Republican Gov. Brad Little signed a bill allowing execution by firing squad, making Idaho the latest state to turn to older methods of capital punishment amid a nationwide shortage of lethal-injection drugs.

Pro life is murdering of innocent babies, not death penalty to heartless murderers, rapists or terrorists.

Why Republicans so interested in 'executions'?! Can anyone answer that question?! What happened to 'thou shall not kill'!!!!

If we're going to have a death penalty firing squad is better than lethal injection. It's quick and honest and if something goes wrong, you can use a pistol to correct it immediately.

americans proving once again how savage they are

When are we going to bring back Honey & Milk executions?

Imagine the pain and suffering involved in this method of torture! It is inhumane like all the other ways the country executes its people! None of us has the right to take a human life.

Gunshot to the head is unironically the least painful execution method

Possibility: Lethal injection is more painful: I have not validated the plausibility of this at all.

That would be a perfect method of execution for someone who committed treason and instigated an insurrection.

Huh.....where's all those pesky grains of fentanyl when ya need em hmmmmm?

It’s the death penalty, not a theme park

Excellent move!! all the states should have execution by firing squad, it cost less than a dollar for the bullets. I would volunteer to be a shooter! No more sitting in jail at the expense of the taxpayer waiting for execution.

Just use the guillotine

I like it.

Lethal injection is far less humane and efficient than firing squad

Nice to get the option to go out with a bang

Shot, beheaded, or hanged (neck break not choke) are preferable to lethal injection anyway.

Don't murder, rape, or spy on the country for our advisories. Then you won't be a candidate.

It would not matter to those who want no accountability for the worst murderers what form of capital punishment was administered. Death by firing squad is instantaneous.

This isn't an execution. It's just a late-stage abortion.

I'm kind of surprised they didn't vote for the guillotine. Guaranteed instant death and it puts on the show that they seem to want.

Seems the most humane form of lethal execution.

Wow

death worshipping freaks

While they simply can use hanging and electrochute

So much for being 'Pro Life.' Christians are the phoniest, most ridiculous creatures on Earth.

I would choose the guillotine. Fast and painless. More humane than other options overall.

Go to the southern border...Obviously, you can get all the lethal fentanyl you may need

based

Life incarceration would be a better option.

I prefer beheading via guillotine, but this is an improvement over lethal injection, which is expensive and lacking in deterrence.

A squad is more than 1 shooter and the cost of bullets compared to cost of drugs is more affordable. Now I know ppl are going to attack me but some ppl will pay to be part of the squad, a win win for the state.

Banning books and art, limiting freedom of speech platforms, firing squads, govt control of reproductive rights, govt control of your child's education ...China ... NO, America!

But what about prolife?

There isn’t a shortage, the companies refuse to sell it.

Vote out the right wing Untrustworthy and unfit to govern

What they need is all in one electric chair(w/noose around the prisoners neck as when hole underneath chair opens up floor below will drop/hang)w/robot assisted lethal injection w/gas chamber w/little remote control(firing squad)car(w/gun&camera attached)w/not too bloodymessiah

they need to stop murdering people

fantastic news. On ther other hand it's quite ironic that pharma companies are boycotting these activities, seen the countless side effects their products can cause.

blueresist22 GOPs next step...

Hiding/cooking testimony, threats for false imprisonment, prosecutorial agenda, faking like it’s a working system and it can’t be seen/is non transparent, guided/restricted testimonies, hidden jury instructions, no death penalty is legal, only jail is allowed by the constitution

In the 1800s when Mormon pioneers came to Utah and Idaho, some were actually slaves not pioneers, they had firing squads for wives who tried to leave, or Native Americans when the federal government found out it stopped, now they are just going back to the state roots.

I think this is a whole lot more humane

Based.

Fantastic.

Pro life!

Republicans will use any excuse to pull that gun out, won't they?

Cuz Duck Hunt doesn’t work on the flat panel TVs.

I think they should allow prisoners to request a duel with the governor.

The craven, vile Republican politicians passing these inhumane laws should be made to pull the trigger while facing the human being they're gunning down in cold blood... IdahoExecutions

No!!! It’s going to be gruesome entertainment for the S&M crowd. It makes me think of the old movies and nasty smirks of the medieval crowds cheering at hangings and the guillotined heads dropping to the ground. This is too low for USA to go. GovLittle & those endorse are sick!

Damn Utah and Idaho gettin’ it right!

Based

Pro-life party.

johngizzi Good idea

This is why we flyover states like Idaho.

Just in time

Is this suppose to be tough on crime BS ?

Why don't they use the same drugs that are killing people on the street?

Why are westerners so anti death penalty 🤨 The comments here are ridiculous ! So it’s ok to bomb foreigners and sell weapons overseas but you draw the line at executing serial killers and mass shooters?

this alone should make liberals turn to conservative

Does the Governor thinks this makes up for the closed labor/delivery & women having to drive 46 miles but firing squads…

Do not Hire Marines that Qualified as Expert with the Rifle! Only hire Marksman! Make them suffer a Tad!

Makes sense, quick, painless, and 100% effective.

a 44 cal bullet is only 3bucks. get a box of them 25 in a box...25 executions...how many does idaho have every year? could be a decade or more of executions.

Well they do live their guns. Do they get to use AR15s? They love those. Or is that considered too cruel?

Just take some confiscated fentanyl and shoot them up with that stuff

Here's to all the pro life Christians who support the death penalty and marrying children.

WTF

Wait dont we have like a shitton of Fentanyl.. Lets just use that.. easy, cheap and damn efficient..

Barbaric.

Much more humane!

if being shot is not cruel and unusual punishment, I do not know what is.

Gross.

Good

Idaho is full of white male cristo fascistsOf course they would want the firing squad they would probably volunteer to shoot the inmate

Wait! What? I thought lead was a lethal injection.

Republicans are the pro life party!

Cheap, effective, absolutely clear what’s happening. Too many “humane” methods aren’t.

Republicans are bloodthirsty pedophiles

For being pro life, this is a questionable decision 🤔

Or you could just not execute people.

I don’t understand. Isn’t fentanyl readily accessible and aren’t fentanyl overdoses increasingly common? Give them the drug of apparent choice.

I’m against capital punishment, but why don’t they just use fentanyl?

Plenty of Chinese fentanyl knocking around no?

Let's talk about the 'shortage' of lethal drugs. Last I read, drug makers banned the use for killing people.

Let's have them test it on Kohberger.

Pro life hypocrites at work

Never going to Idaho. Giving up their chunky potatos too.

It was Nebraska not Nevada who murdered Carey Dean Moore. After PeteRicketts illegally obtained drugs from India.

Not surprising that GunCulture is bringing back firing squads.

When passing into Idaho from Oregon or Washington, make sure to set your clocks back 170 years. If you are a minority of any kind, your presence in the Land of Potato People will put your life and wellbeing at risk! 🤮👎🏼

No shortage of bullets.

Idaho is gross

Why do republicans feel running in reverse is a sign of progress? We’ve learned so much and have come so far… for what?

Cheaper

How about by a potato peeler and then let them get infections over and over.

They're really going all out to get rid of 'leftists.' 🤣

With rock in the center square is the next one or is hanging or maybe a guillotine? Just to make it interesting, right? If it goes public can people bring popcorn? FUCKING REPUBLICANS !

WOE: Not criticizing but this is definitely a page turned back in history (UT) - see the correlation between what happens when greed takes the forefront - not much different from a small MS town using this for abandoned stray overcrowding - human v strays.

Once you see it

Capital punishment is the tool of barbarians. I will never understand why would sane people give the government the power to take away your life.

Disgusting.

Fuckin hell… this is why the rest of us see the US as our Florida.

Awful

In view of all the innocent people sitting in jail for decades,any sentence above 10 years, needs 2 years of intense scrutiny. No Death Penalty and automatic revision of all data available , old and new, presented or not in Court.

Supremely based.

Geeeeee, why not fentanyl! No shortage there!!!

Beheading. Why not beheading? So selective in their brutal means of dispatching unwanted people.

Just give them a couple of grams fentanyl. I hear it's easy to obtain.

Firing squads are more humane than lethal injection.

i still think the victims families should get to choose method of death for the like

look_gc

High velocity lead poisoning is kind of like a lethal injection.

Guess they're using all those chemicals for the boosters

Utah 2010, a death row inmate chose firing squad saying “It’s so much easier ... and there’s no mistakes.” An eyewitness said that he died “silently and horribly” when the shooters, 15 feet away, missed his heart and hit him in the hip and abdomen.

Well, it's a better way to go.

Can't wait until they legalize slavery again! Might as well roll that clock all the way back! /s

👍🏽👍🏽

Idaho time ago hanged people, and they would again except the 6Jan cult took it to DC

Pro life… unless we want revenge…

watch the crime go down. there wont be any appeals either

How many have died of fentanyl overdose now?

And there off!! Rounding the curve, Little passes Huckabee - taking the lead on transporting GOP states back to the 1600's. DeSantis & Abbott are now tied in 3rd position -- but don't worry folks - this horsesh*t race is far from being over.

Yikes!! Are we still doing that?! Oh, it’s Ida-oh-no. I get it then. Fire away men!

Bencjacobs Hope they sell tickets to pay for the ammo.

anyway to eliminate evil is good

I disagree with this because an innocent person could end up being killed by firing squad before evidence moves him/her innocent

We already have that; it's called 'police.'

Always the “pro-life” states…

Abolish the death penalty

Why not use exsanguination? It's cheap, painless, 100% effective, and requires minimal tools and training. Basically, the person just falls asleep and never wakes up. Why do they have to resort to barbaric methods when exsanguination is so clearly a more humane option?

Good

A remote controlled firing squad like a drone controlled from the governors mansion. Governor Little should push the button to fire the guns. That way no corrections employee has to live with the burden of taking a human life. Better yet, abolish the death penalty.

As long as we are 100% sure we know the accused is guilty and it’s for the appropriate crime, why would anyone object to it

Idaho - outlawing abortion, closing hospitals, losing doctors but ok death by firing squad. ʍɐɥǝǝʎ

Reprehensible.

I see ChatGPT has been resurrecting old memes...

In a “civilised country” as well. 🤦🏻‍♂️

Pro-life, right?

Republicans are so bloodthirsty. It’s creepy.

Fentanyl? Lethal enough? You just go out on a high. I don’t understand why this isn’t an idea. I’m in recovery so I’m not trying to be cruel. Just saying. Any feedback?

The mormon execution method is back.

GOV: Gee, how can we kill people? STAFF: Hey, fentanyl is a big problem. GOV: Don't bother me now, gotta find a way. STAFF: Another fentanyl OD. GOV: Quiet, I'm thinking! STAFF: Another 3 ODs, sir. GOV: I said ... hey, I have it! GUNS!

While left fights to kill babies, the right is killing killers

Just get rid of capital punishment

Bencjacobs Why not just make them touch fentanyl

Wow! Well there is a plethora of these biodegradable coffins stacking up. And if you look at storage facilities that hold bodies and morticians in demand and the madness going on in the world? says by 2025 the US population is gonna be 100M? Guillotines?

1st world country they said.

A little more humane than death by Cher.

A locked on mask of chloroform and nitrogen would be a reasonable execution method -- if the ultimate punishment must be invoked.

Sick 😣

Ammunition is something that this brutal world will never run out of. Sadly.

There is no shortage of lethal injection drugs. They're available every day in operating rooms all across the country. And it's not like we're using capital punishment on the daily. Come on

Tehy also put a ban on free tampons in public school bathrooms. Idaho keeps trying to outdo Tennessee.

😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

Bryan Kohlberger will put it to good use

GOP is pro life

Another law brought to you by the “pro life” party

It really feels like republicans ran out of things to do

Crazy and evil

Capital punishment is about revenge, not justice.

😱
