One southern state is about to show pro-crime Democrats what real justice looks like.
It’s time we stopped coddling criminals and delivered swift, certain punishment. That’s how we keep America safe.
And this is how left-wing saboteurs forced a conservative state to make a shocking return to firing squad executions.
Brad Sigmon, a convicted double-murderer, faces firing squad execution
The left-wing establishment’s endless hand-wringing over capital punishment is about to meet cold, hard reality in South Carolina, where convicted double-murderer Brad Sigmon faces execution by firing squad this Friday.
This marks a decisive moment in America’s ongoing battle to maintain law and order as states increasingly turn to alternative execution methods amid activist-driven obstacles to lethal injection.
Sigmon, who brutally murdered his ex-girlfriend’s parents with a baseball bat in 2001, will face justice through a method that’s both swift and certain – a stark contrast to the problematic lethal injection protocols that leftists have worked tirelessly to undermine.
The facts are clear: Since 1976, lethal injection has been used 1,428 times in America, with Texas leading the charge at 593 executions.
But pharmaceutical companies, bowing to pressure from left-wing activists, have made it increasingly difficult for states to obtain the necessary drugs.
This manufactured crisis has forced states to adapt. Nine states now authorize electrocution, while five states – Idaho, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Utah – have approved firing squads as an alternative method.
The Left’s perpetual obstruction of justice has led to this moment. Their relentless campaign against lethal injection has backfired spectacularly, resulting in the revival of methods they consider even more objectionable.
Alabama recently demonstrated the effectiveness of alternative methods by successfully using nitrogen hypoxia to execute Kenneth Eugene Smith in February 2024, becoming the first state to employ this method.
The legacy media won’t tell you that firing squads, while rarely used in modern times, have a track record of efficiently carrying out justice. Only three inmates have been executed by firing squad since 1977, all in Utah, with the last occurring in 2010.
Sigmon’s case exemplifies why capital punishment remains necessary in our society. After smoking crack cocaine, he deliberately planned and executed a savage attack on David and Gladys Larke, striking each victim nine times in the head with a baseball bat.
Court documents reveal the victims likely suffered for up to five minutes, hemorrhaging and choking on their own blood. Sigmon then attempted to kidnap and murder his ex-girlfriend before fleeing to Tennessee.
The Democrat Party’s endless coddling of violent criminals stands in stark contrast to the reality of such heinous crimes. Their opposition to capital punishment represents a fundamental betrayal of justice for victims and their families.
Idaho is now considering making firing squads their primary execution method, with Republican Sen. Doug Ricks proposing an innovative solution: a firing squad machine that would eliminate the need for multiple execution team members.
This common-sense approach demonstrates how conservative leadership can overcome liberal obstruction to ensure justice is served.
The historical record speaks volumes: From 1608 to 2002, America carried out 9,322 executions by hanging. Our ancestors understood the necessity of swift and certain punishment for capital crimes.
Today’s execution methods may have evolved, but the principle remains unchanged: Society has both the right and the duty to impose the ultimate sanction on those who commit the most heinous crimes.
Left-wing activists can continue their theatrical performances about “cruel and unusual punishment,” but the reality is that their obstruction of lethal injection has forced states to embrace arguably more severe methods.
The fact remains that Sigmon admitted his guilt in open court, stating plainly, “Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I am guilty.” Justice delayed is justice denied, and after 23 years, it’s time for justice to be served.
