    South Carolina is always a quiet dark horse in the race for Most Barbaric State.

    They elected Strom Thurmond consistently for nearly forty years after he performed the longest filibuster in history against the 1964 Civil Rights Act. The one that dared to say “no segregation in schools.”

      IDK firing squad probably has a better chance of an instant kill than lethal injection or nitrogen gas chambers. This would probably be the way I would choose if I had to.

        The entire thing is draconian.

        Let’s hang them next in front of an audience! That’s quick too if it’s done right.

        This is why downvotes don’t bother me here. People who support execution are dumb as fuck.

          I don’t support the death penalty ever it’s just not worth it given the issues with our system and the cost.

          I’m just saying if I had to be executed my choice is firing squad.
