If an execution is going to happen, I think doing it in the most humane way possible is better than torturing them to death. That’s a positive switch, even if it’s still bad.
How so? Cause the dude was vigorously fighting the guys holding a mask to his face to try and stop them from killing him? I don’t think that’s evidence that nitrogen asphyxiation is painful. Dude did the same thing with the lethal injection, and they never even managed to get the needle in.
Oh, for sure. And I agree that the death penalty is fundamentally inhumane. I also understand that justice is hard to manage and measure. Idk, I’m drunk and not paid enough to have to make hard decisions like that, and for that I’m very much appreciative. :)
To be fair, insofar as execution methods go, nitrogen asphyxiation is far far far and away the most humane.
So, like, it is an improvement? It’s less inhumane than they were being at any rate?
I don’t know if you can call any execution method even remotely humane.
Even if you know it isn’t going to hurt, you still know you’re going to die. There’s no escaping that part.
I didn’t say it was. I said it was more humane.

People keep saying this, but it seems like this execution proved that it’s not true.

the humane part, to me, is the struggle.
The inhumane part is putting someone through that and saying, “Good job.”
