Doesn’t carbon dioxide just cause the person to go to sleep
and never wake up?

Why not use that?

Perhaps someone can explain.

c’mo man, Almighty God required two witnesses for a death penalty and we require much more than that.
It is NOT blood lust, it is JUSTICE .
You got a problem with that?

the body reacts to too much CO2. Think of those trapped in mines or Apollo 13. The body does not react to too much nitrogen which is 80% of the air in normally.

In both cases the person is passing out and then dying from a lack of oxygen, not from the presence of CO2 or nitrogen.

Yeah, I have a problem with with our corrupt law system.

Did my post against our corrupt law system, which has grand juries,juries, prosecutors, judges, detectives, who have wrongly imprisoned & murdered innocent people unclear?

How would you like to lose 10 years of life in prison on a rape you didn’t commit because everybody got it wrong?

You cool with it?

“Is this the same gas that was used on the Jews in WWII?”

You don’t know what Nitrogen is?

No, I’m not cool with it.
I know we have an EXTREMELY corrupt criminal “justice” system, but that does not excuse granting murderers non payment for their crimes , which by the time is up , there is NO doubt as to their guilt.

Thinking on it more, I’m not either. Gonna agree here. Oh well if it was. I’m not gonna sob for the guy.

I think the funky chicken routine was before the gas started flowing, and maybe immediately afterward. The perp was bound and determined his death was going to be a statement regarding the cruelty of the death penalty.

We found common ground and agreement, which is a good thing.

BTW I’m not an abolish the death penalty advocate(The death penalty needs to be on the books) However, it better be used wisely & on people that are guilty and Never innocent.

I tossed it out and you didn’t state why that is better than
carbon dioxide.

A poster above did. Thanks anyway.

Oh well. What did his victim get? Next time, a firing squad. Swift and sure...

We're going completely in the wrong direction here. We should develop and use the funniest joke on earth, so that the death row inmate dies of laughter. Surely, we can agree that laughing to death would be painless. Indeed, it would be Fun!

If this method worked in the 1940's, it can work just fine today.

Not at all! The victim writhes, contorts his facial features and struggles for air. It's a cruel and vicious death!

In Switzerland one of the “new” methods of euthanasia or assisted suicide is to use a “pod” that fills with nitrogen gas and results in a rapid drop of oxygen levels and quick death.

What the state is doing is not technically that different and should provide no greater suffering than what people who want to end their life pay serious money for.
