    I think I’d choose firing squad if I had the choice. Lethal injections and electrocutions can go wrong, and I think they sometimes do go wrong, causing a lot of pain and suffering. Firing squad should be a pretty quick death with less suffering.

      Lethal injections and electrocutions can go wrong

      You say that like a firing squad is a sure thing, and it can be, if they don’t miss. Otherwise it’ll take quite a bit longer than lethal injection or electrocution.

      in September 1951, a Utah fir­ing squad shot Eliseo J. Mares in the hip and abdomen and that it was “sev­er­al min­utes” before he was declared dead

        True. I still think I’d prefer the firing squad though. Maybe it’s because I think the effects of the other two options could be less predictable and therefore more unpleasant.
