I don’t think there is a shortage of rope or trees in Ohio.

Why can’t we just do a firing squad?


I agree. It’s the best.

Painless and thorough.

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, it’s a good thing they weren’t 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 didn’t 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

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.

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.
