    I honestly feel like everyone is taking crazy pills to support the gas chamber 2.0

    It’s not like they didn’t say the same fucking things about lethal injection, gas chamber, and the electric chair.

    This will inevitably back fire for several reasons.

      The fact that you feel it’s appropriate to compare this to gas chambers highlights how willfully ignorant you are. Nitrogen isn’t zyklon B or cyanide and sulphuric acid. 78% of the air you breathe is nitrogen for fucks sake. The mechanisms at play are nothing like each other. They’re not even on the same planet.

      It’s an incredibly simple procedure with essentially zero room for fuck ups. Can you put a mask on and turn a knob? Congrats, youve done it! We know how hypoxia presents in people that aren’t being actively strangled. You get light headed, giddy, confused, and then you pass out. All within a minute. It’s quick, potentially euphoric and you’ll be out before your oxygen starved brain knows what’s going on.

      If we’re going to execute people, which we obviously shouldn’t, them it should be as quick and painless as possible. I know you don’t give a shit about that since you’ve stated twice that executions should be painful and cause suffering because “that’s the point”, but pull your head out of your ass. Stop getting off on the idea of painful executions and leave room for people who know what the fuck they’re talking about to pave the way forward.

      Your individual opinion doesn’t matter, but if enough people are fooled into believing the same braindead garbage you’re spewing then the cruel and innefective methods we’re currently using will stay in use for the foreseeable future. Keep your dog shit opinions to yourself so it doesn’t spread

        I know the science behind the theory. Dude you have way too faith in states willingness get executions correct or that they’ll actually care if asphyxiation via any type of gas is or isn’t painful.

          I have no faith in the state and I’m explicitly against execution. I support inert gas executions because I don’t trust the state to use other means effectively. There is essentially no room to fuck it up. It’s dead simple and requires minimal equipment or set up. You could fit enough nitrogen and masks to kill over 10 people in a backpack if you needed to. I don’t care if they care if it’s not painful. I know it isn’t painful. Your contrarianism is hollow and based on nothing but your own ignorance

              I wasn’t wrong, they fucked it up. My comment was literally saying that it’s still a viable method if performed correctly, which Alabama didn’t do

                The justice system can’t even convict people properly and people still think they will get more elaborate ways of murdering people correct. They’ll fuck this up every time because that’s what they do

                  Oh geeze lol. Didn’t even realize this was from a month ago. I’m an anarchist and prison abolitionist, I’m very much tuned in to the flaws of our system and am wholeheartedly against it.

                  The entire point of what I was saying is that this is less likely to fuck up and it’s more humane when done properly. I regret that they botched this and know that it’s going to be used as evidence against it by the state and people like you. The effects of botched lethal injections are significantly worse and it’s likely they will continue to happen now.

                  Even with the complications of this execution I can all but guarantee you that this man suffered less than those that died of a flawed lethal injection did. What sounds worse to you, suffocating or being lit on fire from the inside? That’s the choices people are faced with in this system. I feel compelled to restate (as I did several times throughout our last exchange) I think the death penalty is immoral and needs to be abolished, my arguments are purely pragmatic and I stand by them. If the state is going to perform executions, nitrogen is the way to go. I hope they alter their process because they clearly fucked this extremely simple method up.

                  Nitrogen isn’t a more elaborate means of execution, it’s simpler. They used the wrong mask and thats it. Your entire conception of the process is profoundly flawed

                    Of you actually cared about painless methods beheadings would be the go to regardless.
