  • South Carolina Carries Out 'Horrifying and Violent' Firing Squad Execution of Brad Sigmon

    Jump

  • You're right, I've since read the article and they aimed for the heart. Death was pronounced within 3 minutes of the shots. But I don't think this particular execution used the "random bullet and 2 blanks" method, or at least that's not a detail mentioned in the article:

    "He chose the firing squad knowing that three bullets would shatter his bones and destroy his heart," said King. "But that was the only choice he had, after the state's three executions by lethal injection inflicted prolonged and potentially torturous deaths on men he loved like brothers."

  • It's literally sat on a seat at a table, with the food pushed to the edge toward them! If they're not allowed to touch the food, I'd argue they're being teased by the person, which is wrong.

  • Defensive... If someone asks you for advice, and says they have doubts about the answer they received from a Magic 8-Ball, how would you feel?

  • No one is arguing it's perfect or "painless", but in light of high-profile botched executions where the convict is unintentionally(?) tortured for hours before they died it seems to be the better option.

    Multiple people targeting your brain and heart... It will be worse to watch and you might cause psychological damage to anyone watching or taking part... but at least you won't suffer for long.

    EDIT:

    and stomach

    As I mentioned in another comment, they aim for the heart, from 15 feet (4.5 meters) away. And there's usually at least 3 shooters, so even if multiple people are abysmally bad marksmen, no one's dying slowly from a gut shot...

  • Did you happen to notice that GWB is not currently president or dictator? Like, yeah he was shitty, but he didn't participate in a violent attack on the nation's capitol. He didn't illegally try to get other states to "find him votes". He didn't participate in a fake elector scheme. He didn't say the 1st Amendment wasn't legal anymore. He didn't consider imposing martial law...
