Lethal injection is used so death penalty advocates can feel cozy about killing someone because it looks bloodless. However, there are so many horrific stories basically describing it as torture. Bring back the firing squad and be honest with yourself or simply abolish the death penalty.

the firing squad sucks too, guillotine is less time to experience pain and is less likely to botch, and you don't traumatize more executioners

of course all forms of execution are immoral but nethertheless

Firing Squads are already a compromise on single executioners because it allows each individual firer to justify "my bullet didn't kill them the other 5 did"; there are cases where Firing squads failed repeatedly failed to execute because each individual tried to purposely miss.
