    Firing squad deaths are prone to human error and could be painful in the final moments leading up to death. Imagine someone accidentally (or on purpose) shoots the subject in the leg or arm instead of the chest. And the subject is awake right up until death.

    In contrast, nitrogen asphyxiation is way more humane. It is not reliant on human skill in the way that firing squads are, and the subject loses consciousness before dying.

      Murdering someone should not be expedited and made “humane”, cause then it just becomes a clinical procedure, and removes all the nasty bits that go with taking a like.

      Making it easier for the state to continue doing it. If it was messy and gruesome they would think twice
