is this what we are leaving to our children?

i wanted to think "not in my state" when i heard about this on fox news tonight. today a judge said the lethal injection violated the inmates eight amendment protections. i copied and pasted this so don't think i am changing my protocol. i would not go to the trouble. i read this on a tv station website and included are the comments i posted there. am i alone in this?

"U.S. District Judge Aleta Trauger said the protocol "presents a substantial risk of unnecessary pain." She said it violates death row inmate Edward Jerome Harbison's Eighth Amendment protections against cruel and unusual punishment."

this is the dumbest thing i have ever heard. to think we should be sensitive to him suffering before he dies? i don't care if he cries like a school girl. i hope his pain is excruciating, long and graphic. and then the judge added;

"the new protocol does not ensure that inmates are properly anesthetized before the lethal injection is administered". i wondered if the judge saw crime scene photos of his victim. did the killer check to see if she was "properly anesthetized" before he beat her to death?

"Harbison was scheduled to be executed early next Wednesday for beating an elderly woman to death during a burglary in 1983."

beating death? do people really know how hard it is to beat someone to death? the pain and suffering they feel?

if we allow idiots like this continue to stay on the bench then we can no longer question decisions like this that are made. when will we rise up as a civilized society and say no more? the more i read stuff like this, the more i believe in bernard goetz and vigilante justice. i say we turn this murderer loose. when vigilante's get finished with him the lethal injection might not look so "cruel and unusual".

god help us all.

there may not be a next time...
