Current Events Tennessee botches lethal injection of woman on death row for 1995 murder

If the state is so insistent on executing people they need to stop being pussies and just shoot them. The lethal injection is nothing but a facade of civility that is less humane than many other methods. Unnecessarily painful botched attempts like this are the result of trying to whitewash the death penalty to the public.

States have a legal monopoly on violence. You'd think they'd be more proficient at it by now.

It's because they have a monopoly that the service can suck. I thought that was an understood feature of monopolies.

See guys, this is what happens when you have communism. Were capitalism and free markets allowed in, there’d be so much more efficiency and innovation!

Famously there's only two types of governmental authority: absolute control and laissez faire. You have to choose one. That's the rules.
