Medical personnel in attendance said he was comatose and feeling no pain. Just took a while to die.

Exactly. This is what Woods did:

INMATE 086279 - WOOD, JOSEPH R.

Never mind all that crap about innocence and guilt, but just to show you I'm not unreasonable, I'll personally abort every fetus convicted of a capital crime.

Lets see, Woods is snoring and then he is dead. I hope I go as peaceful as him.

If one thinks of the penalty as a deterrent, why do they applaud adding elements of sadism to it? What is mentally wrong with such posters? I wonder how many violent crimes they have committed.

We have a hero sitting in a Mexican jail and this convicted killer sentenced for 2 murders suffered a little bit BUT his victims suffered way longer and heir families suffered for years!

Really why should we even care. I'm glad our tax payers money is no longer to this guy's medical, food, appeals, lawyers, etc.

True. These people would be thrilled to have public hangings, hey, maybe stonings...whipping, flogging, let's satisfy sadistic blood lust and vengeance---that's the American way right?

“The mood and temper of the public in regard to the treatment of crime and criminals is one of the most unfailing tests of the civilisation of any country. A calm and dispassionate recognition of the rights of the accused against the state and even of convicted criminals against the state, a constant heart-searching by all charged with the duty of punishment, a desire and eagerness to rehabilitate in the world of industry of all those who have paid their dues in the hard coinage of punishment, tireless efforts towards the discovery of curative and regenerating processes and an unfaltering faith that there is a treasure, if only you can find it in the heart of every person – these are the symbols which in the treatment of crime and criminals mark and measure the stored up strength of a nation, and are the sign and proof of the living virtue in it.” “The most frightful of all spectacles is the strength of the civilization without its mercy.”

Winston Spencer Churchill

I think it's funny! I think they should sell tickets or do Pay-per-view for executions.

As Chet says in "Weird Science": "boy, I wouldn't give a squirt of pis$ for your as$ right now".
That's about how I feel for these deathrow inmates and their 'suffering'.
