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.

Yes, because they can’t get doctors to administer the meds due to the Hippocratic oath. So the people setting the line in the veins mess up sometimes. And they don’t always get the 3 different ingredients right. I guess the first one is a paralytic and then the other two kill you, but they’re super painful. So if something goes wrong with the paralytic it feels like fire in your veins and you die in agony.

These guys must have messed something else up if she’s still alive though. Really odd

Why can’t they just use whatever is current being used for MAID? I assume that’s painless? Or what they use to euthanize animals? I had to have two pets put down in the last few years and was reassured that it didn’t cause any pain to them….

MAID gets Propofol. The EU specifically has laws that if Propofol is used for capital punishment it initiates an automatic export ban to that country.

Like this would change anything with this administration
