Execution by firing squad



Utah eventually executed Ronnie Lee Gardner by firing squad just after midnight local time. The method of execution was outlawed in the state in 2004 but as he chose it before that date he was still allowed to opt for it. He had been on death row for 25 years for murder. Read the grizzly details here if you can face it. The Guardian also reports the story. What is your opinion? Is the firing squad worse than lethal injection or hanging?

  2. Lethal injection is by far the "kindest" way, not sure i'd have chosen the firing squad...
