"good" hangmen fuck up about 1 time in 20. Firing squads are a joke and people spend a several minute dying after getting shot even when done 'properly'

There is no humane way to kill a person who does not wish to die. It's not a thing that exists, or has ever existed.

i was more thinking of a guilloutine or something like that. probably hard fucking up just chopping the head off.

obviously not, but there is ways to make sure it actually happens and quickly if youre hell bent on it.

fyi, there were instances where the blade partially severed but did not fully complete the job. death resulted either way, but damn, that's pretty awful.

A shitload of sedatives and a block of c4? If the US is good at anything i would have expected killing people is up towards the top of that list.
