In this instance because this event happened 16 year-olds were born, so most wouldn't recognize the name with the deed.

Timothy McVeigh was responsible for the Oklahoma City Bombing, which prior to 9/11/01 was the deadliest terrorist attack on US soil.

It was a truck bomb.

And... 19 of those were innocent little children at a day care facility on the 2nd floor of the building he blew up.

One of the first major news stories I was aware of as a child. I guess many Imgurians were too young to remember or not yet born. Dang...

It was before I'd even started school and I still remember hearing the boom from it... we though the trash truck had driven into the house

I was too young to remember but I still know who he was...some people just don't care about history anymore :/

In 1995 Timothy McVeigh blew up a federal building in Oklahoma City, OK, USA~ killing 168 and injuring hundreds more.

It's so scary that he grew up 30 mins from where I live.

Many of whom were children in a daycare.

19 to be precise :(
zombiequeen394
just dont understand why he was convicted in indiana instead of oklahoma where the 168 murders happened
maridoos
He was charged with Federal crimes in a Federal trial, location was irrelevant. He was convicted in Denver, Co. He was exectued in Indiana.
zombiequeen394
being from OKC it kinda hurts that they didn't give us okies who suffered at his hands the satisfaction of trying him in our state

I had that thought at first...then I realized there are people here that aren't old enough to remember, as well as people not from the US.

If anyone's ever in OKC, pop by and visit the memorial. We definitely haven't forgotten.
tardusmaximus
Great point! I can't wait to go see it, thank you.

Wait, do you mean that 168 counts of murder = 168 people killed by that man??? I'm not from the USA, so I don't know these terms.

Lots of things are still things in Utah. Like cavemen hunting dinosaurs and polygamy.

I don't see an execution as a police officer's job. That's a mostly military thing. Anyway, fuck death penalty.

He requested it because of his "Mormon heritage" Also he wanted the state to look bad in time for the 2002 Olympics

Not sure, but I thought I heard about someone requesting to die that way in the past year or so. Probably not the same person though.

and in Washington, i believe. can't recall exactly, but i looked up death penalty by state once...a few still have it.

It was no longer standard, but he threatened to sue if they wouldn't use it.

it was by his choice, something to do with blood atonement because of his religion

MrBananaBeak
Still technically in use in the US Military.
ViralLola
I think it was a special request based on his religion & I think Utah had an assortment of methods.
carty64
he requested it, that's the only way you'll get it
r0b0tc0rpse
Firing squad is the most humane way to go. Lethal injection is performed by in experienced techs since docs are forbidden to carry it out.
r0b0tc0rpse
It's a lot easier to get some guards proficient with rifles. Death is nearly instant. Lethal inj paralyzes your diaphragm and you suffocate.
qaied
He requested it because of his "Mormon heritage" Also he wanted the state to look bad in time for the 2002 Olympics
spidermonkeyicecreamboobs
they should still do a firing squad, its the cheapest way. i think its 6 men handed loaded rifles 4 have blanks 2 have live rounds.
ThisIsMySin
I wouldn't mind firing squad to be honest.
StarkRG
I'd rather a painless death myself...
sirpipthegreat
yeah, i mean, if i had to go... not much classier than a blind fold and a cig.
Qtoy
I've personally always wanted, not a firing squad, platoon, or company, but a firing battalion and only like, 3 guys have blanks.
Qtoy
That or a tank column.
sinkingfeeling
It's cost-effective and humane. No shooter really knows which bullet was real, and it's cheaper than the chair, the chamber or injection.
FatForYou
Still wouldn't wanna be in the squad.
sinkingfeeling
I'm not cool on the death penalty, but if we 'must,' then make it as cheap and painless as possible. LOTR FTW!
bradleyk
Though by tradition, there are 6 shooters but with one gun loaded. His family counted six bullet holes in him.
sinkingfeeling
That...shouldn't be the case. Call me naive, but things like that shouldn't go that way (in a perfect world, there's no death penalty, w/e).
diddiz
I'd prefer this over injection or frying ...
ghathat
Especially preferred over injection. The procedure isn't executed by trained personal and the sedation would not be enough to sedate a dog.
arusso13
I agree. It's over quick from what I've heard.
You1OutOfTheGenePool
Agreed - provided that your shooters are A) good shots B) not trying to make you suffer
ian2stutz
from what ive been told it is five marksman but only one actually has a round in the chamber, the rest have blanks.
ian2stutz
this is to conceal to the shooters which one is actually killing the man. this way is supposed to be easier on their conciseness.
sianmink
Other way. 4 live rounds, 1 blank. but getting shot in the heart with 4 high power rifles at once is a darn quick way to go.
DynamicMeerkat
I think it's usually the other way around, with one marksman firing a rifle containing a blank. Same concept though - the 'conscience round'
ian2stutz
i think you're right i probably remembered it incorrectly
huanthewolfhound
One state out there still has hanging on the books. They just don't use it.
EPCOT
If you were convicted before 1999 you got to chose among a number of methods.

I was under the impression you were allowed to choose any means that was common practice at some point. Heard this before 1999 though...
avberdy
I'm thinking he/she means a number of methods to be killed...
EPCOT
I mean it wasn't an unlimited list...there were a number of options, like firing squad, electric chair, hanging, injection...
HeyFolks
I can imagine the firing squad being like : OHH YEAH DUDE HE PICKED US. GO GET THE GUNS FROM THE ARMORY WE'LL HAVE A BLAST
ScrumdiddlyumptiousBar
I'm not sure who, but I know one man chose to be hung but his lawyer claimed it was cruel and unusual punishment because the man was (1/2)
ScrumdiddlyumptiousBar
That's about the time they began to rethink letting them choose their execution method. (3/3)

DEATH BY SNOO SNOO!
Dogchimp
Hey, they dont always die from letheal injection right away, Illinois had a moriatoruim on executions for a while cause of something
You1OutOfTheGenePool
Electric chair is no better
arcusprotus
The moratorium in IL (now an outright ban) was because dozens had been exonerated from death row in the last 15 years due to DNA evidence.
Dogchimp
The more you know, thanks
TigerWalt
If I recall correctly, he was the last one. It was based on an old Mormon theology called blood atonement.
JustOtterlyAwful
Thanks. I was wondering the same thing.
RonSwansonsPyramidofGreatness
absolutely wrong. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/06/19/us/19death.html?_r=0 inmates were given the choice of guns or needles. He picked gun
TigerWalt
How is that wrong? The article supported the fact that he is the last one up until now. And it's no longer allowed unless grandfathered.
theunclebob
The Mormon theology part is wrong.
TigerWalt
I would say Brigham Young's Journal of Discourses outlines it pretty clearly.
Retro84
Why was the firing squad abolished anyway? Appears much more civilized to me than to be toasted on an electric chair
TigerWalt
I'm guessing lawmakers had some issue with blood being spilt.
TigerWalt
or spilled, i guess, i'm not sure on the correct past tense.
DoctorFrankenstein
I agree, I'd prefer to take a bullet to the head and finish it rather than be restrained and tortured on a chair before dying.
myjimmiesarerustled
I believe it's because there is a higher chance of surviving/suffering with firing squad compared to chair/injection
RoseTylerKillsDaleks
maybe a firing squad could just be one man to put a bullet in his head...pistol right to the skull.
DoctorFrankenstein
Look up Romel Broom. http://theminaretonline.com/2010/12/08/article15254 1/2
dimmidice
you do realize firing squads have a much higher chance of you surviving the first round right?

Even if the person survives the first round, how much time would he suffer until the second finishes him ? 0.32 seconds ?

None of them being remorse for the murderers, its just simply... strange

Neither. I'm just gonna tell you to have a tall glass of chill the fuck out.

many emotions here too. I was sad, even reading their murder counts. A single olive. Oh what a world.
IWannaBeTheVeryBest
It should because we should rise above and be civil even when these people can't.
verysimpleusername
I AGREE WITH YOU!
AnarchistAbe
They forfeit their rights the moment they decide to take a life. Civility is reserved for the civilized. Not monsters, but men.
TheGreatMizuti
Then we become monsters as well. This is already sanctioned murder.
AnarchistAbe
Wow. Bravo! You win the "Bleeding Heart Liberal" award for the day!!! Congrats! Do you have some prepared words?
IWannaBeTheVeryBest
They're still people. What does it say about a person who looks at them and falls to their level? Who rises above it?
AnarchistAbe
If I started slaughtering random people on the street, that's falling to their level. Their level is the killing on "innocnent" civilians.

AnarchistAbe
Also, I want to extend my appreciation towards you. Seeing all these "we shouldn't kill them" posts makes me sick. +1 for getting the point.
AnarchistAbe
Good on you! I can't believe people defend these monsters and their "rights". You forfeited those when you stole someone else's life.
deathpuppet
Killing someone who killed someone else doesn't bring the victim back. Two wrongs don't make a right. I will just have to disagree.
Kyleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Two wrongs do not make a right.
AnarchistAbe
But three rights make a left. And killing a killer is justice. Pure, unadulterated justice.
Kyleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
So by that logic, whoever killed these murderers should be killed as well, to make the third "right"
AnarchistAbe
[2] one is sanctioned justice. The other is murder. One is the random act of a psychopath, the other is the end result of a due process.
AnarchistAbe
No. Why don't people get this part??? "Innocent" Civilian > killed by psycho. Psycho > killed by court appointed executioner.
puffsdangerfield
I argue that opinion. Regardless of how horrendous they may have been, we as "innocent" citizens had decided to take their life. 1/2
TracerBulletPI
No, we didn't decide to take their life, THEY decided to take their life when they committed the crimes. Hang them high.
deathpuppet
That is simply untrue. When punishments of different magnitude vary across state borders, who knows if they knew the punishment in store.
TracerBulletPI
Not knowing the punishment is not an excuse.
puffsdangerfield
If you strip away the mercy we give that their victims were denied then what is the true difference between their actions and ours?
AnarchistAbe
Do you honestly see no difference? Slaughtering a soccer mom and executing John Wayne Gacy are the same in your eyes?
puffsdangerfield
Killing someone is still killing someone, regardless if it's justifiable. How do you justify depravity to answer it? How are you better?
tillyman123
