Ohio could begin nitrogen gas executions under bill backed by state’s Republican attorney general
This method was used for the first time in Alabama last week. For at least two minutes, Kenneth Eugene Smith appeared to shake and writhe on the gurney
I don’t know why we have to specify, "Experimental."
The state shouldn’t be allowed to decide who dies. Ever.
Thought the thumbnail was a linux/it meme for a moment (I'm german and use arch btw)
Then why aren't you on iusearchlinux.fyi?
Edit: Fixed the link
You mean i-use-arch.fyi ? I may or may not use the same username everywhere...
There's so many quick painless ways to go, how come the stake only wants to ok the ones with a good chance at failing or being torturously painful?
The use of nitrogen is nothing more than biological suffocation whilst the person is awake. They will know only that horrible inability to breathe whilst at the same time resorting to panic and anxiety breathing. If you wanted to do execution badly, this is it. (Yes, I understand the mechanisms from gaseous exchange through to the pons medulla reflex)
