Lethal Injection Fuckups

Clayton Lockett’s execution in Oklahoma was halted by the state’s prison director after Lockett gritted his teeth, tried to lift his head and convulsed. Oklahoma was using a new sedative as part of its three-drug lethal injection procedure. Blinds were lowered to block the view of witnesses. When halted, Lockett already had been declared unconscious by a physician. The state corrections agency said Lockett died later of a heart attack. An autopsy was being conducted.

I don't get it. We put maybe millions of dogs, cats, horses etc. to sleep every year with a quick and painless injection. Most of us have been with an animal when it was put down. It takes about 30 seconds and then simply go to sleep, they stop breathing and their heart stops. Nothing to it. Why can't the do the same with a person?

(I'm anti capital punishment for the record, but still)

Zactly. Its almost comical - the Achilles heel of the death penalty may prove to be the inability of America to continue to produce sodium thiopental. 8th Amendment challenges to these kinds of executions will be flying fast and furious.

I am for firing lines, but against lethal injection.

Bullets > expensive weird euro concoctions of death
 
I am opposed to the death penalty because the government regularly fucks up (see all the DNA evidence exonerations) but I support sick bastards who are clearly guilty getting bludgeoned to death in prison while serving a life sentence (see Jeffrey Dahmer).
