‘Surreal spectacle’: US botched 35% of execution attempts this year
As 2022 draws to a close, a new grim distinction can be attached to it: in America it was the year of the botched execution.
- Was the "botched" execution any worse than the the crime they were convicted of?fooler
- See I don't understand how so many 'mericans have this "eye for an eye" mentality...we shouldn't be lowering ourselves to the level of criminals.yuekit
- In some cases they have absolutely executed people who were innocent but it shouldn't require even making that argument.yuekit
- Is the USA even a 1st world country?Chimp
- The government won't give you healthcare, but they'll kill you (unsuccessfully) for freeyuekit
- Did you guys even read the fucking article. Haha.toemaas
- 7 out of the 20 executions couldn't find a suitable vein, leading to the death warrant expiring, which leads to it being construed as a botched procedure.toemaas
- believe it or not toemaas you can argue against all capital punishment
https://i.imgur.com/…kingsteven - toemaas I think you are mixing up what it says actually. Two of the executions were cancelled, the rest were "botched" but they still executed the person.yuekit
- You could argue that. US is still a young country and this shit was previously used as a deterrent when law enforcement was inadequate. Old laws die hard.toemaas
- Ans, will still be a long time before all states get rid of it - especially in places like the South.toemaas
- So basically Americans are so unruly that the death penalty is justified? lolyuekit
