@davidicke Authority is the 'moral high ground'? Wife of killer Kenneth Eugene Smith 'cried out' during his historic 22-minute-long nitrogen execution - which witness described as 'horrific' as he thrashed and 'convulsed' on gurney. Since I was a small kid, when capital punishment was still legal in the UK, I have felt it was sick and ridiculous to say killing is wrong and so we are killing you for killing. It's mentally deranged. But doing it this way means that those who sanctioned it should be certified.
