Ohio politicians may be poised to consider whether the state might break its unofficial moratorium on the death penalty by following Alabama in using nitrogen gas to execute inmates.
Ohio hasn’t executed anyone since 2018. In 2020, Republican Gov. Mike DeWine declared lethal injection “no longer an option,” citing a federal judge’s ruling that the protocol could cause inmates “severe pain and needless suffering.”
Republican state Attorney General Dave Yost scheduled a news conference Tuesday to discuss “next steps to kickstart” Ohio’s capital punishment system. He has expressed support for the nitrogen gas method used for the first time in Alabama last week, when convicted murderer Kenneth Eugene Smith, 58, was put to death with nitrogen gas administered through a face mask to deprive him of oxygen.
JUST FUCKING SHOOT THEM!
You can argue about whether the death penalty should exist all you want until you’re blue in the face but the fact is it exists.
Shoot them in the fucking head and be done with it.
No torture. No chemicals. No mistakes. Just alive one second and dead the next.
And before anyone comes at me with “pEoPlE sUrViVe GuNsHoTs!!11!1!” Not without medical attention. You shoot someone in the brain stem with a .45acp they’re fuckin dead. They’re just fuckin dead.
The most expensive part is the cleanup which is nothing compared to the costs of setting up these fucking torture chambers.
It’s called a firing squad execution. Those are the words you’re looking for.
And it’s an option for some
