#SouthCarolina #Execution #DeathRow
What’s next Rope in tree….oh I forgot they already do that there.
@Censorship Is real death penalty for insurrectionists. Old school. That’s my point, TR45H.
@Sarah F 4.0 oh so death penalty just for one party ?
Very authoritarian Hitler of you.
You only want justice when it’s the opposing political party.
Very two faced of you.
@Sarah F 4.0 so I guess it’s ok to burn loot and destroy innocent people’s businesses and innocent lives that had nothing to do with anything if you don’t get your way. Or the verdict you want ?
That’s ok to destroy innocent people’s lives ?
So all that equality you idiots scream. Isn’t what you really want. You want authoritarian fascism.
Justice for thee but me. That’s what you are saying
@Censorship Is real <--2 week old tRoll account doesn't know the difference of the people protesting police oppression VS overthrowing the Govt....apples to oranges.
cool just like north korea doesn’t it make you proud to be an american
Blm better clear out of South Carolina 😤
@Brian Jones,
Or what, Brian?
Geeez…this is embarrassing and not surprising!
OMG what has happened to my country; we’re going backwards not forward.
@Censorship Is real
MY comments made NO reference to trump. He is completely irrelevant.
@PK P so your saying that this administration isn’t blaming Trump for the border crisis ?
They aren’t blaming Trump for the economy ?
Hahahaha. Yeah ok.
@Censorship Is real Republicans are still crying about Hillary and Obama. Over a decade and counting. Remember when some moron said Mexico would pay!
You can thank Donald Trump for that.
@V wow Obama been out of office for a decade ?
It only seems like four years. Time fly’s
They’d probably like to just line up all 32 at once and git ER dun!👀🤦♀️🤬
@August Blue just saying those who take a life unjustly forfeit their own
@Nesquik -There’s a difference between justice and revenge and killing someone for killing someone has to be one of the dumbest mindsets I’ve seen in my life time. But besides that fact, have you ever looked up how many people were executed that were innocent simply because other people had that same mindset?
If you’re gonna do it… do it right!
@Rebellc -Man, I hope they start with the insurrectionists then. And televise it too!!!
@August Blue innocent or not, if I was to spend life in jail, I’d want to be executed. Spare me your philosophy lessons cause by the time they’re proven innocent they’re already old and wont be able to make a living.
That’s reassuring.
Holy Jesus Christ
Those will be the last words spoken by the prisoner before he is shot.
Looks like the great leap backwards is going as planned for the republican party.
This state is filled with nothing but shame in leadership.
You forgot evilness !
They shot traitors don’t they Oh Lady Linsey
Rather than putting Law Enforcement or other public servants in the position of having to shoot people, they should make the Governor and all the Lawmakers be in the firing squad and if they want people murdered then they should do it
Is this another one of their “Christian Values”
Have you even read the bible?????
They claim Christian for political reasons but they are not Christians and their attitudes are just like the Pharisees.
@Jeanne Murray Yes how about you Jeanne?
@Josh K. -EXACTLY!!!!!!
@Jeanne Murray The “New Republican Christianity” does not follow the Bible.
Dafuq??
Just scrolled down and read this after having commented EXACTLY the same thing.
If only this could be applied solely to January 6th insurrectionists.
Let this apply solely to January 6th insurrectionists.
Nah, let’s apply it to criminals only
I’m from south carolina and Henry McMaster is a protocol for the trumpty.he doesn’t have a mind of his own.
Judging by the level of the politicians they elect, the average IQ levels of voters in the southern states has to be below zero.
Unbelievable!
Aaaaaaaaaand cue the “THAT’S NOT WHAT WE SAID, WHAT WE MEANT WAS” speech.
I thought we were trying to get rid of the death penalty? Guess they gotta take advantage of the fact they can legally use guns.
Republikkkans
