"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.

[Magnum44]

Honestly, what could be more humane? You go to sleep and never wake up. There is no pain, which some death row inmates actually deserve.

[rktman]

Deprive the entity of O2.

“First, he has already survived one execution attempt”

This would not be an issue with a firing squad or a an old fashioned hanging.

[Yo-Yo]

Although Mr. Smith plans to appeal, the ruling currently authorizes Alabama to use its new, untested method of nitrogen hypoxia to execute Mr. Smith on January 25.

I don't think they should be using untested methods like this until they're first tested on criminals...

Helium makes for much funnier last words.

[PLMerite]

They should OD him on Nitrous Oxide.

Then he can laugh himself to death.

back to regularly scheduled programming

[billorites]

Why not helium?

Add a comic touch.

First, he has already survived one execution attempt, which left him with post-traumatic stress disorder,

This is darkly hilarious on many levels. It would make a great comedy skit - the incompetence of government, the bloated prog judicial bureaucracy, over-wrought social welfare bureaucrats, and of course, the man who can not be killed.

If anyone should have an existential crisis - its a murderer, on death row, who already survived one attempt at being executed.

[Noumenon]

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

[Macoozie]

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.

[b4me]

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.

[RetiredArmy]

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

[HombreSecreto]

.45 ACP would have no problem finding a vein.

[SuperLuminal]

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)...

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

[Carriage Hill]

I can execute that POS in 2-3secs.
