Anyone Know What Rifle Is To Be Used In Utah Firing Squad Case?

[ratcatcher55]

My dad saw a thief executed in China during WWII. They knelt  him down and an officer shot him in the back of the head.
The family could not recover the body till they paid the fine.  The process from arrest to execution was less than 24 hours.

He had been caught in the US barracks with about $5 of money and a couple of GI watches.

I have heard the Soviets did the same thing in the showers of their prisons. No last meal, no family just kneel , bang, clean up the mess.

Which should tell us something. There is some company that you should not wish to keep. Just sayin'.

As I type this Peg, the guy is an hour away from death. I agree with you, a massive OD of morphine and its game over. However, what BillT describes as the ability of government to make a "stupid federal case out of killing someone", well there I beg to differ.

FQ13 who can now say that he is anti-death penalty, unless there is a damn good reason to apply it.

I'm not arguing pro or con about the death penalty. The fact of the matter is we have it much like abortion, no matter if we like it or not. With that said it is absolutely ridiculous the way they take something that could be accomplished so effortlessly, painlessly, positively, and cheaply, and turn the entire procedure into something you'd think Rube Goldberg came up with while he was on a weekend bender. All that's left for the government to enhance, would be to arrange the firing squad in a circle.  Bill T.

Why dont we just put 5 or 6 scum bags in a blast proof room toss in a grenade and just walk away. Its cheap but a  little messy and the results are quik.

I bet you could put it in there with the pin and one of the idiots would probably pull it

Hmmm.....same idea...but pull the pin, hand it to one of the 6 and tell them to take turns holding the spoon in place.  Then tell them the one who holds it the most times gets a pardon.  Then shut the door.
