The South Carolina House voted Wednesday to add a firing squad to the state’s execution methods amid a lack of lethal-injection drugs — a measure meant to jump-start executions in a state that once had one of the busiest death chambers in the nation.
The bill, approved by a 66-43 vote, will require condemned inmates to choose either being shot or electrocuted if lethal injection drugs aren’t available. The state is one of only nine to still use the electric chair and will become only the fourth to allow a firing squad.
South Carolina last executed a death row inmate 10 years ago Thursday.

Now if only they started bringing members of felchi fa and burn loot murder to the firing squad, though I don’t think justice can truly be served unless we sold these people to ISIS

How about public stocks for minor ofenses by those need 21? It beats putting kids in jail with criminal. Make em stand in a stock for 18 hours and call it even.

Jamacia brought back the cat-o-9-tails several year ago. Or was talking about it. I lived in Singapore, and you did not cross the police there.

Hey, we have a surplus of Covid “Vax”
To: McGruff
This doesn’t add up. How can there be a shortage of lethal injection drugs while at the same time in some states the “assisted suicide” industry is humming along?
