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.

    I’m not vegan. But I’m also not a hypocrite.

    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?

        Like I said, I’m not vegan. I just enjoy acknowledging when huge numbers of people reach grossly irrational conclusions.

          Sounds like Soylent Green with less steps. I’d prefer not giving wealthy industrialists more ideas.
