I'm speechless. This is so shocking and disturbing.

Utah lawmakers on Tuesday approved a measure that would make firing squad the method of execution in the state if authorities can't obtain increasingly scarce lethal injection drugs.

Before the 18-10 vote by the state Senate, Gov. Gary Herbert declined to say explicitly if he would sign the bill but noted that Utah is having trouble finding chemicals to kill death-row inmates...

A poll commissioned by NBC News last spring, in the wake of a badly botched lethal injection in Oklahoma, found Americans are open to alternatives if the needle no longer becomes a viable way to carry out the death penalty.

Twenty percent of those polled expressed support for the gas chamber, 18 percent for the electric chair, 12 percent for the firing squad and 8 percent for hanging.

Should all be banned. It is crazy how many innocent people have been executed.

IF your gonna be executed, seems like a mans way to go.

A lot of the Nazi's wanted the firing squad but were denied because they were such dogs.

Instead they got hung like the vermin they were.
