B.S. ! The 3-drug sequence is the same one used by Dr. Kevorkian. So how come it was merciful for Kevorkian to kill innocents using those drugs, but suddenly it's cruel when applied to convicted criminals?
What's the difference between the death potion and and the barbituate?
How about beating, stabbing and raping him. He obviously doesn't think that this is cruel and unusual.
They sedate the person till they sleep, then kill them. How is that not a good way?
The American Medical Association's ethics guidelines prohibit doctors from assisting or administering lethal injections. They're only allowed to pronounce death. So who does this judge think is an "expert"? Oh, yeah, Kevorkian...
"A federal judge ruled Tuesday that California must change its lethal injection method for the execution of Michael Morales next week because the current mix of drugs may constitute cruel and unusual punishment."
Who cares...as long as it kills him. I think the old methods of hanging and firing squads were more foolproof.
.45 in the back of the head is painless
guillotine is painless
Drop a 50 ton concrete block on him is painless
four claymores from all four sides would be painless
Idiot. It IS a lethal dose of barbituate, followed by a lethal dose of a neuromuscular blocking agent, followed by a lethal dose of Potassium. Maybe they should add about .45cal of copper jacketed lead infused intracranially to be sure...
Sigh, why do we bother with all these injections? Wouldn't firing squads be a lot easier? Plus, they are practically immune to C&U challenges (although, OTOH you never know, there is always the IX Circus).
are they going to have someone slap him to ensure he's unconscious?
I can already hear the lawyers screaming now
I am constantly amazed at how the radical, ignorant, left wing, mentally deranged, sick libs in this country always go to the defense of murderers, torturers, rapists, etc.
Basically the libs are saying "We do not care what this person did, what happened to the victim or the victims family.
So the lethal injection may cause some discomfort? BIG F#@#@@#@ DEAL!!! Tell the family of the victim that!!
I am really getting pissed.
Send these scum to me. Release them on my property and I will give them a 5 minute head start. After that, never mind what I do to them.
By the way, this is exactly what I would do to anyone that comes on my property and screws with my family. Well, not exactly. I would NOT give them 5 minutes. I would be on them in a heartbeat, whether I use my weapons, or my self defense training!!
Either way, these dirtbags would be dead and never recovered!!
DAMN KALIFORNIA LIBERAL JUDGES!!
Sodium Pentothal has been used in surgery suites for the last thirty years that I know of. If it's such a poor sleeper, you might think there would have been a clamor regarding the patients who came under the knife while 'being awake'.
This judge was sold a bill of goods. Pentothal (sodium thiopental), Pavulon (pancuronium bromide) and potassium chloride provide a very humane way of exiting this world.
The mutilating, rapist and murderer who is on death row, did the following to his victim.
I believe she was a 17 year old girl. He beat her senseless. He hit her in the head with a hammer numberous times. With her skull crushed he drug her face down across a road so he could rape her at a different location. From reports I heard today, she was still moaning as this beast raped her, then either finished her off or left her for dead.
Now we're worried if this demon will die painlessly. Furious doesn't begin to describe my thoughts on this.
"current mix of drugs may constitute cruel and unusual punishment"
This is the same stuff that kills them right, and we pay these judges and they get law degrees to tell us that?
