Hear recently about the prisoner that asked for a firing squad rather than lethal injection? Maybe he didn't like getting stuck with needles. It seems that hanging and firing squads are still options in some states. - 0074b507, Apr 27, 2010
I know exactly what you mean Issa, but I think I would say it this way '... syringes (that are) used for lethal injections feel'. - galsally, Apr 27, 2010
Thanks, Sally - that was my first option, but I wanted the translation closer to the Spanish phrase - Issabela, Apr 27, 2010
