This “being out of” the lethal drugs is a joke. Good Lord, you can OD on over-the-counter sleeping pills. Go in for some outpatient surgery ... Before you can count to 5 you are “out!” So instead of a short shot to cause that, just let it continue. Something is really screwy here. You don’t need all this exotic stuff.

Interesting in that Thomas Edison himself tried to popularize the term “Westinghousing” for electrocution back around the turn of the 20th Century during the “War of the Currents”.

As any biomedical technician can tell you just a few milliamps properly placed in the body will stop the heart immediately.
No need to strap them in a chair - just insert needles in both arms then apply a little current to them so as to complete a circuit through the heart.
Recent news has shown people getting electrocuted because of leaking current in swimming pools. So the “chair” isn’t really necessary.

(Just my opinion.)
To: kingattax
If we electrocuted them with wind or solar produced electricity would that make the libs happy?

Why not give them choice; electric chair, firing squad, lynching or carbon monoxide.I was just about to say, 'Why not an oxygen mask and a tank of CO?' Cheap, reliable and painless.

Nitrogen is widely available, cheaper, quicker acting than CO, and it’s non-toxic. Strap ‘em down on the gurney, put the mask on and open the valve.
So simple even a liberal could do it (if they would).

Execution by hanging should follow the Nuremburg method. The condemned Nazis were hanged by asphyxiation, not neck break drop. Their final minutes were called the “Spandau Ballet”.
Should work for the worst of the worst here.

Injection is not done to make the execution easier and painless. It is done to make the NERVOUS NELLIES of the public feel better about it.
I like this, WHERE ALL CAN SEE!

I didn’t know that. Interesting.
