Actually, communal stoning was the normal method in capital punishment in the Bible, which better corresponds to the crime being one against the whole community (even if indirectly), and not simply an individual, in addition to impressing upon the public the gravity of the crime and its consequences (as well as perhaps deterring false testimony), while providing a better sense of justice to the victims than having the state do the dirty work via antiseptic means inside a building.

Yet while there is breath in their bodies, may the murderers (and all) come to repentance and faith in the present savior and future judge of mankind, the risen Lord Jesus, who gave Himself for us, that we may spiritually live thru Him, Thanks be to God.

it’s panic free ... panic is induced by the brain when it senses either inability to inhale (suffocation) OR toxic amounts of CO2 building up in the blood with no way to purge the CO2.... none of that happens during N2 inhalation as the brain is clueless to what’s going on ... one simply passes out from lack of oxygen while breathing normally ...

“What really scares the Leftists here is that Alabama may just prove that Nitrogen works just fine regarding disposal of trash, and thus all the work they’ve been doing to prevent the use of common drugs for executions will be rendered mute.”

indeed ... no physicians needed because not a “medical” procedure such as the case with injectables, and no way to prevent supply because N2 is available as an industrial gas pretty much at all industrial gas supply outfits ...

Damn near did the same ting to myself, was told the tank contained compressed AIR.

Well it wasn’t, it was CO2.

Was in a completely sealed off small boiler room after an abatement job, had my full face mask/PAPR on and was blowing out the burners on the boiler when I started getting stupid and making mistakes.

I realized that I wasn’t getting any oxygen and damn near kicked the door of it’s hinges to get out, to hell with the contamination, it can be cleaned up later.

Should have sued the company that supplied the “COMPRESSED AIR” tank but was just glad to be alive!

That should have been “same thing” not “same ting”, I am not Chinese!

I guess spell check is ok but it certainly doesn’t understand the English Language.

“Fears”? Libtards are afraid that it will actually be painless and effective and will be used to clear the ridiculous backlog in death rows.

My Idea is give the murderer the death he gave his victim

Arizona learned that even cyanide gas isn’t foolproof. It was based on the assumption that the condemned would hold their breath, the inhale a bunch of gas, passing out immediately. However, one inmate just continued to breathe normally. As his skin grew red, a characteristic of “blood agents” like cyanide, he breathed faster and faster, obviously in a great deal of suffocation pain. It took him a LOT longer to die.

I wonder if there is a similar rule for nitrogen?

Don’t worry. This really won’t hurt a bit.
