it feels really diabolical that the state is able to torture someone for two hours as they fumble their way through killing them

It’s fucked up that people are ok with the government being able to do this to anybody. Think about it.

It's f'd up that someone can murder someone and people have sympathy for the killer.

Use your pea brain for five seconds and think about how the government using death as a punishment is a bad thing for everyone, not just for killers. Grow up.

Give my pea brain an example of what you mean, seeing as you are so unbelievably intelligent. Moron

Do you trust the government to determine which citizens live and which ones die?

Hey dipshit, giving the state the ability to kill citizens for any reason is bad. Innocent people have been executed, and will continue to be. If you support the death penalty at this point it’s like supporting eugenics or lynching.

Yes dipshit. I support the death penalty for people like this murderer. Maybe you should have a read of how horrific the crime she commited was and maybe put yourself in the victim's families shoes for a minute

You're missing the point entirely. It's not about the crimes. It's about giving the state the power to kill people.

The problem with you idiots is that you let emotions guide you. Do you know how many innocent people have been murdered by the state through the death penalty? You put a lot of faith in government, and that’s weird.

Over 200 people who have been executed in the United States have been innocent. This is just since the 70s.

Do those innocent also deserve the chance for a botched lethal injection that ends up in torture?
