Sounds real 21st century. NOT!

Oh goody. The republicans are choosing their methods of negotiating with world leaders.

Are we going back into the 1900's? It's bad enough that the GOP wants to go back to the 50's and 60's, but firing squads Really

What the hell? Are we getting closer to a autocracy?

Wow, United States of America. We are so proud.

Barbaric!

Wait until they reinstate public hangings. The south deserves to be the south

Every member of Proud Boys applied.

The republicans keep going backwards

Why the Fuck dontvthe DOJ step in. This is 2021 not 1940 or 50. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Damn !!! Republican politicians have lost their minds,

Is there a reason life without parole is not an option?

I would prefer death by too much ice cream 😉

If people let this happen it means America is doomed.

Break out the guillotine!!...CC

It's probably only a matter of time before they will bring back the confederate flag on top of their capitol, too.

This is just barbaric!!

To kill more innocent Black men? FiringSquad SouthCarolina CapitalPunishment

As republicans run around America spreading Trumps BIG LIE. That the election was stolen from him. They never tell people all of those lawyers & media companies that spread that BIG LIE. Once in court, they are FORCED to make public corrections, apologize and clarifications.

Lol. Let's see who first get it.

America‘s institutional racism government continue to enable these kkk, White supremacist group like Republicans Congress men and women Republican Senators , white supremacy Terrorist whom attacked Capital while media keep them relevant and promote their racist agendas.

Seriously!

What effing century are we in?

Absolutely barbaric!

😳well damn, guess they're gonna bring back stoning folk next...or quartering... or hanging

We should get rid of the death penalty.

C r a z y !

Arn’t they already doing that now at traffic stops for black peoples?

How Christian and humane of them!

Next, it will be death by beheading. America, you are getting further and further away from being a civilized nation. I never in my life dreamed I would witness this fall from grace. This is savagery and it's disgusting.

start with lindsey

They should aim their sights higher.

Republicans: always finding more efficient ways to kill.

Good Lord. This is getting out of hand and super nauseating. I am starting to feel like we are living in the 18th Century. Scarey

Sick

From the party that brought you pro-life!

But Amerikkka will be the first to condemn and persecute any non European country for this type of brutality. But hey, this is nothing new for America. Contradiction is their name.

This is unbelievably barbaric!

The kkk is in position once to cause a revoke amongst the people.

Bet they’ll find plenty of volunteers for those

This is horrible.

It’s sick! WTH is going on

Doing everything they can to preserve the old days and stop growth. Fuck the entire gqp.

What?! Next they’ll be looking into using the guillotine again. That way they don’t have to worry about lethal injection shortages or the cost of bullets. How enlightened we are in the 21st century!? ☹️

Guns what a frickin bad idea.

As long as there is even a remote possibility that an innocent person could be executed for the crimes of another, the death penalty is barbaric. The firing squad is slightly more barbaric, but these people love their guns, so not surprising.

Goodnight nurse..🤬

henrymcmaster My, my, my. How civilized. Y’all.

Sounds like Trump

Let’s just go back to the 60s.

Why?

McMaster is Lundsay’s puppet

Vote McMaster OUT!!!!

Unbelievable. But typical SC

We are progressing backwards here in SC at a record pace. He also canceled federal CoVID unemployment benefits yesterday. Working hard for the people.

What kind of person signs up for firing squad duty ?

You have got to be out of your minds. Going back in time aren't ya!

No...... never!

South Carolina GOPers join China and North Korea in their enjoyment of execution by firing squad. GOPers are becoming more Communist every day.

Holy Fu*k, why don't they just bring back the guillotine while they're at it. Maybe even give the inmate the option, 'What'll it be Johnnie, firing squad or guillotine?' How about do the humane thing and abolish the death penalty?

I think we should have them at polling places in case Republicans try to vote.

assbackwards southcarolina SouthCarolina...going back to the DarkAges

This just can’t be true. How barbaric!
