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

I recall an outpatient surgery I had in my 30's. The stuff they gave me intravenously before they gave me the stuff that conked me out made me feel REAL good... like a wonderful floaty high. I didn't care 'what' they were going to do.
Seems to me that if these guys were really that concerned about humanely executing prisoners... they would use this method of rendering them unconscious and then inject the killing solution into their veins. The prisoner would first feel a real good high and then nothing.
But we know that the left's "inhumane" whines are all BS, like everything else they whine and lie about and spew. They don't like the idea of Lady Justice killing off more of their supporters. Most prisoners lean Democrat. It's all (always) about the rats protecting "their own".
Jail survey: 7 in 10 felons register as Democrats

Hypoxia is a potentially deadly condition that can occur in aviation (or in Alabama). Hypoxia can occur during flight at high altitudes and can affect pilots and passengers alike. There are four types of hypoxia, each with its own unique cause. Hypoxic Hypoxia occurs when a lack of oxygen is available to the body. This can happen when there is a decrease in the partial pressure of oxygen at high altitudes.So the bastard will be sent off in a euphoric state -- funny how the article does not mention that. It would be far better for him to face a firing squad and soil his skivvies.The signs and symptoms of hypoxia can vary from person to person, but some common ones include the following:
Many people’s first symptom is a feeling of euphoria that gives them a false sense of security.
- A feeling of euphoria
- Confusion or disorientation
- Headache
- Cyanosis (when your lips and fingernails turn blue)
- Drowsiness
- Impaired judgment
- Loss of consciousness
- Dizziness
- Tingling
- Tunnel vision
- Limp muscles
I’d say firing squad.
Simple cheap effective.
Set up a bunch of rifles in rests.
Let victims/ families pull cords for the triggers. One rifle contains a blank. So, there will be a question as to who did/ did not kill the perp.
Is it more or less horrible than ruining people’s lives because of their political beliefs, holding them without due process and denyibg them fair trials in kangaroo court then sentencing them to years in prison for tresspassing? Because the federal government has been in that business recently.
Ok, I’m not getting something here. Sadly, a number of times, due to terminal illness or old age (losing their back legs) I had several of my dogs euthanized. Prior to the fatal injection, they were given a sedative (by injection). The process was peaceful of them and for me and my husband. Why is this so difficult when it comes to humans? I just don’t get it.

Use helium instead. Their last words will always make you laugh ;-)
If the idea of execution is to serve as a deterrent to make other, potential, criminals to stop and think before they do something stupid, why the attempt to make the execution “more comfy”? After all, they’re going to be dead in a few minutes anyway. If you really want to deter someone, make the penalty as horrific as possible...make it a teachable moment that is going to give people pause.
Just shoot ‘em...Get it over with....
What about old sparky? Mayne even use wind power?
Rock paper scissors.
Gender of defendants on death row
See also: List of women on death row in the United States
Male: 2,281 (97.85%)
Female: 50 (2.15%)[1]
Comparatively, 50.8% of the U.S. population is female, and 49.2% is male (USCB 2018).

Here’s a way to handle capital murder sentencing going forward:
Ship all such prisoners to a South Sea Island. Currently there are 2,331 of them with 50 of them being female.
Leave tools such as shovels, rakes, hammers etc
Fly over once a month and drop food and meds.
Some would try escaping and sharks would get them. Some of the rest would starve due to not being willing to work in vegetable gardens.
Others would be killed fighting over the 50 women. Some of the women would be killed fighting over the remaining women.
Billions would be saved on prisons and prison guards. Apply that to the national debt.
A lethal injection can be bungled if the Doctor cannot find a good vein. Many of these people have damaged veins from when they used to inject recreational drugs.
The easiest of execution methods to go by.
To improve the experience, maybe they can include the scent of baking cookies.
Rope works
also fast moving chunks of lead...
If that doesn’t work, feed them to the Iron Maiden.
As usual, the new York slimes is full of crap.
Completely humane.
Horrible? Wouldn’t you pass out before you suffocate?
Just isolate the entire Death Row wing of the prisons, both men and women, and pump in nitrogen? get rid of all of them at once.
