I wonder why the women behind them don't look happy at all.

"Why are these women so happy?"

Because if the government kills the guy that killed their loved one it will bring their loved one back to life... 

oh wait a minute...  it is just another killing...

another person dead and more people believing that it is OK for the government to cold bloodily kill. That's right boys and girls...

government endorsed killing is making the world a better place.

Bloodlust
It'll make everything better.

maybe they're just excited that it's a firing squad and not the boring lethal injection.  Of course they were hoping for crushed with large stones but you take what you can get.

The woman on the left in back is a government worker, she is unconcerned.
The woman on the right in back is a daughter of the victim and apparently the only one who is aware of the reality of the situation.
