Execution by Firing Squad - Friday in South Carolina.

[mcmurtry66]

I just think they should let the family’s desires be considered relative to sentencing. Maybe this already happens. I don’t know.

I will add that one of our dear friends was texting about some frat fcks giving girls at iu roofies. If my daughter got roofied the justice system would have to be punitive for me to not have a brick find that head on an unexpected day.

What happened in the instant case is unfathomable

Glad the AP could slip in the comparison to Nazi Germany

Death in a hail of bullets has been used to punish mutinies and desertion in armies, as frontier justice in America’s Old West and as a tool of terror and political repression in the former Soviet Union and Nazi Germany.

Does that really bother you? That was a pretty straightforward, factual article. You think we're going to turn gay, I mean progressive, just for reading it?

The idea that they put a confessed murderer choosing a firing squad in the same realm as Nazi's lining people up next to an open trench does bother me. It shows that the reporting usually won't be neutral.

No idea what turning gay has to do with it.

Just ignore those things. It’s really not very hard. I’m not saying this applies to you but many Republicans seem to be frightened of the media because of their bias, real or not. Filter it out.

I struggle to ignore bullshit that's supposed to be journalism. Much easier to just scroll past some of the BS posted here.

Violent and sudden. What a firing squad execution looked like through my eyes

An Associated Press journalist served as media eyewitness to the execution of Brad Sigmon by firing squad Friday in South Carolina.

My view is our system and concept of justice is barbaric. I don’t believe people are basically evil. To the contrary. As a society, our problem is we don’t know how to actually rehabilitate people who have degenerated from their better self. So we commit atrocities and coop criminals up like caged animals because of our primitive lack of a science of rehabilitation.

Can't get my wife to turn off the light when she leaves a room. Probably much harder to get a murderer or serial killer to change.

Plus punishment is supposed to act as a deterrent to others.

It isn't a perfect system but some are lost causes.
