    I was gonna say, on paper inert gas asphyxiation shouldn’t be painful.

    In execution, well… shit. Pun not originally intended, but I’m leaving it.

      Pretty sure they’ve shown nitrogen asphyxiation on pigs hasn’t caused any discernible stress or uncomfort. This execution not only taking this long but also being that stressful, and the facility’s track record of fucking up executing this guy, makes me think some bullshit by Alabama happened to make this a painful death. Needs to be promptly and thoroughly investigated imo

      Edit yea here’s a link: mild content warning I guess, but it just shows a pig very briefly passing out and then coming to again: https://youtu.be/fPhH4nha4QA
