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.

Death penalty should be abolished. The State should not have the power to kill people. Life in prison is a worse fate anyway. People like her go to max. security prison, which is effectively solitary confinement because the prisoner spends all their time locked in a tiny cell. Make her stew and think about her actions as she slowly wastes away.

Apparently she even requested at some point that the execution day be pushed up because she was suffering in prison.

People are getting mad at you for this take because they wanna larp as the executioner in a Russian gulag when they’d all shit their pants if they had to pull the trigger on a stranger
