Idaho joins some of America's reddest states in effort to revive execution by firing squad. (via MaddowBlog)

For proponents of capital punishment, the scarcity of execution drugs has become a problem. Pharmaceutical companies generally want their medications to be used to save lives, not deliberately kill people, so they’ve taken steps to prevent state officials from using their products in state-sanctioned lethal injections.

The AP, citing information from the Death Penalty Information Center, added that four other red states — Mississippi, Utah, Oklahoma, and South Carolina — also have laws allowing firing squads if other execution methods are unavailable, though South Carolina’s law is currently on hold until ongoing litigation is resolved.

The underlying idea was to make the killing of human beings less gruesome and more sterile, less violent and more peaceful. Proponents of the executions could take some solace in this evolution, as if the process of making the killings less ghastly somehow added a degree of legitimacy to the larger endeavor.

Barbarism

Dem left so concerned over a few a few hardened criminals but not over millions of innocent unborn slaughtered for callous selfish reasons.

hanging is cheaper...

Bullets are cheaper than lethal injection.

It's my personal views for american people's & Democrats & Republican that if you are not stopped sail gun&failed then please ban gun bullet & allow people's buy rubber bullet or may be this solution is best for all. Thanks

MaddowBlog They probally going to use 'AR-15's' for the executions. What is the GOP's facination with people being killed by guns. How will they choose the firing squad, and who wants that Assignment

MaddowBlog JFC!!

MaddowBlog NeXT concentration camps

MaddowBlog Because we can’t just kill people. We must kill them in the cruelest way possible.

MaddowBlog What happened to pro life

MaddowBlog Mighty “Christian” of them. 😔 Since Jesus was put to death by the state, how can ANY of you support this? It makes no logical or emotional or religious sense to back this. And especially at this time of year…

MaddowBlog As they found out in Utah, the kind of people who would sign up to perform the excution ... were inclined to shoot to wound, making the execution protracted.

MaddowBlog The death penalty in any form is disgusting. Making it clinical was even more disgusting, but now to return to firing squads is a good indication how republicans relish the thought of violent retribution.

MaddowBlog Explain for the death penalty yet against abortion Hysteria hypocrisy

MaddowBlog Fentanyl is free don't waste bullets

MaddowBlog What ever is cheapest!

MaddowBlog It saves money for the taxpayer. Drowning em is even less expensive.

MaddowBlog Of course. So pro-life of them. Unbelievable.
