They didn’t get the chance to peacefully pass so unfortunately I believe he deserves to feel the same way if not worse.

Many people have been executed by firing squad and all it cost was the price of a single bullet.

[maemae]

Why do we think about what’s humane with brutal, cold blooded killers? You think they put this thought into what was humane of their victim(s?)

[katiekat]

Why would the facility cost that much? Just go outside!

[annettetesta]

Actually it’s the opposite of what you said about a firing squad; only one gun contains a blank and the rest are live. Having only one live round might make it pretty iffy to guarantee death.

He was inhumane when stabbing innocent people. So y must he be spared.

[lynettekrick]

The psychological build-up and humane. Really? Did the victims suffer? Did their families suffer? If the perpetrator has to face his own mortality because he took that of others, YES!!! That's the whole point!!!

The more humane way has always been a Meeting with The Hangman at The Gallows plus it’s more cheaper and environmental friendly.

If someone is 100% guilty.. Show them no mercy if they commit heinous crimes.. I used to be against the death penalty. If the Dumbells are guilty and Snozburger is guilty, then they should get the death penalty. Both these cases, in my opinion, are exactly why the death penalty is a good thing.

It might make people think twice before committing murder one cases. I personally think any child murder/sa case should definitely use this tactic!!!

[NS-hslt]

I’m not necessarily against capital execution. But it should be reserved for cases that we know certainly the person is guilty and the crime is heinous and premeditated.

[octopods]

If he's found guilty, too bad they can't hand the rifles to the victims parents. "Humane" isn't a word that should be used regarding the person who committed these murders.

[GH-oijf]

I’ve never liked the pseudo-medical approach to executions.

[nhmooytis]

If BK did it there will be lotsa volunteers to do it for free.

[vc]

Wouldn't the Electric Chair be more economical ?

[sharonsciba]

I’m pretty sure the families of victims could raise 750$!

[jakepatchogue]

At this day in age, can’t a computerized system discharge rounds from a gun? Have 2 people press the button, only 1 button actually works, and the system will automatically take out the prisoner.

[nhmooytis]

Why dafuq should we care about whether the execution of a brutal killer is brutal? Grow up!!!

[KennyJordana]

Firing squad huh, I never knew that they still did that under the death penalty.

[cheezybred]

These DP options are too nice, months of moderate torture followed by a terrifying death is the only punishment for this
