US Attorney General Bill Barr on Monday directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to schedule executions for four federal death-row inmates convicted of murdering children.
In two of the cases, the inmates raped the children they murdered.
In July of 2019, AG Barr directed the Federal Bureau of Prisons to revise the Federal Execution Protocol to provide for the use of a single-drug, pentobarbital — similar to protocols used in hundreds of state executions and repeatedly upheld by federal courts, including the Supreme Court, as consistent with the Eighth Amendment, the DOJ announced.
Last year the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit blocked the execution of a federal inmate.

Is Obama and Hillarys name on these execution lists ?
Make room for all the cops Barr is putting away. Just not James Comey.
Just leave each one in Jeffrey Epstein's cell overnight. No muss, no fuss.
Gotta make room for all these "protesters"
There are times when cruel and unusual punishment seems appropriate, as in recreating the murdered victims' protracted fear and pain.
An eye for eye. That is the way it should be and then people might act like they got some civility .slaphappy out
