Liberals in many countries kill easily on appointment by the soon to be deceased, why is execution in America so unpredictable and complicated?

There are other much more effective ways. Forget the media, get the job done. So many people want an excuse to keep evil people alive, probably because they, too, are evil and do not want punishment to befall them.

It's amazing how we've managed to totally "Rube Goldberg" executions in this country.

Snoring? Probably agonal breathing.

Why give two injections?

I would hang the bottle on an IV stsnd and infuse until she stopped twitching.

Ironic. Liberals in Canada can kill thousands with their euthanasia program, and liberals in the US fight to keep an execution from happening.

Tennesse can't manage one execution. My guess is that the drugs were adulterated in some way. Perhaps they need to start hiring Canadian Doctors.

Since she is unconscious so I suppose they could introduce an air embolism into her vein that would end her life.

Canadian doctors are experts at “medically” killing people. Just sign her up for MAiD, let them handle the details.

How about a bunch of fentanyl.

Make a big announcement.

“The fentanyl for this prisoners was provided courtesy of the () cartel.”

lolol. That would work. It’s really not funny. People commit heinous crimes and so many want to defend them. It’s insane.
