Note, while its not clear if the man was actually conscious during this fit (could've been involuntary spasms in reaction to the drugs that happened when man was unconscious), I refuse to get worked up over the possibility that a murderous maniac felt pain during his execution.
Who cares.
He killed someone and you are concerned about how he felt when he died?
The SOB is damn lucky that he was not subjected to the same treatment as his victims.
Proud to live in a country that sanctions state-sponsored murder, are you?

while i recognize the fact that there are innocent people in prison, and on death row, and that we do need to do our bet to prevent situations like that, the fact is that the people on death row committed, or were convicted, crimes like murder that warrant the death penalty. this is not murder but rather punishment. the person in question for instance beat a clerk and then shot him to death. where was the compassion by the criminal for the clerk?
why are some of you standing up for the criminal in question? HE MURDERED AN INNOCENT PERSON. he deserves to die, and in my opinion not in a so called civilized manner either. personally i think he should have been put to death in a similar manner to the way he KILLED the clerk. he should have been pistol whipped, and then shot to death. instead he got off easy with lethal injection.
To keep him from killing other people. That's why cops carry guns. Plus if the death penalty is government sanctioned killing then isn't prison government sanctioned kidnapping?
And what of the innocent people sitting on death row?
Imprisoning someone doesn't kill them and if a mistake is made, we can release that person. Not so with the death penalty.
With a firing squad of a guillotine, you could at least harvest their organs to use for transplants. That way they could be parted out to save lives to make up for those they've taken.
