Alabama will execute a convict using nitrogen

As long as you're off the burning "idea".

There are many ways of burning oxygen. You don't need a flame, it can be done chemically, mechanically, reactively. Either way leads to the destruction of free oxygen as it is consumed/combined with other elements and compounds. Soon as you get your air to 80% or better nitrogen, you have a cheap, essentially free breathable gas which will kill.
 
His attorneys are saying it will be cruel and unusual. They don't have a clue whether it would even be painful. The thing is, the Left don't want ANYONE to pay for murder.
You just made their point for them. We don't exactly know what will happen.
 
This is perplexing.

Snuff an inmate using Nitrogen?
Who is not aware we all breathe 78 percent Nitrogen?
Alabama intends on January 25 to take a convicts life by forcing him to breathe only Nitrogen.
They probably took the life of animals doing this. We need the O2 to stay alive. So in effect they are smothering this killer. We should applaud them for executing a killer who by the way they tried 3 times already. This killer seems to be superman.
Here is the killer.

They could also try 4 shots of the pfizer vax or the CS Cyanide gas the FBI used on the Davidians at Waco.

Lethal injection has been the standard method of execution in the U.S. since the 1990s. The original three-drug protocol was developed by an Oklahoma state medical examiner and included the anesthetic sodium thiopental, a paralytic drug called pancuronium bromide, and potassium chloride, which is supposed to stop the heart within minutes. Dunham described the latter as “chemical fire.”


Doctors and drug manufacturers have protested lethal injection since its inception, not wanting their products and techniques to be used for killing rather than healing. In 2011 the sole U.S. manufacturer of sodium thiopental stopped producing it. The following year a ruling by the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia essentially declared that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration could no longer allow the drug to be imported from overseas for the purpose of execution.

These changes left states scrambling for another method of execution. Some switched to using a single drug, the barbiturate pentobarbital, which is a sedative and anticonvulsant often used before surgeries or to treat epilepsy. It’s also commonly used in both veterinary and human euthanasia. Other states replaced sodium thiopental with the benzodiazepine midazolam, which is also used as a sedative before medical procedures. Neither pentobarbital nor midazolam function as an anesthetic or pain reliever.

With these changes, problems during lethal injections started to arise more frequently. In the case of John Marion Grant in Oklahoma, the drugs caused vomiting and full-body convulsions over the course of 15 minutes. In an even more horrifying event, in Arizona, Joseph Wood III gasped and snorted for nearly two hours before dying. Most recently, the people carrying out the executions for Joe Nathan James, Jr. and Doyle Lee Hamm in Alabama were unable to insert the IV lines to administer the drugs. This resulted in numerous puncture wounds and incisions in James’s and Hamm’s skin, delaying the former’s execution for hours and halting the latter’s altogether.


“The lethal-injection process, in many respects, created a myth that what you had was a simple medical procedure in which the prisoner was put to sleep,” Dunham says. “That created a false distance between the reality of capital punishment and the public perception of capital punishment.”

Experts now believe that the paralytic used in the original three-drug protocol masked the torture inmates were experiencing. Zivot and others have performed more than 200 autopsies on people killed by lethal injection using thiopental, pentobarbital or midazolam. An NPR investigation of these autopsies found that most inmates’ lungs showed evidence of pulmonary edema, the buildup of fluid that produces a feeling of drowning.

“Instead of falling off to sleep and dying, they were drowning in their own secretions and suffocating to death,
So? You’ll forgive me if I don’t shed a tear if a murderer suffered for a bit.
 
Being in the Bible Belt and all, I’m surprised they haven’t used crucifixion.
Crucifixion was used against Christians not by them.

Probably originating with the Assyrians and Babylonians, it was used systematically by the Persians in the 6th century BC. Alexander the Great brought it from there to the eastern Mediterranean countries in the 4th century BC, and the Phoenicians introduced it to Rome in the 3rd century BC.
