Utah's state House votes 39-34 to reinstitute execution by firing squad

[King]

I think the condemned should be able to choose how he goes out, provided that whatever method he chooses doesn't harm others. Like, if he wants to take a bottle of Xanax and get thrown out of an airplane without a parachute over the Pacific rim. Let it be.

If it ends up being extremely unpleasant for the executed, then, well, it was his choice. The state has washed its hands of moral responsibility in the matter.
