“What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?”............................
Why are there 3 threads on this??????
I heard it caused his ears to fall off.
What’s the Frequency, Kenneth?
R.E.M.
[Verse 1]
“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
I was brain-dead, locked out, numb, not up to speed
I thought I’d pegged you an idiot’s dream
Tunnel vision from the outsider’s screen
[Chorus]
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
[Verse 2]
I’d studied your cartoons, radio, music, TV, movies, magazines
Richard said, “Withdrawal in disgust is not the same as apathy”
A smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
[Chorus]
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
“What’s the frequency, Kenneth?” is your Benzedrine, uh-huh
Butterfly decal, rear-view mirror, dogging the scene
You smile like the cartoon, tooth for a tooth
You said that irony was the shackles of youth
[Chorus]
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I never understood the frequency, uh-huh
You wore our expectations like an armored suit, uh-huh
I couldn’t understand
You said that irony was the shackles of youth, uh-huh
I couldn’t understand
You wore a shirt of violent green, uh-huh
I couldn’t understand
I never understood, don’t fuck with me, uh-huh
A plastic bag over the head has never been used before?
The air is already 78% nitrogen. Without oxygen that’s just plain old suffocation.
Then, there's this:
with the untested method previously branded 'torture' by the UN.
Bull Droppings!!!
We get all sorts of safety training, and gas sensors in areas where we use nitrogen and other inert gases, because it can kill you before you even know you're in trouble. It's the exact opposite of torture.
Smith ain't complaining.
Hashbowns from Waffle House? Smothered and covered?
hooray
His murder victim was unavailable for her opinion.
I used to be 100% for the death penalty until I realized how corrupt gov’t is. Now I’m like unless we can 100% guarantee the person did the crime I’m not for it.
Prosecutors use it to get confessions that aren’t legit. And people who are innocent have been put to death.
There should be an extra standard for the death penalty. Not just beyond a reasonable doubt. But 100% guilty guaranteed. There is no way imaginable that he didn’t’ commit this crime.
Doesn’t sound like torture, in fact, it took his breath away.
Next!
I knew this was going to happen. I said this on a thread from several months ago. It’s a painful way to die. Whatever idiot doctor said it was going to be quick and painless should have his license taken away. I am not debating whether it should have been painless or (per his crime) painful - that’s a separate discussion. But executing by nitrogen is in fact painful because it will trigger the gasp reflex. Lack of oxygen triggers the respiratory system to breathe deeper — or gasp, which only becomes more and more violent with time until the person passes out from hypoxia.
I oppose the state having the power to execute someone. Even with a trial by jury they have unlimited resources to “get” someone if they want.
The last rites. Not his last rights.
I am another who does not trust the government or human beings with the death penalty, unless there is no possible doubt.
If we are going to use the death penalty, I despise its medical guise these days, gurney, IV, now breathing mask. It is a perversion.
Let death come from the instruments of death, rifles and bullets by a firing squad, not from the instruments of healing.
The Daily Mail thinks its readers are stupid enough to believe that a human being can survive 22 minutes breathing nothing but nitrogen.
You can’t.
People have held their breath that long but their brains were still getting O2. Breathe pure N2 and in just a few breaths there is no more O2 reaching the brain. You’ll lose consciousness in seconds and be brain dead in single-digit minutes.
Ever breathe helium from a party balloon and hold it in until you got light-headed? Nitrogen is the same effect. You pass out with no discomfort, maybe even have a little euphoria. And. You. Never. Wake. Up.
