The state plans to carry out the first U.S. execution via nitrogen hypoxia with Kenneth Smith, who survived an earlier attempt to execute him by lethal injection

Death to America, and death to the South in particular. Scorch that motherfucking earth.

    Is nitrogen hypoxia the one that doesn’t trigger the feeling of suffocation? Redditors love that shit because it lets them claim it’s painless and feel good about the prison system murdering people.

      If done well nitrogen hypoxia should be like falling asleep and never waking up. If you fuck it up by somehow not removing CO2 fast enough, it feels like suffocating.

      It's probably better then lethal injection, but still really fucked up.

      Yep, but people will still seize and vomit sometimes so it's often not visually pleasant.
