Now, the Justice Department should take suggestions from the public for the first person to experience it.

The Department of Justice on Friday directed the Bureau of Prisons to expand death penalty protocols to include pentobarbital injections and firing squads as part of broader actions to strengthen the federal death penalty.
"Today, the Department of Justice acted to restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences — clearing the way for the Department to carry out executions once death-sentenced inmates have exhausted their appeals," the DOJ memo obtained by Fox News read.
"Among the actions taken are readopting the lethal injection protocol utilized during the first Trump Administration, expanding the protocol to include additional manners of execution such as the firing squad, and streamlining internal processes to expedite death penalty cases," the memo read.

U.S. Citizens who volunteer for and are selected to perform firing squad duties should have all Federal Tax requirements waived for that year. https://t.co/UC3wMkUEmf

Heck, there are American citizens who would pay to be part of the squad.

The guy given the nickname 'Hamas' seems confused.
If you see anyone saying firing squads are "inhumane," just know that they have no clue what they're talking about

There's a list of reasons firing squads are better than our current default of lethal injection, and botch rates are right at the top https://t.co/q5vKUDTbS3 pic.twitter.com/Xr4aX3Xj48
Also, it's a choice. If someone sentenced to death doesn't want this form of punishment, they can choose another.
If we're gonna keep the death penalty, better this than lethal injection/electric chair. Make it quick https://t.co/ufyZOmA9tR

Love the vision, @TheJusticeDept, but can I jump in with one additional consideration? https://t.co/Xgnpzs3vks pic.twitter.com/Eqglqtcdyt
