Make 'em see we mean business!
None of these people are right in the head. No one is consciously thinking, "man, I really shouldn't perform this heinous crime or they might kill me!"

Why are they not using cheap sure methods for this?

Tennessee uses pentobarbital for lethal injection, using a single-drug protocol. Death penalty info
Alabama primarily uses lethal injection, which typically involves a three-drug protocol including midazolam, rocuronium bromide, and potassium chloride. Additionally, Alabama has authorized nitrogen hypoxia as an alternative method of execution, which has been used in recent executions. alabama daily news

It’s beyond time to abolish capital punishment in the US. There have been 8000+ people sentenced to death since it was reinstated in the early 70s. About 2000 have been executed. 209 have been exonerated. Not released on technicalities or retried but NOT guilty of the crime they were convicted of. 2.5% of the people the state said committed a crime and sentenced to death? Turns out - not guilty. That may mean 50 of the 2000 executed were also innocent. I know that executing innocent people makes some of you hard as Chinese algebra but for normal people the fact that the state wrongly convicts and sentences 2.5%, at least, of the people they claim were guilty of capital crimes is enough to be concerning to say the least. 1 is too many. 209 out of 8000 is ridiculous

It works 100% of the time for the person that committed the crime.
Maybe if executions were made public it would be more impactful

this is one of two reasons that i am generally anti-death penalty. it isnt really a deterrent.
the other reason is that i jsut dont trust a jury and the government to get it right 100% of the time, and if you are literally killing your own citizens for committing crimes, you HAVE to get it right 100% of the time.

That may be due to the way its carried out along with its relative infrequency. If less than 1% of people who stole cars ever went to prison and, even then, only twenty years later would the likelihood of car thefts go up or down?
Because thats the reality of executions. Virtually nobody convicted of murder actually gets executed and, even then, it's decades later. Not exactly the kind of thing that someone contemplating the act would even really think about these days.

I think the death penalty should change.
If there is evidence without a shadow of a doubt that a person did something, kill them, and kill them with a firing squad right after they walk out of their last appeal court date.
If guilt is debatable to a logical group of people or jury, no death penalty.
The threshold of evidence should be extremely high, and the process for killing them extremely fast.

There are dozens of quick cheap painless and absolutely 100% effective way to execute a person. It doesn’t have to be complicated. But there are legions of far left activist death penalty lawyers who have gotten good at jamming up everything in court, and they have Democrat allies in the legislatures.

Wonder if he purposefully dehydrated himself to make it very difficult to get an IV started? I say that because I have firsthand experience of being dehydrated and having nurses struggle repeatedly to get an IV started. I think they stuck me at least six or seven times before mercifully giving up and having me drink water.

the threshold of evidence for execution must be 100%. that is impossible.
said another way - dont give a fallible government a power that requires it to be infallible.

What is the % of the time it works when the state murders the wrong person 2.5% of the time? I know, I know - people have always loved a good hanging or beheading. It’s is incredibly exciting to imagine the state doing what you are forbidden to do and that is kill someone but for sane people knowing that 2.5% of those convicted of capital crimes since the early 70a, as it turns out, not guilty. Go figure. Having the same people who manage the DMV, the state, executing people, is barbaric.

Yeah there are ways to make it very hard to find a vein.
Just line up 6 shooters, 5 with live rounds, 1 with blanks, and let 'er rip.

Our system has nothing to do with deterrence or rehabilitation. It's about serving justice.
I'm anti-death penalty because our system can get it wrong. Nothing worse in this world than convicting an innocent person. No justice is done in that case, just adding another wrong.

Capital punishment is so rarely used that of course it’s not a deterrent. And on the very rare occasions someone is sentenced to death, activist lawyers fight tooth and nail with the intention of dragging out the process to absurd lengths. It’s nothing to do with the guilt of the person. It’s just the goal of making the punishment process so lengthy and expensive that they can then point to the costs and say “look what a waste of money this is!”
