there was a firing squad execution in 2010??
Medical professionals usually frown upon anything with doing harm. With the whole "do-no-harm" oath usually taken. This leads to "lethal injections" made by non-medical individuals, where they struggle to buy ingredients (also cus nobody wants to sell killing drugs) - and injected by non-professionals.
This leads to injections being quite often hour long processes of extremely painful deaths. Not uncommonly it's unsucessfully.
Being shot is honestly, far more humane. (Though any death penalty is unjust, especially considering how many are found innocent after their death.)
While I agree with everything you've said, do these firing squads never miss? It seems like something that could get fucked up either way
Probably true? https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/executions/botched-executions Here it does say that 0 cases of firing squad has had a botched case tbh, but it is quite low numbers - so it isn't a good reference for statistics
