Talk:Execution by shooting

message: From http://www.richard.clark32.btinternet.co.uk/overview.html:
*Chinese and Uzbekistan shootings are carried out by a single bullet to the back of the head
*Yemen lays the prisoner on the ground and a single executioner shoots them with an automatic rifle

message: This page was originally written to describe "execution by a single round to the head", a concept that several editors had tried unsuccessfully to shoehorn into the execution by firing squad article.  The concept was inappropriate on the firing squad page because of the vastly different social issues and implications.  (Execution by firing squad, for example, has to deal with the concept of diffusion of responsibility, a concept not relevant when there is a single executioner.)  This page was broken out to allow for a more rich discussion of the single-shooter execution method.  
Unfortunately, because the article name wasn't great, the page has been generalized so much that it is now a self-evident definition plus a few examples.  I propose that the article's scope be returned to the single-shooter concept and the page renamed.  Any suggestions?  Rossami (talk) 19:38, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

message: So called "communist countries" were different countries with different history and legal systems. For example, in Czechoslovakia was hanging only method of execution. Shooting could purely come in force in case of war ("increased endangering of country") - it was never used. Before WWII (i.e. democratic Czechoslovakia, 1918-38) were 433 persons sentenced to death, but only 21 really executed. Immediately after WWII (1945-48) were about 730 persons executed (quislings, traitors, war criminals etc.). During communist rule were 237 persons executed between 1948-53 (190 for "political crimes") and 219 between 1953-89 (only felons - multiple murderers etc.).
I am a little disappointed by this article because it concentrates almost completely on the last century and a half but fails to explore the history of the subject. It is known that this practice was in use during the English Civil War, Lucas and Lisle being shot outside Colchester Castle, after the siege, but I wish to discover whether these are the earliest cases.Smlark (talk) 01:26, 5 September 2013 (UTC)
