20 minutes sounds about right to me, considering.
Actually capital punishment is to protect society from people who have already committed at least one murder. If they can’t live within society they need to be removed.
Yes. Exactly.
I agree. Capital punishment isn’t about revenge, it’s about protecting society.
I hear that for about 10 seconds, the eyes can still see, and they feel pain, which I don't care about, but maybe people have picked up the head, and showed him his body laying over there. Talk about torture, but then again, I don't care. Is that sadistic or what? I call it poetic justice.
APparently, the AP fudge factor is to multiply by two. The key word in both stories is "APpeared" to gasp. Given the drug mixture, he is unlikely to have been conscious.
The convulsions are a reflex, reported by anti-death penalty concern trolls, who're horrified by the "slow, agonizing death" of an unconscious convicted murderer, on death row just two years shy of the total time his victim was alive.
Faster, please.
Next time just shoot him.
I have an idea. Let’s tell them the pentobarbitolal is for a gay execution. Then if they refuse, the state Supreme Court will FORCE them to do business with the gay customer.
Problem solved.
Thank you! Should rape him and kill him how?
Sounds like the firing squad is as fast as a speeding bullet.
I’ve had drugs knock me out for a couple of medical things in the past, and I was gone in just a few blinks and had no idea what they did to me at that time.
They could have cut my head off at the time, and I wouldn’t have known it til I woke up and saw myself still lying on the bed.
Drawers filling with poop is about dying, not hanging. With no live brain the muscles relax, as does the bladder, and if there’s anything in there it’s evacuated.
I agree with faster. We should tell those against the death penalty that they are inflicting cruel and unusual punishment by making convicted prisoners wait 20 years and having to daily contemplate death and when it will come.
If it were election day, he could have voted for Obama five times.
Now someone else will have to vote using his name.
You may be on to something!
Hanging, guillotine, okay! But if it takes longer for these evil subordinant pieces of human excrement to die, knowing they are dying, and going to hell, so be it. I am all for it. What was humane about what they did to their victims? Why do we have to be more than humane now when we kill the bastards for what they did?
The "gasping" looks bad but isn't being done by a conscious individual. People in comas and all kinds of other states of awareness have traumatic gasping before they die. It doesn't mean they're in pain.
The Democrats probably have people already lined up.
Remember Carlin’s bit about cleaning off the injection site with alcohol, before administering the lethal injection.
“What, they’re afraid that he’s going to get an infection???”
Exactly. I wouldn’t say I want it to be torturous, but I’m not all that concerned about it. Besides, how hard is this? Half the people in the can are in there because they were fighting the system to try to get high. Give the guy about 100cc’s of Dilaudid and call it a day. Then how are all these idiots going to claim it’s cruel?
I’m not losing any sleep. How long did it take the pregnant newlywed that was raped and stabbed to die?
