The USA is intending to livestream a firing squad execution. This is a cruel and outdated approach and should be condemned. The execution of anyone should be quick, painless and not a public event.
The USA does seem to be willing to do things most think are no longer appropriate, so how long will it be before they bring back a stadium with a person to be executed facing a hungry lion? History shows it used to be popular.
