  🇺🇸 The woman Tennessee failed to execute says she’s been in pain ever since. Christa Pike got 2 doses of pentobarbital on September 30, enough to kill her. But somehow, she made it, becoming the only known person to survive a lethal injection execution attempt. And a month

  correct It is irrelevant and meaningless besides one's personal satisfaction from a concept of meaning attached to someone's suffering. A delusion of deriving meaning or deterrence for other people to absorb, where in reality it doesn't matter. Guarding, sheltering, and feeding her wastes public money that could've been used to help people and…

  TN doesn’t use IV potassium. They give 100 mg of pentobarbital which sedates the prisoner until they stop breathing, and then they die of asphyxia. They’re one of a few states that does a single drug lethal injection. Source:

  I don't know for sure but I suppose it's possible being nice in that situation may be helpful for possibly getting your sentence commuted to life or getting more support for picking a different execution method. I'm not ruling out that she's faking the remorse she's expressed in later years. But I'm not ruling out that she's not faking it either.

  You aren't supposed to torture prisoners...you follow the law and remain humane. If we don't stick to principles, we are no better than this particular type of human we are incarcerating. We are a developed nation and do not need to commit the same type of acts we are punishing.

  Yes, I know what heroin is. What I'm saying is that it would be a more effective and painless lethal injection that what is being used now. Using it in such a manner is impossible for the reasons you've given, but it would still be more effective.

  That’s not actually how it works though. Many people with a felony cannot vote. We bar some people with a history of violent crime from (legally) owning a firearm. Those are constitutional rights that we choose to take away.

  Christa Pike's lawyers expressed concerns about the injection method in part because of her small veins and thrombocytosis. They actually asked the courts to consider hanging instead because the expected this to happen.

  When multiple gunmen aim for the heart, it's about as quick as can be. It's the most humane method we have available tbh. The head is more likely to miss and to maim without death

  A botched execution attempt that results in constant pain is the definition of a cruel punishment. You're right, it's a violation. I can think of an easy way to fix it.

  See further comments below, with sources. Long story short, the extra effort required to prevent the execution of an innocent person is really, really expensive.

  We are the shepherds of the land. We can forgive but just punishment still must be given. As always leftist twisting world views to meet their narratives.
