Honestly, the idea that execution of all things should somehow be made 'non-gruesome', as if its 'gruesomeness' has anything at all to do with what's really happening, is possibly even more repulsive and anti-human than the insistence on executing people is itself.
The one positive of it being gruesome is that seeing the gore of a person executed by firing squad is a reminder of just how violent it is to kill someone made clearer than in a lethal injection. Here there is no sugar coating it.
While I agree with both of you, let's remind ourselves that state execution should
never actually be gruesome whether as a matter of fact or whether trying to make a public statement, as it is in nearly every other country that carries it out.
