Here's a great video (very educational) breaking down the execution drug debacle that's been going on lately.
If this latest botched execution involved some pain for the prisoner, I'm not feeling too bad about it -- especially when you see the guy's crimes. But we have to appear "humane" when we carry out these things. A bullet to the head would be more reliable-- and a hell of a lot cheaper. But we like to fool ourselves into thinking we're doing something better by injecting drugs into someone.
and there's never been a criminal who thought about the death penalty before committing his crime. So I'm against it not because I have any sympathy for the executed, but it's a giant waste of money, and mostly theater.
