The news often reports on “botched executions,” but they never report on “botched euthanasia.” Why is that?

Are most “botched executions” caused by malice, or incompetence?

Here’s the latest example of a “botched execution” in the news:

Because murderers have a right to life. Babies don’t.

I always asked if you can painlessly euthanize people, why can’t you painlessly execute someone?

A guillotine works so much better.

There is a push to execute murderers with nitrogen gas which is quite painless.

Progressives doctrine is not about “true” or “false”, but as academic or practical.

“Botched” executions are mostly street theater anyway. They are the product of condemned inmates being coached to make it appear that they are feeling something they are not.

Hanging.

No I’m not joking.

It’s cheap, fast, reliable.

We have a love affair with high tech gizmo blinky lights but they never pan out may that be the electric chair, gas chamber or lethal injection.

If done right, hanging is 100% effective where the only “botched” execution is where a head comes off.

If you want to be sure error on the side of a greater drop and the only thing you’ll botch up is that the head will come off: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iraq-saddam-execution-idUSL1526245520070115

But I assure you, he’ll still be dead and won’t sue you. It’ll be a big mess, BUT the death is instant and painless.

There is no such thing as a free lunch and any decision made has it’s pros and cons. Hanging is overall still the best way to execute someone.

Because the left wants old non-violent law-abiding descendants of Europeans to die and entitled violent murderers to live a life of plenty and freedom.

5mg (smaller than a pinch) of Fentanyl powder sprinkled on the condemned last meal or mixed in with some ice cream. Cheap, simple, painless.
