Old Ways for the Same Result

Old Ways for the Same Result

The guillotine, lethal injection, the electric chair and countless other killing machines have slowly evolved over the many years that capital punishment has been around our world. Now Utah’s government seeks at bringing one of those deadly traps back; the firing squad. The governor of Utah, Gary Herbert was quoted saying, “a little bit gruesome” when asked about the method of the firing squad. Herbert signed this bill having the idea that if they ever do run out of the lethal injection drug that they resort to bullets instead. 
While all of this is very primal for the government to be resorting to, it makes sense in a way. Whenever there is a terrible crime committed that this should need to be enforced it is good that they have it. However, the idea that shooting someone point blank range multiple times sounds a little 1900’s for my taste. It is 2015 and with all of our modern day technology we still cannot find a more humane way to kill someone then by our own bullets, how is that even possible. It seems like our everyday focus is on war, weapons, and firepower yet we still want to shoot people to prove a point. Don't get me wrong, I don't oppose capital punishment itself, but I do oppose the ways it's being taken out by our government. You look on the news and see terrorist groups have executed another innocent person, and the only thing different between their method and ours, we use more guns when we fire. 

All About Me

Having a father who grew up in a small town in Western Nebraska, a mother who traveled the Midwestern United States all of her life, and having a 17 year old sister who never stops talking comes me. Hello, I’m Beau Stuckey the wonderful author of this tremendous blog. I am a 16 year old Omaha boy with a passion for tennis, puppies, and of course blogging! My hair, to some, is considered the best of my many fascinating features. If I let my hair overtake me and grow out to long, it does indeed become a full blown curly Afro which is something you would want to see. I cannot say that I’ve seen the world, because truly I've never been out of the country. However, I have traveled the country by having to drive the current car that I drive all the way up from Naples, Florida). I travel to Florida a good amount because my grandparents live down there and they always nag us to come for a visit. I have also seen Vermont, New York, Chicago, Washington D.C., and my favorite Lexington, Nebraska. Lexington was my dad’s home town and has a massive lake(Johnson Lake) near it which is wonderful in the summer. Most summers we will go down there for a week or two and we boat, and participate in all the lakes activities. However, water skiing will always be my favorite. I may not be a professional, but that does not even matter because once you finally get up and going you sure feel like a pro. I may not be an extraordinary person myself, but I’m sure you will love my blog.
