TranscriptAlabama 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.

That’s a chance we are just going to have to take.

How many innocent people are you ok with murdering before it's no longer worth it?

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago (32 children)

Last I checked the guy they Nitrogen’d wasn’t innocent.

How many guilty killers are you ok with escaping punishment?

Do they just let them go free if they don’t execute them?

[–] Dead_or_Alive@lemmy.world -1 points 8 months ago

No they tried to execute this guy before, it didn’t work so this is their second mistake.

In this case I was responding to a loaded question with another loaded question.
