“Alabama has done it, and now so can you.”
An Alabama man was executed Thursday evening — becoming the first person in the United States to be executed via nitrogen gas.
Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall called yesterday’s first-in-the-country execution by nitrogen gas “textbook,” and said that Alabama is ready to help other states follow in using this method.

Revenge is a terrifying emotion. As much I abhor cruelty in any form I also feel society must have strong deterrents for horrible crimes. I along with many others across the United States see behaviors right in front of us on a daily basis that I just didn't experience a few short years ago.
WTF is wrong with him😮
No, nobody else is gonna follow because there was complications. You’re not reporting oh you forgot about those necrosis. It’s not a pretty thing divers know all about it but your medical experts that you paid off didn’t think about that. Look it up. It’s not hard it’s not fake news either. It’s a real thing. Ask any professional diver explain it to you great horrifying detail.
Pathetic!
This clown tweeted out Jan 5th for the insurrectionists to attack the Capital.
"Things have finally started to speed up." Oh, you mean you've managed to dislodge one of the logs jamming your "death factory?"
Maybe grieving families would not have to wait months and years for closure if "an eye for an eye," wasn't the only form of justice served up in Alabama. One prediction I predict will fall flat on its face, that many states will follow the example of Alabama. The only one that will follow is the state of dismay.
Suffocating an individual is inhumane.
Killing an individual for killing another person is crazy!. You have no passion for life and you have no character to help the family who lost someone. Now two people have lost someone., an in-fact we all lost. An Eye for an eye justice is for cowards and is a weak point in the fabric of our community.
Let those crooked prosecutors
send innocent people to eternity.
Innocents Project and several other organizations, have proven thousands of people were convicted, only to be later found innocent, and released.
How about the families of loved ones unalived, only to find out they were innocent?
Poor Attorney Generals feelings over human life.
That was a horrible execution. If that was "textbook" it is a horror book of torment. The executed person did no chose it. Justice was not served. Revenge was served.
Outstanding…….
“Thou shall not kill”. No asterisks in my Bible. Sorry. Seems God can forgive the worst sinner but not the State of Alabama.
Oh, my God, this guy is such a liar. That man was tortured for about 20 minutes before he finally died. And now they want other states to use it?
Sorry pal, you're not NY or Cali, no one is following you.
ALABAMA AND THE RED STATES FOLLOWING THEIR LEAD PROVE THE GOP ENDORSES DRAKONIAN EXECUTION METHODS.
Alabama a prolife state in action. Barbaric
Barbaric
Not knowing this guy from a hole in the wall, I just knew the AG was a republican
Pro-life is supposed to be just that: Pro-life
What a primitive state! Alabama is What a warped idea of justice. Ugh.
If theres no question of guilt then why were they waiting decades anyway. Ive never understood that.
What did the guy do to warrant the death penalty?
Disgusting!
Don't gloat over your methods, Mr. AG !!
Alabama had to have something to be proud of. Typical it would be something like this.
Oh this is so weird and wrong…shame on alabama..there are lots of innocent men executed and bigger corporate crimes go unpunished..😮
You shouldn't kill.
" GOD ".
PERIOD.
