“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    Quoting an article about safe use of nitrogen, it is odorless, tasteless, and colorless. At extreme low levels of oxygen, nitrogen can cause unconsciousness and death in seconds and without warning.

    I’m not talking about the chimps who executed this guy designing the system, I’m talking about qualified scientists designing it. The beauty is, you don’t need a medical doctor to monitor oxygen levels if you rapidly remove the oxygen and add nitrogen. Send in slightly chilled nitrogen and the air will rise above it. Relief valve up top spits out the oxygen. Homeboy is unconsciousness before he realizes why the air just got cold.

    The freediver will hold his breath confidently for four minutes, exhale, suck in pure nitrogen, and be out in a breath or two.

    I agree that the state does lie and incompetently kills people, but we can design a system that does it well. I just don’t agree they should ever use it.

      , I’m talking about qualified scientists designing it.

      Which qualified scientists designed this system?

          Why bother? People are being put to death in the real world where competent people are not involved in executions.

            Well you said you didn’t want to pick an execution method because they all needed medical doctors, so I proposed a situation that doesn’t require one except to declare death. But good point, we’ll only pick up this discussion after you break in and rip the mask off the next execution victim.
