Alabama Supreme Court Green Lights Nitrogen
Gas Execution for Convict Who Survived
Lethal Injection

Original Article

Posted By: DVC, 5/5/2024 12:55:56 AM

The Alabama Supreme Court has authorized the execution of a death row inmate who previously survived after being given a lethal injection. The convict, Alan Eugene Miller, will now receive execution by nitrogen gas, the Washington Examiner reported. Alabama’s high court authorized the method in a decision Thursday. Republican Gov. Kay Ivey has not set the date for Miller’s execution. Once it’s carried out, Miller will become the second death row inmate to die by nitrogen gas in the state. However, the method has become controversial among liberal death penalty opponents. After being convicted of killing three men during a 1999 workplace shooting, Miller was set to die by lethal injection.

Comments:

Nitrogen gas execution is guaranteed painless and 100% certain to work.

Note that we all breathe 78% nitrogen every day all day. No smell, no taste, invisible. Remove the oxygen and you die, but without any sensation of any difficulty whatsoever. How can I state this with certainty? A coworker accidentally entered a volume which was filled with pure nitrogen to prevent corrosion of a large mechanical device in storage. He passed out, and fortunately he was laying back examining the device, feet outside, with a coworker present outside. When he became unresponsive, he was dragged out, into fresh air and revived. I later asked him what it felt like....he said, "I was just fine, doing my inspection and them 'click', out like a light. No hint it was coming." I have suggested this as a 100% certain and totally painless, CHEAP and also very low risk to the people doing the job, too. Afterwrds, just open a door to the death chamber and turn on a fan.....no toxic fumes to deal with, just make sure the room is well ventilated foir several minutes before entering. There are standard meters for this check already available, for going into confined spaces that may be out of oxygen. Our "need to breath" or "I'm running out of air" sensation is caused by excess CO2 in the blood stream, not by oxygen shortage. Breathing pure nitrogen permits CO2 to be expelled normally, so no excess CO2 build up, and no sensation of "out of air" occurs....just lights out when blood oxygen reaches the critical level. I first suggested this about 1978....but I didn't actually take it up as a crusade or anything. But, it will work, be cheap, safe, effective and painless. It should become the norm. And good riddance of this guy.

To be perfectly frank, all methods have become controversial among liberal death penalty opponents. There is a saying, "Some people would complain if you hung them with a brand new rope." If you object to killing people who have killed others, take it up with your state legislature.

He did not survive a Lethal Injection. If the injection did not kill him it wasn't lethal. This guy needs to be done in, but if put him on a cot to die and the idiot doing the injection didn't make it strong enough is it cruel and unusual to try to do him in again.? I am all for his execution, I am just asking a question here.

My Dear Brothers in Alabama, Please allow me to offer my services as an alternative to the planned method of garbage disposal. At my own expense, I will travel to Alabama from Texas and beat this miscreant to death with my lovely, vintage, thirty-six inch, All-American made Louisville Slugger in the style of one Alphonse Capone. I can perform the execution in the prison yard, negating the expense if a dedicated “death chamber”. Clean up can be as simple as a garden hose, or, in a more environmentally friendly approach, buzzards and insects; your choice. As noted above, there will be no charge for this service. Thank you and good day.

First of all, the state of Alabama has wasted way too much money on feeding that guy. Second, if my equine veterinarian could euthanize a thousand pound horse with one injection in a matter of about 3 seconds, why can’t we do the same to heinous criminals? I don’t know what they injected into him that failed but all prisons should just bring in the local vet to take care of the problem.

One of the main reasons I'm here is to learn new things. #1 is always informative. Well done, as usual. In some cases death penalty is proper, although it is always too delayed. President McKinley's assassin went to the chair seven weeks after his crime. I haven't heard it suggested that he was railroaded, or anything like that. He was guilty. And he got to pay. Several decades ago Utah's laws called for condemned murderers to be hanged or shot, both of which work well. Tennessee where I grew up had the Chair. But if an evil person needs to be hanged, the executioner ought to tie a better knot than what looked like the simple slip knot that did in Saddam Hussein. It ripped his neck. No wonder he wanted to be shot. Dang it, he was the president of Iraq! So make the rope nice. Have plenty of loops above the noose (7 to 13). Hang it over his left shoulder before the trap door opens. If you have to hang an evil man, do it right.

I am in favor of the death penalty, but make ABSOLUTELY sure that they have the correct perp, as there is no 'undo' on this. I'm with #1 on the method. On the other hand, part of me says -and again be ABSOLUTELY SURE that they have the murderer- then the murderer should die in the same way that they killed their victim, whether it was shooting them, stabbing them, beating them to death, running them over with a car, or whatever. Remember the Thug who doused a young lady with Gasoline and then set her on fire? I say the SAME should be done to him! link: https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/10/11/jessica-chambers-mississippi-murder-trial/753723001/

Not reading ANYTHING about this case. Legally wasn't the death penalty carried out? Meaning the required punishment for the crime was done?. If so is anything relative to the case after the punishment valid? Just because he survived the execution, the punishment WAS carried out per the law. Legally wouldn't you say the individual has now served his punishment and should go free as any convict who has served his prescribe punishment in the legal system.

Re#15: No, the death penalty was NOT carried out. Every death warrant contains the words "until he is dead". He did not die, therefore the execution was incomplete. Repeat as necessary "until he is dead".

Suffice to say, all is not well for the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry these days. Despite ample subsidies from the federal government, EV sales are slumping. Some of the largest automakers, such as Mercedes Benz, admit they won’t come close to hitting their EV sales estimates over the next few years. And Tesla, the king of EVs, just announced its lowest quarterly profit over the past two years. After the Tesla news broke, the company’s shares cratered, leading to a $138 billion decline in value.

Actor Mike Heslin, best known for his role on Taylor Sheridan’s Special Ops: Lioness, has died after an “unexpected cardiac event.” He was 30. The Independent reports Heslin was admitted to hospital for a week-long stay after the medical episode before he died on 2 July. The death was announced by the actor’s partner, Nicolas James Wilson, who goes by the name of Scotty Dynamo on social media. “Michael was young, in perfect health, and the doctors have no explanation for what happened,” Wilson wrote alongside images of himself and Heslin, including photographs from their wedding in November last year.

Bernstein told CNN that these Biden supporters said, “There have been numerous instances where the president has lost his train of thought, can’t pick it up again.” The New York Post editorialized that Democrats and their “media enablers” have attempted to hide Biden’s cognitive decline.

The main headline out of the UK is that the Conservative party was stunningly defeated. Not only was Prime Minister Sunak given the boot, but Labour swept the board. What also happened is that Reform UK, which is the MAGA party of the United Kingdom, won a large share of the popular vote (although that didn’t move the Parliamentary needle much). Still, I suspect that the UK is on the glide path to what we’ve already seen in Italy, France, and the Netherlands—namely, unhappy people of all races but shared values giving the boot to open borders and Islamism.

But the signs are unmistakable. Unless Biden can shed 20 years and appear to be hale and hearty enough to stay up past 8:00 p.m., he's a goner no matter how badly he wants to stay in the race. The noise has been deafening all day. Donors, Democratic politicians, and ordinary people are all calling for Biden's exit from the race. To make matters worse, his inner circle of advisors has shrunk to just two of his closest aides:

However, the mistake is likely to accelerate calls among congressional Democrats for the 81-year-old to end his bid for a second term.

James Buchanan, a Democrat, sat on his hands as the nation slid into the Civil War, which would eventually kill 2.5% of the nation's population. When Republicans took away their slaves, Democrats responded with Jim Crow laws to keep black people down and the KKK to terrorize them with near impunity for generations. Many consider Woodrow Wilson to be the grandfather of progressivism, a racist, and a fiend. FDR refused to pass an anti-lynching law as black people were being hung throughout the Democrat-run South.
