I didn't even know this was still a thing. https://people.com/man-executed-by-firing-squad-for-first-time-in-us-since-2010-shared-final-plea-11693513
I think once Trump gets word of this, he's going to make this the default death penalty method, on live TV. |
Probably the most humane method, to be honest. |
Pretty pathetic really. What a backward state, not that we didn’t know that. I wonder if they do the thing where some shooters fire blanks. |
The death penalty is completely barbaric. |
The comment section of that article is eye-opening. I guess people are really on board with the government having the discretion to be barbaric. |
What’s barbaric about putting to death someone who killed two innocent people? He chose his own method of execution. |
Stop barbarism. Don't murder people, and you won't be the recipient of barbarism. Not difficult to obey laws and be a decent human being. |
Because we are better than a murder. The fact that you ask this tell me there is something seriously wrong with you. |
And backward. We’re the only developed country that still has the death penalty. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capital_punishment_by_country |
Speaking as someone who had a family member murdered, if it would bring back my brother, fine, but. It doesn't. Life in prison without the possibility of parole is a far worse punishment. |
The prisoner chose this. |
Not the injection? |
Plus, it doesn't seem to be much of a deterrence. |
Who cares honestly. This guy beat his In-laws parents to death with baseball bat. I don’t particularly care if this persons death painful barbaric. They should have thought about that before they beat two peoplwto death with a baseball bat. Dems really need to just be quiet about this one. Most Americans are supportive of the death penalty for murderers. Don't die on a hill over fringe issues that imapct very few people, but alienate large numbers of voters. |
Then keep murderers in prison for life, but you probably think that's not fair either. |
