Honestly much better than lethal injection. Lethal injection is slow and tortuous but looks less violent.
I'd rather be give a fuck ton of herion and ran over with a bulldozer. If that's not available chop my head off
It sounds pretty freakin cruel to me but I'll just post this quote and link:

I'd assume with the spine severed like that you wouldn't feel much pain.
Plus with lethal injection it's common for it to take hours. Just sitting their slowly drowning as your lungs fill with fluid. I'll take the 25 to 30 seconds

The giant meat tenderizer is a nice touch.
I'll just take that heroin od
Yeah, I've overdosed before, it's a swift, painless slide into the dark.
Username checks out.
Yeah. But I'm clean now and still alive to regret that particular incident, could be worse
Edit - I wanted to bring it back in a witty way to your username checking out too but fuck me it's beyond my ability
Sorry for being late, but fucking go you! I look forward to limiting my vices at least as much as you.
Edit: and you totally could've done something with hemorrhoids for other homie's un
Dammit! You're right, there was definitely a hemorrhoids joke there . . . isn't it always the way that you never get the idea until way too late!
Yeah don't give me too much applause - I will still have an occasional pipe of crack, maybe once every couple of months. Because I fuckin like it and that's that. I'm getting too old for that shit though -my smart watch gives me an unusual heartbeat warning when I do stimulants. I also still drink too much, I still smoke cigarettes and the occasional joint, I still have a shitty diet. These are things I need to change. But yeah, I don't do smack anymore. It was part of my life for many wasted years. It took me way too long to finally quit. But I did it. . . and so can you. Probably better than me. The rest of my stuff is a work in progress - though I am finding I feel better the next day if I go to sleep sober.
I don't wanna give you advice because we all different people with different shit. What worked for me might not be right for you. And I'm no fuckin guru! I'd just say pick a date and stick to it. Don't beat yourself up about relapses, just get back on that wagon and keep going. And get whatever medical and social support you can. All the best mate
Mfer, you went hard in the paint didn't ya?
I moved from South FL(easy coke) to middle of nowhere America(meth land).
You know how they say "meth not even once."? Well in my case it's meth not even three times. That shit sucks!
Username fucks out(hole).
I'm convinced lethal injection was intentionally designed to be agony, and torture. There are too many accounts by eyewitnesses of it not being peaceful, and painless.
Létal injection work well in theory
The problem is, skilled people don’t want to do it. And pharmaceutical companies don’t want their products used in it. So it’s done by unskilled people with a reduced access to products.
Mainly because the drugs administered as anesthesia and loss of consciousness weren't enough and people botched them in myriad ways, from my current understanding.
Exactly. The protocol was written by somebody with no medical training. So the first drug knocks the person out, the second drug paralyzes them, and the third drug stops the heart. Problem is, the third drug if given to a conscious person is incredibly painful. This created situations where the first drug was dosed wrong, so the person woke up but was unable to move.
Lethal injection could be much better done with a single drug system, like a massive overdose of barbiturates, but I think there is an unspoken desire to avoid any death that might be considered 'pleasant". Which to be honest is completely barbaric in my opinion.
You're not seeing the forest for the trees.
It was ALWAYS intended to not be enough.
I saw it and thought it was plain to see.
My bad, then.
No worries. It was opaque and others may have needed to understand.
Copy that. Have a good one.
Thank you. You too.
Afaik the process itself is fine, but it involves things like starting an IV and dosing, and people who are skilled in those kinds of things tend not to be the kind of people who are okay with assisting in an execution. So, the ones who end up doing it are basically cops with a syringe, and -big shock- fuck it up cuz they're either too stupid to do it correctly or too evil to want to.
I think this applies more widely than just doctors. As a pilot, I could design an execution protocol using nitrogen that would be dirt cheap and totally painless. Any other pilot could write the same one. But I wouldn't do it, not if you paid me a million dollars. There are too many cases of innocent people getting executed, so I want nothing to do with any of it. Our judicial system is good, but it is not good enough to be relied on for taking life. So I would do nothing to help justify or condone or make tolerable the act of executing prisoners.
Also, this execution is a perfect example. Three bullets to the heart should kill someone dead in seconds. But the article mentions him crying out and flexing for the better part of a minute. That makes me think all three executioners missed the heart, perhaps on purpose.
You're more of an optimist than me.
Holy shit, now that might be the first time anyone's accused me of that.
Misery loves company I guess. /internet-hug from one dejected motherfucker to another.
Bro, I'm so deep in a depression hole right now. Thanks, I appreciate it.
have another
hug
👍
Warriors have hearts, too...
That's not a good story... Ask if they have a mallet!
