South Carolina's law is on hold pending a legal challenge, but Idaho's bill passed through its state legislature without issue earlier this week and was signed by Republican governor Brad Little.
Mr Little said:"While I am signing this bill, it is important to point out that fulfilling justice can and must be done by minimising stress on corrections personnel. "For the people on death row, a jury convicted them of their crimes, and they were lawfully sentenced to death." But senator Dan Foreman, also a Republican, called firing-squad executions"beneath the dignity of the state".And the state's prisons department director, Jeff Tewalt, said he would be reluctant to ask workers to participate.
Honey, wake up! A new version of dystopia just dropped!
Rifle rounds seem more appropriate as punishment as opposed to just going sleepy sleep anyway.
Makes sense, quick easy and cheap. Can’t we bring the death penalty back here to the uk?Lots of rapists, pedos, killers and terrorists around that don’t need to be that I really resent paying for.
Please say this isn’t true barbaric
Murder is murder god won’t forgive any of them all are evil beyond comprehension
Idaho is racing against Texas and Florida to be the worst place in the US. I suggest the Dems write a bill banning executions and charge anyone involved in aiding an execution be charged with murder.
Quick and easy.
lol
Disturbing.
Whatever crime they commit, I just can't help but feel for their family members who would watch something like this. Let alone those staff members who have to pull the trigger. This sounds horrific.
I'd prefer that. Lethal injection would take longer and more pain
Jeezus wept 🤬
So you get someone to shot someone being shot because they shot someone 🤔
Backward country
Assuming guns are available...
So Idaho is in, on firing squads & out, on tampons ... they're bloody crazy eh ..
Great idea….
lead injection at 3250 fps?
Cheap and cheerful
This is about the Taliban Oh wait, it's about a republican led US state !!
Should do a PPV live stream. Get some serious numbers
Let the family deal justice ⚖️
I think I would prefer that anyway tbh, surely over a bit quicker? Double tap to the back of the nodge….
schoudshady Just give Pfizer a call and save the bullets. Let them put their surplus covid vaccines to good use for once.
Shortage of lethal injection, just give ‘em the vaccine 💉 Sorted.
death by spud gun ?
Good
Fire up old sparky
The USA is turning into the country that bombed their totemic twin towers.
‘Let’ 😂
Or just not have the death penalty. It's 2023 after all.
American dream...
No lethal injections ? Go to any street corner in any city and grab a bag of fentanyl it’s probably cheaper
👍
Wow! How generous!
Don’t really see the problem with this
incredible headline
I'm guessing you've missed the biggest scoop in this country today .. Watch.. ByDonkeys
