#11  Probably not Pitchforks, that would be "Piercing" and banned.

#10  JohnQC, your comment reminds me of King of the Ants, one of the scariest B-movie I've ever seen.

#9  The Onions take:Jones added that in a pinch, the hammering squad could also use the butt end of a screwdriver or a cast-iron skillet.

Would bowling balls, baseball bats, golf clubs, mauls, pitchforks be acceptable substitutes as well?

#8  No kidding. W. Bush was willing to sign off on a military execution, but then some lower authority took the decision out of his hands.

#7  The Army would never do that.

The Army would, but the Military Court of Appeals won't. They've been the road block for a long time like their civilian counterparts.

#4  I'm leaning towards Oklahoma law, because it is a lot fiercer than military law. Plus, if any of the wounded people die, the Okies will expeditiously execute the lot of them. The Army would never do that.

The Onion had an amusing take on it.

#3  Post commander refers to it as an... "isolated incident."

Hopefully the perps will face a very long stay at the Fort Leavenworth Disciplinary barracks alongside all the other.... "isolated incident" personnel.

#2  The question is to go with the civilian trial or a military courts martial. That's an option for the authorities to work out. Usually the military will defer to the locals. On the other hand the locals could save money by allowing the military to do the work. It'll be a weighing of whose penalty is more severe.

#1  you should've added the "toast" graphic, because that's what they are: toast. They're already admitting it and turning on each other. Should be a very short trial
