                        South Carolina just executed a man by firing squad. 
This violent state-sponsored killing is a horrifying reminder of the 
brutality of the death penalty — a punishment that still exists in most U.S. 
states.



                        Warning: disturbing details follow.



                        Brad Sigmon was forced to choose how the state would 
kill him: by being electrocuted in a chair, chemically suffocated by lethal 
injection, or shot to death. Given the options, a firing squad actually 
seemed less traumatic to him by comparison.

                        Sigmon's execution was not swift, painless, or 
humane. He was brought to the state's death chamber, where he was strapped 
into a chair above a basin to collect blood. Once there, officials pulled a 
hood over his head and marked a target on his chest. Witnesses flinched as 
gunshots rang out from three volunteer executioners, watching his body 
convulse as bullets ripped through him. His arms tensed, he gasped for air, 
muscles peaked out of his wound, and a red stain spread across his chest 
before he finally died.

                        This was not justice — it was a spectacle of 
suffering. And it will happen again unless we take action now. The state of 
South Carolina has made clear that it will continue this barbaric practice, 
with executions planned every five weeks. There are still 28 people on death 
row, awaiting a fate that no human being should endure.

                        The death penalty is not only cruel and inhumane, 
but it is also deeply flawed. Innocent people have been executed, and the 
system is riddled with errors. On top of that, racial and economic 
disparities plague the U.S. policing system, court verdicts, and judges' 
sentencing choices. Even former executioners have come forward to say the 
death penalty is nothing more than legalized torture.


                        Sign this petition to call for an immediate halt to 
all executions and to demand that lawmakers abolish the death penalty in the 
U.S. once and for all.







                 Thank you,

                        Celeste

                        P.S. The death penalty does not belong in a modern 
justice system. We must demand an end to this outdated and immoral 
punishment. Sign the petition.
