The moments of discomfort he felt were nothing compared with the agony of the woman he savagely stabbed to death.

You know this, I know this but the pro death people who want to kill grandma are now shaking in their boots. So SHHHH! Don’t tell them!

The libtards seem to forget that. Had he not murdered someone, he would not have had to gasp for air on a gurney.

Exactly.

Don’t want the death penalty?

Don’t do anything to deserve it.

I have never understood why it seems difficult to execute some one by lethal injection.

If you have ever had surgery they give you enough of some type of drug that knocks you out and keeps you out for a period time, you feel nothing until they wake you up.

I’ve had two colonoscopies, each time they gave me Propofol which is what killed Michael Jackson, it puts you out and you feel nothing while the procedure is going on, if you were given a larger dose it would kill you.

It seems to me someone being executed by lethal injection could be given an IV of propofol until they go under, then given an increasing amount until they are dead, they would feel nothing and the procedure would be over quickly.

I think part, but not all of the difficulty, stems from drug manufacturers’ refusing to contract with prisons to have their product used for execution.

“I have never understood why it seems difficult to execute some one by lethal injection.”

At-home euthanasia of pets by Veterinarians seems peaceful.

So I don’t know either...

Three of the Supreme Court justices dissented, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor writing, “Having failed to kill Smith on its first attempt, Alabama has selected him as its ‘guinea pig’ to test a method of execution never attempted before. The world is watching.”

The U.S. Constitution prescribes death for treason. I guess we’ll just have to use whatever methods of execution were widely used in 1788 when the Constitution was ratified. If they considered hanging or firing squads to be cruel or unusual, you’d think they’d have specifically barred those methods for executing traitors.

And what about carbon monoxide? Lots of folks commit suicide in their cars, just go to sleep.

I had forgotten about that, one of our labs had cancer and was in his last days when we had him euthanized at home, the service we used had licensed veterinarians that came out, gave him a shot and he went away peacefully and without pain.

I don’t know. Sounds cruel and it definitely was unusual. And this is how they want people to self-terminate?

I think It’s because the drug companies succumbed to pressure and won’t provide the drugs used for lethal injection executions. It’s ok for a sick old dog but not ok for a psychopathic murderer.

It’s inexpensive and it worked and readily available. If there is an issue of the amount of time and distress the execution takes, simply knock the prisoner out with a common drug such as propofol and proceed with the face masking and introduction of the inert nitrogen.

There’s always garroting which is much less expensive than building a gallows. A fancy garroting chair isn’t necessary, a length of stout rope a well placed pole and a length of pipe (ax handles might break). Tie the rope together with an approved knot and slip the bar into place behind the post and twist.

One could even employ the Spanish Inquisition method where they could be burned at the stake or if they confess they could be garrotted before the fires are lit.

Terrible incentive but publicly persuasive nonetheless.

I had a colonoscopy last year, and I couldn’t believe how instant they knocked me out. I don’t know if they used Propofol, but they told me “OK were going to put you out” and like in the blink of an eye they said “OK your done” huh? What? You just said you were going to put me out” and they said “We just did it, your finished” It seemed so instant I thought they might have been pulling a scam on me

Since he had beaten the previous execution event, I bet he was trying to thwart this one, too. He likely held his breath until his body’s automatic reactions took over, causing the thrashing and deep breaths.

I know what you mean, it was the same way for me, a couple of years ago I had hip surgery and the last thing I remember was the anesthesiologist telling me that would put me under and wouldn’t feel a thing, I don’t remember her leaving, I don’t remember by wife leaving, the next thing I remember was waking up after what seemed like 5-10 minutes wondering when the surgery was going to happen only to be told, the surgery is over and everything is fine and the doctor would be there soon to check on me,

Same thing happened to me a few years ago. One moment I was wide awake and the next moment they said that they were finished. I couldn’t believe how fast it was.
