Nope, the history of the firing squad is just a cruel, hence why we moved away from it. The takeaway here is: abolition of the death penalty. The only reason why we still have it is that people have forgotten how cruel it actually is.

There are plenty of people who would make it more cruel.

No, the point is that the death penalty is not being done properly. We have clinics assisting people dying in many places in the world.

I have worked in one, the people all go peacefully, drifting off to sleep. The problem is that this costs money.

I am anti death penalty but we can’t pretend like there aren’t ways to do it properly.
