painless executions are not mandated by law.
Where did we get the idea it should be painless?
still amazes that these bozos aren’t using the FREE and endless supply of fentanyl that is available from any police station anywhere USA.
“Very little is known about the new drug…”
That’s a lie. It’s been available since the 1930s.

It’s not a “death penalty”. It’s JUSTICE.
I hope they’re not just limited to executions!
I want a firing squad. If it was good enough for Gary Gilmore, it’s good enough for me.
What does everyone have against ROPE??
It’s reusable energy. Zero carbon footprint.
As an officer ret’d I would choose a firing squad.
If I had to choose, (hopefully never!) Firing Squad would be for me.
Less chance of having electrical/ mechanical problems.
Less chance of being unable to find the right vein or correct titration of drugs.
Perhaps the most reliable way to die is to have one’s freedoms taken away, little by little,
to owe more and more to an unaccountable government,
to “own” things covered in stamps, permissions, permits, and proofs-of-payment,
to be lied to repeatedly by a self-serving media élite,
to spend money on things that weren’t made by my neighbors or fellow citizens,
money taxed before and after I spend, taxed and taxed like my shoes, my asphalt, the dirt on “my land,”
to be robbed of the opportunity to educate my children,
and to be harassed, year after year, for presuming to enjoy the last vestiges of my freedom,
as I light a backyard leaf-fire wondering is the SWAT team will invade,
or espouse traditional marriage wondering is I will lose custody,
or ponder posting other terrible, criminal acts, like failing to wear a seat-belt, on this public forum,
while remembering and longing for days––distant, haunting days––in which I seemed to have been a free man, living among free men.
Now THAT would be a death sentence!
Hanging has a certain old West charm to it.
You murderers think this is cruel and unusual punishment?
Fine, then. We will kill you the way you killed your victim/victims.
Nothing indicates a painless or stressless death. Hemp rope still works. It just needs to be used within two months of the “Guilty” verdict.
Ecclesiastes 8:11 When the sentence for a crime is not speedily executed, the hearts of men become fully set on doing evil.
All persons in the past who killed a President got the noose within two months after the sentence.
Am I wrong?
If they insist on death being painless I suggest the criminal be held under water for 30 minutes.
Executing a SOB that murdered people in almost all ways is neither cruel, nor unusual.
Personally, hanging is cheap and reusable; or bullets are cheap
Bullets are cheaper and quicker.
About time.
It isn't for the murder victim.
No sympathy for the murderer.
