Oh please we are not terrorists. When was the last time we attacked Canada?

Seriously America, you call your selfs democratic? Land of the free? But its ok to shoot dead a guy with a firing squad?

Land of the Free does not mean that people are allowed to run about willy-nilly committing crimes and doing whatever the heck they want!.

In the US only the state of Utah offers to chose between lethal injection and firing squad. The State of Idaho has it as an option if lethal injection is "impracticable" and the state of Washington would use the firing squad if the lethal injection and electrocution would be find unconstitutional.

Since reintroduction of the death penalty in the USA 2 persons were executed by firing squad.

Gary Gilmore was executed by firing squad. He was the first who was executed after reintroducing the death penalty in January of 1977. They brought him to an empty tin-factory, seated him in an armchair and five volunteers of the prison shot him.
This was the last execution by firing squad for a long time in the USA.

On January 26, 1996 Utah wanted to execute the 36 years old John Albert Taylor. Taylor had waived his rights for further appeals and chose the firing squad as his execution method. The state had some problems with that: Politicians were afraid of negative publicity, because Utah had applied for the Olympic Winter-Games in 2002. Finally the execution was done as wanted.

How droll, we may not be as "perfect" as Canada but we are no where near as bad as the countries you listed; and you know it.
