Judge suggests change to nitrogen execution to let inmate pray and say final words without gas mask
A federal judge who is weighing whether to allow the nation’s first execution by nitrogen hypoxia to go forward next month, urged Alabama on Thursday to change procedures so the inmate can pray and say his final words before the gas mask is placed on his face.
U.S. District Judge R. Austin Huffaker made the suggestion in a court order setting a Dec. 29 deadline to submit information before he rules on the inmate’s request to block the execution. The judge made similar comments the day prior at the conclusion of a court hearing.
Alabama is scheduled to execute Kenneth Eugene Smith on Jan. 25 in what would be the nation’s first execution using nitrogen gas. Nitrogen hypoxia is authorized as an execution method in Alabama, Mississippi and Oklahoma but has never been used to put an inmate to death.
The proposed execution method would use a gas mask, placed over Smith’s nose and mouth, to replace breathable air with nitrogen, causing Smith to die from lack of oxygen.
Person fucking dies that's like the ultimate suffering i can think of, holy fuck killing people can't be made humane no matter how many different methods are used
I don't think you know what the word suffering means.
Physical or mental pain someone experiences dying will definitely be mentally painful if you know its gonna happen and once someone stops responding and the brainwaves go spaz i don't think thats especially nice either not 100% sure as i've never Been braindead
People aren't given the death penalty for giving out flowers and candy.
Yeah 1 in 8 are given it for no reason at all and later exonerated.
agree and i think there are some circumstances where Kipling someone is justified but its never ethical, especially if the Person doesn't Pose a threat anymore
How exactly is something 'justified but not ethical'?
If something saves more people by killing some the action of killing few is unethical however because it saves more the action is just
Everyone poses a threat to everyone. The question is to what extent. Of course, you have no idea what you're talking about, so there's that.
Ad hominem
There are absolutely bigger pains of suffering besides certain deaths.
Have you died yet? its certainly the worst thing i can imagine
Luckily no but there are absolutely things I fear worse than death. To each their own I guess
This i can agree with but for me its death
Fuck you're stupid.
You are and Werke mad of a series of poor choices i don't envie your Patents
You have a very poor imagination.
ad hominem
Well, there isn't anything else of substance to attack, so what passes for your character is the most effective way to let you know what a piece of shit you are.
Arent you the guy who wants to kill people? Like i try to be a pacifist but your steamed turd of a persobality stinks up my house through the screen
Luke, I am your father.
