    At the time firing squad was employed in my country, the person to be executed was usually shot by a specified beachside, by a squad selected from different regions from the country,so there's no clean up after. Aim was set to the chest or so, with a coupe de gras to the head.

    The current most painless execution is firing squad, but the most humane and painless is death by nitrogen hypoxia. Think of the gas chambers but no choking or discomfort, you experience a type of high and then slowly pass out, and die in peace. They can turn it off and you'll regain consciousness and live if you've been pardoned, but you may have brain damage depending on how long you were in there. Lethal injection has to be one of the most inhumane and painful ways of execution in the US currently. The chair is preferable over it.

    The two electronic chair stories instantly reminded me of the film by Stephan Spielberg "The Green Mile" where the French guy gets fried after Percy purposely doesn't wet the sponge. I wonder how many times this has happened. Or if Spielberg read a story of one of the men in this video and that's how he came up with the idea. What is described in this video is exactly what happens in The Green Mile. Face eyes and mouth with flames coming out of them and the terrible stench of burning hum flesh. It essentially cooks your entire body from within. Imagine the pain as your brain fries and other organs. Another horrific way of execution. Even when it works it's must be painful.

      There was a lose wire in the panel box. I grabbed the wire and was looking for the breaker it belonged to.

      I took my free hand, and chopped at the hand on the conductor. It fell away from the panel, and I was safe.
      If I had touched the grounded panel, then I would be dead.

    As someone who is a "hard stick" (inability for phlebotomists to find a vein) due to past drug use, i can confirm the difficulties they experience trying to access a vein. I now have a blood cancer (polycythemia) which requires monthly blood draws and what they do is send me to the hospital for them to perform either a MID-line or a PIC-line. This procedure is done using an ultrasound to find a deep vein (usually on the underside of my bicep). The pic-line has a long IV tubeline (vs. the mid-line which is considerably shorter) inserted into the vein that runs all the way next to your heart. For my monthly blood draw, i get a mid-line inserted as it a short-term use option. The pic-line is usually inserted when they have a long-term necessity for an IV (eg, an extended hospital stay) .
    All to say, they "should have" offered this option to the Death Row inmate PRIOR to his execution. Alternatively, medical professionals should also know about intravenous method through the neck as an option. I know they mentioned this in the video ("let's go through the jugular...") but for some reason that too wasnt successful?!?
    They should have already been made aware of a patient's pastmedical history (e.g. past drug use, hence, collapsed veins) and thus been better prepared. This sounds like either:
    A) Bush league medical staff
    B) Apathetic level of care towards a death row patient
    Im leaning towards (B.), but who knows? Maybe there was another option I'm unaware of....🤔

    my final for government was modeling the process of passing a bill. We had to create a vein, present it to the class, then the class would vote on if it gets passed or not. My bill was banishing the death penalty via lethal injection. It was pretty convincing and passed

    This video outlines a small aspect of what is wrong with the death penalty. It doesn’t deter crime, it’s costly on taxpayers. The legal system in the US is flawed.

      Nobody cares about deterrence, everyone is free to make the same mistakes and pay the same price if that's what they want. It's about justice and making sure they never offend again.
