In the plant where I worked a guy died from nitrogen hypoxia. It was witnessed. He was talking, then rolled his eyes up, and fell over unconscious. It was painless and he never knew what hit him. Certainly less painful then guys trying to start ivs with needles. Don't fall for the histrionics. It's humane.

.50 cal to the head, no pain and no suffering.

I don’t want the State to be able to poke a citizen with needles for four hours, then have the opportunity to botch another execution attempt.

You wouldn't be saying that if you were the one having to do it. Prison staff have to scrape the burnt flesh off of the electrodes and clean up body fluid from the chair and floor afterwards. There's a very good reason it isn't used anymore. It's a disgusting experience for those having to carry it out. The inmate gets out easy if everything is working properly. Braindead in a fraction of a secondbefore any pain can be felt. It's far worse for the staff.
Nitrogen is the the method that should have been used for many years now. It's extremely fast, painless, and no mess for prison staff.

And I don't want people killing Preacher's wives for hire... yet here we are.
(see, I can bold stuff too)
Carry out his sentence and get it over with.

Why do so many of you make such ignorant statements? Two minutes on Google would show you this is the most peaceful execution method imaginable.
Lethal injection is supposed to be peaceful, too. That’s the point.

Alabama could not be trusted to reliably carry out his execution without an unacceptable risk of unnecessary torture in violation of the Eighth Amendment.
Torture? Trying 3-4 times to find a good vein because the fricker intentionally dehydrated himself prior to his execution is hardly torture.

No one does. The death penalty obviously doesn’t stop this from happening.

He won't ever be able to kill anyone again, that's for damn sure.

Does life in prison stop it?
Posted on 1/22/24 at 12:07 pm to roadGator
Nope. Incarceration doesn’t prevent crime.

He can’t kill anyone again anyway. He’s in prison.
ETA. Ok. He can’t kill another preacher’s wife ever again.

Clearly. That’s why there are so many repeat offenders. Jail is no big deal to them.

Did they think to start an intraosseous line?

Sure he can. Being in prison in no way stops him from killing.
At any rate...
The object of justice is not to rehabilitate or create some new person, but rather to balance the scales of justice. And sometimes the only way to do that is to give the offender his just deserts: capital punishment.

No it isn't. Every method was experimental the first time.

quote:There’s a Louisiana case on-point. Back when the electric chair was carried around the state for executions. State had a drunk dude set it up, they strapped the guy in, but it wouldn’t kill him. They turned it off, and he filed writs to the USSC. Argument was that the sentence was one killing, not multiple. Writs were denied, and they tried again a few days later. Era was 1940s IIRC. Convicted man was likely innocent. I have a book about it in my office—can’t remember his name offhand.
What is the legality of trying (and failing) to execute someone

I hate ineptitude.

They sure are trying to scare people away from this simple and painless way of neutralizing predators.
Air tight chamber, pump nitrogen in. Wait and hour. Done.
