the predominantly mormons in the state of utah are believers of firing squad as an atonement of their sins. criminals tried in the court beyond reasonable doubts, likewise given the controversial multiple appeals the law allows proving nothing but guilts, deserved the capital punishments the state lawfully passed, be it lethal injections, firing squads or whatever. the bleeding hearts forgot or ignoring the murdered victims of crimes. their focus is the welfare of the living hardcore murderers sentenced to death, that death must be without pain. did these criminals murdered their victims free of pain?.
noz, it’s the same reason why California Death Penalty is on hold because of the same rationale by the few liberal minded…death must be without pain…i mean the injections is/are too painful…well, at the same time, it’s too expensive and draining state budget. But check this out, it was a political strategy used by those who want to run for office that they would bring back the death penalty (as if we do not know some facts: cost?)…easier said than done but it is painful to execute any hard core criminal who would brutally (understatement) murder anyone…
