“Agreed. Instead of a gas chamber why not a slow hypoxia chamber? Pump the air out little by little. No drugs, no fake ‘reactions,’ no potential errors by personnel. Nobody survives a near vacuum.”

NO!, pump IN CO2, we have too much of it anyway.

After say 5 years on death row, EXECUTE them (by whatever means). They may continue all appeals posthumously.

“Let’s think about the taxpayers, here. Bullets and electricity cost money.”

Well if you want to go there......
What say we have a lottery. An executioners lottery. One hundred dollars gets your name in the hat.
If your name is pulled you get to use your own weapon and ammunition.
You want to try out that new AR-15? Go for it!
Have a favorite shotgun? Do the deed!
M16? M14? AK variants? Black powder?
Its all good!

The government supplies the condemned, We The People supply the means of dispatching said condemned to the afterlife.

Meself would probably plink the soon to be departed with a .22.

Nitrogen asphyxiation is easy cheap

A plastic port-o-potty and a tank of nitrogen, available at welding supply shops everywhere.

Might have to be Ultra High Purity N2?

Would not want anyone exposed to evil hydrocarbons.

Nitrogen asphyxiating is just that, painless and efficient. There should be ZERO issues with that method but for some reason it hadn’t gained much traction, IMO likely from previous “gas chamber” issues.

"SC should hang them instead."

Hangings good... Probably painless enough and inexpensive..

And we were just considering moving to SC for retirement.

If you live in the northern part of the US, you'll love SC, especially the southern part.

Nice weather year 'round.

SC is one of the reddest states in the nation.

And you can be added to the South Carolina ping list at no charge :)

I’m an advocate for public hanging. Deterent effect & the person being hanged has a while to think about it while on their way to the gallows & waiting for the drop. When you read about what/how these criminals have deprived victims of their most precious possession which is life, lethal injection is way too easy.

I was just thinking of a medical face mask that covers the mouth and nose. Then just throw it out.

"What about gas?"

Some time back the Russians made a gas out of fentanyl and used it to whack a bunch Croatians (?). Word was they just fell asleep and never woke again.

I was just about to post the same thing. Are these people idiots? N2 hypoxia is about as euphoric and painless as it can get and it’s quick. They’re out in seconds. Dead in a few minutes. It most certainly isn’t cruel and unusual. It’s cheap. You can pick of nitrogen anywhere. I swear, we’re governed by imbeciles.

Yeah, but I prefer to string it out for my own amusement. And .22 long rifle doesn’t cost much.

“Why not just OD them on morphine? This is the most contrived “crisis” ever invented.”

Use illegal Fentanyl.

And then charge the family for the bullet.

I’m with you... Public hangings with all the kiddos there to watch what happens when you screw up. One problem... There is no one left alive who knows how to do it properly. It’s been historically known to go bad if not done correctly.
