It still gets me that hanging and firing squads have largely been banned for being "inhumane", while lethal injections almost never work, take hours, are apparently excruciating, and *cannot* be administered by licensed doctors

I also think it’s fucking hilarious that the sacklers won’t sell fentanyl or morphine to states for the purpose of painless executions but are just fine giving bonuses to doctors for getting people addicted to them

Firing squad is actually considered the most humane execution method. Lethal injection is considered one of the most inhumane.

Lethal injection has the highest failure rate (7.2%) so actually they only work 92.8% of the time

Wait what happened to him? That should actually be painless. Freaky but true, you can’t tell when you’re suffocating, your body just goes by whether or not it can get rid of CO2
