Firing Squad

[Dyakovo]

Only if we force you to do it yourself.

I'm not a felon.

Yet.

[Scomagia]

Only if we force you to do it yourself.

I'm not a felon.

You want to call for barbarism, you can fucking carry it out.

[Lavan Tiri]

Rope, nails, and wood aren't cheap?

There are these things called appeals, something you would have realized if you knew fuck all about the law. Also, I'm still waiting for that source.

Let's say the appeal fails, or whatever it's called. If they can do that. (#cluelessme).

[Galter Gulcher]

I'm not a felon.

You want to call for barbarism, you can fucking carry it out.

I don't call for barbarism, I just call for getting rid of the barbarians.

The condemned has the right to many appeals against their sentence, which is expensive. It's also a necessary function that has kept more than a few innocent men and women from being wrongfully killed.

[Avenio]

Yet.

With the kind of people who spend their leisure time salivating over horrible ways to kill people, it really is only a matter of time.

[Dyakovo]

I don't call for barbarism, I just call for getting rid of the barbarians.

So, you're volunteering to go first?

[Scomagia]

Calling for feeding people to wolves is barbaric.

I dont salvate over horrible ways to kill people. I salvate over ways to kill horrible people.

[Pandeeria]

I'm against the death penalty, but even if I was for it, I would still be against firing squads. It would be better to just have someone shoot the guilty person in the head twice.

Is there a law to limit the number of appeals?

I dont salvate over horrible ways to kill people. I salvate over ways to kill horrible people.

Can't even finish that sentence it excites you so much, eh?

[Valkalan]

Firing squads waste too much ammunition. We should employ more cost-effective methods of execution.

[The Orson Empire]

I am against the death penalty, as I view it as hypocritical and barbaric.

[United Marxist Nations]

What's wrong with firing squads specifically?

Like hungry bears? Drowning? What are you going at here.

Like not doing it.

[Galter Gulcher]

Then don't do the crime.

The reason a firing squad would be used, and not a single shooter, is because of the diffusion of responsibility.

In some cases, one or more members of the squad will be issued weapons containing blank cartridges, and no member is told that they are using live ammunition. This allows each member of the firing squad to believe that they did not fire the fatal shot, which would eliminate any life-long guilt or depression they would suffer from having to kill a person.

[Threlizdun]

There is no form of the death penalty that is cheaper or more ethical than rehabilitation.

Guillotines for instance. Devices that can kill quickly and can be reused all at a minimum of expense.

Cheaper? I mean yeah sure if we bring back chain gangs.

There are machines that do this. In fact, IIRC, there was a machine specifically designed to be a firing squad used in the late 1800's. It was only used once because the people there thought that it was wrong to use something that couldn't feel guilt.

Cheaper?

Yes, cheaper.
