One thing I don’t understand about these supposed botched executions is just how hard is it to put a person to sleep?
I have undergone anesthesia 3 different times and each time the Dr. put me under in mid sentence. They probably could have done anything they wanted after than and I would never have known.
How long did it take for his victim to die?
For an execution you can’t beat a bullet.
The family of the victims said he was snoring, not gulping for breath.
I guess that doesn’t fit the narrative.
Me too. Total dark. Maybe I talked in my sleep but I have no memory of it. The hard part each time was waking up.
I would sentence vermin like this criminal to solitary confinement, no outside stimulation other than cspan 1 on tv, 24-7, 364 days a year. When the family of the victim(s) can see their loved one again, then the perp can see the light of day and other people again.
Sort of a take off of the prison in "Silence of the Lambs" without any/none of the perks shown in that movie.
That’s the truth!!
Although a lot of the euthanasia drugs are difficult to obtain, anesthesia doesn’t seem to be (thank goodness).
The only "botched execution" is one where the criminal doesn't die
Who amongst us hasn’t gone through this with a beloved dog, cat or horse?
The Enemy-Media has GOT to be making this sh#t up, because they sedate you, then give you an injection to stop your heart muscle.
Who the feck CARES about these mongrels that should be put down immediately upon conviction? These jerks are getting off, easy. They should be killed in the same manner in which their victim/s died.
I know. I’m SO mean, LOL!
I guess that doesn’t fit the narrative.
Knowing how the media loves to find a story with a narrative that supports their agenda, I am believing the family victims' account of the execution.
Besides, at this point in time, what difference does it make?
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
McCain spoke with his usual mediaspeak..”...it was “terrible” and amounted to “torture.” and this from the lawyer “...the drugs caused “cruel and unusual punishment.” The only torture and cruel and unusual punishment was the stated “obscene” length of time it took to deliver the punishment due to our appeals system. The tax-payers pick up the tab for 25 years of free room, board, and medicine plus the perks prisoners have in most prisons....Frankly a bullet is cheaper by far and probably the choice of most on death row.
One .30cal. round between the eyes from an M-1 Garand. ‘Course there’s going to be a mess to clean up.
I have had a few dogs put down over the years (sadly). The vet first puts the dog to sleep and then administers another drug that stops their breathing. What is so difficult about that?
I believe I would choose the firing squad if I were being executed.
I recall some WWII video of German “werewolfs” caught during the Battle of the Bulge. They were tied to a post and shot by a firing squad. They appeared to die instantly and immediately become a rag doll.
Imagine the "cruel and unusual punishment" the victim went through. Besides when it comes to these butchers and animals, a little suffering is good for the soul.
NOT the point at all. I Prosecuted for 25 years and did my fair share of Capital cases. I have prosecuted those for whom my thought was “so this is for whom they made the death penalty”.
But that is not the argument whatsoever. Barbarism bleeds into a society. Why on EARTH do you think “cruel and unusual punishment is in the Bill of Rights”?
You do not want a State, especially this burgeoning Police State, to have the power to execute it’s citizens. Perhaps my viewpoint is unique, but I don’t think people really appreciate just how much power the State has. If they want you guilty of something, rest assured you will be.
And finally, the System makes mistakes. Innocents have been put to death. And anyone that thinks that STILL makes it OK with an argument of something like “well, we still get 9 out of 10 and that’s just the price of execution” needs to seriously consider a position with the guy who chops off hands for theft.
This is not a LibTard thing. QUITE the contrary. We want to be in control of our State. That is what our Constitution does. Libs want the State to control us. That is what the death penalty does.
This article is terribly misguided and arguing an irrelevant point on the issue.
