I wasn't debating the merits of various ways the state chooses to murder people. They're doing this because they can't actually murder people without hurting them (except for that death part) via the coktail anymore. I'm just highlighting that we're really stepping up our murder game. It warms my heart.
It also might be the best thing to happen to the anti-death-penalty movement. It's easy for people to shrug off the gas chamber or lethal injection, but a firing squad is a pretty damn stark reminder of what we're having the government do on our behalf.
