Witnesses watched through a window at an Alabama prison as Kenneth Eugene Smith became the nation's first person to be put to death using nitrogen gas.
Of course I wouldn’t! CO2 suffocation is one of the most painful ways to go out.
As someone who is currently alive and will die someday, I’ve thought a lot about the end. If my life ends in an intentional manner, nitrogen tank and a face mask is exactly how it’s going to go.
It’s not about empathy. It’s about not giving the state the right to control the life and death of its own citizens. Maybe you’re okay with the state having that power. Many of us aren’t, especially when innocent people have been executed.
Homie I desperately seek out death. Life clings to me.
Also the solution is super simple and has already been brought up hundreds of times. Put them on an oxygen mask, at some point without their knowledge, swap them to nitrogen.
I thought of this as well, but it’s a safety issue. Amassing that amount of invisible gas next to a room full of spectators who presumably aren’t trained to detect hypoxia is a recipe for a disaster.
He held his breath as long as possible. Read what happens when you do that.

There was nothing wrong with the method, this guy chose to suffer. As soon as he started breathing the nitrogen it was done.
He was desperately trying to cling to life. Are you saying you wouldn’t?

Maybe don’t kill people then
Y’all have empathy for the wrong ass people.

Skip the mask. Just exchange the air in the room with nitrogen. You don’t notice.

Rooms like those have oxygen sensors to make sure that people are alerted in case of a problem.
That’s torture. You just described a method of torture. Congratulations.
K, so I feel like that doesn’t even require a response.
I’m sorry are we letting the Mafia execute people now?
