“Today, the state of Tennessee killed a gentle, kind, fragile, intellectually disabled man in a violation of the laws of our country simply because they could.”

Maybe Jim Acosta can interview his murder victims and ask how bad they feel about it.

The victims. No mention about cries of pain from them.

Well, if the death penalty opponents had not done everything that they have to keep sedation and anesthetic drugs from being used ‘off label’, we wouldn’t have this problem, would we?

Any pain being experienced is directly the cause of death penalty opponents own actions.

I wonder if the murdered girl friend and her daughters cried out in pain when they were killed? I bet this nice man put them permanently to sleep with no pain at all with tender loving compassion. /s/

I wonder how his THREE innocent victims cried out in pain while he was murdering them? Did he forget to use anesthesia on them first?

In the old Cagney movie “Angels with Dirty Faces”, Cagney ends up on death row, but he is a hero to younger hoodlums. The priests suggests to Cagney that he is not the role model the young boys need. At first Cagney seems not to care, and plays it tough. But, as Cagney is dragged to the electric chair he starts to scream and cry and his last moments are spent in fear. The younger guys start to rethink their futures after that. The priest is satisfied.

On the flip side, I think death row inmates are visited by activists who tell them that the death penalty is in place today only because it is “painless”. But — if you scream out in pain at the end, maybe people will believe you and decide that the death penalty is barbaric. In short: the inmates who scream at the end are faking, in my opinion.

That quote is from an attorney. And that attorney is, at best, a fool.

Gentle and kind people don’t kill innocent people. And especially not children.

Why don’t they just give them fentanyl? Apparently it doesn’t take much, it is readily available, and it doesn’t cost a lot. They may die puking and convulsing, but they would be totally unaware of it. Think of it like the modern techno version of the hempen jig.

On July 22, a judge ordered that a heart device implanted in Black needed to be removed at a hospital the morning of his execution, a development that appeared to complicate matters as a Nashville hospital declined to participate.

If the press and the bleeding hearts out there want to blame someone for the murderer's suffering, blame the hospital that wouldn't remove the defibrillator.

But, they can be assured that the man did not suffer long.

We could always go back to the Guillotine no suffering with that baby!
