State Considers Execution By Firing Squad
The Huffington Post | By Chris Gentilviso
Posted: 01/18/2014 12:54 pm EST
One day after a controversial lethal injection case in Ohio put the death penalty in crosshairs, another set of state lawmakers have proposed legislation that would allow execution by firing squad.
The St. Louis Post Dispatch reported Friday that Missouri's HB 1470 puts that option on the table. State Rep. Paul Fitzwater (R-Potosi) told the paper that he cosponsored the legislation with the victims in mind.
“People look at inmates who will be executed as victims,” Fitzwater said. “But the real victims have no voice because they are gone.”
The Missouri bill arrives alongside that Ohio execution, which saw Dennis McGuire suffer through a 26-minute infusion of chemicals into his body. According to the AP, that was the longest of 53 executions in Ohio since the state reinstated capital punishment in 1999....................>>>>.......................>>>>.................http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2014/01/18/missouri-execution-firing-squad_n_4623654.html

only if they are firing at conservative republicans who will have to 'show their papers'...... |
| ...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS

Would you support the death penalty for bankers or corporate executives who cheat clients, customers or the government out of millions, or even billions, of dollars? That's the question that is raging through China these days as 30 year old multi-millionaire Wu Ying, once one of the richest women in the country, was sentenced to death for swindling $57 million from investors.
While $57 million sounds like chump change compared with the $65 billion that Bernie Madoff stole from investors, the Chinese take both economic crimes and the death penalty quite seriously. Around 4,000 people are executed each year in China, some for economic crimes, and the death penalty has the general support of the public.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/hoyt-hilsman/china-death-penalty_b_1286546.html |
