Quick and painless execution was solved long ago. Shotgun from behind them. Like a light switch turning off. But it is rough on the guards.

The real problem is we keep finding innocent people on death row. People that SCOTUS can’t even hand waive away. Until recently anyways, SCOTUS just up and ruled that new evidence can’t be considered by federal courts. So now innocent people on Death Row are pretty much just relying on the good will of the governor.

So yeah, we know we’re killing innocent people and we refuse to stop.
