Not true if you read the gory details ...Camus wrote an essay on it.

Use helium, then the criminals can die sounding like chipmunks.

In the US, purveyors of drugs have to get them approved as safe and effective, or run the risk of lawsuits.

Medical executions are inherently flawed and should be stopped.

That would work just fine, I assume.

If you’re going to die, leave ‘em laughing.

Most of these people committed heinous crimes to those they murdered.
So why not let them die in a heinous way. I say strip these people down, strap them in a bolted down metal chair, cut a few slits to start a little bleeding, and then let loose a horde of ravenous rats. They will do a good job and the suffering of the murderer will be quite terrible.

This judge might want to remember on whom historically the guillotine was used.

Well, don't we have our own "king" worthy of a guillotine?

God does have a sense of humor and I distinctly remember reading a reply in the Old Testament that sounded like sarcasm.)

Likely at the end of Job. And yes, I think God was being rather sarcastic!

During the reign of terror it was used against....

Christians, shopkeepers, people who the snobby elites didn’t like for whatever good reason.

Children were much in attendance..

Yep. That's when bad guys getting their just rewards was the norm, and children saw firsthand what that was.
