Most drugs merely lose some effectiveness past the expiration date, so double the dose and press on.

Otherwise, the legislature will have to authorize a secondary method of execution. Currently, Texas law only provides for lethal injection.

Give them the fraternity hazing treatment. Make them drink a 12-pack of beer and a 750 ml bottle of whiskey in one hour.

For some of those criminal types, that’s breakfast.

“ACE Hardware sells rope.”

Hammers, saws, electrical fuses...all nice stuff to continue eradicating death row scum from America. Love Ace.

Surely the great State of Texas does not have a bullet shortage!

Nope, but the way the media might spin it, they’d have you believe that George Zimmerman bought all of Texas’ supply . . .

Why don’t they just snip their spinal cords and suck their brains out like they do at abortion clinics?

There ya go! He can crack his jokes during the executions the way he did at his “clinic”. Make the executions a lot more fun and exciting.

BWAHAHAHHAHHA!

Perfect!!

You can laugh it up all you want.

This drug shortage is the result of the liberal's attempt to do an backdoor ban on the death penalty.

They are winning and all the comments on this thread about using rope and bullets are just as empty and pathetic as the "Don't Tread on Me" flags from the conservatives who always roll over.

Just put 100 sleeping pills in their final meal.

BTW, I recently had to take a friend’s dying cat to the vet to be put down. THEY had a supply of pentobarbital. Take these guys to the vet.

That stuff took about two seconds to knock the cat out and about ten to kill it.

The could inject a chunk of lead. That would be lethal.

Also, "currently" reminds me that they could also use the electric chair.

They could also use drip bag with a mega dose of confiscated heroin. That will put them out quickly and would be about as painless as any other method. That would solve the execution drug shortage problem and the whining of those that complain about painful executions.

Gas chamber, firing squad, hanging, electric chair.

I've always been partial to the gas chamber. Let the bastards suffer before expiring, in much the way they often forced their victims to suffer.

“Currently, Texas law only provides for lethal injection.”..

One well placed .40 S&W could be considered “Lethal Injection”, certainly it would be lethal.

HLS has an abundant supply of .40’s that would work.

from the article:

As of May 2012, Texas had 46 of the 2.5-gram vials of pentobarbital, presumably enough to execute as many as 23 prisoners since each execution requires a 5-gram dose. The execution Wednesday of an inmate convicted in two road-rage killings was the 20th lethal injection since that disclosure.

end snip

So after the drug expiration date the remaining vials can't be used?

Why not revert to firing squads? Oh, right. Hard to find bullets. Well, there seems to be an abundance of rope available. Problem solved!
