“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.

          Justice is giving what’s owed. And that’s a great thing to argue about: What did he owe? To the family, the victim, and society. The question would be easy if taking his life restored the life of the woman he murdered. But that’s not possible. However I have seen arguments that would require his death so organs could be harvested to save the life of others who would otherwise die. I’m not comfortable with that but do think that debate needs to happen.

            Are you fucking mad? You want to give the state an incentive to murder prisoners? What the fuck is wrong with you?

            ALL COPS ARE BAD

              I think we need to have the debate. If you murder someone, do you owe your life if it can save the life of another?

                As a transplant recipient who is now listed for a second transplant.

                Nobody wants the state to murder people to increase the supply of organs.

                Stop couching your vengeance fantasies in altruism.

                I think we need to have the debate.

                Humans LONG before you had the debate already. Pick up a history book, please! You are not a unique snowflake with concepts this earth has never before thought about. Everything that rattles around in the paint-can on your neck has been debated for generations.
