    Default Which way to go.

    Fried or Shot, I’m thinking firing squad.

    South Carolina House adds firing squad to execution methods

    The South Carolina House has voted to add the firing squad to the state's execution methods amid a lack of lethal-injection drugs

    ABC News
    By JEFFREY COLLINS Associated Press

    May 5, 2021, 6:36 PM

    COLUMBIA, S.C. -- The South Carolina House voted Wednesday to add a firing squad to the state's execution methods amid a lack of lethal-injection drugs — a measure meant to jump-start executions in a state that once had one of the busiest death chambers in the nation.

    The bill, approved by a 66-43 vote, will require condemned inmates to choose either being shot or electrocuted if lethal injection drugs aren't available. The state is one of only nine to still use the electric chair and will become only the fourth to allow a firing squad.

    South Carolina last executed a death row inmate 10 years ago Thursday.

    No doubt or volunteers. I can see it now, disability and ptsd for state employees forced to be on firing squad. This should be carried out by volunteers and victims. I’ll be glad to participate.

    Hanging is more efficient than firing squad, if done correctly (read: the British long drop method)
