Kenneth Smith ‘struggled for life’ for 22 minutes in Alabama nitrogen gas execution: Updates
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.
You're viewing a single thread.
He was unconscious and not experiencing any form of pain that he was aware of. Therefore his death was PAINLESS.
Read the article:
"We didn’t see somebody go unconscious in 30 seconds,” said Red Hood. “What we saw was minutes of someone struggling for their life.”
You have absolutely no evidence that this is true, you're just parroting after-the-fact propaganda while entirely ignoring the good science on offer in this thread.
Those boots must be real tasty, huh?
Which boots?
The bootlickers are the ones supporting the death penalty without the lack of suffering.
Seriously whose boots are getting locked here?
I think their point is you're buying a version of events that very much goes against reality as they slowly suffocated for 20+ minutes.
A little bit different than bootlicking don’t you think?
Bootlicking is giving in to authority without question.
No one here has any authority
Ignoring science? Nope. If They implemented it correctly there would have not even been a struggle nor a groan as the oxygen would have been replaced by nitrogen in the blood and death would have been without a whimper. As it was even without the correct implementation since it seems the nitrogen was mixed with some oxygen or unconsciousness would have been within seconds, he was aware of no pain at the time of death as he was unconscious. Unless you are trying to claim that he was supernaturally aware of pain through some other means than his consciousness.
"If"
That is the science in this thread, if you could be arsed to read and comprehend it. But you'd rather waste your time with nonsense so whatever.
Right, but they clearly didn't as they suffocated over 20+ minutes.
I'm not sure what your point is.
Therefore his death was PAINLESS.
Except for the 22 minutes of struggling to breath. Unless you're discounting those by saying he was unconscious the moments before his death. If that's the case, most forms of what we consider painful death are after at least a few moments of unconsciousness.
