Bringing back the firing squad, electrocution, gas asphyxiation as methods of the death penalty for the federal system. Also, he's considering pardoning the convicted and jailed child sex trafficking monster Ghislaine Maxwell.

Well I’m actually pro firing squad. But yeah the other stuff is terrible. And unsurprising trump being a pedophile again. But yeah the firing squad is actually good. We should be doing that.

It’s infinitely more moral and less prone to extreme suffering as gas, the chair, or lethal injection, or hanging. All of those (except hanging it’s just prone to failure) are effectively designed for cruelty. The firing squad is barbaric, sure. But the person loses consciousness in seconds, it’s extremely hard to fuck up, and anyone who is involved in the execution has a sense of plausible deniability for the death because on of the firearms has a blank, and nobody knows which it is.

I’m mostly anti death penalty but like, sometimes you gotta kill a mother fucker. Like everyone agrees Hitler probably had to die. For the hitlers of the world, do them the kindness of a simple and mostly painless goodbye. Pay the debt.

Not to mention it has a low ceiling for cruelty. Getting shot really really sucks, but most people report they can’t even really feel it because of the shock. It’s usually recovery that sucks. So even if they all shoot him in the wrong part of the chest and he bleeds out slowly, it’s comparatively way less painful than being lit on fire from the inside out, suffocating slowly with a broken neck, being gassed, or a failed lethal injection.

I’m pro choice of method. Personally I’d rather have my head and face preserved so my family can have a proper viewing at the funeral. That might matter more to me than the amount of suffering involved, depending on how bad it is, but that’s just me

I hear that, but it’s worth saying that the firing squad does preserve your face. They don’t shoot you in the head. They shoot you in the heart, like four times all at once. Your heart immediately stops being able to pump blood, and you pass out in seconds. Ideally. Doesn’t always work that way, but it fails waaaaay less than any other method and even if the person does bleed out and nobody stops it, that’s still LEAGUES better than a failed lethal injection, or the dry sponge on old sparky.

yeah but that’s the thing, what’s the likelihood of the United States using execution against those types of heinous individuals, vs using execution as a means of ethnic cleansing against demographics those in power don’t like? the US never truly sought out justice, and I highly doubt we’d use this against say, those incriminated by the Epstein files for example

Plus, if we have choice of method, lots of people will likely attempt to make a spectacle out of their death. Which I’m not super into, assuming we’re executing only the absolute worst of the worst. Not just black teenagers or whatever like we do now.

I oppose the death penalty completely, but only for the sole reason that we get the wrong person ≈4% of the time. However, if we did kill criminals, firing squad or beheading make the most sense. Mechanical beheading is certainly far more ethical than lethal injection and it isn’t particularly close either. I am also willing to entertain the idea of an execution method involving plastic explosives.

US isn’t even trying the billionaires of the Epstein atrocity. But I bet they will death sentence some victims for killing their traffickers

I mean, bad? I think that can be changed but bad. I’m anti death penalty in practice. But even then, even if the United States does keep killing random innocent people like they always have- It’s still WAY better to die by failed firing squad than by a failed lethal injection or even by the electric chair in general. Even when it works. If I was put to death unfairly. I’d want the squad, if I had no other options. Not to speak something so awful into existence, but I would.

exactly! that’s what I’m worried about, including it being used against immigrants and the various other demographics being targeted by the fascists I have a bad feeling that we’re going to see the mass execution of “political dissidents”…

Ahhh I see what you mean now, purely about method vs its justification? honestly on that front I’d agree. If they’re going to do it, shoot me and get it over with instead of dragging it out and essentially torturing me; but I guess I generalized a bit wider and started talking about who they’re going to likely use this towards :/

Yeah, I agree. Functionally I’m anti death penalty. This is assuming we live in a magical world where only mega war criminals get murdered by the state.
