I don't fucking get it. Liberals championed the idea when applied to "exit bags" for depressed people to kill themselves with, and all of a sudden it's inhumane to execute a violent criminal via this method?

It took British executioner Albert Pierrepoint seven seconds to bring a prisoner from the condemned cell to hanging .. all this fancy stuff re electric chairs, lethal injections and now "nitrogen hypoxia" does is torture the poor soul bound to die .. bring back the rope.

I find I have no problem with this. Post the video.

This just strengthens my argument for a return to the guillotine.

Blink of an eye, over and done.

But I still advocate for public crucifixion (which can take days) for aggregious offenders.

there we go, like always when "the state/gov" is involved in something.

The big danger with hypoxia is that you don't realize that anything is wrong. You maybe get a bit giddy and silly and other people can notice, but from the inside it all feels normal ... then you fall unconscious, essentially without notice. See https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6474450/ or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjzhDiWFURI

Remember what it says on the airplane safety card: put your own oxygen mask on first.

The idea is that a parent might try to fit their child's oxygen mask first, and pass out himself. The naive and incorrect expectation is that if the parent tries to put on their child's mask first, and this is taking too long, then the parent will start suffering from respiratory distress that will force them to put on their own mask, before they return to putting on their child's mask. But respiratory distress is caused by the build up of carbon dioxide, not the lack of oxygen. With hypoxia the parent may fall unconscious, essentially without notice.

This danger is also present in chemical plants. The usual fatal industrial accident goes like this: there is a big tank that usually contains hydrocarbons. It is empty in the sense of having been drained for maintenance. It gets left for a while, maintenance is not urgent. The oxygen in the air combines with the hydrocarbon residue and gets used up. The maintenance worker goes into the tank, breathes the air, with is now mostly nitrogen, and passes out without realizing that anything is wrong. His safety buddy goofed off during training and doesn't realize what's up. He goes in to rescue his work mate. The second man also passes out without realizing that anything is wrong. They both die before they are found.

I'm old and have always been curious. It is a weird experience, seeing people tell stupid lies that contradict well known stories about how the world works and how to avoid being killed by it.

So... Anyone know how long the killer's victims suffered before they died?

Oxygen displacement is about the most humane way to kill someone, which leads me to believe it wasn't done properly. Did they give the guy a panic attack in the process? Let the nitrogen hiss in? Was it room temperature or did they just vent in compressed nitrogen and make the temperature drop? I'm all for not killing people cruelly if there's a reasonable alternative.

Was that more or less than the horror experienced by his victims?

I don’t get it. Just put a bullet in him. Quick and done.

Wow awesome, but I bet he was just being an over dramatic bitch

Why not zyklon since its a turbo-fast insta death gas?

What about the minutes he inflicted on the person he murdered? I could care less if its agonizing just get rid of them hell use a rope or a firing squad

WTF is wrong with hanging? Or firing squad? Where shooting is legal, there are waiting lists of volunteers!

Why not just a fat dose of heroin?

Well, sounds like firing squads are the most humane.

chopping their head off is quicker, why all the trouble?
