#Alabama #Execution #Nitrogen
That’s rich that he said man wasn’t meant to do this to one another. I guess you forgot that party when you murdered that innocent woman.
Someone must’ve forgotten about the story about Abel and Cain.
HIS MIND IS NOT WELL. AFTER THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO PUT HIM TO HIS DEATH. AND ONLY FATHER GOD KNOWS IF THIS TIME IS THE SAME. BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN IN PSALM 139. ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING!😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
Regardless of what a criminal does, we do not become a criminal to prove to others that murder is wrong. Not a religious person, but Jesus said turn the other cheek, not an eye for an eye.
@@PixiemonCards Personally, I’m not taking the advice of someone that was nailed to wood.
Why are they using him as a guinea pig? Is all this drama supposed to be part of his punishment? Why not just an overdose of sleeping pills and alcohol, or whatever people are killing themselves with these days?
This just show how Americans are crackheads of the world
😳
Jeez Alabama is pos state … what a pos a holes …..
Some of these people in Alabama and other states are out of their minds…..
The poor guy should be set free
Poor guy? How about the innocent woman he murdered? Not a ‘poor guy’ in my book.
Million dollar question…..Fentanyl?
Lol. I just asked that.
😂🤣😂🤦🏾♂️
Laughing gas and fetty. .
Shooting him in the head would be more humane than gassing someone to death.
America is stuck in the middle ages.
Grotesque
I don’t believe in the death penalty because I don’t trust the state to get it correct every single time and if the argument is ” sure a few innocent people were intentionally or unintentionally executed but the vast majority were guilty percentage wise so it all works out for the best in the end ” is pretty awful if you stop and really think about it.
obviously the victims son is upset and disappointed.
he lost his wife and his kids lost their mom.
SWEET HOME ALABAMA
Alabamastan is barbaric… as is the entire South. You folks are still living in the dark ages.
😂😂😂
That’s illegal he served his death sentence once he passed that first go you have no right to try again that is against the Constitution
https://youtu.be/f2ItJe2Incs?si=X1Xj7KlkXcy5QJ-O
He was sentenced under law and the method is 100% flawless. End of story.
How is something that’s never been attempted “100% flawless”? Ignorant comment.
Lol the method has never been tried how can it be 100% flawless?
Alabama is the trash of America
Use heroin or fentynal! Even ativan. This isnt hard
The death penalty is inhumane
Take him home with you then.
I agree. I always believed that two wrongs don’t make a right.
More humane than the suffering these victims felt.
@ingGS no country in Europe has this death penalty, revenge justice and overall crime rates, homicides are much lower, not mentioning all the innocent that got executed.
@@jaaksavat7916 There’s no way to prove the crime rate would be much lower. How? The economic could be different even in the same country.
why not just jail him for life
And the taxpayers continue to pay for him to live in prison?
Because the court did not sentence him to life in prison.
You want to pay for that? Why??
@@BreakingNVainthis is like 0.01% u pay for, most of what you pay is for Ukraine and already Rich Israel (Billions and Billions)
@@geekinoffamolly8230 Get this…I don’t want to pay for that either.
It’s 2023 and they’re still executing their own citizens!! So insane. And yet they won’t shut up about their supposed “rights” 🙃🇺🇸
The United States is such a PROFOUNDLY evil country. I have NOTHING in common with you monsters — NOTHING.
This is a STUPID IDEA!!!
Prolife contradicts the death penalty.
I thought it was law if someone survives execution, the sentence was carried so they either have to let them go, or keep them locked up. Not carry out another excution.
That’s what I thought too!
That part!
Why?
If he was treated in a inhumane manner than maybe he. Has a case , not certain, 😮
That’s Hollywood fiction.
our air on Earth is 80% nitrogen. it’s only deadly if you increase the nitrogen from 80% to 100% (by removing the oxygen). so dumb how they’re acting like nitrogen is some rare and extremely toxic gas
No one said nitrogen was rare
What about putting him under with an anesthesia then overdose him on fentanyl? Painless and fast.
🤢It really is stomach turning….
….to see criminal sympathizers in the comments.🤮
Why waste their time and energy when there is a serious chance of him dying from a nuclear war this year especially if he is still in the US?
There’s never going to be a nuclear war that’s just Mexican and Russian propaganda.
Firing squad?
I thought if you survive an execution, that they can’t do it again.
You watch too much movies.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I think you’re confusing this with double jeopardy.
Lol who said?
Depends on the state. I’m not sure if that law exists anymore.
Fentanyl. Easy. Under $100 dollars.
Why don’t they just use a lethal injection of fentanyl? Fentanyl is in abundance, is super easy to administer, kills quickly in high doses, and is painless.
It’s all the same
Isn’t that double jeopardy?
No because he’s already been convicted and sentenced.
Double jeopardy means you can’t be tried for the same crime you were previously tried for after being found not guilty, acquitted, etc.
Execution is strange to begin with, but a failed attempt is a very peculiar happening. The state took their best shot, no pun intended, & failed. Should this guy get a pass? I understand that he was sentenced to death, but how many attempts should there be?
A pass for killing someone??
@dave46459 you mean an unsanctioned killing?
Good question; how many attempts should be allowed, legally speaking?
I thought you only got one crack at executing a person??? hmmm Seems dodgy to me.
I think nitrogen hypoxia is pretty humane way to go if you gotta go. Batter than injection or chair.
I thought if you survived execution, you get released 😯😂
No you go back to prison for life.
Look folks do your research it is very humane. Bad reporting Inside Edition.
I thought Alabama is a pro life state? Oh wait….only the ones that fit agendas.
His family should sue the state if this doesn’t work
How much money has Joe Obiden given away since becoming president? The trillion dollar question Woke Corporate Censored Media MSNBC wont dare answer!
Old sparky always works
He would suffocate.
And not be able to breathe.
That is barbaric.
A face and eyes like that should say…GET AWAY FROM THIS PERSON!!!!
Death penalties are wrong. Jesus said, “Love one another as I have loved you.” We MUST!
we have no way of knowing what Jesus actually said and its even debatable the Jesus you refer to ever lived. that being said if the Catholics and Christians of the world did what he supposedly said this would be a far diff world.
You don’t know what you are talking about.@@phukrnd840
Holygrace is the type of person that would spare Hitler’s life and try to convert them to Jesus just like a sinologist, Blinded by religion unable to fight evil seeing the bigger picture. @@phukrnd840
That’s being a cherry picking Christian. Jesus carried around swords and was ready for battle. Read the whole thing instead of picking and choosing what “feels right.”
@@torrisali2082 Untrue
SORRY ARE YALL SLOW?? HAS DEATH PENALTY EVER FAILED WHEN ADMINISTERED TO A BLACK MAN 😅 YALL CAN’T SEE THEY SET THIS UP FOR HIM… I JUST CANT NO MORE 😅
Gas has been used before, can’t remember who by, but I am sure Trump knows and would endorse this policy.
The irony of being pro abortion & anti death penalty 😂
Why not just grab his neck and squeeze until death? That would be less painful. 🙄
What about fentanyl??
Wow the needle sticks are too cruel? What did he do to get in death row in the first place?
eye fer an eye leaves the whole world blind Fester…
Bama… figures.
Creepy report.. Something out of a horror movie…
Just as guilty as the crime to punish death penalty
Alabama doesn’t have a good track record, who knows what will happen.
That’s horrible… dang! Just cause it’s cheaper?
Did he seriously just say man wasn’t ever supposed to take another man’s life? The irony..
man even the devil did not want him.
Bruh……. Authoritarian vibes
Why don’t they just give him a bunch of fentanyl? It’s supposed to be lethal and they won’t feel a thing , it’s very cheap too. I don’t get why the government has to make everything so complicated.
These mfs ruthless
Why all the red tape? A single cartridge of brass is just 25¢
Fentanyl
Alabamy never surprises
Why not use fentanyl it’s very deadly and there seems to be a lot?
NO. If an execution fails, no second chance. That’s insane. The details are redacted for a reason – this is an excruciating, terrible, inhumane death. Effing Alabama. Filled with hate.
Cope, hybristophile
seems like an odd concern the mask leaking in a little oxygen seeing as how a leak killed six people
I thought if yu survive deathrow dey have to let yu go 🤔
American lack compassion!
It’s something seriously wrong with Americans
Death by suffocation?
😅
WOW, NEVER BEEN USED BEFORE, MAYBE NOT IN ALABAMA BUT I REMEMBER MY PEOPLE WERE MURDERED FROM GAS AT AUSCHWITZ AND SHOAH…
Yeah and my people were murdered all kinds of way thru torture and slavery for over 400 years
@danielmathis5410 LOOK UP THE TRUTH, AFRICANS AND ARAB MUSLIMS WERE THE ORIGINAL SLAVE TRADERS WHO SOLD THE AFRICANS TO PORTUGAL AND SPAIN AND GREAT BRITAIN, THEN THEY WERE TAKEN ALL OVER THE WORLD…
@danielmathis5410 YOUR PEOPLE AIN’T FEEL ANYTHING CAUSE IT WAS MORE THAN 170 YEARS AGO, MY PEOPLE WERE GASSED IN 1940 TO 1945 AND HELD AS SLAVES FOR MORE THAN 1,000 YEARS, AND ARE STILL ATTACKED, I DON’T SEE AFRICANS AS SLAVES AND BEING ATTACKED STILL…
@@danielmathis5410 LET ME GUESS, U WANT REPARATIONS FOR WHAT REAL SLAVES 170 YEARS AGO WENT THROUGH, RIGHT…
@@danielmathis5410 MORE BLACKS GET MURDERED IN ALL THESE CITIES BY OTHER BLACKS THAN ALL THE SLAVES THAT WERE BROUGHT TO THE USA…
Well what about that husband of hers that ordered the hit?
I don’t know they botched it??? Disgusting. Let him live. Their mistake
It takes 35 years to get Justice in America? Throw your whole system into the trash. Anyone who disagrees is a clown because it’s your tax dollars that have fed, clothed, and taken care of these murderers for 35+ years. There’s always excuses why we can’t take care of our kids education, our veterans, our people’s healthcare but we’ve got no problem spending ridiculous amounts of money keeping murderers in good care for almost four decades. This Justice system is a joke.
Nitrogen is just creepy.😳😳😳
78% of the air you breath is nitrogen.
What ever happened to firing squads!?!?
Use Trump as a guinea pig.
i thought they werent supposed to tell him when hes supposed to be executed?
Back in the 1920s a man was set to go to the electric chair. So months before he routinely put his fingers in the light socket and finally became inmune to it. On the day of his execution there was a major power failure and they took him out and hanged him
AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Did you make this up?
I just found an article from Reuters on May 15, 2023 that changes my perspective. Most YT channels don’t allow links to be posted in comments but if you search: U.S. Supreme Court allows death row inmate’s lawsuit after failed execution – you should find the article.
Basically, Smith filed a lawsuit asking to be put to death using nitrogen instead of lethal injection.. He actually was then brought into the execution chamber to receive lethal injection but they couldn’t find a vein that they could insert the needle into.
This is freaking barbaric! If one attempt already failed, I thought the state doesn’t get a second chance.
I’m not sure if any of my comments posted but I’ve been trying to call you stupid for like 10 minutes
@@drcakeman – Who cares.
@@grumpyoldlady_rants if I could put this in a layman’s term or something you might understand it’s because of people like you that Jeffrey Dahmer gets back on the streets for a second chance and ultimately makes you slightly responsible for someone else’s death in the end.
@@grumpyoldlady_rants and you are clearly some dude in his mid-20.
@@drcakeman – Oh, you couldn’t be more wrong.
DEPRAVED ALABAMA COMPLETELY SICK
I thought Alabamastan was pro-life!! That’s what they say when they want pregnant women to carry a non-viable fetus to term!!! Oh right… Alabama republikkkkans aren’t really pro-life… the’re anti-woman. 🤨
the gilatin. They used it in the dark ages. ,
I thought they only got one strike at the death penalty…. I thought if you survived it that the state doesnt get to try again.
Fentanyl works and the US is awash in it thanks to the Mexican cartels.
…please….you don’t BRING someone to Alabama….that should have been…”first, we want to TAKE you to Alabama” lordy, didn’t someone there go over things like that in journalism classes?
What could possibly go wrong?🤷🏻♂️
Since air is 78% nitrogen, this might take awhile.
Yeah I was thinking the same thing.
This is against DOUBLE JEOPARDY LAW
If you collapse its your fault you want to be in there
LOL oh wow I didnt know americas opioid was extinct and we have no fentanyl left
Only time yall care about a white man is how hes being killed? Ctfu.
Their “wives” (sister/cousin)
it is like drowning
These people are playing God. Obviously God have forgiving this man and making him live. He already pay his for his crime so much years in prison. However, I am not condoning what he did.
