Death by firing squad set to resume in the US – but no matter the method, all means of execution come with a troubling history. Really!

At least the criminal in this case was given a choice of the method of death! There is no perfect solution!

The criminal could spending the rest of his/her life behind bars perhaps even including medical treatment? Why e.g. should the taxpayer pay for this cushy life? And if it is not a life sentence, how many years should a murderer remain in prison?

Murder and other severe crimes come with a troubling history too! What about the dead victims and their lost lives?

"... As someone who has studied execution methods in the U.S., I see the resumption of death by firing squad as part of a morbid search for “better” execution methods. It comes amid concern over botched lethal injection attempts and a scarcity of the drugs needed to carry out such executions. ..."

Death by firing squad set to resume in the US – but no matter the method, all means of execution come with a troubling history "A death row inmate in South Carolina chose firing squad over lethal injection and the electric chair."
