Wouldn't carbon monoxide be better? You kind of just fall asleep no?

[-] Sopje@hexbear.net 9 points 7 months ago

Google says that it’s more dangerous for bystanders in case of leakage. Probably the real reason is that it’s too expensive to do it safely.

Yeah but we don't do that because of the optics. And only because of the optics, really.

[-] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 6 points 7 months ago

optics as a concept needs to die. So many people whinge about optics and they never have a valid point underneath it.

Generally yeah, but let's see who's gonna advocate in favor of gassing inmates.

[-] ImOnADiet@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago

wasnt this literally gassing the inmate?

[-] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 7 months ago

True. Though Alabama's doing it cuz they ran out of juice but want to keep killing people anyway. It seems like there's more backlash to this method than to the usual murders, but I think the South just needs to make it more American. Lock people in a room with a truck running and you'll have the support of patriots everywhere.

Honestly, with how anti death penalty this site is they’d just get banned (they conveniently ignore how we all approve of the death penalty for Nazis, but don’t point that out).

I mean There were and still are multiple Gas Chambers all around the US that we're Used for executions. So the US is advocating for Gas Chambers.

Most of them arent Used anymore and are in the south. I dont know the exact Locations but i think Arizona was one, new Mexico, california Had one as well.

They were mostly Used in the 60s and 70s i think.
