How was it “botched”? Did the condemned man live?

Replace “botched” with “successful”.

NBC has not detailed the atrocities committed by the Oklahoma monster.

Well, the media is saying that the initial effort at execution didn’t work well. As I recall, the guy had a heart attack while they were trying again to do the lethal injection.

Nobody ever talks about what these guys did, to get on death row in the first place.

It wasn't "botched." The operation was a success. The patient died, just like he was supposed to.

I think the objective was to kill him relatively painlessly. By that measure, it was a failure.

“Oh well.”

Such an unappreciative attitude!

Had that murderer been fed to hogs, they would have grunted a slobbery “Thanks!”

Hogs - Green executions done at a profit with never a ‘failure’.

A $0.25 12-gauge shotgun blast to the chest from a distance of about five feet would be instantaneous death and quite painless.

He shot his victim several times with a shotgun then buried her still alive.

Public hanging at noon in front of the Court House!

No "shielding of the youth" either as they seem to be the ones behaving in ways that defy humanity!

Everyone who wants to "see justice" done for their family (no more 20 year "appeals process" either), kidnapped, raped, murdered, will feel some relief that the perps finally had their "day of reckoning."

Any good anesthesiologist could do this with no botches. Even a good Veterinary doc could with the same drugs they use to put down our aging and dying LOVED Pets. They feel no pain, just simply go to sleep, and never wake up.

A more pleasant way to go that this child went. IF you believe these animals should be removed make the call to our governor!

Ashley ‘Nikki’ Read, get the justice that 2 juries have handed down. ALL APPEALS have run out.

TN Gov email is bill.haslam@tn.gov
615 741-2001

This CHILD RAPIST HAS RUN OUT OF ALL 20 YRS OF APPEALS, TN GOV Halsam still has NOT SET AN EXECUTION DATE OR SIGNED A DEATH WARRANT, EMAIL HIM TO DO SO bill.haslam@tn.gov 615 741-2001

This is 20 years of appeals. 24 YRS SINCE THE CRIME. TOOK ONLY THE DNA TO PROVE WHO DID IT, #1 SUSPECT. DNA & confession proved he raped, strangled to death with her OWN SHOE LACES 8 year old Ashley ‘Nicki’ Read and then threw her body in the river. Even helped hunt for what was thought to be a missing child.

They deliberately obfuscate the crimes committed. No one is allowed to know anything about the victim or what really happened. Then the pigs bleat over their favored monster of the moment. The media is pure evil.

The problem with the death penalty is the fact that if you make a mistake and execute the wrong person, its too late to correct it later.

There is also the issue of giving the folks we are so fond of here, namely, government officials, the power to terminate a life.

Power in the hands of the government is like matches in the fingers of a child.

So since Lockett’s victim was alive when he buried her, was her murder ‘botched’?

Kind of makes me think these are being botched on purpose...

These actions by the Left are not targeted at the American public.

They are targeted at weak-kneed state politicians, executives at drug companies, and the Judiciary.

If they can shut down the supply of drugs, or convince enough judges that using them is “cruel and unusual”, the politicians won’t have the stones to bring back firing squads or the electric chair.

Game, set, match. The Left gets what it wants. Despite the fact that the vast majority opposes it.

Did Obamacare teach us NOTHING?
