After botching a series of executions by lethal injection, the State of Alabama is planning to use nitrogen gas to put condemned prisoners to death. The first execution will amount to a human experiment, because neither Alabama nor any other state has ever tried to kill people this way.
Late last month, prison guards distributed the state’s new execution protocol to prisoners in solitary confinement on Alabama’s death row. One hundred and sixty men and five women await execution in Alabama. They would be secured to a gurney, their nose and mouth would be covered by a mask, and nitrogen would be pumped into their lungs until they suffocate.
Alabama is seeking to conduct the first such experiment on Kenneth Eugene Smith, who already survived a botched execution. Last November, Mr. Smith spent hours strapped to a lethal-injection gurney as the execution team needled around in several locations to insert two intravenous lines without success, before calling off the execution

Ok. I get what you’re saying.
LOL! Great cartoon for the climate change generation.
Seems to me you’re wrong. Why else would he say it?

Not to mention the FACT that “LIFE IN PRISON” means absolutely nothing with todays DA’s and court system!
Life seems to mean “your a bad boy, we will lock you up with a gym with exercise machines, color TV with cable, conjugal visits, 3 good meals a day a warm place to sleep and any other amenities you can think of’.
OH; and by the way, you will be out in 7 years maximum to RAPE, ROB, and MURDER AGAIN.
And people wonder why I take joy in knowing that this subhuman garbage is done away with!
PERMANENTLY!
I know because you're trying to grasp the New Covenant of Grace with your natural carnal mind, which is enmity against God.
Why else would he say it?
Galatians 3:24. Study it. Memorize it. Answers the question why Jesus gave the Old Covenant of the Law to be replaced with the New Covenant of Grace.
You need to study, not skip over, the lion's share of the New Testament which explains what the New Covenant of Grace is all about.
“VENGENCE IS MINE SAITH THE LORD”
And who do you presume to be to say that honest society is not the LORDS instrument in these matters.
I don’t presume to know the LORD GOD’S thinking on these problems, but I don’t really think that GOD would chose to let MURDERERS RUN FREE TO MURDER AGAIN.
And just remember, whether on the street or in prison, KILLERS WILL KILL AGAIN if it suits their purposes.
Well, you go along now and ‘ENJOY’ it.
See what that does for your own soul in the end.
I don’t get joy from anyone’s death.
Also, God's judgement is perfect as He has knowledge we don't have. Man's justice is separate from God's. We can only do our best and protect innocents from evil, that includes other prisoners and guards. "Lifers" have nothing left to lose.....except their life.
Jesus died for and was fully judged and condemned for all of your sins before you ever repented. Same is true for the whole world. 1 John 2:2.
I wouldn’t want to be responsible for the people who have been exonerated while on death row.
Even less would I want to be for those exonerated after execution.
But, I guess it’s all just ‘collateral damage’, and God will sort them out...
And you ignore the point that lifers have nothing left to lose so you are advocating for endangering the lives of other inmates and guards because you think evil also has grace. I strongly disagree.
You have a great evening.
Most of those cases involved DNA after the fact.
Even less would I want to be for those exonerated after execution.
Name someone that DNA cleared after execution.
But, I guess it’s all just ‘collateral damage’, and God will sort them out...
Evil people exist, they would keep killing given the chance, including other inmates and guards. As I clearly stated, man's justice is imperfect but necessary.
Btw, it does happen, yes, but DNA should have been done before executing someone. Sloppy justice shouldn't cancel all justice.
Now wait a minute, one was taught in 7th grade civics class in OKC Daniel Webster Junior Prison that by common law, a botched execution was construed as an act of God and that the condemned was thence given a reprieve of the death sentence.
The example given was a hanging, where the rope breaks and the hangee just falls to the ground.
Did Mister Church tell one wrong?
What’s wrong with a firing squad, Ol’ Sparky, or hanging?
There are lists of MANY people exonerated after execution on the Internet, look it up.
But I don’t know why DNA makes any difference. There were lots of people determined to be innocent after execution before we had DNA forensics. And many cases don’t even have DNA evidence today.
Mistakes range from lying witnesses, prosecutorial misconduct, police incompetence, eyewitness misidentification, and a host of other reasons.

That said, I acknowledged that it happens as I said man's justice isn't perfect.
As for DNA, advances are still being made and now the smallest amount of anything can be analyzed. Again, man's justice isn't perfect but it's what we have.
Hope the rest of your night is peaceful.
