The only difference between a humane and an inhumane death, is whether or not it leaves a mess.
A person can be killed instantly through many different means.
As we know it, to be killed painlessly, is to be killed instantly.
If you instantly destroy a person's entire brain then they died without pain.
Yet the most effective ways of instantly destroying someone's entire brain are considered inhumane.
If instantly killing someone by smashing their head with a massive rock, or shooting them in the brain stem is inhumane, then there is no humane way to kill someone at all.

It is because of the way it is, otherwise he shoots you and rapes your children. (No exaggeration, Russians did that)
That sounds like your average american too.
Nonetheless, if you start thinking that killing is humane because "they deserve it", I will repeat myself, you have a serious problem.
Because I'm pretty sure that this horrible rapist invader is also convinced that you deserve it, yet I don't believe you would find their behaviour humane for that reason.
Fair enough. While I don't subscribe to pacifism, I do prefer that self-defense be regarded as an unfortunate necessity. Celebrating violence isn't going to help us.
It can be a necessity and still be inhumane.
Having to do something does not make it good, and it's fine as long as people see it.
Sounds like you support Russia.
Because I said that killing is inhumane?
Oh I forgot, Russia doesn't kill anyone, silly me /s
