Instead of a firing squad, a bolt gun would be easier.

If you’re a Costco Member, you can inflate your Tires with Nitrogen for free.

Throw the guy in a Pota Potty and drive it over to Costco. When the deed is done, buy one of their bargain Caskets.

On top of that, there is a 2% Cash Rebate if you use your Citibank Costco Visa Card.

Win, win, win...

Its worth a try. Doubt if they would pay though.

>>SC should hang them instead.<<

Publicly, and the sooner the better.

Drug companies won’t sell the state the chemicals, fearing legal challenges and bad publicity, said state Sen. Greg Hembree, R-Horry, a supporter of the electrocution proposal.

The drug companies would happily provide the drugs if they were for abortions. Just tell them that the drugs are to fulfill a "rain check" for an abortion. You will surely get the drugs for free!

Nitrogen asphyxiation.

Painless and works every time.

I’d rather they get one appeal and then pull the switch. The sooner the better!

People forget stuff over time, and my sense of it is that the death penalty looses its deterrent factor if too much time elapses between the evil deed and snuffing the evil doer!

Personally, HANGING is the preferred method. = QUICK, CLEAN & if done by the proper method,it ALWAYS works.

FIRING SQUAD, as practiced by Utah, works well, too.

How are the pre-born infants to be “euthanized” (put to death) in NYSate IF they make it past the birth canal?

USE the same method on killers ...

Are there no Chemists in South Carolina? Are there no chemistry labs? Guess not. Lead is cheap. Properly applied the prisoner wouldn’t know what hit him.

Border patrol just confiscated enough fentanyl to kill millions. Use that.

I have actually heard of liberals opposed to nitrogen asphyxiation on the grounds that it is so painless, so easy, and so simple that it might increase utilization of the death penalty. Many liberals want the death penalty to be cruel and barbaric so that it is easier to oppose.

There is no one left alive who knows how to do it properly. It’s been historically known to go bad if not done correctly

It was a science and it is documented

The modern method of judicial hanging is called the long drop. This is the method that Iraqi officials used to execute Saddam Hussein. In the long drop, those planning the execution calculate the drop distance required to break the subject's neck based on his or her weight, height and build. They typically aim to get the body moving quickly enough after the trap door opens to produce between 1,000 and 1,250 foot-pounds of torque on the neck when the noose jerks tight. This distance can be anywhere from 5 to 9 feet (1.5 to 2.7 meters). With the knot of the noose placed at the left side of the subject's neck, under the jaw, the jolt to the neck at the end of the drop is enough to break or dislocate a neck bone called the axis, which in turn should sever the spinal cord. In some cases, the hangman jerks up on the rope at the precise moment when the drop is ending in order to facilitate the breakage.

...the bill is an attempt to address the S.C. Corrections Department’s inability to carry out executions because it does not have the chemicals needed for lethal injections. Drug companies won’t sell the state the chemicals, fearing legal challenges and bad publicity...
Maybe the drug companies could promise that all lethal injections would be carried out by transgendered jihadists...

The really important question in these death row discussions is “why does it take so long to execute these people?”

My question as well. Many of these killers live longer on Death Row that their victims lived on Planet Earth.

I can beleive they would try to use reverse logic like that.

We’re down there all the time here recently and used to live in Southport, NC. So it’s all pretty familiar. The good and the bad (tourist traffic).. d;^)
