▲ 751 ▼ Kenneth Smith ‘struggled for life’ for 22 minutes in Alabama nitrogen gas execution: Updates (www.independent.co.uk) submitted 2 years ago by some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org to c/news@lemmy.world 581 comments fedilink hide all child comments “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.

We don't want any chance that somebody could be hurt. If people want to experience danger, they can play Russian roulette, budget skydive, fly on a Boeing, go to school in America, drive while black, try drugs from China, speed in New York on a motorcycle, explore abandoned buildings and eat the paint, become an amateur arborist, deliver pizzas, be a woman, own a tiger or chimpanzee, take a firearms self-defense course run by a balding guy with a ponytail, or compete in Gol/Nanggol. There is no need for someone to be uselessly harmed at a state execution! We live in a sane society. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] KillingTimeItself@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 point 2 years ago "go to school in america" or go see a legally performed and orchestrated murder.
