The high court allowed the execution of James Barber despite botched attempts to execute other inmates last year.

    Seriously. The attempt at “humane” execution via lethal injection is selfish and asinine.

    The kindest way to kill someone is by shooting them, but that doesn’t look very nice.

    Obviously neither should be allowed under the constitution, but it’s laughably selfish to force the death sentence via lethal injection because the people doing the killing would be traumatized otherwise.

      Exactly. Especially because lethal injection goes wrong so damn often, and ends up being traumatic for everyone involved.

      Killing with a needle while wearing a white coat is just theatre, meant to make us feel civilized when deep down we know it’s impossible to kill with civility.
