DC sniper sentenced to death will be shot at ‘point blank range’

- Blix Panda

Infamous DC sniper, John Allen Muhammad was sentenced to death this week as the judge in the case made the unusual step of asking for “death by firearm at point blank range.”

The ACLU jumped in immediately saying that, “Muhammad’s constitutional right to death from a distance is being grossly violated.”

Standing in his orange jump suit Muhammad took the sentencing calmly. His attorney, while conceding to the courts wishes, argued firmly against the manner of termination. The prosecution refused to budge. “This guy is a discredit to the human race. I think he is getting off light. Quick and painless. If it were up to me I would have pushed for death at close range by B.B. gun.”

This new method of execution has legal analyst perplexed. How exactly do they carry this out? Some analyst envision a sort of “glory hole” method where Muhammad places his face near a hole in a wall and someone on the other side sticks a gun through.

Currently there is no one licensed within the penal system to carry out such measures, leaving victim’s families to call for a “drawing” amongst themselves for the opportunity to execute Muhammad.

One family member suggested they auction the execution to the highest bidder.
