TERRE HAUTE, Ind. -- The U.S. on Tuesday carried out its first federal execution in almost two decades, killing by lethal injection a man convicted of murdering an Arkansas family in a 1990s plot to build a whites-only nation in the Pacific Northwest.

The execution of Daniel Lewis Lee, over the objection of the victims’ relatives and following days of legal wrangling and delays, revived the debate over capital punishment during a time of widespread social unrest.

It's about damned time!
"I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo.

"So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."

Why were Proggies trying to save the life of a white supremacist? Because there is a shortage of that species of bogeyman?
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Should have hung him in the courthouse square 21 years ago.

Token execution only?  Let's empty death row, and give the Elecrtric Companies and Drug Companies some extra business.

When the day comes we execute all those involved in the coup attempt against Trump, then the death penalty will be back.  This was token.

Sad to say it wasn't old sparky but lethal injection.

Barr is reestablishing the death penalty. After all there will be big names scheduled
for terminations in the next administration. Try them and then fry them.

That will require miles of pock-marked wall, or a significantly longer amount of rope.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I prefer rope, much cheaper and reusable.  These perps don't deserve the kilo-watt use cost or the drugs for lethal injection.

An' if we run out of lamp posts there are plenty of highway overpasses.
