Should Firing Squads Replace Lethal Injections? (HBO)

  • Опубликовано: 20 мар 2017
  • As states struggle with supplies of drugs used for lethal injections and with the fallout from some recent botched executions, some of the 31 states where the death penalty is legal are looking at firing squads as a backup form of execution.
    Ronnie Lee Gardner was the last man killed by firing squad in the United States, in 2010. His brother, Randy Gardner, is now an advocate for ending capital punishment.
    VICE News talks to Randy as well as reporter Sheryl Worsley, who witnessed the execution. We also speak with a professor who has studied capital punishment and believes that death by firing squad is actually better than death by lethal injection.

      It took me 7 seconds of thought to figure this out. You don't need somebody with the title professor that study capital punishment to get your answer. Beheading with a large blade that is attached to a machine would work for another bandage slapped on society. Yes...firing squad would be better. I am glad the system and even to an extend society doesn't value philosophers anymore , it's a fun show to watch and laugh at , don't worry it's about to get much better.

      The most humane, effective, easiest and cleanest way to execute someone is by asphyxiation using any type of pure gas. Carbon Monoxide (CO) gas is best as it attaches to the hemoglobin in the blood more readily than oxygen. Any gas will work as long as it blocks oxygen from entering the blood stream.
      Within 2 breaths you lose consciousness and in minutes you're history. I took 2 breaths of helium joking around and nearly blacked out. It was painless.

I can appreciate that this guy is sad that his brother is dead but for fuck's sake, if he killed other people in cold blood during a robbery then he damn sight deserved it. Feelings be damned. He didn't take into account the feelings of the people he killed or their families.

      metallicaandchimaira Not true. Death row requires higher security than normal prisons and the numerous appeals people on death row go through are more expensive as well. It works out more expensive to keep someone on death row than in a regular prison. I'm opposed to the death penalty for moral reasons most of all, but from a financial standpoint, it doesn't make that much sense, either.

    Ronnie Lee Gardner killed a person with a shot in the face, in order to rob the victim of $100. Later, while he was being taken through a court building, a person near him was able to pass him a gun. Using this gun, he shot a court officer in the abdomen, and a court lawyer in the eye. The lawyer died. Unable to escape, Gardner threw the gun on the ground and surrendered. Later, while in prison, Gardner became intoxicated on alcohol which he had brewed in the sink of his cell. He used a shiv to stab another prisoner nine times in the face, mouth, arm and chest. Randy Gardner talks about his brother as though he is an innocent victim, but the reality is the clear opposite. His death by firing squad was an act of mercy. A truly just society would have killed him with a gunshot to the face, as he had inflicted on his two murder victims.

      While I don’t have much sympathy for the murderer themselves, I do see that innocent family members can’t just hate the criminals guts. For all we know the family never would have known what they were capable of and always saw the murderer as a good person.
      None of that means that the innocent care nothing at all about the victim/s. They just never saw a monster until that day.
      It’s a complicated psychology that is hard to understand.

      The hanging method has its own challenges, as one has to factor in the prisoner's weight, the length of the rope, etc. Otherwise, you get situations where the prisoner strangles to death (which can take a REALLY long time) or where the prisoner's head pops off (which can be REALLY traumatizing for anybody watching and/or cleaning up) or where the rope breaks and the prisoner doesn't die at all (which can be REALLY complicated, legally speaking).

      The Patriot We do not live in the stone age anymore. Every human deserves a second chance.
      Think about this:
      You get a new neighbour, but oh oh. He was just released from prison. You can choose one criminal that will live next to you. Who do you choose?
      A) A criminal that has been locked in a cell, and treated with nothing but disrespect.
      B) A criminal that got an education, learned to cook food and regrets what he did.
      The obvious answer is B. The american justice system has to stop focusing on revenge. Yes, it feels good, but out justice system cannot be run by emotions. We have to make sure that society keeps running optimally, which is impossible if we ruin our criminals, instead of making them functioning, tax paying member of our society.

      Aski
      Your rebuttal is flawed. You are talking about a criminal that has been reformed through a recognizance of their own ways. They decided they were going to become a contribution to society instead of continuing to carry out acts of crime.
      People who kill here and get the death penalty get it because they thought about it or did it heinously. It wasn't some person that accidentally struck and killed someone by running them over with a car. These people who get the death penalty get it because they are a drain on our taxation system to continue to support their life in a prison cell otherwise they would just go out and kill again. Those people are psychopathic and have no regard or remorse for life. If you were sentenced the death penalty here, i trust that the justice system was justified in that conviction. The justice system is not a revenge, it is there to replace the justice that a person of revenge would take. Get it straight.

      No but you have to get past whether the killer is a good person or not. They aren't. But they are alive, many mentally insane, but alive. Making them suffer is pointless if you are about to kill them. If you think about it objectively (which I tend to do), we should strive to make life as painless as possible, and it makes no sense to make another life suffer before death, even if that life belongs to a bad person.

Otterstrom, a mountain climber and veteran of the 19th Special Forces Group of the Utah National Guard, was survived by his wife Kathy and his five-year-old son, Jason.[15] Burdell was a Vietnam veteran, former engineer, and member of the Summum Church.
    By the by the man shot in the eye did not die right away, he suffered for 45 minutes before dieing in the hospital. Hey man your brother was a wild animal that could not control himself and the just thing to do was to put him down.

      According to the U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board, in humans, "breathing an oxygen deficient atmosphere can have serious and immediate effects, including unconsciousness after only one or two breaths. The exposed person has no warning and cannot sense that the oxygen level is too low."
      Also,
      Physiologically inert gases (those that have no toxic effect, but merely dilute oxygen) are generally free of odor and taste. As such, the human subject detects little abnormal sensation as the oxygen level falls. This leads to asphyxiation (death from lack of oxygen) without the painful and traumatic feeling of suffocation

      I have to disagree. Killing people for killing people is like trying to right a wrong with a wrong. What we should be doing is giving people rehabilitation and correcting them so they can be a part of society once more. Even if a loved one of mine was murdered, I'd still say that the murderer deserves to be rehabilitated and brought back into society, because killing him wouldn't be righting a wrong, it would just make it even wronger.

    • @BeanSand
      @BeanSand 6 лет назад +1

      Justice is an abstract concept. For some, it would be justice to kill shoplifters or jaywalkers. Abduction and murder, however, are fairly straightforward. In a sense, cops are, in fact, state-sanctioned abductors, as they are taking people by threat of potentially lethal force. Most would agree, however, that this is necessary to some extent to maintain order in our society.
      Likewise, executioners are committing state-sanctioned murder, as they are taking the life of another person outside of self-defense. Some people, again, believe this is a necessary facet of a society that wishes to maintain order. On this point, I must disagree. There is always the option to keep killers in prison. To kill them as retribution serves only to soothe the crying of the families of victims by creating another grieving family, and at an enormous cost to the public.

      @@ismaeelrossan2728 Death is imminent to every immortal being. Murderers deserve death even if they didn't die out naturally. They KILLED someone innocent who probably was a mother, a child, a caring father or loving sibling and it also messed up their family members. It's a traumatizing situation for them to lose someone they love the most! So what you sow is what you reap! When you kill someone innocent who has done you no harm you too deserve to die no matter what your family thinks. The same pain is deserved to be felt by the murderer and his family too. The fact that he's a murderer says alot about his wrong upbringing by the ones who raised him as well as his own actions that he's done over the period of his life time. So executioning him means both families suffer on equal measures. Ofcourse, the pain will be unbearable for the murderer's family too but his/her conscious action to kill someone INNOCENT without emotion and mercy deserves no mercy.

      Why should the families of criminals be made to suffer when they aren't party to the crime? The families of criminals are just as innocent as the families of victims; neither deserves to have a loved one taken away. To murder a murderer does nothing to bring back the victim. If the goal is to punish the criminal, we have a whole penal system dedicated to that end. All extra killing does is create another permanently broken family.

There comes a point where you draw the line and enact punishment that is fit to the crime committed, not anymore nor any less.

    probably more traumatising to spectators but yeah it should replace lethal injections

    I don't know...although firing squad seems to be humane on some level, I would suggest that it was done remotely, so that no actual person has to stand there holding a gun shooting a guy. It can really mess you up, no matter who you're shooting, to kill someone.

      If it messes you up to kill somebody, then don't do it.

      They choose like 4-5 people and they are behind a partition type thing and the guns are already aimed at the inmate all they have to do is pull the trigger. Also I think only two guns have live ammo in them so nobody knows who actually shot the kill shot. My brother worked at the Utah State prison and told me this is how it's done.

      I think it's like one gun has a blank, and all of them are shooting live ammos. There is way more than 2 bullets in that picture that's for sure
