The state of South Carolina is set to execute its first convict in more than 13 years after pharmaceutical companies resumed supplying it with lethal injection drugs.
Companies refused to sell the drugs to the state for several years due to concerns that sales would have to be disclosed to the public, but state legislators changed the law in May to keep the names of the drug providers anonymous, according to the Associated Press (AP).
In July, South Carolina’s Supreme Court decided to permit the resumption of executions, which also includes the electric chair and firing squad as options, CNN reported.
The state’s first execution since 2011 will be of 46-year-old Freddie Eugene Owens, who is scheduled to be put to death on September 20 for the 1997 murder of Irene Graves, a single mother of three who was working the overnight shift at a Greenville County gas station when Owens robbed it, the South Carolina Daily Gazette reported.
13 years of wasted food and oxygen
Euthanasia is a procedure that veterinarians often use to put pets to sleep when they are in pain or suffering due to illness, injury, or old age. The procedure typically involves injecting a lethal drug into the animal, causing it to lose consciousness and die without pain or distress:
I’m pretty sure that woman didn’t die without pain. How long did she live after being shot in the head.
Why are they concerned that he die a painless death.
Make him suffer from a lethal does of fentanyl. A couple of quick dissolving tablets under the tongue. A shot or two into the arm. Mix it with a spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down.
There you have it, murderer gone… No pharmaceutical company needed.
It is ironic that Big Pharma was afraid that the public would learn that they were supplying the drugs necessary to execute the worst of society, but they had no problem constantly airing both television and radio ads pushing their deadly vaccines that killed and destroyed the health of thousands of people.
