Albama
(lemy.lol)
Transcript
Alabama 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.

Honestly, if I were to choose suicide, I'd go for a nitrogen slumber. Seems like a painless way to go.
They didn't seem to do it correctly and it took a while. It described in the article but it is horrible.

Crazy how as our methods of execution get easier to watch, they get more torturous to the individual. Give me a firing squad or a guillotine any day. Y'all lethal inject me, I'm haunting your asses
People just... go to watch executions?
Interesting video, indeed worth a watch.
It sounds like he tried to hold his breath, not that they did it incorrectly.
Well the method itself makes it so people will try and hold their breath. I mean they know that once they start breathing their life will stop. You are right though.
It's not like they could have practiced beforehand, but I get what you mean.
