Helium asphyxiation makes for much funnier last words.

[Feckless]

Their victims didn't get to choose less painful way to die.

F 'em. Smoke 'em.

[frank ballenger]

Or try the old time method:
Man writes a suicide letter to his family and walks out, unarmed at night, through Detroit.

[DownInFlames]

Yep. All you feel is a tingle, then death.

[SkyDancer]

How painful was it for the people they murdered?

[chuckee]

Give them what they want immediately with a bullet between the eyes if they agree to drop their appeal.

[Celtic Conservative]

I like the way you think!

Versed is a wonderful amnesia drug.

[Bob434]

haven’t heard of that one-

[Basket_of_Deplorables]

Why they don’t use CO, Carbon Monoxide, is beyond me. Painless, very fast, can’t screw it up. Mask or chamber, 10 breaths and you’re dead.

[Glennb51]

It is usually administered during a procedure when the patient is a “twilight sleep” form of anesthesia. This way you don’t remember the conversation of the medical team.

Some special ops units also receive it.

One of the great endings in movie history and history itself.

[Bob434]

ive had some kind of amnesia drug- but dont’ remember the name- mighta been that one- or another form- but i sure didnt’ remember what was done or said when they gave it to me-

[Libloather]

...the state's three-drug lethal injection...

Also known as 'boosters'.

Don’t be a dumbass like I was (waited 5 years before I got another DOG), go down to the local pound and find yourself another good boy or girl!

They need a good home and you need a BRAVE, LOYAL, TRUSTWORTHY companion to walk or ride the trails with!

[Osage Orange]

Hanging would be better.................

[Osage Orange]

Sheet...get a nice cigar!!

[jmacusa]

I know my FRiend I know. Believe me I wish I could. But my age, and over all health is not the best and I couldn’t be there all the time for what it takes to care for our canine friends.

It breaks my heart if I think about but thanks so much for your kind encouragement. You’re a good man, you’re a good Marine.
