Oklahoma botches execution, went horribly wrong while inmate writhed over 30 minutes

Botched execution?

Nah! After what this guy did, that was a perfect execution.

Glad he suffered. He should feel the same pain he put his victims and their families through. This easy street lethal injection, prison crap needs to go for murderers.

Maybe in his next life he will think twice about being a murder.

Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Why do you hate the Constitution?

Felons can't own weapons, Felons lose the right to vote (can be reinstated). You do a heinous crime and get sentenced to life in prison or death... well you lose some rights.

The electric chair was brutal, hanging can be a slow death.... getting an IV in the arm does not seem cruel or unusual. You just have all these anti-death penalty types suing and making states use other crazy drug combos.

Again, being humane in our execution is not for the convicted person, it is for us. IMO searching for a "humane" way to kill a human is an oxymoron. A health, normal person feels sympathy for a human going through distress; they project themselves into the person's situation and can feel their pain. It is why we cringe when we see someone being hurt, or we look away. This sympathetic feeling is what we acknowledge now and try to reduce as much as possible. Unless you get a high off of vicariously feeling the pain of others, then you'd likely want to reduce the pain you cause others through life. This is one area we can certainly do that. As humans it is impossible to decouple our sympathetic feelings from a person due to what they have done. As in, we still put ourselves in their position and feel their pain even if they are bad people.

Saying "hell yeah, he got what he deserved" is most likely a way for you to avoid investigating these sympathetic feelings. It is a western ideal to bury them.

so he died of a heart attack due to a drug overdose. Sounds like a friday night on hollywood blvd our South Beach.

There have to be a million ways which are established and reliable ways to kill a person - what's the point of developing new drugs for this purpose?

Umm no..just no. I feel no sympathy for murders. They forfeited being treated like a human when they decided not to value another humans life. IMO
