It’s because they can’t buy the lethal injection cocktail from European pharmaceutical providers anymore. They’ve been sourcing the drugs from illicit sources and having untrained prison staff do the injections and many times botching it with horrific and painful consequences.
By this measure, the firing squad is practically humane.
yeah tbh I'd rather take the firing squad over even a well done lethal injection. Getting strapped on a table in front of a window and everything... it's too theatrical. Just find a nice wall for me and fire, it's old school too I can LARP that I'm like Joe Hill before I get shot
