Talk is cheap I guess we all can say do it quick and we all have our version of the perfect kill. But if we all were on death row the attitude would change if we were the ones being put to death. But one thing I know is this. In this country we are free free to make our own destiny if you are in front of a firing squad you put yourself there no one else did. You can read all of the religion into it that you want but in the end the LAW Of THE LAND is still AN EYE FOR AN EYE.

A Utah death row inmate who would become only the third person to die by firing squad in the US
"He asserts that executing him now, after nearly 25 years on death row in Utah, so lacks retributive or deterrent value that it violates the Eighth Amendment," A federal judge late Tuesday refused to block it, after Gardner claimed the procedures related to a two-day commutation hearing held by the board last week violated his civil rights.
He claims he is a changed man, and should not be executed for his crimes.
His dinner included steak, lobster, and vanilla ice cream.
Gardner's childhood, which was punctuated by poverty, abuse and neglect.
Five anonymous marksmen will use matching .30-caliber rifles. None of the riflemen will know who delivered the fatal shot.
The inmate is blindfolded, strapped to a chair and a target pinned to his chest.
Lethal injection remains by far the most-used execution method in the US
This whole thing is stupid.

Originally posted by SAC View PostThey dont shoot from the same point. 8 yds away. Different angles. Chest is at least 8 inches from the wall. I'll take that group any day.
I agree about the angles. Timing 5 shots is not going to be as easy as it sounds and there will be a flinch factor even at 20ft. Bullets also do some funny things in micro seconds as soon at they impact.
I'm sure many of us have shot a critter standing what appears to be prefectly broadside, only to have the exit at a goofy angle.

LegDog, all i can say is OhhhhhRahh!!!!! During my time, for every one that was on Death Row, i could think of 50 more that should have been. And this dude has been there for 25 yrs, sounds like that was 24 years and 11 months too long.Last edited by MUZZYSLINGR; 06-18-2010, 11:07 AM.
