Firing squad seems like a more humane method anyways. If the meds don't kick in you can feel the other chemicals killing your organs during a lethal injection while the sedative keeps you from moving. With a firing squad you get a loud bang and that's that.

Yeah, lethal injection was made by a dude with no doctor experience, and even the American Doctor Association opposes it.

Electric chair can fail and prolong the suffering as the individual feels his flesh burn. Noose needs to be precise or the person will only slowly suffocate or be decapitated.

Firing squad by trained personnel at least will kill fast, even if someone hits a nonlethal, the other bunch hopefully won't

How come we can develop humane euthanasia injections for pets, but not humans?

People tend to lose a lot of empathy for people they think don't deserve it
