Quote: Utah prepares for 2 firing-squad executions in June

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah (AP) -- The only state that dispatches condemned inmates by firing squad is assembling gunmen for back-to-back executions next month.
The nation's last execution by firing squad was in 1996.
Exercising their right under Utah law, a serial killer, Roberto Arguelles, and Troy Michael Kell, a white supremacist who stabbed a fellow inmate to death, have chosen the firing squad over lethal injection and are set to die at 12:01 a.m. on June 27 and 28, respectively.

How barbaric. I call upon Bush to invade Utah immediately and force this regressive regime to mend its evil ways.

i see nothing wrong witih giving them a choice. it is instant death not a painful horible one like the man 1 killed with a knife. when utah uses that method of execution they have something like 8 men with rifles. 7 have bullets 1 has a blank so none know if they actually kill him.
