The news headlines have been flooded with inmates complaining of the method used to put them to death. Now, it is my understanding that you are probably not sentenced to death unless you have committed a violent or heinous crime. That probably means that your victim was put through torture and/or pain in the process of their death. So, who is it that said, "Yea, we will spend taxpayer dollars defending law suits filed by violent criminals who are slightly unhappy with the drugs used to give them a painless death."? Somewhere out there is a judge who is a couple of bricks shy of a full load! I understand their filing appeals to try and prevent being put to death - I don't agree with it, but understand why they would want to do that. I don't understand why we are even hearing these cases. They gave up every basic human right the instant they committed that crime. I'm not talking about the 16 year old who got caught drinking one night. These are murders, etc. that were violent. These criminals have no rights in my opinion. And the fact that they are being put to death by lethal injection is a far cry more grace than most of them deserve.
And the majority of death row inmates haven't been there for just a few days - I have paid to house them, feed them, provide medical care to them, etc. for years. Too bad there's not a democracy in place to say how our hard-earned tax dollars are spent, huh?
