“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”

Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.

Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

      The state does not care whether they are innocent as well, and that callousness is just as bad from the eyes of people living in a civilized society…

          Which opinion? That the state doesn’t care about whether a victim of a murderer is innocent or also a criminal? You can look up just about any criminal case and see that criminals are just as often victims of crime as any ‘innocent’ person. Literally, a compatriot dying while committing a crime with you will get you charged with Felony Murder.

          If you mean that the state doesn’t care if it executes innocent people, well: https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/innocence

            So aside from your opinion… and a link that doesn’t even suggest what states actually care about,

            got anything else?

        Woah there, kiddo. It appears you haven’t learned how crime and punishment works. You see, there are varying degrees of crimes, and thus- varying degrees of punishment.

        This is why shoplifters aren’t executed.

        Hopefully this simple reference will keep you from embarrassing yourself in the future.

      Civilian murderers also have justifications for their actions. I accept those justifications just as much as I do those of the State murderers.

      This place is so stupid sometimes they’d fight for the rights of their own families murderer’s. No point in trying to put facts in front of people like that. They’ve made their decision.

        Oh I know. I’d be surprised none of them reported my comment simply because they disagree with it. Lemmy LOVES being outraged.

              Seems Lemmy also loves coming to conclusions on people they know nothing about.

              So how is what I said about you being outraged different from what you said about “Lemmy” being outraged?

                Because I’m showing no indications of actually being outraged, and Lemmy does tens of thousands of times daily.

                That’s how.

                  You sound pretty outraged.

                    I can assure you, you’re reading into it wrong. Reread it again- and imagine it coming from someone that doesn’t give a shit whether or not it happens- but that they meant what they said about not being surprised- because I guarantee that it’s been reported.

                    Now I’m going to add some smiley emojis to emphasize the point as that’s apparently how people understand things now.
