Probably saying she made a deal with the devil to live or smth
Will she get a Fox News interview to talk about how sexy she thought Jesus was while she was dead?
I’m so dissapointed all I got was the impossibly bright glowing orb in my NDE
That's gotta feel weird. Waking up after being executed.
Twice 😳
Heck of a way to find you that you're immortal.
This is some fucked up morbid shit.
Please tell me I'm not the only one with these scenes running through my head.
But seriously. This is no anomaly. This may be a more stark example than most, but it's part of a running pattern of botched executions. What more do people have to see to be swayed that capital punishment is barbaric and should be abolished?
I unironically believe we should bring back firing squads, if we're keeping executions at all.
Lethal injection is so fickle and extremely painful/terrifying for the victim (look to doctor reports on the three drugs used -- youre basically paralyzed but in constant agony the whole time, but because youre paralyzed it looks really peaceful)
Firing squad, but it should be staffed by a random section of pro capital punishment voters.
“You want people to die for their crimes? Cool, you do it then"

I’m vehemently against death penalties, but if we wanted to make it “humane”, which is a gross misuse of the word, we’d just use nitrogen. There’s genuinely no reason for anything else besides intentional suffering and money
The problem with nitrogen is it's comfortable for the executioner and scalable. Historically that combination doesn't go well
Well this shit is clearly also not working. Hey here's an idea, let's not allow the state to execute citizens!
Yeah, carbon monoxide is already a popular home remedy for a shitty life so why not?
Ugh, like a chemical bronze bull... yeah it's freaking horrifying.
I looked up this bronze bull of yours, and it's nasty.
(For others who didn't know, apparently this ancient Greek tyrant put people inside a hollow bronze bull, closed the lid, and lit a fire underneath, so that while the person inside cooks to death their screams bellow out of the Bull's mouth)
Firing squads ain't exactly instant, either.
Yeah but at least it doesn't look peaceful, which is appropriate for the barbaric act that every kind of capital punishment is.
The electric chair doesn't look peaceful. Now, for sure, we should not be using it (or implementing capital punishment at all). But it's also one of the most haunting methods. The electricity can cause fires or tremors even after death.

Guillotine! It may not be pretty, but it is quite literally designed to stop human error. So far i have not heard of anyone surviving getting their head cleanly removed from the shoulders.
i can very much see firing squads go wrong - leading to a drawn out, painful death.
Absolute insanity.
We need to end the barbaric practice of capital punishment.
But important detail:
I live in one of the "formally suspended" states (Oregon). Capital punishment is entrenched in the state constitution, but state officials have done their darn best to get around that. The governor commutes all death sentences to life imprisonment. The execution chamber and death row were both dismantled, and the state has no way to procure the drugs needed for lethal injection, the only approved method of execution. A "temporary" moratorium has been in effect for over a decade.
There hasn't been an execution in Oregon in almost 30 years.
There's the North and there's the South.
We don't get along and we are not the same.
We have fought wars between us. The South lost, but was let off too easy, and continued their ignorant, hateful slavery ways in their culture this whole time.
People not from the US need to understand that while the US is one country, the different states being United is highly conditional. Even different parts internally of each state.
Europeans don't understand that American states are probably closer to different European countries, and that's not even including the multiethnic diversity aspect of the USA.
Nah man, US states are nowhere near as diverse as European countries. They are more diverse than German landers, or UK countries, but nowhere near as diverse as entire countries (eg Belgium vs the Netherlands).
That's fair.
And while it remains on the books in California, there hasn't been an execution there in over 20 years.

Where I live, the death penalty in the Philippines is abolished for almost three decades, yet some people I met -- especially middle- and lower-class people -- insist on having it and corporal punishment reinstated, believing society would be supposedly much safer like Saudi Arabia (which does carry out forced amputation and beheading, but still is not really an effective deterrent), but ignoring completely that their everyday problems such as petty thievery are ultimately caused by class struggle and unequal distribution of wealth and resources.
That although there were no execution of prisoners during the Duterte regime, nonetheless thousands have been executed for minor drug-related offenses with not even seeing a courtroom, by either hired gunmen or by law-enforcement officials in disguise.
They're beheading the wrong people.

So... Is this like a movie scenario where she gets to go free?
I mean death penalty opinions aside, does it make sense to give medical care to someone you're trying to kill? What a weird world we live in.
I mean if they can technically say "Hey she was probably dead for a second." Then she served her sentence, right?
Considering she spent 30 years on death row prior, which isn't the punishment she was sentenced to, I think a case could be made. Morally speaking of course, legally it's Tennessee.
I mean, in Westerns you can't be hanged twice.
First time?
We, as a society, are trying to kill her, not torture her. The constitution explicitly bans torture
It's a fine line between execution and torture

Can you imagine, getting executed and then waking up in a hospital days later.
"You're finally awake. You were trying to cross the border, weren't you?"

She's doing better than Mitch McConnell.
She's definitely killed orders of magnitude fewer people than Mitch has.
In a normal society this horrific sequence of events would be cause to reexamine what was done and determine if it's appropriate for the state to continue murdering its citizens.
