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.

I think an execution should be messy and brutal. Make the state, the people watching and the executioner really feel it. That way it has more meaning and maybe they'll stop doing it.
Making the death penalty clean, neat and "humane" just encourages the state to do it more. If it wasn't nice and neat, they'd hold back
It should be humane for the victim not for the executioners or state or the people who want to watch it.
