Alabama suffocated a man to death in a gas chamber tonight after starving him so he wouldn't choke on his own vomit as they did it. And this was deemed perfectly legal by multiple courts in the vaunted American legal system.
That's what happens when you value institutions over people.

Honestly, if I were to choose suicide, I'd go for a nitrogen slumber. Seems like a painless way to go.
They didn't seem to do it correctly and it took a while. It described in the article but it is horrible.
Death penalty in the US and not doing it correctly, name a more fitting duo
Obligatory Jacob Geller
Crazy how as our methods of execution get easier to watch, they get more torturous to the individual. Give me a firing squad or a guillotine any day. Y'all lethal inject me, I'm haunting your asses
People just... go to watch executions?
Interesting video, indeed worth a watch.
It sounds like he tried to hold his breath, not that they did it incorrectly.
Well the method itself makes it so people will try and hold their breath. I mean they know that once they start breathing their life will stop. You are right though.
It's not like they could have practiced beforehand, but I get what you mean.
Hmm, I think I'd choose "cocaine overdose".
Sounds fun but it would be a horrible way to die.
2 grams of heroin would be the way to go I would think
I have no plans now, but maybe I'll try that during the sunset of my life...
Why not both! Speedball your way out like all the other greats!
This is straight out of Project Hail Mary. One person chooses to die by nitrogen. Another chooses heroin.
10? 100? Idc, shit is cheap.
Maybe just let them go full Tony Montana?
Too dangerous. You might mis-judge the amount and just end up having a good time.
It's the way the suicide pods work, apparently
It's literally the way I wanna die. How many Alabama Republicans do I gotta do in to get done in like this?
