Oklahoma to explore Execution by Nitrogen Asphyxiation

In the wake of a horrific botched execution via lethal injection earlier this year, an Oklahoma politician is asking the state to consider a completely new method of killing condemned prisoners: nitrogen gas.
State lawmakers on Tuesday held a hearing to discuss the proposal, first raised by State Rep. Mike Christian (R). The process would involve prisoners being placed in a sealed chamber or donning a gas mask that gradually replaces oxygen with nitrogen, resulting in hypoxia — or oxygen deprivation.
"I think it's groundbreaking, I think it's innovative, I think it's going to be efficient and practical," Christian said. Christian previously proposed bringing back the firing squad, but determined nitrogen would be more humane and foolproof.
In April, the state executed Clayton Lockett using an untested drug cocktail. Lockett writhed on a gurney for 43 minutes before dying.

I'm praying this catches on in death penalty states and its the way to go. We should be using nitrogen asphyxiation or hypoxia. Two very painless forms of execution, you just breathe and then drift off to sleep and never wake up. It's unbelievable they aren't used for the DP. It'd prevent a mess like what we have making the rounds through the courts now these days.

It doesn't bother me that they may suffer a little bit.

Well, both firing squad and nitro are pretty painless and over with quickly, one just happens to be a lot messier and the other cleaner and just a deep sleep.

When done properly, firing squad, hanging, and guillotine are all quick and painless. I've always thought the psychological factor of the mess created by the guillotine would be a better deterrent than any currently used methods. Assuming we believe the death penalty is supposed to be a deterrent to potential criminals of course.

Nitrogen would be ideal for this purpose. People would lose consciousness very quickly and die painlessly.

I think we should bring back hanging, the guillotine or the firing squad. Anyone of which I would be fine with.

I think people should be drawn and quartered again like back in the Middle Ages. Could be a deterrent.

Awesome! I had not read the thread when I posted my comment.

DP is simply stupid in practice. Looks good on paper, but fails in practice.

How many executed people ever killed again?
Posted on 9/18/14 at 12:09 am to Itismemc
None. Of course many of them were completely innocent but who gives a shite about that right?

Yes the mess would be pretty big, but the bigger the blocks the less you would see after the fact.
