I am personally against the death penalty but I do find it strange how many debate over if it will be ‘painful’ or ‘cruel’. You are executing a person. It’s not going to be pleasant.

Reportedly, he appeared to have suffered, and nitrogen ipoxia can be painless but can also be fairly painful in some cases
I don’t care if they “suffer”. They are being killed. To me that’s the silliness of it. We want it to look peaceful when we are killing someone.
The whole idea of capital punishment is “as a society we said that killing people is wrong, but some people are tol dangerous and they must be killed”, but at that point you want to do it without any unnecessary suffering, onlt for the good of society. So you either say that capital punishment should bw abolished, or it must be done without suffering. Death penalty with pain means you are the same as the people you are trying to kill because too dangerous
I disagree. It should be abolished because we can’t correct a mistake if you execute the wrong person. I don’t care about the pain aspect. If someone needs to be killed, I’m not overly concerned if it painful.
I do care that we take 50 years to do it and we have executed innocent people. If we can keep them safely for 30+ years then there is no need to execute them.
Focusing on the pain ignores there isn’t a need to even execute the majority of prisoners.
