Why does it take an entire squad?!
To: Oldeconomybuyer
I wonder if they will use a “conscience round”. Though with only 3 shooters, probably not.

To hide who actually kills the prisoner.

Why not a robot? Why a squad of men?

Really. Tell him they’re microphones and test the system. ;P

South Carolina is certainly a creative state.
They already have combination liquor store, fireworks and pornography emporiums.
Shooting ranges where you get to plink the condemned would fit right in.

“He argued that it presented “the least painful” execution method available.”
I suppose that’s the case as long as the executioner shoots straight.
To: Oldeconomybuyer
Why don’t they just use Fentanyl?
Cheap, readily available, and quick.

Three doesn't seem like enough to ensure a quick execution.
Hopefully they're using .308 or bigger.
To: definitelynotaliberal
So that no one can single out the executioner.

Michael Jackson was abusing fentanyl for several years before it killed him. What if the convict on death row fails to die and gets addicted to fentanyl? Are you willing to pay for his treatment?

So, who’s the first customer and when?
What caliber will they use?

They couldn't afford a battalion?

The victims family members should be allowed in the firing squad.

And one of the guns shoots a blank. No one knows which one. I can't wait for the day they give Hillary her blindfold and last cigarette.

“...the state’s inability to procure lethal injection drugs.”
So now, you get lead poisoning. Brilliant!

I’m pretty sure she’s not a “smoker”.
