Being put to sleep like a veterinarian puts a beloved pet to sleep to take it out of its misery so it does not have to suffer anymore? What about the victim this criminal made suffer

Who's Responsible?

Who killed Davey Moore, why and what's the reason for?

Hang 'em high.

No torture in lethal injection.

But, a good many liberals responsible for the torture of aborted babies.

The murder must take initial responsibility as he is the one that brought on the situation. The Judge and courts are next as they are the ones that hear the evidence and determine guilt. The execution system is last in responsibility. There are many Muslims that would love to execute an American. All they need is a large sharp knife.

lockett returned to the truck because the gun had jammed. He later said he could hear Neiman pleading, “Oh God, please, please” as he fixed the shotgun.
The men could be heard “laughing about how tough Stephanie was” before Lockett shot Neiman a second time.
“He ordered Mathis to bury her, despite the fact that Mathis informed him Stephanie was still alive.”

Having been put under for different medical tests and procedures over the years, one recently, I find it hard to believe there isn’t a way to just knock someone out and then stop their heart.

When I’ve been out, I’ve known absolutely nothing. Wasn’t even aware that I was out. One minute I wasn’t, and then I was.

They should have taken him up to the roof of the prison, and thrown him off.

“If Lethal Injection Is Torture, Who’s Responsible?”

The person who put themselves in the position to be executed by lethal injection is responsible.

(Personally, I think the offal should have been beaten, shot, raped and buried alive, but that’s just me.)

I don’t care either way whether some bloodthirsty murderer suffers. If the death is painful, so long as that pain is not intentional and administered for the purpose of causing pain, I’m okay with that. If the death is quick and painless, I’m also okay with that. I just want these predators completely removed from the universe, so they can never be released, escape, or otherwise gain access to another innocent victim.

There is some interesting data out there indicating that lethal injection actually has a higher rate of “botched” executions than all the other methods.

Except perhaps hanging. In the Old West an inexperienced hangman could result in a slow, gruesome, painful death.

They can put a dog to sleep in seconds, why not get a vet to do the lethal injections, or at least use the drugs the vet uses?

And being painfully dehydrated over a span of weeks, such as what happened to Terri Schaivo is nooooo problem to the people complaining about this “inhumane” execution.

Lockett himself is responsible for any “torture” that occured during his “botched” execution.

The morning of his execution, he opened a vein and had to be tazed and brought on all sorts of problems.

My point is these criminals shouldn't be put to sleep through lethal injection. Perhaps a just punishment would be to punish them to hard labor until they die a slow death. (Notice my emphasis is hard labor)

Got a better idea. Smother them with pure nitrogen. They’ll never en know they’re dying.
Works for animals at slaughterhouses.

Didn’t the libs give us the solution in the Terri Schiavo incident? Starving is humane and even euphoric. Beats injections- eliminates all pain.

There was a woman who recovered from a Schaivo-like state and survived an attempt to starve her to death. She’s now a public speaker - I wish I could remember her name....she said it was excruciating.
