The state plans to carry out the first U.S. execution via nitrogen hypoxia with Kenneth Smith, who survived an earlier attempt to execute him by lethal injection
Death to America, and death to the South in particular. Scorch that motherfucking earth.
Is nitrogen hypoxia the one that doesn’t trigger the feeling of suffocation? Redditors love that shit because it lets them claim it’s painless and feel good about the prison system murdering people.
Am I missing something obvious as to why they don’t use firing squads? Is it a matter of “optics” or so whoever’s making the lethal* injection juice can sell at a huge markup?
it also denies the murdered prisoner a bit of dignity imo, instead of standing, cursing his killers its this medicalized byzantine ritual
The death penalty is so weird in America. Most young people think we should get rid of it. But old fuckers love it. I have heard on multiple ocasions in the bible belt that ‘eye for an eye’ is a good system. America is in the dark ages
It’s a better form of execution than lethal injection but death penalty should be reserved for billionaires and fascists post revolution.
With billionaires, take away their money and let them pick a working class job. If they’re really some big brain business genius they’ll rise up the ranks soon enough. If not, they won’t. Make it a reality TV show.
Make it a reality TV show.
This would be the best post revolution show! Trap all the billionaires in a Truman Show-like similacrum of late stage capitalism without any of the advantages they were birn with and watch them as they slowly discover they will never become billionaires again
If I were getting executed I would prefer to just be shot in the head and die like a person. I still don’t get why the US has to do all these looney toons ass methods of execution. Is it to strip away any small bit of dignity from the prisoner?
The US has a bizarre fascination with trying to murder people “ethically”.
