U.S. President Donald Trump has approved the execution by firing squad of Army Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan for the 2009 shooting rampage at Fort Hood, Texas.
Yeah, a chamber so CO2 levels don’t rise, and a sedative/relaxant so you don’t resist natural breathing. The second isn’t necessary for assisted suicide, because they want the procedure to be successful.
For those confused about this statement with respect to other things I’ve said, I’m against the death penalty, but I’m also against doing things poorly. It’s sometimes hard to decide whether the people in charge are cruel or incompetent. Sure, why not both, but going all Green Mile in your executions doesn’t increase support from the people on the fence.
Nitrogen too, if done right. The one time it was used it was done wrong (using a mask instead of a chamber.
But like the other commenter pointed out, the cruelty is the point.
