Oh I got it, maybe they should jam some scissors into their neck and snip their spinal cord to do the deed....ya know, since thats not murder and all that jazz.
If it was up to me we would have public hangings. Since it’s not up to me, I don’t know why we don’t use nitrogen asphyxiation. Quick and painless.

Imagining this from the point of view of those that conduct the execution I don't think participating in something that would cause the condemned to be dispatched in some grotesque way that would be traumatic to both the condemned and the executioner(s) is acceptable.
Nitrogen gas asphyxiation using an exit bag seems like the most efficient and humane way to execute someone using a proven technology with little chance of the process being bungled in some awful way by the executioner(s).

I thought the idea of using a nitrogen generator to fill the sealed room was a great idea.
Let the system pump the room full of 100% nitrogen - displacing the oxygen, as the oxygen level drops they fall asleep - and eventually dies.
After x time-frame, vent to atmosphere - and everything is fine.
Air is already 78% nitrogen, so no toxic chemicals/drugs/or lead is required.
Agreed in principal. There is too many KNOWN ways for an execution to occur - even painlessly.
No excuse.

Four pages and no one mentioned the guillotine? The blade takes the head so fast that its probably pain free. It uses no electricity and is renewable. Buy it once and never pay for it again.
Absolutely it could!
It's a simple matter... they talk about this shite in the news like it's feckin' rocket science. It's not. Not even close, not a bit. Like I said, given a cabinet full of standard meds kept in EVERY hospital in America, there's always something to put people to sleep (how many of ya'll have had surgery??) and any one of a ton of other drugs will achieve the other goal. Plain old potassium chloride, of course, will work.
The prohibition on cruel and unusual punishment was not because the founders were squeamish about inflicting pain on convicts, by the way. It’s an important constitutional protection for the innocent as much as for the guilty. Please go read on the subject if you don’t know what I’m talking about.
I as much as anyone would like to know that people who do things like Lockett did experience a slow, painful, fear-filled death, but I restrain my desire for retribution in the interest of justice.

And I wouldn’t have a problem with it if a medical professional was administering lethal injection. Unfortunately that’s not what happens in Oklahoma.

There is supposedly some evidence that suggests that a decapitated person remains conscious for some time after the…separation.
