Firing squad execution in Utah hours away !!

Any of you guys see this? Ronnie Lee Gardner, 49, is poised to become the first American prisoner in 14 years to be executed using the bloody Old West-style method at 12:05 am Friday local time (0605 GMT) barring a dramatic late reprieve. http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20100617...20100617224908 Go Utah !!

Can we let the victim's surviving relatives pull the trigger(s)?

THEN that would be justice served with a side of victims rights.

It's not justice, it's a sham.....the guy, himself, chose the firing squad over lethal injection...

The family members of the victim should choose what weapon will be used. Ranging from .25 cal to 20 mm! I would have to vote for an officer with a .44 magnum, and he would have to use the phrase "Do you fell lucky punk?" right before he pulls the trigger.

I believe they use M14s or something along those lines.
