Which one? [I Am My Own Judge and Executioner]

If you had to be executed, what method would you choose if given a choice? For instance, if you were convicted of your crime in Utah, they give you a choice of hanging or death by firing squad. Which one? And why would you pick it?

@Foxyfoxfox it sounds painful. Same like death by stones.

@Foxyfoxfox As with hanging, and some other types of executions, you'd be entitled to eye covering. And bullets are not very painful beyond the initial hit; they sting and burn for a few seconds.

@littlepuppywantanewlife stoning can go on for a long time. They may not lob the lethal blow till after they have suffered greatly.

@cherokeepatti Sounds horrific. 😞

@littlepuppywantanewlife I have had so many bad experiences in my life, so much bad luck, I can easily imagine dying in an unjust execution. That's what made me consider this question.

@greenmountaingal I am sorry that you have seen so many suffering. Recovering for mental health is much harder then physical pain. You are strong that you faced and have learnt alot. For me the only thing is death or killing someone itself is unjustified. It is only fair punishment for severe crimes like rape, murder and in wars. people should never do horrible things to get death penalty.
