▲ 751 ▼ Kenneth Smith ‘struggled for life’ for 22 minutes in Alabama nitrogen gas execution: Updates (www.independent.co.uk) submitted 2 years ago by some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org to c/news@lemmy.world 581 comments fedilink hide all child comments “Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.” Pretty compassionate way to kill a person. Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.
[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago Why not use like a scuba mask with a tank of nitrogen instead of oxygen? Scuba masks are seemingly airtight. Or even a collar with a helmet like an astronaut suit. A lot easier to evacuate oxygen from a suit than an entire room. permalink fedilink source parent
