Damn, shoulda asked for the extended edition.
Coulda had second last meal.
I don’t think they know about second last meal.
There is no other version.
*I’ll give a pass to using the theatrical version of Fellowship for someone new to the whole thing, but the rest has to be full.
there was a firing squad execution in 2010??
I’d take that over a lethal injection. A bullet to the head is better than them fucking up the injection.
Cue the Monty Python Russian firing squad skit (part of The Cycling Tour).
“How could you miss?”
“He moved.”
“Shut up! Go and practise. (to Pither) I’m so sorry. Do you mind waiting in your cell?”
it’s bullets to the heart https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ronnie_Lee_Gardner
The dude is a piece of shit but what the fuck
“A commemorative coin was commissioned for prison staff who participated in the execution.”
It’s because he requested to watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He was given his last meal in 1977 but they brought him the extended editions.
I think there’s a state or two that gives you a choice.
If execution is a thing, why not? I’d much rather take a bullet to the heart than the torture that is lethal injection. Hell, if they do it right, I’d even take hanging over LI. (Snap the neck not just suffocate)
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
You just know after spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on each death row inmate, they probably skimp on their last meal.
