2nd-ever nitrogen gas execution in US set to take place in Alabama

Alabama is set to perform the second-ever nitrogen gas execution in the United States on Thursday.

Alan Eugene Miller, 59, was sentenced to death for the 1999 murders of his then-coworkers Lee Holdbrooks and Christoper Scott Yancy, and his former supervisor Terry Lee Jarvis.

Miller was to be executed in September 2022 via lethal injection, but it was called off after officials had trouble inserting an intravenous line to administer the fatal drugs and were concerned they would not be able to do so before the death warrant expired.

Everyone has an army.

Their own or someone elses.

Kind of negates civilized. Because defensive war wouldn't be necessary if everyone were civilized and didn't treat others as less than.

And if pigs had wings they could fly.

Aint going to happen as long as psycopaths like for example putin can get in power.

I knew someone would bring this up. There's some question if Russians in certain regions were being treated in a civilized manner.

Sure, but up until and including today, we need a strong power to project kindness.

It would be nice though ofc.
