Alabama is set to perform the second-ever nitrogen gas execution in the United States on Thursday.

Alan Eugene Miller, 59, was sentenced to death for the 1999 murders of his then-coworkers Lee Holdbrooks and Christoper Scott Yancy, and his former supervisor Terry Lee Jarvis.

Miller was to be executed in September 2022 via lethal injection, but it was called off after officials had trouble inserting an intravenous line to administer the fatal drugs and were concerned they would not be able to do so before the death warrant expired.

    1. Human beings are literally animals.
    2. Innocent animals deserve to live; murderers don’t.
    3. Let’s eat murderers instead of animals.

    Human animals who murder other animals for food get to keep doing it —> murderers get to die for a good cause. Everyone’s happy!

      You remind me of the time I was marching to protest the Iraq war in Los Angeles and, as the procession of thousands walked by, there was a guy on the sidelines with a bullhorn yelling, “HOW CAN YOU BE AGAINST WAR IF YOU’RE OKAY EATING ANIMALS?”

      I’m guessing the number of people he converted to veganism after that was similar to the, I am guessing, zero people you converted to veganism with your comment.

      Read the room, buddy.

        I’m not vegan. Just pointing out the obvious.

        War is bad because it consigns millions of innocent creatures to death and suffering.

        Factory farming is bad because it consigns BILLIONS of innocent creatures to death and suffering per year.

        How do you wrap your tiny morally imbecilic mind around the former but not the latter?

      I can be against more than one thing.

      I think I can add government sanctioned prion disease to that list.

      Are you okay?

        I’m trying to help meat eaters out of their dilemma. They murder innocent animals but complain about killing evil animals. They eat the former but not the latter.

        Yeah, but most of the sea animals deserve to be eaten. Trust me, I’m a squid. Fuck those guys, they’re a bunch of Nazis. You ever read the literature flounders put out? It’s some ugly, ugly stuff.

        Also, did you know that oysters are pearl-hoarders? Do you think they ever pay taxes on those pearls?
