Hey, I don't blame the guy. If I had to choose between firing squad and lethal injection, I'd pick the same. At least with firing squad you get to die with dignity, not on a bed and sedated like a stray cat.

Either way, executions don't belong here in the US, or anywhere, for that matter.

Why is there five in a firing squad and not one? Better yet not why not give him the option of hari kari?

What were the details of the original crime he committed? I mean evidence, facts, motivation, etc? What was his statement?

In rereading this story and if I read it correctly, I find it amazing that someone was able to slip him a gun at all and he managed to do what he did in a short period of time?

In deliberating about whether or not one believes in the death penalty, I might suggest watching "Lock up Raw". To determine the truth to this show, go to a prison and interview a convicted murderer yourself, observe the surroundings of the prison, go to a court room, go to a trial, go to a police station , volunteer to work in a probation department, go on a shift with a police officer, sit in a law class, work in a law firm, work in the court system and most of all be a juror and put yourself in his shoes or the victims shoes and then decide if you believe in the death penalty or not. Most of all observe and talk to all people of every station in life in order to undertand oneself and others actions.

Not only is it weird that there is a firing squad but what happened to all the options in between like hanging, electric chair. The options go from no violence straight to extreme violence.
