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.

I mean if they on death row. Just hang them.
I know this is getting down voted but hanging done effectively or firing squad are some of the most humane ways to perform death sentences.
More traumatizing to the executioners, iirc? Remember reading that somewhere, but I may be mistaken. Correct if wrong.
Firing squad, I'd imagine even though they always used to have 1 shooter with a blank. Hanging, if they had the rope too long it can cause decapitation.
