Hydrogen sulfide gas is quick, painless and cheap. In high concentrations H2S is undetectable because it paralyzes the olfactory gland first. Then it paralyzes the heart and lungs. At 3000 ppm concentration this takes place in a few seconds. A person never knows what hit them. You could devise a mask that can be filled with H2S and then flushed with pure nitrogen after 1 min. Then let the perp lay for 10 min. They will be unquestionably and permanently dead. A person that has been knocked out by H2S can be revived after several minutes because they were just paralyzed by the gas. If CPR is administered, they can be revived. Thus the 10 min wait before taking off the mask. The flushing with N2 will get rid of the rotten egg smell and guarantee that the perp has no air to breath until he / she is completely dead.

Because experts on nitrogen gas have been promoting to the states use of nitrogen gas for executions.

Who knows, why don't they just use the good old guillotine?

But the DP is on its way out, too meany-mean for this country to stomach.

Youth under 18, can no longer be sentenced to death or life-without-parole. So these gorgeous
young-people, who commit horrific crimes, will be getting out at a young enough age, to butcher even more people.

Drake Diner shooter likely parole-eligible after ruling
*Convicted Drake Diner shooter Joseph "Jo-Jo" White Jr. will likely become eligible for a parole hearing after an Iowa Supreme Court ruling banning life-without-parole sentences for people who committed murders as juveniles.*

I don't know why any chemicals are needed at all, when there's already a method that's quick, effective, and cheap: the guillotine.

You cant smell it at all at high quantities. It is one of the leading causes of oil field deaths.

The problem it takes too long and the politicians who witness the death want to get to that after execution party before it is too late.
