Thankfully.
The anti-death penalty crowd has been rooting for botched executions (so much for the travesty of it) in order to use the “crisis” to end death penalties.
“I think we had a little flash of hope that it would help our cause, but all it did was generate a lot of conversation about it,” said Lydia Polley, a longtime member of the Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty. “It just led to people thinking of better ways to kill them.”

Based on the case (if it’s a no-brainer that someone indeed, no doubt about it, committed a heinous and brutal murder) I don’t care if you fly over the ocean and throw them out of a plane.
How were they “botched?”
They’re dead, aren’t they?
Dianny said it.
If they were really ‘botched’ the scumbags would still be alive.
For me, the “botched” part comes where it takes 20+ years to execute ’em.
And several million in legal fees.
Why are heinous criminals executed humanely? They didn’t kill their victim humanely.
@Dianny — No, you’re thinking of the only capital punishment for which liberals are greatly enthusiastic — a botched abortion. Because the defenseless, unborn, baby is guilty of being in a liberal womb.
I’m not sure why executions have been made so complicated. Why not a simple IV opiate overdose.
Bullets are by far the cheapest and most humane.

Liberals try to make the chemicals impossible to get, out the executioners, claim any doctors are violating their oath, and then complain that it didn’t go off flawlessly.
Hanging works. The electric chair works. Firing squad works.
Gunpowder and lead, never fails and it’s cheap.
I like the ocean idea. Or if we can’t kill, how.about we teach them pashtoon and let loose in paki tribal areas?
What would the Romans do?
Out here (Utah) they are talking about bringing back the firing squad. Why? It works. I can only add “Let’s do it.” Instant, and not botchable.
I vote for the guillotine. it is the only method that the vital organs come through undamaged which allows them to be harvested and transplanted in those law abiding citizens who are on the long lists in need of organ donors.
Well waddya know. Very same libs who are opposed to the death penalty are in favor of doctor assisted suicide.
How about a late term Abortion….it’s gross but it works.
