Liberals have no problem having babies die after “Botched abortions” yet they have a problem with a cold blooded murderer who buried his victim alive not dying fast enough

Poetic justice....this POS didn’t suffer enough. He shot a white female and watched as his buddies buried the victim alive. Too bad he wasn’t drawn and quartered.

They should die by whatever method their victims died.

Well, we don't want any unhealthy side effects, do we?
What's wrong with using the same stuff they euthanize animals with?

"There comes a time in the history of every people when they become so pathologically soft and tender that they actually side with those elements that harm them; i.e. criminals"-A Great Historian 1888

I agree with the above. Today, there is simply too much pity expended on murderous and other violent criminals. All the criminal elements are is miserable little pieces of fate who are getting what they deserve-death!

It is a bad man that feels pity for a man getting what he deserves.

I am in favor of the death penalty, so much so that I think it is in the best interest of protecting it from the predations of the anti-death penalty crowd to promote executions that are guaranteed to have the absolute minimum of drama. I don't want to hand that crowd any ammunition, emotional or otherwise, to promote the eradication of the death penalty.

Years ago I read about a young Russian couple who bought an advertising-via-blimp business. Tragically through their ignorance, one day, while inspecting the interior of the helium-inflated blimp, they passed out from lack of oxygen and died peacefully. Ever since I have thought that that would be a good way to dispatch someone condemned to death.

My favorite death penalty trial story:

In jury selection, a prosecutor can ask a prospective juror if they are philosophically opposed to imposing the death penalty. Down in rural Texas, a prosecutor had such an exchange with an old rancher who was on the jury panel. The exchange went something like this:

Prosecutor: Sir, do you believe you could impose the death penalty on this man?

Rancher: Do they still do executions in this State on Saturdays?

Prosecutor: Well, yes, I suppose they do.

Rancher: Well, I’m free most Saturdays, so yes, I could if it was on a Saturday.

On the good side his eyeballs didn’t pop out. That would have been over the top.

Was he supposed to survive the execution?

Agreed.
And before we complain about the suffering he endured, we need to have an expose of his victims.

Nitrogen execution would also allow the condemned to donate his / her organs if they chose. Even hanging and the guillotine would allow that. Why we use incredibly toxic chemicals is confusing to me.

Am I the only person who thinks killing our guilty is barbaric? That behavior is no different that islam’sm

I chose to live in a State (MN) that does NOT have the death penalty. I'd hate to move to Texas and be falsely convicted of murder and then be put to death.

barbaric.

killing is wrong.

He did eventually croak, so was this execution really botched?

Technically, what happened did botch the execution of condemned man #2 - also scheduled to die that day.

...a 14-day postponement in the execution of inmate Charles Warner, who had been scheduled to die two hours after Lockett was put to death.

Medicalized executions are a perversion.

What’s wrong with a firing squad? Death should come from an instrument of death.

I wholeheartedly agree. Execution should not have the appearance of a clinical procedure. It's an overtly violent act, and should always be presented that way.

I commend your commitment to Life. It is noble.

Speaking for myself though, I am very much in favor of the death penalty — and do not see it as barbaric.
