Oklahoma Plans To Use Nitrogen For Executions
Merrit Kennedy

After having trouble obtaining drugs needed for lethal injections, Oklahoma is planning to change its primary method of execution to nitrogen gas inhalation.

It would be the first time a U.S. state uses this method of execution, though six states have gas inhalation in their laws as a secondary method to lethal injection, according to the Death Penalty Information Center.

"We can no longer sit on the sidelines and wait to find drugs," Oklahoma Attorney General Mike Hunter told reporters. Using inert gas inhalation "will be effective, simple to administer, easy to obtain, and requires no complex medical procedures."

How to lose credibility while posting:
1. Trump is never wrong.
2. Default to the most puerile emoticon you can find. This is especially useful when you can't win an argument on merits.
3. Be falsely ingratiating, completely but politely dismissive without talking to the points, and bring up Hillary whenever the conversation is really about conservatism.
4. When all else fails, remember rule #1 and #2. Emoticons are like the poor man's tweet!

Carbon monoxide is sure death and painless. What's wrong with that?

Same reason they wouldn’t use Zyclon-B.  Nobody wants to be associated with methods employed by the Nazis in death camps.

It's tough to get a painless CO death.  Often, there's a severe headache, vomiting, suffocation feeling, convulsions, etc.

No way it would pass muster as not being "cruel".

Seems the guilliotene or the noose would seem the most humane way. (properly executed)

Likewise, @TomSea, and I note that you and I both post articles that don't share our own respective points of view.  I respect you for that, and am glad you're an active member here.
