Shooting squads

i was just reading something on that dude who is trying to get his death penalty (by firing squad) on friday held off, and i wanted to see if anyone could give me a good reason why we would kill someone with a firing squad rather than, say, lethal injection? they only do it in utah but personally i feel like it's sort of an archaic way to kill someone.. and messy.

any thoughts?

i dont know why a shooting squad would seem cruel, your being fucking killed, theres no way to make that not suck ass.
id rather take the firing squad over lethal injection anyway, its a way more badass way to go, id take getting hung over lethal injection too.

i heard somewhere that lethal injection is actually extremely painful or uncomfortable but since it paralyzes you, you can't complain about it.

One thing that nobody has brought up yet is the fact that the people being killed are murderers and rapists so why do we care if their deaths are humane? I'm from Canada and if I could I would institute the death penalty here because some motherfuckers just deserve to die.

its cheaper. thats all that matters. i dont give a fuck about the pain/time it takes to kill someone, even though firing squad is probably less painfull and is definitely quicker. they should take them out back and shoot them with in 2 years of the sentence. sitting on death row for 20 years only wastes money. shoot them and move on

i dont think you can get the death penalty for rape? anyway, i do agree, some people do just need to die, not many, but some for sure.
