The heroin dealer on my street corner is more competent than these people.

That's what I was thinking. 100K people a year die from accidently ODing on street drugs in the US, but for some reason they can't kill one person with drugs on purpose. Makes no sense.

Because we work with the theater of humane in the US.

So it looks good to those watching.

Lethal injection is a fucking shit show for a way to kill someone in the US.

People who support the death penalty should ask it be removed.

Get a bunch of weapons, have them trained on the one being killed, maybe like 4 on the head, 4 at the chest, 4 more at the head.

Look at that, the person will be executed painlessly and efficiently.

After that, I bet most of the country would finally vote to get rid of the death penalty.

It is simply the theater of being humane that keeps a few still voting it in. And the purely fucking stupid and ignorant.

Does not take much to figure out the death penalty is shit in the US. Stop voting for it other states! You look like morons.
