The firing squad method sparked controversy earlier this year after witnesses to the execution of killer Mikal Mahdi, 42, said he suffered excruciating pain when the shooters missed his heart.

Stephen Bryant, 44, was shot by three volunteers with rifles shortly after 6pm, more than 20 years after he killed three people during a vicious crime spree.

Then why not THIRTY volunteers from a distance of FIVE feet?!

An easy solution occurs to me...

Regards,

Or they could just chop him into little pieces and suck him up with a vacuum cleaner. Liberals think that is good enough for unborn babies.

Excellent. So the one suffered before he died? You mean he got exactly what his innocent victims got?

Karma’s a bitch ain’t it?

I’m sure his victims appealed to him to spare their lives as well.

The optics aren’t good but a long drop hanging probably minimizes pain vs either lethal injection or the chair.

He lived to tell about it. His victims weren't so fortunate.

This bleeding heart nonsense for murderers and making sure they meet a comfortable end sickens and angers me.

Karma’s a bitch ain’t it? ???!

It’s Karma? I thought it was Carmen, she sure effed me over my senior year.

Why so few gun men? Besides hanging works and the victims didn’t get to chose. Just sayin.

Why only 3? I thought it was 10. Don’t know where I got that from but I thought that was the number.

he sought to blame his sickening crimes on brain damage

Too bad so sad...

Now he died from lead poisoning.

Why it takes 20 years to do it, I dunno...

You want saved? Wake-up quit settling for crap. And defend yourself. The only time you have to turn your check is to a fellow Christian. Otherwise, draw your sword and defend the Kingdom of God. IMO

20yrs is 19yrs too long (allowing 1yr for trial & 1 possible appeal)

No, here in SC they only use 3.
On a side note, I live in the neighboring county to where his crimes occurred. The fact the killer taunted the daughter of one of his victims still haunts a lot of people around here. He did this by answering the victim’s cell phone when his daughter called him and boasting that she couldn’t talk to her dad because he had just killed him. This scumbag definitely fell under the SPJNK category.

I’ve had to put down three horses, two dogs, and two cats. I loved them all. One shot to the point. A piece of my heart left every time. No misses. I won’t miss. SOB desired to die. Trigger pull or gallows lever. It’s out responsibly. IMO you can’t handle it. STFU and get off the third rock from the sun.

The Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment for a reason. Not because of what it does to the convict, but what it does to the executioners, what it does to the society that sanctions it.

The last one to get the bullets was a local cop who was gunned down by a thug.
