An Alabama inmate would be the test subject for the “experimental” execution method of nitrogen hypoxia, his lawyers argued, as they asked judges to deny the state’s request to carry out his death sentence using the new method.

In a Friday court filing, attorneys for Kenneth Eugene Smith asked the Alabama Supreme Court to reject the state attorney general’s request to set an execution date for Smith using the proposed new execution method. Nitrogen gas is authorized as an execution method in three states but it has never been used to put an inmate to death.

Smith’s attorneys argued the state has disclosed little information about how nitrogen executions would work, releasing only a redacted copy of the proposed protocol.

    No vengeance or rage. Stop projecting nonsense. Redemption isn’t real, you don’t redeem yourself after harming someone so greatly and it is beyond disgusting you think an innocent is so worthless we can kill them and forgive the one who harmed them. Fuckin nonsense.

    You’re just wrong. Some people got to die. No anger or hate about it they forfeited their right to enjoy our society. They do not get our food, they do not get water. They have no freedom not even that of thought. I do not wish some murderer to enjoy reading a book or get to see the sun rise.

    You absolutely can have a stable society where the state murders people. They do it all the time. The problem is unjust murders.

    Nazis should die. Rapists should die. Child rapists should die twice. People who condone genocide should die. Murders should die.

    There is no irony in me wishing for these people to not exist. I do not do that shit, normal people don’t do that shit. Trauma begets trauma so let’s cut these cancerous fucks out of society. Fuck off with your Christian redemption. It doesn’t matter if you’re Christian or not, that belief stems from Christianity. Redemption is not a thing, especially not a thing humans are allowed to decide.

      Where the hell are you getting “Some people need to die”?

      No they don’t.

      I’m not a christian. Stop using a rejection of christianity as though it means anything when it comes asserting killing people is wrong.

      You seem to agree people shouldn’t kill people, and you don’t appear to be christian, so clearly there is a non-christian source for that presumption.

        The idea of Redemption is Christian. Once you realize all you’re doing is feeding someone who brought serious harm on another and there is no redemption bullshit you see it is wrong.

        People knew murder was wrong before Christianity.

        Bad people don’t deserve to share the world with us

          What? No it isn’t.

          You sound like you’re mad your parents took you to church, which is fair, although you are channeling that anger into advocating social execution, which isn’t fair.

          You haven’t offered a single argument for why anyone should be killed. Ever.

          You talk about things being christian to beg questions that that makes them wrong without addressing if those positions either are wrong or are christian.

            What a moron.

            Evil people exist, we prove sometimes they have done great evil. They should then be dealt with.

              By …doing evil?

              You keep begging the question that people have to die and haven’t explained what benefit society gains by killing anyone.
