www.independent.co.uk
Witness Reverend Jeff Hood told reporters he saw a man ‘struggling for their life’ for 22 minutes as Smith became the first US death row inmate executed by nitrogen asphyxia

“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    So. If 50% of people are not willing to point a gun at someone and kill them. We should abolish the military as well?

    Will take a lot of killings before we can decide if we want a military or not. We don’t want people to only sign up. We need to make sure they actually do it too. Easy to sign up. Difficult to commit.

      Sure? Like you don’t have to actually join but sign up for the draft. If 50% aren’t willing to die and or kill for their country then maybe they shouldn’t be at war.

        Plenty of people can say they are. But you said it yourself, it’s one thing to talk, another to do.

        Gotta prove it. Can do that on criminals to be executed. Kill two birds with one stone.
