I really can't believe we are in this place where we still have states not only executing prisoners, but doing so via electrocution or firing squad. I realize it's South Carolina, which, as the old saying goes, is too small to be a country and too big to be an insane asylum, but it is one of 8 that allows for electric chair, and one of four that allows for firing squad.
And it should be noted that Mahoney, who entered a business to rob it, had a gun drawn on him and was shot before he shot back and killed the defender. I realize the specific facts are different and it's a different state, but Rittenhouse got away with murder because he was seen as defending himself from people who were charging him. Here, you have a gun pulled on Mahoney and his killing of the victim is not seen as self defense. I'll let you guess what race Mahoney is.
And before anyone says, "yeah, but Mahoney was committing a crime," so had Rittenhouse by showing up with a gun and pointing it at people prior to being attacked.
But back to the original point, how is it 2022 and states are still electing to kill people by firing squad? Unreal...
