Oh man!!! That’s what I’m talking about! Feminism baby! Y’all think they’ll get enough ladies, who can actually shoot, to do the job? Ha! Maybe she’s thinking they’ll be such lousy shots that she’ll only be wounded and then she’d either be released or get life because to go through another Execution would be Cruel and Unusual Punishment!!

They should end her life the same way she ended Colleen Slemmer’s life.

Exactly.
They’re using the old liberal model that women won’t shoot.
Totally unfamiliar with todays highly trained, competitive woman that happens to shoot

Are trans-gender women allowed? If so, I will identify as such, dress as such and volunteer. Someone PM me.

I have veins that are hard to find and had surgery a little more than two weeks ago. They found a deep vein and hit it right the first time. The procedure is to use an ultrasonic sounder that’s much like a sonic stud finder, administer a local anesthetic, hit the vein and do the job.

Not so sure about that: a few female officers in my agency consistently out shot the males. The reason: they were farm girls.

We are brothers. Make the executions “usual” to defuse the wimpy “cruel and unusual punishment” dodge. And cruel is dependent upon the beholder.

So how come sassy convicts get to make demands?

Like the Iranians on their last legs but issuing demands to the US and fellow states in the region before granting safe passage in the Strait of Hormuz. Plus reparations.
