Outdated Thai Execution

CoralReef · #1 ● 02-08-2010, 10:21 AM

Thailand used a single executioner with a one stand mounted machine gun per prisoner, to put murderers and drug traffickers to death. Over 500 people were shot in Thailand between 1937, when shooting replaced beheading and October 2003, when Thailand moved to lethal injection as its sole method of execution.

Interesting. I have never heard of or seen that type of execution before. I presume the screen is there to protect the shooter from blood splatter or maybe I am a complete moron and it's there for another reason?!
