Florida leads the pack with an out-of-this-world 17 state-sanctioned murders. South Carolina has 5, Texas has 5, Alabama has 4, Arizona has 2, Oklahoma has 2, Mississippe has 2, Missouri has 1, Louisiana has 1, Indiana has 1, Tennessee has 1, and the clock just keeps ticking down to the 44. Florida has more already scheduled for this year. Three methods have been used: Lethal Injection, Gas (nitrogen hypoxia), and Firing Squad.

JUST A REMINDER, FOLKS…….

DOG DAYS OF SUMMER

There are over 2,200 prisoners on death row in the United States.  Between the 1st of January and today, there have been 44 executions carried out in NINE different jurisdictions using three different methods.

We saw the first deaths by firing squad in South Carolina, the first death by nitrogen gas in Louisiana, and finally a return to lethal injections in Arizona, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Mississippi, Indiana and Florida, Missouri. Towards the end of this week, it began to seem as though death was on the menu throughout the South, and at a reduced rate they were flying off the shelf so quickly.

Help us to help them. Please. Your community is counting on you, and they are too..and as always, ABOLISH THE DEATH PENALTY.
