I decided to look into the previous execution and I am now fully
Copied from Wikipedia:
CW for horrific violence
Despite the fact that Smith had a motion to stay his execution pending before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit, at 7:45 p.m. on November 17, 2022, a lawyer for the Alabama Department of Corrections emailed Smith’s lawyers to let them know they were preparing him for execution.[13] Smith spoke with his wife, and at 7:57 p.m. prison guards ended his phone call with her.[13] Smith was handcuffed and shackled and taken to the execution chamber.[13] Two minutes later, at 7:59 p.m. the Eleventh Circuit issued a stay of execution, which Smith’s lawyers immediately provided to the Alabama Department of Corrections.[13]
The Department of Corrections replied that they had received notice of the stay, but did not inform Smith or allow him to speak with his lawyers, instead keeping him strapped to a gurney in the execution chamber.[13] At 10:00 p.m. the execution team entered and attempted to place an IV into Smith’s arm. At approximately 10:20 p.m. the United States Supreme Court lifted the Eleventh Circuit’s stay of execution. Smith told a member of the execution team that they were inserting the needle into his muscle, but the team member told him that was not true.[13] The team then moved Smith into an inverted crucifixion position and left the room, returning after a few minutes to inject him with an unknown substance, despite Smith’s objection.[13] Another individual began repeatedly stabbing Smith’s collarbone with a needle, attempting to place a central IV line.[13] The results were unsuccessful and at approximately 11:20 p.m. Smith’s execution was called off.[13] Smith was unable to walk or lift his arms on his own, and was sweating and hyperventilating.[13] This marked the third consecutive botched execution by the state of Alabama.[13]
so my guess is they’re experimenting with a replacement they can source easily.
This is precisely it. The reason lethal injection is so commonly fucked up in the US is because there is no standardized cocktail of drugs used. It varies literally prison by prison, and doesn’t even need a physician’s approval. I can’t remember where I read it, but I recall reading about one state where the drugs chosen were chosen by the prison warden solely by vibes
Guilt.
The button that activates these execution methods - lethal injection, electric chairs, etc - are not placed so the executioner can see or hear the event. It’s abstracted to a single switch
In firing squad executions, it became common to randomly assign only a couple weapons with live cartridges, the rest with blanks, because it turns out to be very difficult to look at a human being and fire, and the possibility of one having a blank round meant they could walk away and tell themselves their gun just went click
These days though, with how frothing chuds are, I’m sure you’d find volunteers, which is fucking grim
30·2 years agoAre you ok with a man who has no problem calling for a genocide of his own right here in the US as well as hunting down and killing/hauling people for disagreeing with him? What real alternative is there right now in 2024?
The Democrats have proven time and time again that they won’t lift a fucking finger to protect anyone, even those they claim to support, from violence. They’ll tut and wag their finger, but will never actually step in to protect trans rights, for instance. They won’t when they’re in power, and they won’t when they’re not. Roe v Wade was broken up under a Democratic president. Vicious anti-queer laws were passed country wide under a Democratic president. The Democrats didn’t do shit
“Oh but the President’s power is limited”, “oh but those are state level affairs”, “oh but-” shut the fuck up. Either the office of the president is powerful enough for the threats you talk about to be credible, or it’s weak enough that a president can’t stop those threats. You get to choose one, not both. And frankly, any fucking country where the President doesn’t have an ability or will to bring the provinces/states of that country to heel is a failed country
If the Democrats gave half a shit, they’d be fighting tooth and nail for trans rights across the country. They would use every legal method, every grey area, they would drag the Republican state senators into the oval office and threaten to CIA coup their ass if they don’t knock it off. If trans rights or a genocide of some group in the US is such an important matter, then I don’t give a fuck what methods are used to protect from that, whether George Washington would have nodded his approval, or if its written in an ancient document
4·2 years agoLots of people forget Abe was a fucking wrestler before getting into politics, man was fucking jacked
While there is no official connection, the dumbass military shirt he always wears is a R3ich product, so if anything he’s completely okay with financially supporting Nazis
I love the inherent white chauvinism of Redditors out here believing that the entire country exists to do a little song and dance for every white person who comes by. If you asked a Redditor what makes more sense, that a shopkeeper in Pyongyang is actually just a shopkeeper, or is actually some unpaid slave from a factory who’s been forced at gunpoint to act like a shopkeeper, they’ll always choose the latter
is this at bad as it sounds
One of their bestsellers is a patch called the “Operator Skull” which is a Waffen-SS Totenkopf wearing a Ukranian helmet
4·2 years agoFor a lot of these jankier old games, I usually recommend watching a long play on YouTube. No commentary and usually done by someone who knows the game well enough to get through efficiently
“Wow, you actually believe China? They always lie, the shell probably doesn’t even exist, stop reading SeeSeePee propaganda”
- some lib about ten seconds before this round annihilates an aircraft carrier
This is just the plot of Top Gun narrated by a man who is furiously masturbating the entire time
Also calling the F-15 the greatest air-to-air gun platform in existence is fucking hilarious when it’s armed exactly the same as every contemporary fighter (a single 20/30mm cannon for emergencies) and isn’t particularly agile… Especially compared to the Su-27, famously one of the first jets to have supermaneuverability, basically controlled stalling to break the laws of physics in a fight
5·2 years agoA More Civilized Age and The Shriekcast are similar. Both are hosted by left leaning hosts and both are media critiques, the first being about Star Wars and how the Jedi suck ass, and the second starting with Harry Potter and how it sucks ass before transitioning to other popular YA (Twilight and the Hunger Games trilogy). Both aren’t explicitly political but both are definitely left wing
14·2 years agoWhy are you spreading Russian propaganda? Fucking Putinites smdh my dick head, what time is it in Moscow comrade?
Absolutely never
Any aircraft sent to Ukraine would be destroyed within the hour. Nobody is going to want to throw away part of their air force
In addition, the North Korean character is shown pretty explicitly as being abused by a South Korean group focused on “helping detectors”. She is financially extorted for even more money to bring the rest of her family to South Korea, while iirc also being SA’d by the guy who’s supposedly helping
Bradley devastates T90
Love when my devastated tank obviously continues to function despite taking multiple rounds, with the video cutting away just as the T90 pops smoke and hits the reverse
Also no fucking shit Russia will occasionally lose equipment. It’s fighting a war with peer equivalent equipment. Everyone is so poisoned from 20 years of the West massacring barely armed farmers that they forget that in peer level conflicts, losses are going to happen
The War of 1812 had the Americans as aggressors still, they’re the ones who kicked it off.
Without a strong military in the past we would certainly not be here today and without a strong military now, who knows what other nation might decide to attack our sovereignty
Has the US even had a credible threat to its sovereignty since it’s formation? I genuinely cannot think of a war the US was in where it wasn’t the aggressor, barring maybe the World Wars but neither one posed a threat to sovereignty
The original meme that sparked all this was when someone compared a photo of Xi and Obama walking together with a photo of Winnie the Pooh and Tigger walking together
No points for guessing who was who
That one got iirc banned from Chinese social media but not Winnie the Pooh overall
