Isn't it ironical lethal drugs themselves have a limited shelf life?

“This sort of reeks of an assembly line or, as one of the local papers put it, a ‘killing spree,’” said Rozensweig, who represents three of the men.

Jack Jones is scheduled to die for murdering Mary Phillips in 1995 and leaving her 11-year-old daughter Lacy for dead. Now an adult, Lacy Phillips says Jones should pay for his crime.

Having a hard time giving two fucks.

Good for them. Don't let those drugs go to waste!

Like a weird paradox. Imagine hoping in vain for the drugs used to kill you will be expired.

Even HuffPo can't make these guys sound like they don't deserve to die.

Kenneth Dewayne Williams had served roughly two weeks of a life sentence when he escaped from prison and killed a farmer and a delivery driver.

We're supposed to feel bad about a dude who broke out of prison to kill again?

 

[Oh Long Johnson]

I think if the drugs go bad, they'll have a botched execution and then you have to kill John Coffey or Mr. Jingles or some fucking thing.

I agree. There's nothing wrong in being skeptical about prison conditions and how they're run, etc. But this doesn't make me want to feel sorry for someone who escaped prison and killed 2 innocent people.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- A federal judge dealt a serious blow Saturday to Arkansas' unprecedented plan to execute eight inmates in an 11-day period, saying the men have the right to challenge a drug protocol that could expose them to "severe pain."

I never quite understood the peculiar insistence on high-tech ways to off murderers in the US. It just seems to open up a whole bunch of headaches when you could do the job with a rope or a pistol for cents on the dollar.

Bring back the guillotine. It's more efficient and more fun.

 

[FataBataRang]

Good riddance. They should have been executed long ago.

2 for 1 clearance, all death row inmates must go! NO HAGGLE!

It started as a way of being more humane in the eye's of the early to mid 20th century when ideas were changing but it was supposed to be more human for the people carrying it out - at least that was the selling point, a lot of people complained about the more traditional way's like hanging and shooting (especially after ww1 with the later, for various reasons) so it's why they changed to less personal way's of ending a life.

What if they get exonerated after being executed tho

The guillotine is the method I'd choose, were I subject to such a penalty.

My favorite French revolutionary, Danton, said before being guillotined: "Show my head to the people. It is worth seeing."

 

[AnOminous]

Also, "we gotta kill these people now otherwise they might win their appeal before our death dope goes bad" is a shitty legal argument.

The best one was the grudge that carried on past death, apparently the head of one nobelman bit another head in the basket who he had a infamous at the time disagreement with when they got the chop one after the other... supposedly they couldn't separate the heads so buried them together...

That's one hell of a grudge if you ask me.

Isn't this America? Don't we have guns? I coulda sworn we had like a shitload of guns.
