“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

Pray tell, what is your favourite method of execution?

As a general rule I tend to avoid killing people whenever possible

Obviously. It's far too much work. That's what I pay my executioners for.

Firing squad, guillotine. Walk the plank.
