lethal injection fails

[jiiimmm]

apparently some dumb ass in Ohio on death row was to die last night by lethal injection. For some reason the staff could not find a vein and after several attempts the process was called off because it was cruel and traumatizing to the inmate. He gets a week stay of execution and now there are calls to call of his execution because the state tried and failed on the first attempt.
He was found guilty of raping and killing a 13 year girl. I wonder how cruel and traumatizing it was for her. The state should use rusty discarded needles and just repeatedly stab this son of a bitch until the job is done.

All this compassion for this prick yet the victim seems to be forgotten. This kind of stuff really pisses me off!

Ok lets say for a moment they only get one 'stab' at it. What now? Release him? Put him back in the slammer? Why not try other methods? Hang him. Gas him. zap him. One of them will take.

Lethal injection is actually an incredibly painful way to die that doesn't meet the standards for killing livestock, the person being executed is just paralysed by the drugs so you don't see him suffocating.

I oppose the death penalty personally, but thats the law thats what he was sentenced too nothing about this incident warrants changing that sentencing.

He should be fed to a family of lions.

That could be very disturbing to the person doing the feeding. Thats why lethal injection is so popular, it's the easiest form of execution on the executioner.

Failed to find a vein... like really are these actually medical staff doing the injections?

I agree.

Without it the thin veil of humanity that is the only thing keeping the supreme court from declaring the death penalty cruel and unusual evaporates. State sanctioned premeditated murder is such an illogical (although emotionally satisfying) concept that these things are necessary to keep it going.

It is not uncommon for someone trained in venipuncture to have difficulty finding a good vein. Sometimes a vein will be hard to find for several reasons or might collapse when trying to puncture etc.

Actually it is probably the least painful:
3 drugs are used, injected in this order:

1) Sodium thiopental: an anesthetic agent...the person is rendered unconscious
2) Pancuronium: paralyzes the muscles including those requried for respiration..diaphragm and accessory muscles therefore is asphyxiated
3) Potassium chloride: Stops the heart thereby dieing due to cardiac arrest.

Realize for injections 2 and 3 he is unconscious...has no idea whats going on and feels no pain.


Ironically the multiple attempts at getting IV access will be more painful than the injection itself.

well i only ment. of all the places on the body to put a dose of meds that is supposed to kill the guy..

What ever happened to a pistol shot to the head????


Really hard to fuck that up....

I agree with The Mexi. When I read what Jiimmm wrote I thought bullets fired from a gun rarely fail, especially from pointblank.

I was thinking the same thing lol....

I say this should be standard practise: put him out, let him wake up and say haha fooled you, put him out again, wake him up haha fooled you.....then really give it to him.......

I fully support the death penalty for open and shut cases. Just think of the money saved if we'd just get rid of Bernardo already?

if you've ever watched the MSNBC show Lockup you'd see some really sick fucks are in prison for 1,000 yrs. I think it more cruel and inhuman to keep them locked in a 4 x 6 cell for 23 hrs a day than to kill them.

One even stated that given the chance, he'd kill a guard without any hesitation.......

Actually you are wrong. There are many people who survive a gunshot wound to the head. There are people who stuck a gun in their mouth and pulled the trigger, but missed the spinal column--they end up with a hole in their neck, but not dead. There are people who are shot in the side of the head, but the bullet just cracks the skull and deflects. They end up with a brain injury, but not dead.

Bullets are spectacularly ineffective. They are good at killing people, sure, but in most cases the victim dies of blood loss, not an instant, painless death.

A well oiled guillotine is likely the quickest and most humane way, but it is a gruesome sight to see the head rolling into a bucket. On the other hand you can stick the bloody head up on a spike in the town square afterwards--hey, if you're going to engage in savage behavior why hide it?

I read somewhere that a silenced .22 is the preferred weapon for assassins. They put the gun at the base of the skull, the .22 slug punches a nice neat round hole in the skull but doesn't have enough velocity to go out the other side so it just bounces around inside and turns the brain to mush.......

I would like to see the KISS method brought back...

Keep It Simple Stupid.

This is supposed to be a punishment after all!

The only argument I've heard for getting rid of the death penalty that made any sense to me was the fact that it cost tax payers more to put a criminal to death than it does to keep them in prison until they die of natural causes.

I like the electric chair best, its the most fun to see. The person eyes actually burst! Its so cool!

Yes, I realize I am a little sadistic.... but the fuckers deserve it.
