How South Carolina's execution of a condemned killer by firing squad will unfold

[rto]

When a South Carolina man who killed his ex-girlfriend’s parents with a baseball bat steps into the death row chamber Friday night, it won’t be lethal injection or electrocution that ends his life.

It will be three people holding rifles about 15 feet (4.6 meters) away who will complete his punishment in what will be the United States’ first firing squad execution in 15 years.

Some 46 prisoners have been executed by lethal injection and electrocution in South Carolina since 1985. Brad Sigmon’s execution will be the first by firing squad. Just three inmates — in Utah in 1977, 1996 and 2010 — have faced a firing squad in the U.S. since the death penalty was reinstated in 1976.

A baseball bat execution would be fitting for his crimes. Maybe the bullet/s will be off by a few inches so that asshole can suffer some.

It's cheaper than gas or electric, but shooters must be qualified to kill someone on cold blood. Who are they going to use, gangsters from the hood?

Hook the rifles up and let AI do it. It's just a matter of time before AI tries to take us out, might as well get the ball rolling.

I'm sure there's no shortage of volunteers.

Anyone have a line on tickets for this event? The scalpers are going to be making a killing. No pun intended.
They really should give the shooters machine guns and splash the dog piss out of this jerk..

[Pogo]

They should use a shotgun with bird shot.

Remote-controlled GE Mini-Gun would turn the scumbag into pink confetti. Then sweep remains into the nearest sewer grate.

The trigger pullers will be told that only one rifle has a live round and that the other two rifles are loaded with blanks. The rifles are pre aimed and heavily secured. I doubt that the trigger pullers will even see the targeted. The SOP's for this are long established. Nothing new here...move along...nothing to see...

Gary Gilmore in Utah said lets do it, or something to that extent. IIRC he was the one that requested it too.

Who the hell cleans up the mess? O.K. what if this guy has to pee or something and gets up before they shoot do they get extra ammo? I wonder if the weapons have bayonets in case they miss?

[aviator]

is he dead yet?

Just leave the guy alone in a room with Hillary Clinton for a few minutes. Nature will take it's course.
