re: A Bama death row inmate just suffered the longest lethal injection process in U.S history

Put them in a small enclosed space and inject nitrogen into the room. Super painless. They feel zero.

I suspect part of the reason we don’t do this is the increased risk to the staff. If you displace the oxygen from the room, you create a hazardous environment that needs to be properly mitigated before anyone can re-enter.

You should be able to clear the atmosphere fairly easily with some sort of forced ventilation, but then what? Do you rely on permanent O2 monitors in the room to deem it safe for re-entry? Does someone go in with an SCBA first to test the atmosphere? What kind of safety mechanisms are in place to ensure the nitrogen isn’t inadvertently released while people are in the room?

It might sound silly but I can see how something might go wrong from a safety standpoint. Murphy’s Law is a motherfricker.

If nitrogen asphyxiation is used, it probably makes a lot more sense to use a hood or respirator. The safety issues still exist but in a much smaller scale. However, then you have to worry about ensuring there are no leaks.

I think it makes more sense than lethal injection but I can see why states might be hesitant to make the switch.

How can it possibly be this hard to kill someone painlessly?

So much cheaper and effective.

* Put them in a small air tight room.
* Start pulling out the air.
* Pump in nitrogen

Painless and effective as hell.

So...
frick him. The piece of human shite murdered someone.
I wish his fricking death would have been even more excruciatingly painful. If he had not murdered someone, he would be walking around a free man.
Downvote away you fricking bleeding heart simps.

Well it shouldn't be painless.
The more miserable, the better.

Except now you're complicating things by involving the Eighth Amendment. That isn't getting repealed anytime soon, and my point is it should be easy.
