Wow, you get to chose between lethal injection and being shot at. So.... which will you chose?

I know that in America they shit you down in this big 'ol chair to shoot you. I heard that only one out of the five rifles shot has an actual bullet and not a blank in it, so that none of the shooters know who shot him/her and feels guilty about it.
Pussies, in my opinion. Stand them the fuck up, tie them to a fucking pole, offer a blindfold and a last smoke, then pump the perpetrator full o' holes.
I perfer the Nazi's method of killing a traitor. They would sit you (the traitor, you vile scum) down at a desk. An officer would place a pistol on one side and a clip with one round in it on the other. He then tells you that you have ten minutes, and leaves.

Firing squad. I've heard that lethal injections can go wrong and be EXTREMELY painful. Being killed by a skilled marksman would be a little more instantaneous.

No, its one out of the five has a blank. A single bullet wouldn't be a sure thing. They also have the prisoner in a form of dark blue that doesn’t show blood, even as a damp spot.UltraViolence83 wrote:I know that in America they shit you down in this big 'ol chair to shoot you.

No, while it seems to work for China shooting a very poor method to use if you want to harvest organs. Anyway, I'm talking about the way things are, not the way they might be if we where harvesting organs from executed prisoners.Montcalm wrote:
But to go with the organ removal thread should`nt they shoot him in the head so the heart can be used to save someone.

Yeah, but what if you knock him out/shoot him, take his gun, and fight your way to freedom?I perfer the Nazi's method of killing a traitor. They would sit you (the traitor, you vile scum) down at a desk. An officer would place a pistol on one side and a clip with one round in it on the other. He then tells you that you have ten minutes, and leaves.

Ack... why the hell don't they shoot the head? You'd still be alive and possibly conscious for a bit after getting hit in the chest/heart area, getting hit in the head would actually ensure instant death.Sea Skimmer wrote:There required to aim for the chest around the heart.

Yeah but outside that door were probably a ton of SS waiting to torture you unless you shot yourself in those ten minutes.HemlockGrey wrote:Yeah, but what if you knock him out/shoot him, take his gun, and fight your way to freedom?I perfer the Nazi's method of killing a traitor.

Rommel committed suicide prior to execution.
I believe they put a target on the man's chest over the heart for them to aim at. Gotta be unnerving. I believe multiple chest wounds would bring death in a minute or so from massive blood loss.

It's 1 out of 5 has a blank round as Sea Skimmer said. However that wouldn't even work, you can tell the differenre between a live round and a blank one quite easily from the recoil. So a shooter would know whether he had a live one or not.UltraViolence83 wrote:I know that in America they shit you down in this big 'ol chair to shoot you.

Re: Death by firing squad...
I obviously cannot speak from experience, but a firing squad consists of several marksmen, firing high-caliber bullets into your chest. Those bullets would make one heck of a mess out of your chest cavity, shredding your heart and key blood vessels, thus dropping your blood pressure quick, fast, and in a hurry. That immediate drop in blood pressure would quite quickly induce unconsciousness, so you'd probably not feel much in the way of pain. The worry is that someone misses, but that's probably a minor risk.SpacedTeddyBear wrote:http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=s ... ecutions_6

if i had the option, id go for firing squad, its a more "honorable" way to die in the traditional way of thinking. My prefered way of execution period is a sharp sword, point placed on the back of my neck, and driven in to sever the spinal cord at the highest place possible.
