Republican Idaho Gov. Brad Little has signed into law a bill allowing firing squads to execute death row inmates when lethal injection drugs are unavailable, making Idaho the fifth U.S. state to allow the execution method.

The new law, which takes effect in July, will give the Department of Correction up to five days after a death warrant is issued to determine whether lethal injection is available. If not, the department must carry out the execution by firing squad. Little signed the bill on Friday.

The news outlet said that a corrections department spokesperson did not immediately respond to its request for comment Friday evening. Idaho will join Mississippi, Utah, Oklahoma and South Carolina as the states that authorize death by firing squad, according to the Death Penalty Information Center. South Carolina's law is on hold pending the outcome of a legal challenge.

Awesome.

Send trump to try it out

This should scare people .. how uncivilized !

This would save so much money.

More effective and efficient than lethal injection, gas or hanging. 7 bullets to the heart is final. And another salvo in a few seconds if needed. Done.

Good.

Prefer the article more if it said Idaho Governor to face firing squad 👌😎

If it was only to be used on politicians & greedy CEOs I'd be ok with it. If not its a big no returning to the 19th century 👎

For the Republicans I'm quite sure

cool. First customer.

Now that sounds like it might have a deterrent effect! Well done

Do they hose it down afterwards and replace the boards with holes in them?

There is a green solution!

Fairly humane way to off someone

Canada would do well to bring in a similar law. Of course we would need to invoke the notwithstanding clause to protect it from inference by activist judges.

Gary Gilmore gave NIKE their slogan when asked if he had any last words before facing a Utah firing squad he uttered, 'let's do it'.

Disgusting

Fantastic!!! Wish it was here!!! canada cdnpoli

WTF is happening in this world.

👁️ for an 👁️

Barbaric Not In My Name

Awesome. There’s another state that has always had this. This is the best form of execution for those who’ve committed crimes against humanity and TREASON against their country. They should also have a PPV of these executions when they do happen. And they will happen.

Didn't know that reverse evolution was a thing 😳 but the US is showing its possible

Trump should be the first to experience this unprecedented law.

I'm excited for this carbon reduction plan!

Why stop at firing squads? Why not public beheadings? The US is sliding back into the dark ages so far, so quickly.

The USA is like fifty little countries with no Unification!

Moving back a century or 2.

With the cost of electricity increasing, this makes perfect sense.

Barbaric.

Traitors, vaxx depopulationists, pedophiles and evildoers take note.

Fascist USA is the biggest threat to human rights both at home and abroad

Anything for anarchy.

Yet another step back for the US!!!

Will this affect the price of potatoes ?

Why firing squad? Maybe Utah should have done a death penalty road trip to find ‘best’ method…could have visited their buds in Iran, Saudi Arabia, China, Russia…

That's fine. It's only a secondary measure, if the drugs are unavailable. Just goes to show how many people actually read the articles.

BrAvo..let Trudeau test it

Kohberger getting what he deserves!

Cool! That's how I'd want to go! Lot more humane than the lethal injection if you ask me.

The USA is like 52 little individual countries, no unification!

Idaho? Yup, you 'da ho!

ln Canada we just get people vaxxed . This will ensure they dont commit crimes in the future .

Wow....how archaic!!!

Fuckin rights! Maybe this will deter criminals!

Nice! Now do Canada
