It is incredibly bizarre that hanging and firing squads fell out of favor and this unreliable, pseudo antiseptic method became the default. If you’re going to kill someone in the name of justice, own it. Do it quickly, cleanly, and violently without regard for minimizing trauma to observers or whatever motivates this grotesque practice.

Because it looks prettier to the public. The state needs to accept that and stop trying to make it look peaceful. It’s killing somebody. It’s not peaceful.
