I hear bullets don't hurt at all. Ask him afterwards.

Helium asphyxiation is just as effective and makes for much funnier last words.

“Kenneth Smith is set to be executed with NITROGEN by Alabama prison after killing preacher’s wife in 1988”

FAKE NEWS - Nitrogen is already 78% of the Earth’s atmosphere, far more than Carbon Dioxide, for example. Increasing it a bit is NOT going to kill anyone.

I am holding out for “Old Sparky” and not more than 9 months after the trial.

[Gay State Conservative]

Ten bucks says that some Osama Obama appointee will stop this claiming that it’s “cruel and unusual”.

[Bubba_Leroy]

Bring back hanging. It is a low cost method of execution that is well tried and effective.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

The body’s regulatory systems are going to be screaming “More air” (i.e., “more oxygen”) and no matter how hard he breathes the body will be shrieking “more air”. I think this would be a horrific way to go. Panic will set in.

There is probably a heavy dose of sedative to stop that reflex.

Hanging or a bullet to the brain would be far more humane. Even gas would be a lot faster and less painful.

[Jyotishi]

They should call it “death by oxygen deprivation”.

1988? He’s had 35 years more of life than his victim. Swift and certain punishment strikes again.

[fortes fortuna juvat]

People want to know: What the hell took so long?

[where's_the_Outrage?]

I think murderers should be put to death with the same method that they killed their victim(s).

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Did Alabama run out of black people to execute? Blacks comprise the overwhelming
majority of Alabama's death row. Statistically it seems improbable that a white guy shows up.

Anyway, he did the crime, now he has to pay. No loss.
What happened to the preacher who hired this killer?

Dry ice in an enclosed room almost got me twice. Power was out so we kept walk in coolers cold with dry ice. The CO2 displaces the oxygen. Kill floors for Pigs uses CO2.

[IAGeezer912]

Drop him in the ocean 50 miles off shore and chum the water for sharks.

[glennaro]

They could also use carbon dioxide instead of nitrogen, but then there's global warming or climate change or whatever the phrase du jour to consider. Wouldn't want the convicted murderer to endanger the Earth on his way out now, would ya?

Just starve him to death, I heard it’s “euphoric”.

[libh8er]

It won’t be painless death, not to say he deserves one. Breathing nitrogen will be no different than breathing any other inert gas like , say CO2. Think breathing into a plastic bag. It will hurt for a while until he passes out.

[Fiji Hill]

death by nitrogen hypoxia - forcing him to breathe only nitrogen, depriving them of oxygen and causing them to die.

They should bring back public hanging. That also causes death from lack of oxygen.

[rottndog]

35 years for the victim to get justice.

Justice delayed is justice denied.

This is obscene.
