I guess the “death by Lizzo farts” option is off the table.

“And cheap too.
You can even re purpose a gas chamber”

Another option is an altitude chamber. At 40,000’ you have 3-5 seconds of useful consciousness and you don’t feel anything. No altitude chamber available? Surely the state has an airplane. Put the pilots on oxygen, take it to 35,000’ or so, fly around for 15 minutes and land - the deed is done.

The Government shouldn’t kill people.
“First they came for . . .”

Give the families machetes, axes, sledge hammers, and blow torches.
Or sell the participation privilege and run it on Pay Per View.

They seize all kinds of fentanyl. Why not use it for executions? It would be a great object lesson for potential users.

though I don’t like killing (I have trouble killing scorpions and such when they are where they’re unwanted) I do think it interesting it seems many people are more cautiously concerned with methods to kill a death row person than the methods used to kill unborn people.

Treat him like an innocent baby and abort him in safe, legal, and rare fashion.

Won’t be untested after we use it on this guy.

Hanging in the public square was always a much more efficient deterrent...

Although the guillotine is a close second (second because of the post-event mess)...

"Honestly, what could be more humane? You go to sleep and never wake up. There is no pain"

If it works this seems to be a promising technique that would survive judicial scrutiny.

Some prefer Yellow Mama and I joke about it but nowadays I actually prefer a method such as you describe.

Okay, put him on a table totally wrapped up and suck his brains out. Now they’re even.

"the ruling currently authorizes Alabama to use its new, untested method of nitrogen hypoxia..."

Doesn't look like its going to be untested for much longer.

 

Untested? Not true. It's been used as humane and effective in painlessly euthanizing pets and animals.

“I am so tired of lawyers.”

Read a joke in a Nelson Demille book yesterday:

Guy says to a friend, “Aren’t lawyers assholes?”

Someone overhears and says he resents that remark.

The guy asks, ‘Are you a lawyer?”

He says, “No, I’m an asshole.”

Exactly. Anyone who objects to the use of Nitrogen as an execution method just plain objects to the death penalty. There are a number of OSHA regulations concerning businesses that make use of Nitrogen in their processes because if you walk into a room filled with pure Nitrogen, you just die without even knowing that you are dying.
