There are currently 29 prisoners on Death Row in South Carolina, but there haven’t been any executions since 2011 as the state can’t afford to get their hands on the drugs they need which is kind of a lol when you think about it.

Nothing like taking it back to the primitive with that one.

The proposal is now being considered with a decision due next month. Democratic state senator Brad Hutto is facing the firing squad option, saying the following:

I mean as ridiculous as it is that we’re even having a conversation about this now, he does kind of have a point. Guess this is where we’re at now in Trump’s America in 2019. Fantastic.
