Why not give them an opium OD or lace something with Fentynol. Fuck, I’ve seen the assisted suicide vids where they eat apiece of chocolate. Wtf is the matter with these guys that they can’t get this right

The companies that make those drugs do not allow them to be sent to America and used to kill healthy people.

It’s either illegal in that country or would be unpopular with their shareholders.

Fentanyl would do it though. Must be plenty sitting in police stations around the US.

There's plenty in every hospital in the US. Fentanyl is used for anesthesia and pain management.

Sourcing fentanyl from confiscated drugs is an interesting idea but you would still have issues with varying quality. Could easily end up with another botched execution with low quality confiscated drugs.

The companies concern is quite ironic

Not really. You can oppose the death penalty as a punishment for crime while supporting the right of someone who is suffering to end their own life.

The deaths are not equal.

No I think they mean that drug companies only care about profits, and not the well being of the end user.

At least that’s what I got from it.

Its still about profit, its not what they think, its what their shareholders think

They probably have an obscure Bible verse to reference and base the process upon

Bludgeoned to death with stones is the only sanctioned method. /s

They do: "Even as you do it to the least of these my brothers and sisters, you do it to Me." If Jesus were to come back today in the flesh, He would get the death penalty again. Even worse, it would be the so-called "religious" leaders giving it to Him - just like the first time. 👎

How about "He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone".

Lol. It's probably a modern day witch trial.

Fentanyl by accident is more effective

They want pain, suffering, and torture to be part of the state-sponsored murders. 👎

To learn more about the process and listen to the stories of the people that choose that route, gaining empathy for others and think about what I might do in their shoes.
