This is in my humble opinion the most humane way to face execution, I would prefer this over any lethal or electrical chair proceeding as that would truly make me feel uncomfortable. This man is lucky in my opinion.

This goes under the old "two wrongs don't make a right." But humans aren't very smart. So he killed a few people. Lots of people kill a few people, directly or indirectly. I would place a curse on Stewart if I could. You aren't anybody; you have no power over another, and your death or suffering is meaningless. To dust we all return no matter, dont dwell. The law does not protect. It certainly left him barren in the first place. Sin and be sinned against. You might as well have shot your own. We're all responsible. This was to be my fate as well, witnessed by badass @, a worthless one who abandoned his own ideology, what helped one such as himself rise. He certainly couldn't have done it without that aid. It's fun to watch the helpless squirm beneath -- and to dust we all return no matter.

Two or three points: 1. Out of five executioners, only two or three may have bullets. So who knows if their guns are loaded? 2. Utah has used this method before, and is a rather conservative state. Until recently, if even changed at-all, Utah had no public bars. Drinking places were registered as private clubs. This show how conservatively odd Utah is! 3. Virginia's death penalty laws are slightly uneven, with death as a punishment for 1st or 2nd degree murder, depending on the particular crime. Yet, Virginia, Texas and Florida are a good source on this subject.

The western "propaganda" machine is engaged very strongly in eastern countries through various NGOs promoting an idea that death penalty ought to be abolished. Yet, they are practising death penalty punishment on a daily basis. What a hypocrisy!

Well, I survived, but they made me retarded.  @  Like, I'm not allowed to "rise," and I'm dizzy.  I don't feel good.  I just like to mess with them now.  Why couldn't they have a machine that automatically kills someone? Why do we have that one?  It doesn't matter how they die, as they'll never remember it.  That was not pleasing to me, so you can still feel guilty.  hehe  "Pepper" Butthole Surfers.  None too clever.
