Florida lawmaker wants firing squads for executions

[tombogan03884]

But what if the citizens want firing squads for Florida lawmakers?  Somehow, that seems to make more sense.

Only at the County level, you seem to have some pretty good ones at the State and Federal level.

Use a rope it is reusable. Maybe five or six hangings before you need to replace it.

I don't know how effective it would be, but it sounds like fun.

Ya mean it might cause the poor, unfortunate, mommy didn't hug him enough, underprivileged murderer some 'discomfort'.  AWWWW, that's just makes my heart bleed purple peanut butter, really it makes me feel very sad.

No, I mean the guys in the firing squad might get in trouble at work for taking to much time off.

And Y'all have given reason number 1,056 why capital punishment is a bad idea. Are these guys guilty? Yes. Are they in desperate need of a good killing? Yes. Will we miss them when they are gone? No.
That said, capital punishment means giving the state an amount of power that makes me nervous. It also means endless appeals because none of us trusts the state to get it right when it comes to a trial and there is no chance to fix an error. Then there is the question of the method of execution. At some point, when the scumbag is at your mercy it stops becoming a question of what kind of person they are and it becomes a question of what kind of person YOU are. The Bible makes that pretty clear in the book of Matthew with the story of the unfaithful servant. Personally I shed no tears for these guys, but it just seems cheaper and easier and a whole lot smarter to send them to life without parole. Either way they are gone for good. Who really gives a damn about how it comes to pass. Please note that this is not a bleeding heart position. Its just cold hard realism. Get them gone and I don' t care how. As long as they will never walk the streets again its all good as far as I'm concerned.
