This will be the first execution by firing squad in 15 years. The article also contains a concise history of the use of firing squads for executions:
The US is killing someone by firing squad for the first time in 15 years. Here's a look at the history
Firing squads have a long and storied history in the U.S. They've served as a punishment for mutiny in colonial times, a way to discourage desertion during the Civil War and a dose of frontier justice in the Old West.apnews.com
I will add that one of our dear friends was texting about some frat fcks giving girls at iu roofies. If my daughter got roofied the justice system would have to be punitive for me to not have a brick find that head on an unexpected day.

Death in a hail of bullets has been used to punish mutinies and desertion in armies, as frontier justice in America’s Old West and as a tool of terror and political repression in the former Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.
Does that really bother you? That was a pretty straightforward, factual article. You think we're going to turn gay, I mean progressive, just for reading it?

The idea that they put a confessed murderer choosing a firing squad in the same realm as Nazi's lining people up next to an open trench does bother me.
