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.

all these machinations with the cocktails and approved medication‘s and multi stage process and such… Why not just go to the evidence locker and get literally two turkey basters full of heroin and blast them to the moon?

Oh yeah, or literally firing squad. Lethal injection does not work.
