Arizona inmate dies nearly 2 hours after execution began; lawyers say he was gasping, snorting

This attempt to make executions induce less suffering with "science" will never be as painless as the science of steel.

Not to mention that lethal injection meets the standard of "Cruel and Unusual" far better than a firing squad ever did.

He lived two hours longer than he was supposed to. What's the big fucking deal?

Blah blah blah cruel blah blah blah death penalty blah blah blah.

Why don't we use firing squads, again?

For fuck's sake, how hard is it to kill someone?
And who really cares? This is just more anti-death penalty propaganda.

I agree with the Death Penalty.

I'm against death penalty myself, not because I believe on the sick fuck's human rights or any of that bullshit. Just because I think getting imprisoned for life makes for a better punishment.

That's a fair point. Certainly imprisoning him for life is more harsh, but it is also an expense to taxpayers.

Actually, with all the appeals and stuff a person on Death Row can make, it costs more to kill them than to give them a life sentence. This guy was appealing for 25 years.

They would be parasites, torture them until bored then kill them.

COOL STORY BRO

They should be killed as soon as the sentence is handed down. A death sentence is non-negotiable.

I think an inmate should be allowed to request a firing squad, because after enough fuck-ups with the lethal injections, eventually a death-row inmate is going to say "Lethal injection, fuck that, just shoot me."

The criminal justice system is designed with the idea that convicting the innocent is far worse than pardoning the guilty, and understands its own fallibility. Remember, nearly two percent of people sentenced to death are later exonerated.
