Beheading. It is gruesome and bloody but evidently quick and relatively painless. In medieval times, people under sentence of death would often pay the executioner to behead them instead of hanging since beheading was viewed as much more preferable.

Is there some reason to use this new method, instead of lethal injection? Seems like that method is both painless and completely effective.

My question is: Why nitrogen and not carbon monoxide?

Rather than call it the “death penalty”, we should call it a punitive abortion. The left loves all kinds of abortions.

It is obvious they decided to put on a show.

Nitrogen is not painful. It would not cause you to thrash about.

Lesson learned…sedate prisoner before administering gas.

His spiritual advisor is an anti-death penalty activist. One might as well trust Nancy Pelosi.

Various drug companies have forbiden the use of their drugs for use in lethal injections.

They basically caved to the anti death penalty crowd.

It shouldn’t take 22 minutes to execute someone

It didn't. This writer made it all up. 5 minutes from the start he was dead. Sadly I know of an industrial "accident" where a guy went into a confined space that was full of argon. That's all it took, and he never felt a thing. Just went to sleep. Such a death is too good for a murderer.

Same, I’m guessing he just held his breath to make a big show of it to trigger this exact conversation that is happening in media now.

Thanks for the info. They made it sound like the guy was writhing for 22 minutes. If the 22 minutes describes the entire procedure than that is reasonable.

There is no right way to do the wrong thing.

Twenty-two minutes.

Ghastly and outrageous.

Not only is this government act unjust double jeopardy, but also looks like cruel and unusual punishment in violation of the 8th Amendment.

Yeah—how much did his victim suffer? I’m sure a lot more than this vermin did.

The supplier of those drugs will not sell to the state.
