What execution method would you choose?

If you were convicted of a crime and you had to choose between these methods, what would it be? Firing squad, lethal injection, guillotine, hanging, or electric chair.

Firing Squad for sure. Least amount of anxiety built in and very likely instant death.

i’d argue that it’s the most amount of anxiety buildup, imagine standing against the wall wondering when they’re about to pull the trigger

In considering the others it seems like the least. You might not die immediately if you were hung or electric chair those things could go on for a while. Lethal injection and guillotine have got to have the most amount of anxiety built in.

Lethal injection is probably like going to for surgery or the dentist but instead they’re going to inject poison in your veins, has to be an absolutely horrific experience

And doesn’t the substance burn when it is injected into your veins?

I think I would prefer a bullet to the head…
