Isn't head for an eye "cruel and unusual" in and of itself?  Well, I guess it's not unusual given its common usage.
I don't see how. Cruel is what was suggested by someone else after my post, blinding them before killing them. There is no need for torture.
You're being completely subjective on this issue. What constitutes cruelty varies greatly from person to person and from culture to culture. You said he should be shot to death... some people would consider that pretty cruel. It's quite funny hearing someone who agrees with the death penalty preaching about cruelty to be quite honest.
Well out in the real world, we use the definition of cruel.

A firing squad is not cruel.

A firing squad is not cruel.
Cruel
1: disposed to inflict pain or suffering : devoid of humane feelings <a cruel tyrant>
2 a: causing or conducive to injury, grief, or pain <a cruel joke> b: unrelieved by leniency <cruel punishment>

Have you guys developed a method of shooting someone that doesn't physically hurt? ...what will you guys come up with next?

Uh, yeah, multiple instantaneous kill shots.

They still hurt on the way in mate. To argue over this would, again, be an exercise in subjectivity.

No, only an exercise in technicality.

If you want to play lawyer here, prove that the pain impulses actually get to the brain and the brain reacts to them before they die. Then you can complain about the milliseconds of pain they feel.

I'll wake them up and ask them shall I?

How about I line some puppies up in front of a firing squad and ask people if they think it will be cruel or not to shoot them? I mean if the pain impulses aren't going to make it to the brain in time then it isn't really an issue, is it?
