Botched firing squad

[toobfreak]

My post was about pure vacuum..and correct.

Why would you need a pure vacuum? For one thing, not even NASA has ever achieved a pure vacuum. But long before you even got remotely close to anything approaching a real vacuum, the person would be dead.

Even deep space is not really a pure vacuum.

Maybe they could launch him in one of Jeff Bezos/Katy Perrys rockets to 300,000 feet (about 65 miles up) and just open the door.

I hope it did hurt.

...Or...did they really 'miss' at all?
Perhaps they just colluded to give a cop-killer a hard death~

Then again maybe not.

Story by Sarah Rumpf-Whitten
An inmate put to death last month in South Carolina's second firing squad execution was conscious and likely in extreme pain for up to a minute after the bullets missed their target, attorneys allege.

Dr. Jonathan Arden, a forensic pathologist hired by Mikal Mahdi's attorneys, alleged that the execution on April 11 was a "massive botch" after he completed an analysis of the autopsy findings, according to the pathologist's report, which was filed Thursday with a letter to the state Supreme Court.

Mahdi, 42, was convicted in the 2004 killings of an off-duty police officer in Calhoun County, South Carolina, and a convenience store clerk in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. He was sentenced to death for the murder of the officer and life in prison for the clerk's murder.

Arden's analysis alleged that only two bullets struck Mahdi, both low in the torso and well below the heart, contradicting protocol which requires three shots to the heart for rapid death.

The partial damage to Mahdi’s heart allowed continued circulation, leading Arden to determine that Mahdi likely remained conscious for up to 60 seconds after being shot.

Witnesses to the execution, according to The AP, heard Mahdi cry out as the shots were fired, groan again some 45 seconds later and let out one last low moan just before he appeared to draw his final breath at 75 seconds.

What caliber gun was used?
If they used a shotgun slug or buckshot it would not matter if they missed the bullseye a little.
They should use fentanyl, because we know it works.
It's what killed George Floyd.

What difference does it make if they hit the heart? He could have remained conscious for that long even if they hit the heart!

I have to challenge the story. They use experienced shooters and of course there will be a physical reaction to being shot. More than likely, he went into shock when hit and wasn't aware of much.

I'm just trying to imagine how bad a shot you'd have to be to miss a guy's heart (or body entirely) with a rifle at the distance of a firing squad.

I'm kinda thinking maybe they did it deliberately with only two in the gut as payback for killing that cop.

Try a bazooka.

No need to open the door. Don't pressurize after liftoff! They'll die on the way up!

Feet first to make it last longer!

You know it had to.

Even in a perfect execution where to hit the chest, best you can do is explode the heart. But the brain is still alive and awake and feels everything until one loses consciousness from loss of blood and breathing.

Pretty much the same with a decapitation: without the body, the brain probably stays awake/alive for a couple seconds as the head rolls across the room.

That is why decapitated heads always have a look of total surprise on their face.

Thank you for writing my post out for me.

If only they were ALL botched. If it were up to me, I'd feed them to a pack of wild dogs.

Dropping them from a very high building or structure.

Like I said before, firing squad by robot. Zero it in and boom boom boom boom.

I am NOT laughing at the death of this murdering scum; just that anybody would give a damn what happened during his execution. I don't, but to execute him after 20+ years in jail? Why not within a week of the final appeal?

I always liked tying them to the front of a 105mm Howitzer and firing.

The Shells are kinda pricey, but I like the can't miss aspect.
