Even Rasputin’s execution was only partially botched....
If it was botched the man would still be alive...
This whole death by lethal injection thing is just stupid. Use either the gallows or a closed chamber and slowly pump in nitrogen while removing oxygen. Criminal falls asleep, pump in more nitrogen and take out all oxygen. Perp dies in sleep.
When O. J. was acquitted by a mostly-black jury, most black people in the country celebrated. That he had killed two white people didn't bother them.
It's probably something similar with Obama--he looks at the fact that the killer who was excecuted was black, and since the victim was white, he could care less about her.
He's probably the most racist President since Woodrow Wilson.
In practical terms, Oklahoma has authorized three means of execution. The preferred means is lethal injection, with the alternative of the gas chamber. Their law states that only if both of those have been declared unconstitutional, should they use the firing squad.
This law needs to be changed. This is because the firing squad is the *least* prone to error, and *least* prone to legal challenge.
Those opposed to the death penalty have made lethal injection impractical, so it should be discontinued, or kept in reserve as an alternative means. So the change in the law should be *first*, the firing squad. Second, the gas chamber, and third, lethal injection.
Why they don’t use massive overdoses of heroin is beyond my understanding, since they seem to insist upon the criminal being comfortable while dying.
Someone needs to ask Dear Leader how he assures that the victims of his drone attacks die instantly without suffering.
Lockett was a four time felon who shot a 19 year old girl with a sawed off shot gun while robbing her house. He and his accomplices buried her alive.
So no, it wasn’t botched, it was a rare moment of real justice. the founders messed up on slavery and IMO they messed up on prohibiting cruel punishment. people who murder innocent people in horrible ways deserve to die horribly as well. At least that’s the way I see it.
He’s dead, Jim! Mission accomplished.
I’d use a rope or bullet rather than poison.
