It seems a bit uncivilized.

It seems a bit uncivilized.

A bit? That must be understatement of the month....

An uncivilized death for an uncivilized person.

Perhaps, if we had done this sooner, we might not have so many terrorists.

And I hope the execution squad misses the first time and shoots him in his knees.

I think showing some of these executions might be a good thing for deterent. Who knows.
Don't the firing squads have some rifles loaded with blanks so the shooters can believe "maybe not my shot"

I have heard that is done. I don’t know how effective it is. Is there a perceptible difference between firing a regular round and a blank?
