@newsguyusa@flipboard.social Besides the obvious, ban capital punishment, I have no clue why it’s thought being strapped to a gurney to have poison pumped into your veins is more humane than being executed by gunshot, especially since injection seems to be highly problematic when the prison system is in charge, a general incompetence, low bid, willing to do it issue? Oh wait, it’s more humane for the witnesses, unless it’s botched as Shawshank Redemption comes to mind. 🤔
