re: So apparently South Carolina won't be able to execute Roof

quote:

Ninety-five percent of all known executions were carried out in only six countries: China, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United States, Pakistan and Iraq.

So, the Inquisition, the Holocaust and Stalin's purges don't get Spain, Germany or Russia on the list? Whoever put your stat together must not be counting those killings as executions. The government (and, in the case of the Inquisition, the church, which was essentially indistinguishable from the government) took people into custody and put them to death. How are those killings not executions?
