Ohio called off the execution Wednesday of a sick inmate after several unsuccessful attempts to insert an IV.
Members of the Ohio execution team tried to find veins in the arms and right leg of death row prisoner Alva Campbell for about 25 minutes before stopping.

Stop screwing around with injections and give them the chop. Quick efficient and reliable.
I don’t think there is a shortage of rope or trees in Ohio.
Why cant we just do a firing squad?
Painless and thorough.
If I was scheduled to be executed, my last meal request would be for an all you can eat buffet.........
Why didn’t they try a vein in the neck?
I shiver at the thought. My last time in the hospital they couldn’t find a vein with a portable ultrasound machine and I woke up with a PICC line. I don’t see why they have to search for the vein with him awake.
And any pillow would do the job, if applied correctly and held in place for a couple of minutes.
C’mon, the libs are always talking about stuff we shouldn’t do cuz it’ll kill ya. Just pick one!
Gee, its a good thing they werent wasting all that time while attempting to resuscitate him. One could argue they did their best to save his life and succeeded. They should have called 911 and let a paramedic get venous access.
Why didnt they defer to an intraosseous (IO) needle after a couple failed IV attempts?
>>let a paramedic get venous access
Never ONCE have I met a paramedic who can get venous access on me. I’ve taken to refusing to let them try.
Just put him to sleep with drugs and find a vein while he’s unconscious.
Nitrogen Asphyxiation
Strap the condemned down, attach a brain wave monitor, supply 99% Nitrogen (welding gas) at 1.1 atmospheres to a breathing mask. Wait till the brain wave monitor goes flat for 5 min.
No mess
No fuss
And grandpa’s rope will work just fine too.
I have never understood why they dont use the exact same method of putting down animals that shelters use to put down these criminals.
If it’s humane enough for innocent animals, it’s humane enough for this scum!
.
Argon is welding gas.
Nitrogen affects the metal too much.
.
No problem. They could just make an anonymous phone call to Hillary Clinton saying that this guy has dirt on her, and is about to talk.
WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!
I mentioned nitrogen as a welding gas because I buy my nitrogen from the welding gas store, though I don’t use it for welding. I do know that nitrogen is used in welding plastic.

I have a friend who is a member of the Hemlock Society. They recommend nitrogen.
