MODERATORS
State-sanctioned murder is never ok.
Yeah, but nobody is doing anything about it until now when it's actually the way I specifically want to die because of how painless it is.
It becomes significantly more painful if you hold your breath until you pass out before inhaling the nitrogen.
So probably don't do that part.
It is entirely natural to want to not die. It's pretty unfair to blame the victim (even a victim guilty of a terrible crime) for the suffering caused by a process they didn't consent to.
Hes getting executed, of course he didn't consent to any of this.
He's getting killed by the state. There was no way around that. He chose to face his death in the way that caused him the most suffering.
In the past, people have done the exact opposite. People being hanged wood have someone pull down on their legs to make the process go faster so they didn't suffer as much. This guy did the exact opposite and inflicted several minutes of agony on himself.
Probably as a last fuck you to Alabama and create controversy for them
Yeah, and it definitely worked.
Oh yeah, I watched the episode of Veritasium about the scariest thing. That said, fighting death is kinda what living things do usually. That said, holding your breath to not suffocate is kinda the dumbest shit.
Never? All the executions that happened from the Nuremberg trials were wrong then?
I'm personally not shedding a tear for Quisling, nor would I have shed one if Anders Breivik had shared his fate.
Never.
Emotionally I agree with you regarding Nuremberg, and Breivik, (and while I know that Quisling is synonymous with traitor I don't actually know that but if history, so can't agree or disagree).
The state should not be involved in murder.
The state exists due to its right to exercise violence and murder to impose its laws. USA exists due to the violence and killings it made to become independent, and it's not alone in that origin story.
The US government were involved with at least 467 murders of civilians in Iraq in 2023 alone. Almost all governments with militaries are involved with murder one way or another, putting the line at convicted criminals seems like an arbitrary ethical line to me.
I'm against capital punishment myself, but that mostly due to the issues of cost and the court's inability to make correct judgments 100% of the time.
