Ohio set to kill another one
10AM 2/3/04 will mark the end of another human blife at the hand of the state...that's you and me, brother. They will use lethal injection, a process outlawed in 18 states for ANIMALS. That's right. You cannot kill a dog in these states this way but human beings are open season.

And forget about God's power of redemption....It's not worth the risk. Kill 'em all!!!

1. If society chooses to allow capital punishment....
and the Supreme Court has consistently allowed it, lethal injection is certainly far more humane than any other option. Were I convicted to death, I'd far prefer an injection and sleep over hanging, electrocution, or cyanide.

3. Not exactly true.
I'd have to dig up stuff buried somewhere in the messy gigabytes on my hard drive, but a number of doctors have already discussed just what those chemicals are.

You don't go peacefully to sleep. You are conscious while you feel something like acid through your veins, but you are too paralyzed to do anything about it. You then also feel your heart and lungs constricting. Kind of like being embalmed while alive and then then a 5 minute heart attack while drowning.

Nope, lethal injection is not a nice way to go, albeit probably not as bad as hanging, garotting, or some other particularly nasty ways we've done them in the past. Cyanide and elctrocution, when done right, are probably preferable.

The Chinese give you a bullet in the back of the head. Fast, but they charge the family for the bullet.

2. Yep, and somewhat of a local person for me.
Next county over, about 20 minutes away, his hometown was. And this one ain't "volunteering" like the other one did.

5. What's up in Ohio these days?
I read about a recent execution there on another website. It was appalling. Made me break down crying fergawdsake.

Ohio is beginning to sound like texas during bushco. Yikes

4. I can understand killing...
under many circumstances, although I'm against the concept myself.

What I have never been able to understand is the ritual killing of a condemned prisoner. It is primitive and barbaric.

It brings to mind human sacrifice. Another concept I find difficult to understand.

7. Just for the heck of it
do you have a link, or maybe a name? I'll check back after work, but somehow, I don't think the person is being put to death for failure to return overdue library books.

Not that I'm cynical or nothing, but I've been burned before by posters lamenting the raw deal a convict is getting by the system. :shrug:

9. Spent the last half-hour
looking for details on the crime that John Glenn Roe committed resulting in his sentence of death and its execution on February 3, 2004. I know tht he murdered a young woman, Donette Crawford, but why he ws sentenced to death for a murder as opposed to other similar crimes but no death penalty,

Show me the moneyl

8. I wonder if he will go quietly?
It upsets the good old boys and girls who love the ultimate punishment when they don't. I'm not for letting bad people go free. I just don't see the need to kill them. Incarceration for life is no cake walk.
