South Carolina is now prepared to carry out executions by firing squad, the state Department of Corrections told the state Attorney General's office on Friday.
Once approval comes from the state Supreme Court, the death sentences facing the state's 35 death-row inmates can follow.

They should hold a lottery to see who gets to be on the firing squad ;^D
ReplyDeletePay per view?
ReplyDeleteI think they should be executed the same way as their victim was.
ReplyDeleteHanging, just like in the movie "Tom Horn". That way there's no argument over who gets the job

I personally prefer scaphism for pedos and murderers.

Damn. Never heard of scaphism before, but now that you mention it...

Have to admit, I had to look that one up. I thought dieing by woodchipper was bad.

Who thinks it's important to ask an inmate how they want to be executed? Just like the last meal request. "We're gonna kill ya, but what do you want for dinner?" SMH....
ReplyDeleteWell, if they offered their victims a choice......
DeleteThen again, I would hope one of them would say natural causes because there is nothing more natural then being eaten by a predator.
I would say the firing squad would be cheaper than lethal injection but with the price of ammo......
ReplyDeleteBullet in the back of the head, bill the next of kin for the bullet.
DeleteI never said the Chinese didn't have some good ideas.
"would be cheaper"...
ReplyDeleteFFS, even cheaper, grab $50 from petty cash, give to anyone of the good local cops. Tell them to hit up one of the local dealers for some of that good fentanyl-laced shit. Add in the cost of one hypo and we're done here.
Just take it from the evidence locker for resolved cases.
DeleteChoose the way they want too die. Fuck em. They didn't give their victim a choice. If I were a Judge it would be firing squad every time. Got the gun, bullets are cheap and no lack of people willing to pull the trigger. I agree anyone should be able to sign up to be on the firing squad. It should be a Right.
ReplyDelete"Let's do it". Garry Gilmore circa 1977.
ReplyDeleteVictims family should have first choice to be on the firing squad.
ReplyDeleteWould solve the problem of those that want to block the use of drugs.
ReplyDeleteAnd I think Exile1981 has the right idea for at least the worst of the lot...pedos and the like.
The only reason for anything messier than a .45 in the cranium is "pour encourager les autres", like scaphism mentioned above (slow and messy, and well, yuck, or something called the Bull).
ReplyDeleteUnless this is a vengeance thing, think of all those bits legitimately available for transplantation that go to waste.
Let's, um, kill to birds with one stone. Give em some muscle relaxant, and hook em up to a heart-lung machine, and let them watch while their vital organs are harvested for said purpose.
Hilary, I'm looking at you
