Kenneth Smith’s nitrogen execution called ‘troubling’ by White House: Updates
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.

    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.

        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.
