“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    It seems weird to base your argument on the grounds that a needlessly cruel ineffective and largely incorrect application of something that has long been scientifically and medically understood means the individuals describing how the mechanism is more humane are suddenly sympathizers…?

    You should feel betrayed not to deceived. Imagine if someone told you that tires can roll and then they produce a square tire that doesn’t roll. Should you really feel deceived that they failed to produce a round tire? That claims that round things roll are therefore wrong?

    It’s well understood that breathing inert gases causes hypoxia and hypoxia is well understood. This man should have been unconscious in less than a minute.

    We shouldn’t have the death penalty to begin with and this is a great example why. Because apparently we just can’t get it right even when getting it right is it literally as easy as filling a chamber with pure nitrogen and ensuring that it’s cycled out…

      See it’s shit like this. For years hypoxia was touted as a humane solution. Now that states are switching to it all of a sudden the argument shifts to how there isn’t any humane solution.

      Goalpost moving.
