Laffy

cleared the way for to carry out its first execution by firing squad in decades - Bloomberg

@GottaLaff this is outrageous. Where the hell are we living in: Iraq?

@rlstone4dems @GottaLaff

The most twisted part, is it was apparently his choice, and he chose it because the other two options (lethal injection and electric chair) *are even more barbaricly administered* in the state.

When being shot to death is seen as the *most humane way* to be killed by the state, you've failed as a state.

@MorganV @rlstone4dems @GottaLaff

Sadly, it's accurate. The alternatives to death by firing squad are asphyxiation with nitrogen gas; badly administered poisons, administered by clerks: and the electric chair, if they apply the gear and get the voltage right. It's really painful.

Being shot is better, if the caliber and aim are right, there are enough shooters, and the officer commanding has the balls to deliver the coup de grace. But, yeah, the choices are state failures.

@GottaLaff Well, look on the bright side: we not yet at axe men…yet! /s 😬

@GottaLaff

Guessing it will be public, at least via streaming. . .appeals to pathetic humans who also watched witch burnings.

Those are our US MAGA folk.

The cruelty is the point. 😔

@GottaLaff
I just can't like this. It is such a disgusting headline

@ACNelson We need a "hate the news" button
