The administration of United States President Donald Trump has announced plans to expand the use of the federal death penalty, including through the deployment of firing squads.
The announcement on Friday was part of a policy document issued by the Department of Justice, setting out the legal argument for various methods of execution.
It touted steps for “restoring and strengthening” the death penalty as integral to the pursuit of justice.
“The Department of Justice acted to restore its solemn duty to seek, obtain, and implement lawful capital sentences — clearing the way for the Department to carry out executions once death-sentenced inmates have exhausted their appeals,” the Justice Department said in a news release.
In a two tiered justice system where the rich have no accountability I can’t see this being problematic at all. America is a shit hole country now.
Had been for quite awhile now, longer than we’ve been able to see it.
is this where I post that always has been meme?
And everyone on this side of the pond said I’m overreacting by calling trumps immigrant detention centers “concentration camps”, but here we are. Even the Nazis didn’t start as fast with their genocide as the orange turd seems to try.
Will they start with child rapists?!
Nope just immigrants
That would be friendly fire.
They can add that label to the prisoners, sure
Add Russian agents to the list.
He means Death Squads. Every Republican accusation was an admission of guilt.
Again I ask.
Does anyone really think those camps are only for immigrants, or criminals?
Bullshit. They’re for us.
The death penalty is anathema to civilised society.
Death penalty is stupid because now ppl who Commit a crime will just all in.
Death for being a rally? Guess ill just commit to politicians instead
Death for aborting rapist baby. Guess ill kill the rapist and maybe a few morw while im at it.
Etc etc
Shooting the pedos? Let’s start there.
We can start with his administration. Most of them have committed crimes punishable by death.
He wants to watch more videos of executions.
Let’s start with them.
Always a fucking day he comes up with an awful idea.
How delusional are you to think that Trump is the one coming up with this? The Heritage Foundation folks are the ones running the agenda.
Don’t let the trump folk know about being “drawn and quartered”. Those fuckers will jump on that like white on rice. Can you say “trump/epstein” files?
Or the Blood Eagle execution the Vikings used to do, yikes 😳
Blood eagles were only mentioned by Christian skalds hundreds of years after the viking age. There is zero contemporary historical evidence that vikings ever practiced that form of execution.
Would anybody be interested in a party at The White House on July 4th? BYOF(Bring Your Own Fireworks).
Tbh if I was on death row, I think I’d prefer firing squad to some drug cocktail
Smart choice. Lethal injection has a terrible history in reliably killing someone without issues. A firing squad is significantly more humane, and people on death row will generally opt for it if given the choice.
However, it’s far less common today because society doesn’t like firing squads; everything about them feels too barbaric.
Hmmm I wonder why that is… Surely it couldn’t be because capital punishment itself has no place in civilized society, right?
