Brad Sigmon was pronounced dead at 6:08 p.m. Friday after being shot by three prison employee volunteers with rifles. He is the first South Carolina prisoner to be executed by bullets.

    Read enough about lethal injection and I might take the bullets too. I mean given a choice.

    Crazy to read it 2025 regardless.

    Found this while reading “In reference to this issue, Jay Chapman, the creator of the American method, said, “It never occurred to me when we set this up that we’d have complete idiots administering the drugs””

    Honestly… Im against the death penalty, but if you decide to go that way as a country just be honest with yourself and allow death by firing squad.

      I was just about to say the same thing. I think a lot of things in society would be different if we were actually honest and actually saw the real state of things. Firing squad is humane (if you have to do the non-humane thing of killing someone in the first place) and honest.

      First off, I am not a vegetarian or a vegan, but I believe we all should see and know where our meat, eggs and dairy comes from, and exactly how it is produced. I believe we would either improve the lives of those animals a lot, or reduce the consumption of animal based food.
