    I’m from NC- does the law require they be there or require they have the option to be there…?

    Cause if its the latter that’s not strictly bad. I’m kinda conflicted on it honestly, they have a right to be there, but it’s also pretty much guaranteed to be a deeply traumatic experience…

      I’m also from North Carolina, are we executing people again? I thought we quit that after Flippen. There hasn’t been an execution in North Carolina since 2006.

        Considering this is a Norm MacDonald bit from Weekend Update, I’m pretty sure this is from the 90’s.

            I’m not sure if you’re joking or not (Poe’s Law and all), but Norm MacDonald told this joke (word for word) in 1996 on SNL’s Weekend Update. Some social media account added the transcript of the joke to an old photo of Norm to post it as a meme. That says nothing about whether or not North Carolina is currently executing people; it’s just someone retelling an old joke.
