Thanks for proving my point. Even you acknowledge that two hours of torture is barbaric, though you seem to approve of it. Perhaps it is you who would be more suited to the Middle East.
it's called sarcasm.......
But, just for the record, I wish it would have lasted 8 hours instead of just 2. Sorry, I just don't feel sorry for people when it comes time to pay the penalty. But, I'll sit here all day and smile about his death.
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 drugs used in capital punishment can not be exported to the US for use in execution under European Human Rights law and EU legislation and the same applies to many other parts of the world. Hence the US problem with lethal injection. The EU provides a lot anesthetic drugs and other such drugs to the US, if they were however used in even one execution they would be totally withdrawn and this would effect the US Healthcare system. The result is some states in the US are trying untested combinations of drugs and only making matters worse. Whilst pressure for the US to stop using Capital Punishment is growing in many parts of the world.
US Tax Code and Regulations have forced most Drug Manufactures to exit the USA - this isn't a problem just with Lethal Injection Drugs ..... this is a problem with all Medical Drugs. Yet another major Drug Company announced this week that they are moving their operations to Europe and giving up their Corporate Citizenship - Senator Joe Manchin (W. Virginia Dem) announced that he had no idea that his Daughter (the CEO of Mylan Drugs) was going to do this. :roll eyes:
Keep in mind that Europe of the UN can make it next to impossible for any Medical drugs to reach the USA if they should choose to do so - we know this because they are already doing it with certain drugs.
We need some serious changes to our policies - we have forced too many essential industries out of this country.
And it's not that hard. Stop making it complicated. I'd argue that the framers of the Constitution, when considering the idea of "cruel and unusual" where thinking of devices such as the breaking wheel or the gibbet, or perhaps burning at the stake or starvation as falling into that category. They did not know of and could not have imagined death by injection of a numbing substance designed to reduce awareness followed by another which would disrupt body chemistry and induce death.
The framers simply copied it from the British law. It's pretty simple, a death penalty means putting someone to death, which is different from making them suffer for two hours first.
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'.

I know huh.
Wonder if this human scum's victims suffered at all before they died. I guarantee their deaths were cruel and unusual.
Hopefully they get it right the next time and use a bullet. Save everyone a lot of money.
I see nothing cruel or unusual about someone sentenced to death and ending up dead after the process is over. I'd say, mission accomplished.
If you see nothing with someone having to suffer two hours in process of death, then you'd probably see nothing from in making someone suffer for two days. It says a lot about you.

Like I said, I'll sleep very well tonight without a single ounce of sympathy for this guy. He got what he deserved. How long the process took is irrelevant.
And do you honestly think he 'suffered'? He was unconscious. They could have sawed his head off with a butter knife and he still wouldn't have felt a thing. (although I'm sure the anticipation as he was heading to the gurney was 'killing him'. Ha ha)
