“..Their tank was huge, about 8 ft tall and at least 4 ft wide.......I wouldn’t go near it if I could avoid it...”

Wow! I use a small 125cf J-size bottle to fill motorcycle and car tires with, and it lasts for quite a long time before I have to have it refilled.
They must be planning on doing some serious number of executions to have a tank that big. More nitrogen to em!!!

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.

...widespread struggles American prisons have had in obtaining lethal injection drugs in recent years.

THAT is as dumb as THE dumbest thing I have ever heard. There are more opiates prescribed in Alabama than there are people in Alabama. Give me a break!

Doesn’t sound like torture, in fact, it took his breath away.

I don’t believe in Capital Punishment in the first place; but I’ve become distrustful of the judicial system generally, considering how it has been going in other areas.

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.

“Why are there 3 threads on this??????”

Because everyone wants the Coroner from the Wizard of Oz to say...

“As Coroner I must aver, I thoroughly examined her.
And she’s not only merely dead, she’s really most sincerely dead.”

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.

After the reading of his last rights...

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.

“Project Innocence” has a mixed bag of results.

Exoneration isn’t “Innocence”.
