McMaster, South Carolina should stop execution of Owens; here's why
Why do we kill people who kill people to show that killing people is wrong?
The state of South Carolina is scheduled to execute Freddie Owens on Sept. 20. If the execution goes as scheduled,. Owens will be the first person executed here in South Carolina in well over a decade.

Killing Owens will solve none of the issues that South Carolinians faces today. It will not bring any kind of justice, nor will it make South Carolina a safer state, but it is costing taxpayers. Executing Owens will only bring more pain and suffering to our state.
It is hypocritical for individuals like Gov. Henry McMaster to claim to be pro-life while also being pro-execution. If we want to make South Carolina a truly pro-life state, that must include ending the death penalty.
I believe that South Carolina should strive to be more like West Virginia regarding the issue of protecting life. Currently, West Virginia is the only state in America that has banned both abortion and the death penalty.
I oppose the execution of Owens because I oppose lethal injections for the ill, the preborn, and the accused. I proudly support the heartbeat legislation that McMaster signed into law, and the governor should stop the execution of Owens and let his heart beat.

Kitts scored 14 points in No. 1 South Carolina’s 42nd straight win, 95-44, over East Carolina
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 17, 2024
South Carolina Women’s Basketball Contact: Diana Koval (dkoval@mailbox.sc.edu, 314-369-6050)
COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) — Chloe Kitts had 14 points and seven rebounds to lead No. 1 South Carolina to a 95-44 win over East Carolina on Sunday for the Gamecocks’ 42nd straight victory.
MiLaysia Fulwiley and freshman Joyce Edwards added 12 points apiece as the Gamecocks (4-0) finished with five players in double figures on the way to their 61st consecutive home win.
All 12 players who hit the court scored for the Gamecocks. South Carolina opened a 13-0 lead and put away the Pirates (2-2).
As the lead grew, South Carolina coach Dawn Staley mixed and matched her players, twice even using a full, hockey-style line change to sub out all five Gamecocks on the court.
NOTABLES
- With the victory over the Pirates, South Carolina marked its 42nd straight, tying the program record.
- The Gamecocks showed off their depth with all 12 available players netting at least a bucket, and the bench scoring 45 points to ECU’s 44 total points. Every starter also recorded at least on steal, rebound and assist.
- South Carolina scored 40 points off turnovers, the most since logging 41 vs. Duke (12/19/19).
- Defense was the name of the game early as South Carolina held the Pirates to just five points and a near four-minute scoring drought to close the opening quarter.
- Five Gamecocks finished in double figures for the second time in as many games with Chloe Kitts leading the way for the second time this season with 14 points.
- Sania Feagin had an excellent first half, scoring eight of her 10 points on perfect shooting from the field (3-of-3) and free throw line (2-of-2).
- Freshman Joyce Edwards put up a new season-high 12 points in addition to two blocks and a steal.
- Freshman Maddy McDaniel recorded team highs with six assists and four steals in her 19 minutes on the court.

Kyle Kennard Climbs to Second in School History, Closing in on South Carolina’s Sack Record
Kyle Kennard, the dominant EDGE rusher hailed as one of college football’s best this season, delivered another standout performance last night, further cementing his place in South Carolina history. With 10.5 sacks on the season, Kennard now ranks second in the school’s single-season sack record books, sitting just 3.5 sacks away from breaking the all-time record held by Gamecock legend and NFL All-Pro Jadeveon Clowney.
In achieving this milestone, Kennard surpassed two other Gamecock greats—Melvin Ingram, another NFL All-Pro, and Andrew Provence, whose legacy looms large in South Carolina football lore. Kennard’s remarkable consistency and relentless energy on the field have made him a nightmare for opposing offenses and a cornerstone of the Gamecocks’ defense.
Clowney’s record, which has stood as the pinnacle of defensive achievement at South Carolina, is now within reach. With two games left to play, Kennard is poised to potentially set a new standard and etch his name as one of the all-time greats in Gamecock history.
Kennard’s dominance this season has validated the preseason hype surrounding him. His ability to disrupt plays, pressure quarterbacks, and anchor the defense has been instrumental to South Carolina’s success. Now, with history on the line, Kennard has the opportunity to crown an already impressive season with an unforgettable achievement.
As the Gamecocks gear up for their final two games, all eyes will be on Kennard as he looks to secure his place atop South Carolina’s record books and solidify his legacy as one of the greatest to ever wear the garnet and black.
