    Which this isn’t, in my opinion. It’s just nicer for the killer and the onlookers. But it’s not a dignified death. If you’re gonna kill people in the name of justice, let them stand up and shoot them.
    If you can’t stomach seeing or doing that, then maybe that should tell you something about the death penalty in general.

      Yea but it’s still better than the ‘lets paralyze you so we feel humane and have your veins be lava for 12 hours as you disintegrate’ evolved option we use.

      I’m right there with you though, how the fuck is it that we don’t just put people under like before surgery, and then cut off their access to oxygen? Or a quick gunshot, or a shot with that cattle killing gun? The whole thing is so fucking stupid to me

      I’m against the death penalty personally, but the whole thing is so unbelievably absurd to me.

      Also, obligatory ayyyy Alabama represent, we made BBC News again

        You need meds for that, and a qualified anesthesiologist.
