Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Am I missing something obvious as to why they don't use firing squads? Is it a matter of "optics" or so whoever's making the lethal* injection juice can sell at a huge markup?
Makes the execution less violent and more "acceptable".
liberals will commit the most horrific crimes against nature just to avoid the optics of violence.
Yeah, everything that was done to make the death penalty more "humane" has been done to make it more comfortable for the executioners and the public, rather than for the ones being executed.
it also denies the murdered prisoner a bit of dignity imo, instead of standing, cursing his killers its this medicalized byzantine ritual
You also can’t taunt their killers and haunt their dreams before they unload their rifles. Lethal injection means they watch you ‘peacefully’ fall asleep
