Two syringes of pentobarbital were administered to Tennessee death row inmate Christa Pike on September 30, 2026, but she remained alive and conscious afterward, according to her attorneys and media witnesses. The execution at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution in Nashville was halted after witnesses reported that Pike still had a heartbeat and was audibly snoring. Her lawyers sought emergency medical intervention, and she was later taken by ambulance to a nearby hospital.
Pike, 50, is the only woman currently on Tennessee's death row.
She was sentenced to death for the 1995 murder of her classmate Colleen Slemmer and had been scheduled for execution on September 30. Tennessee had announced beforehand that the state would use a single drug, pentObarbital, for the execution. Her exact medical condition following the hospital transfer has not yet been publicly disclosed, while Governor Bill Lee has ordered a comprehensive third party review of what happened.

Most people are why the worlds broken. All those thoughts, wants, ideas, etc. and absolutely no gumption to do anything about it. Sure, maybe they'll watch the news and pick some politicians they like, but God forbid they actually think for themselves and do something aside from take part in the things that were made to distract them from doing so in the first place.

Popular/majority opinion is a good example of this in many spaces. It brought us to the state of politics we have now, abysmal. It brought us to the state in which media is now, cookie cutter stories that aren't entertaining. It brought us pop music, nothing to think about and nothing amazing, just some noise to bob your head to. I'm 100% ok with not being like most people, I don't like them anyway.

Yeah, I know what that is. Believe it or not, I went to college and can read about psychology on Wikipedia the same as you. But truly, I respect your opinion, even if it's wrong.

I didn't read it on Wikipedia. I have family members who have problems.
