Pro-life. 🙄
Pro-Life until you are born. Once you are born, you're fucked.

Honestly much better than lethal injection. Lethal injection is slow and tortuous but looks less violent.
I'd rather be give a fuck ton of herion and ran over with a bulldozer. If that's not available chop my head off
I'm convinced lethal injection was intentionally designed to be agony, and torture. There are too many accounts by eyewitnesses of it not being peaceful, and painless.
Afaik the process itself is fine, but it involves things like starting an IV and dosing, and people who are skilled in those kinds of things tend not to be the kind of people who are okay with assisting in an execution. So, the ones who end up doing it are basically cops with a syringe, and -big shock- fuck it up cuz they're either too stupid to do it correctly or too evil to want to.
You're more of an optimist than me.
Holy shit, now that might be the first time anyone's accused me of that.
Misery loves company I guess. /internet-hug from one dejected motherfucker to another.
Bro, I'm so deep in a depression hole right now. Thanks, I appreciate it.

Mainly because the drugs administered as anesthesia and loss of consciousness weren't enough and people botched them in myriad ways, from my current understanding.

I'll just take that heroin od
Yeah, I've overdosed before, it's a swift, painless slide into the dark.
Username checks out.
Yeah. But I'm clean now and still alive to regret that particular incident, could be worse
Edit - I wanted to bring it back in a witty way to your username checking out too but fuck me it's beyond my ability
Sorry for being late, but fucking go you! I look forward to limiting my vices at least as much as you.
Edit: and you totally could've done something with hemorrhoids for other homie's un
Dammit! You're right, there was definitely a hemorrhoids joke there . . . isn't it always the way that you never get the idea until way too late!
Yeah don't give me too much applause - I will still have an occasional pipe of crack, maybe once every couple of months. Because I fuckin like it and that's that. I'm getting too old for that shit though -my smart watch gives me an unusual heartbeat warning when I do stimulants. I also still drink too much, I still smoke cigarettes and the occasional joint, I still have a shitty diet. These are things I need to change. But yeah, I don't do smack anymore. It was part of my life for many wasted years. It took me way too long to finally quit. But I did it. . . and so can you. Probably better than me. The rest of my stuff is a work in progress - though I am finding I feel better the next day if I go to sleep sober.
I don't wanna give you advice because we all different people with different shit. What worked for me might not be right for you. And I'm no fuckin guru! I'd just say pick a date and stick to it. Don't beat yourself up about relapses, just get back on that wagon and keep going. And get whatever medical and social support you can. All the best mate
Mfer, you went hard in the paint didn't ya?
I moved from South FL(easy coke) to middle of nowhere America(meth land).
You know how they say "meth not even once."? Well in my case it's meth not even three times. That shit sucks!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanging_in_the_United_States
Currently, only New Hampshire has a law specifying hanging as an available secondary method of execution, now only applicable to one person, who was sentenced to capital punishment by the state prior to its repeal in 2019.
The hanging of Billy Bailey is likely to be the final hanging in the United States, considering that all three of the states that maintained hanging as a secondary method of execution alongside lethal injection after the 1976 restoration of the death penalty have now abolished executions. Delaware's Supreme Court declared the death penalty to be in violation of their state constitution in 2016,[21] Washington abolished executions in 2018,[22] and New Hampshire abolished executions in 2019.[23] However, the last person on death row in the three states is Michael K. Addison in New Hampshire, convicted in 2008 of the 2006 murder of Michael Briggs, an on-duty police officer. Should the state carry out Addison's execution, the method could be hanging if lethal injection was found unconstitutional or inefficient, or if he chooses to be executed by hanging.
Talk about a go-down-in-the-history-books opportunity.
Since the last execution in New Hampshire was a botched hanging in 1939 that took 6 minutes for the guy to die, I kind of doubt the court would allow them to go through with that.

- be shot by a firing squad
- die by lethal injection
- visit south carolina
Seems like a guillotine would be far more humane. No 80 seconds of breathing - man that must be like an eternity of pain.
Well, multiple scientists and doctors during the French Revolution reported that multiple victims maintained consciousness, briefly, after being beheaded, up to 30 seconds. One such incident happened in 1905, to a French criminal named Henri Languille. The French used the guillotine as the State method for executions up until 1981. The last beheading was in 1977.

In short, it's not painless, and does not cause instant unconsciousness. If that was the goal, they'd render the "criminal" unconscious before execution.
But then, that's not the point, is it?
So guillotine, but instead of a blade, just put a 2ft cube of steel to smash the entire head

Barbaric idiots.
Death penalties don't help to fight crime, as has been proven over and over again.

All killing is murder, states are just gangs big enough to have a PR team and the ability to indoctrinate the youth into following their rules.
Good on South Carolina for making that more plain.
The state having a Monopoly on violence is sort of the point of a social contract. That being said I'm not a proponent of the death penalty. Life is sacred.

I've had several surgeries in my life that required a general anesthetic. There is no excuse or justification, other than sadism, for suffering here. Shouldn't have the death penalty in the first place.
Except for the fact they let him choose his method of executions. I mean, being against the death penalty in general is one thing, but the sentence was passed out and the convict chose that method.
I find all forms of capital retribution to be barbaric, in addition to having the problem of killing potentially innocent people. Add to that it's hard to argue that a justice-system can even exist when a prosecutor can just dangle the death penalty over a defendants head if they don't sign a plea.
-With all of that in mind I've always found the idea of a firing squad to be the least unappealing option out of all of the multiple unappealing options. Guns were specifically designed to effectively kill people with hundreds of years of iteration built into them. Our military and our Allies military sometimes even use them to kill children. a skilled shooter and a stationary target can make it quick. -At least, that's what I can imagine.
