probably don’t want to be touching the guy executed when they throw the switch. he could make the same (stupid) claim.

>> Well heck, just plug in Yellow Mama again and be done with. Just like zapping bugs…

I wonder if they let your “spiritual counselor” lay on hands when they fire up Ol’ Sparky.

“...pure nitrogen inhaled at the right level
will deprive the body of oxygen...”
-
What is the “right level” of “pure nitrogen”?

[Nervous Tick]

>> put hood in a scuba mask and tank. continue as planned.

There ya go. Or even in one of those under-the-nose gas delivery thingies they use at the dentist.

[Red Badger]

Typically 100%.................🤦‍♂️

15 psia. Any lower pressure and the poor thing will be gasping for breath (like his victims probably did).

Too high and he might suffer from the “bends”. :-)

Lets get biblical. tie him up and stone him. Let the spiritual advisor hold his hand then .

[Mr. Blond]

So give the Rev his own oxygen mask.

Knew a guy who entered a N2 inerted water tank. few seconds,, out like a light. guy went in to save him. pushed him up a ladder and then passed out himself and died.

There’s nothing inhumane about it. The problem would be Hoods if he also breathed in some nitrogen as he wants to be close by.

[Celtic Conservative]

200 pounds of tannerite.

"Knew a guy who entered a N2 inerted water tank. few seconds,, out like a light. guy went in to save him. pushed him up a ladder and then passed out himself and died."

What was the purpose of that experiment?

[hanamizu]

I it normal to allow religious advisers to stand be side the condemned during the execution by electric chair, the needle, the firing squad? I think not. So why does he need to be standing next to Kenneth Smith as he breathes his last?

[NorthMountain]

And that’s the funny thing about it. Enter a nitrogen purged chamber and you’re gone before you know what hit you.

In an open environment, you can handle gaseous or liquid nitrogen with near impunity. It’s really difficult to get in trouble with it. The clergyman is in no meaningful danger at all.

[Tell It Right]

Switch it to nitrous oxide and make him laugh himself to death.

[rfp1234]

Murder is hostile to all religions and secular beliefs.

[zeugma]

grasping at straws. Nitrogen is the cleanest way to kill someone there is.

[KarlInOhio]

waiver recognizing the risks that could arise if he were to be within 3 feet of Smith's gas mask

There's a bigger danger zone if they go religiously old school with a stoning.

[Keyhopper]

Put the murderer in the electric chair then let the minister hold his hand.

[Keyhopper]

Yes sir! slowly turn down the O2 and lights out.
