1. We should test accuracy

You know, we wouldn't want them to suffer or anything.

His enthusiasm might dampen a little.

4. +1000

I thought what happened to them was tragic. In this case, I would not only approve, I would cheer it on.

3. He must have watched PBS "The Rise of the Nazis"

Hitlers executions made him jealous.

6. Utah still does this

Gary Gillmore is the one that comes to mind first.

The last time a firing squad was used in the U.S. was in 2010, when Ronnie Lee Gardner was executed in Utah for the 1984 murder of an attorney during a failed courthouse escape.

I'm against capital punishment (mainly because our justice system makes so many mistakes). That said, I'm less against it for people who hurt children.

9. 2000 Americans dying per day of Covid and this is what our leader is focused on?

What is shocking is that this is no longer shocking.
