Oct 2012

Blowing someone to bits with a mortar, causing instant death...

Or strapping someone to a table and giving them just enough anesthetic they wake up to find they're completely paralyzed and can't breathe, then they get hit with another chemical that causes searing pain over their whole body until their heart stops.and their brain shuts down.

The US has no right to judge the barbarism of an execution when we use the worst one that's ever been invented.
