I'm certainly not fond of this move.

I still say they should make these a public event. If the citizens of the state wants people to be put to death, they sure as hell should also be invited along to watch.

So if a man rapes and murders a little kid he should be given 3 square meals a day and a nice warm bed to sleep in? No he should be put in the ground

That was a main entertainment back in the days where families with children would go to watch, dont think it would be as accepted today though.

While I am very much against capital punishment (its barbaric and primitive and something that doesn't belong in a 1st world nation) I do think its more humane to simply execute someone rather then having them suffer for hours because of a faulty injection.

When foreign countries enact medieval sentences it is "Savage" but when America does it, it is "Humane"

[FuxieDK]

Well.. Atleast the manufctorers of guns and bullets cannot object to their product are being used to kill people, like the pharmaceutical campanies does..

Atleast here, the gun/bullets are being put to good use..

I wish capital punishment was reintroduced in Denmark...

Dakka dakka dakka, the sound of an execution in Utah.

Oh well provided that the firing squad aren't piss poor marksmen atleast it will be quick.

It is barbaric and primitive, but more humane then having someone in agony for hours.

And it would only be medieval if they brought back beheadings and public hangings, now its more... 19th century-ish, which probably fits the American conservative line of thinking.

Or ends, depending how you look at it.

Eh, this is fine by me. Death is death in my opinion. If we are going to execute criminals, I don't give too much care about doing it politely.

Only in America you need to shoot a man in order to save him from dying in pain.

And my respect for the U.S just dropped to a new low.

firing squads are awesome. so many doctors fuck up injections they shouldnt even be called doctors anymore. with bullets u cant go wrong. unless u miss. plus death is almost instant, so there.

why? do you feel Denmark is a insecure place? do you think it would profit from reintroducing capital punishment?
nah I don't think so... it's just satisfaction of bloodlust.
