(14,779 posts)Remember, the people shot where pulled out of a van, then shot in the head. It was announced at the time of the execution WHY the prisoners were being executed. Being shot in the head would produce a quick death, thus everything afterward was to dead bodies NOT to living people. It is the execution I am discussing, not what the people did with the bodies afterward.
Sorry, the fact that an announcement was made as to WHY the people were being executed makes the killings sounds like a quick public execution after a trial, not a Lynching. It probably was a Summary Trial followed by a Summary Execution, but even in a Summary Trial is NOT a lynching, the prisoner had the right to be heard and see the evidence against them. Yes, public execution is NOT how we execute prisoners in the US (At least one US Prison warden, who has had to attend executions have come out to make them public, so that the people can see how horrible they are and abolish capital punishment) but is it any more inhuman the how we execute prisoners in the US? You may not like the concept of a quick shot to the head, but it stops all nerve movement, so a body dies almost instantly. I would say quicker then if someone is given poison into his or her veins.
