That’s what I don’t understand - why not ‘put him under’ before the death? Doctor’s do it all the time - of course with most of us we wake up after the surgery’s done. A killer wouldn’t wake up. But it’s the same concept.

Horribly, so it only makes sense that he died the same way.

Why? How is the onset of unconsciousness from a sedative different than the onset of unconsciousness from passing out from oxygen deprivation?

The great thing about this method is that it uses nothing that some bleeding heart EU country can block. Lethal injection uses drugs that have been embargoed by several countries. Everything in the system has uses unrelated to execution.

I’m shocked the Waffle House food did not kill him first

Waffle House food is okay! Probably the last place that makes normal waffles instead of the spongy "Belgian" style. The hamburgers are better than the major cheap chains.

I got to appreciate Waffle House when they decided not to enforce any mask nonsense.

They’ll get better at this method over time. Live and learn, I always say

Sickening.

If the left are so worried....give him Ativan like they did me on a bipap mask just a few weeks ago. And, yes, I was restrained with pneumonia and sepsis out of my mind.

Sick of these leftists. They LOVE criminals and murderers.

Again, what’s the point? How is the onset of unconsciousness from a sedative different than the onset of unconsciousness from passing out from oxygen deprivation?

Whatever it took was still better than he deserved.

He probably tried to avoid breathing. That’s what happens. He hoped for a reprieve.

Commies and Muslims love to empty prisons. They serve a purpose.

I suspect some activists gave him some pointers and told him he’d be helping out the anti-death-penalty cause.

Okay here it is you all.
It took him 22 minutes to die.

So now let’s go back to hanging or firing squad shall we?

The Libs will bellyache about this come tomorrow morning yet how they kill babies in the uterus...

Oh you are so right!!! Wonder how he killed the preachers wife? Wonder how long it took her to die?

What’s wrong with a lethal dose of fentanyl? Just smear a bit on his skin and he’s gone in a few minutes. And the DEA and state police have literally tons of it.
