“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

    this is like arguing that suicide is inhumane and should be illegal

      A person who is doing it voluntarily for suicide would not be struggling against impending doom and would be breathing normally. The context here is execution against someone’s will.

        the impending doom is coming in either scenario, either you play it up, fight it, and die trying, or you just follow through with it.

        That’s a conscious choice people are capable of making in that scenario.

        If you don’t want to struggle, you just breath normally.

          That’s a conscious choice people are capable of making in that scenario.

          I guess the person being put to death should have just made a decision to die then. That’s what you are saying right, that they suffered because they didn’t choose to just roll over and die?

            yeah, pretty much.

            The same exact decision you make when you get born into society and are forced to integrate, otherwise be ostracized.

            I don’t make the rules.
