BLOUNTVILLE, Tenn. (WJHL) — A Thursday night Sullivan County Commission work session that was called to discuss the use of Flock cameras in Sullivan County turned heated after a county commissioner called for the public hanging of Flock Safety’s CEO, Garrett Langley.

What started as a civil discussion turned heated following those comments made by Commissioner Joe Carr.

“I believe that Flock right now is one of the most hated companies in America,” Carr stated during the meeting. “They are one of the most corrupt companies in America. And, quite frankly, sir, I don’t think we can make America great again without hanging your CEO publicly for treason.”

I am kind of stunned that he said the above bolded quote, in person, to the face of a Flock representative.

Cowabunga it is then.

    You probably can’t in Tennessee without legal changes or a convoluted set of court cases.

    The method of execution is lethal injection, but a prisoner condemned before January 1, 1999, may choose to be electrocuted instead. Electrocution is also provided if lethal injection is found to be unconstitutional or if any drug necessary to carry it out is unavailable. If electrocution is found to be unconstitutional, state statutes then provide the use of “any constitutional method of execution”.[2]

    Currently, only New Hampshire has a law specifying hanging as an available secondary method of execution, now only applicable to one person, who was sentenced to capital punishment by the state prior to its repeal in 2019.[3]
