@GottaLaff This is very disappointing. It is a horrible death.

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Snowshadow I'm totally against the death penalty. I hate this.

Snowshadow ,
@Snowshadow@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Me too. I don't care how awful someone is that does not give us the right to do the same. Esp. this way. It is inhumane. Animals are not allowed to be put to death using this method!

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Snowshadow Agree!!! And there are those who are not guilty who are put to death. It's just insane.

Snowshadow ,
@Snowshadow@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff Yes. Too often the innocent are on death row.

@GottaLaff
I think "state sponsored ritual killing in the name of criminal justice" is a better description than the euphemistic "execution".

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Steve98052 Agree.

@GottaLaff the states are gonna kill hundreds this year, now that SCOTUS has given the go ahead with the easiest execution method ever.

@GottaLaff it very much is. I hate that they do this evil in my name.

@GottaLaff i have a syndrome called by some "the suicide disease."

i looked into death by nitrogen. there is an activist who 3d prints a chamber for those without other options. the human body reacts to too much co2. it does not do the same thing for nitrogen, or a lack of oxygen.

@GottaLaff These radical, right wing hacks were never pro life… These fools just want to dictate what women do with their own bodies… PS: They execute people by nitrogen gas now??

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@customer228 Hence my hashtag, which I've used for years and years.

@GottaLaff didn't you know that life begins at conception and ends at birth?

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@erikriffle If they thought life began at conception, they wouldn't block $$ for food, poverty, and health programs that help the fetus and the person carrying it thrive.

erikriffle ,
@erikriffle@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff "and the person carrying it" ah you see, there's your problem right there

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@erikriffle How so?

erikriffle ,
@erikriffle@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff they care only of the fetus

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@erikriffle That's what I'm saying. They don't. If they did, they wouldn't cut programs that help it thrive. The person carrying it is incidental btw. Kinda hard to not include them.

erikriffle ,
@erikriffle@mastodon.social avatar

@GottaLaff 100% agreed. You'd think things like free school lunches would be a no-brainer for the party of protecting children

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@erikriffle (And I do appreciate your sarcasm)

@GottaLaff "there were no noted dissents" is such a damning statement on just where we are as a country.

@GottaLaff Is electrocution that far behind...? 🤔

GottaLaff OP ,
@GottaLaff@mastodon.social avatar

@Aviva_Gary I detest the death penalty

@Aviva_Gary@noc.social avatar

@GottaLaff Oh dude... I live in the state that makes it a flicking art form...

But yeah... with how this is going, they might try it??? 👀
