story:http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/37759499/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts?GT1=43001

And your point is?

i saw this on the news the other day.

i still think they should have used a different method of execution.

I'm glad. It must be far worse to fry or be injected. I would also have chosen the firing squad if I were him.

And it's no more barbaric than hanging people or stapping them to a table.

Since 2004 lethal injection has become the usual way of execution, but seeing as this guy and a few others were put on death row before 2004 they were able to choose other ways of execution, he chose to be shot in the heart by a bunch of guys.Brainkiller05

[QUOTE="Raiden004"] I saw it on MSN news and was like :shock: whoa. I have nothing against death penalty but getting shot was different.

Whoa that's messy business.

I wonder if they still use blanks for the executions like they used to for firing squads so the people doing the shooting wouldn't really know if they killed him.

sometimes them choosing isn't always the best option. I remember the case in which some teens chose the gas chamber thinking they wouldn't follow through with it since it's such a long and painfull death. They gassed them.

So since one bullet is real, what happens if he doesn't die right away then? Do they run up and shoot him again or something?? :shock:

[QUOTE="Eleckidding"][QUOTE="Laserwolf65"] If it could be assured that death was painless and instant, I wouldn't be against it. Seeing as I have no info on whether or not it meets those two requirements, I'm still on the fence about it.Laserwolf65

It isn't supposed to be painless. It's supposed to hurt.Eleckidding

I don't get why they bother with blanks. It's an execution, if you don't want to be the one who killed him you shouldn't be part of the firing squad in the first place.

Execution is all the same.

It doesn't really matter what happens because he's just going to end up the same way. :?

That's what I think anyway.
