    The thing about a bullet, is someone has to shoot it. The crane could be set on a timer, so nobody has to feel guilty for pulling the trigger.

      That’s a thought. 🙂

      Guilt for administering a death has been thought of before; that’s part of the reason why there’s a firing ‘squad’. You have however many people with lethal rounds, and however many people with dummy/blank rounds, so nobody knows for sure whose bullets were live & killed him.
