JACKSON, Miss. — The Mississippi House wants to allow the state to execute prisoners using a firing squad if officials decide lethal injection is too expensive or unavailable.

1. Utah still allows this if the convicted so chooses.

Such a grim battlefield practice really has no place in a civilian prison.

2. If we/the state/the government is going to put people to death.....

then lets do it in an efficient, humane and PUBLIC way.

We put our pets to sleep painlessly. We shoot horses. Why can't those sentenced to the death penalty be afforded the same?

In my opinion, the state has no business dealing in death for no other reason than to satisfy revenge or some outdated biblical nonsense. But if we must, lets do it in such a way as it is instantaneous, painless and public.

Let us have public executions again and it won't be long till the truly advanced, civilized among us do away with it entirely.

3. Why not a Head Ripping-Off Machine?

In for a penny? In for a pound.

Might as well!

From The Onion, of course.
