Bleeding-heart liberals are in a hand-wringing snit over news that a convicted murderer “suffered greatly” during his execution.

As reported at reference 1, in part:


A death-row prisoner who was executed using a new lethal injection drug 'suffered greatly' during the process, a leading U.S. anaesthesiologist has testified.

Roy Willard Blankenship, who was executed on June 23 using pentobarbital - also known as nembutal - was said to be conscious for approximately the first three minutes of the execution and 'suffered greatly'.

Dr David Waisel, an Associate Professor of Anaesthesia at Harvard Medical School, also said in the sworn affidavit that 'his eyes were open throughout', according to witness accounts.

He said: 'I can say with certainty that Mr Blankenship was inadequately anaesthetised and was conscious for approximately the first three minutes of the execution.
'Mr Blankenship should not have been conscious or exhibiting these movements, nor should his eyes have been open, after the injection of pentobarbital.'

 
Suffered greatly, did he? Hooray for Georgia!

The story did not mention that Blankenship was convicted for murdering a 78-ear-old woman, as described in reference 2:

ATLANTA - Blankenship was convicted of the 1978 murder of Sarah Mims Bowen, who died of heart failure during the attack. Her bloody, nude body was discovered by friends and neighbors after the attack, and police were able to trace footsteps to the area where Blankenship lived across the street. They also matched blood scrapings and seminal fluid to Bowen.

When police confronted Blankenship two weeks after the killing, he told them that he broke into her apartment, threw her onto a bed and "got my pleasure or whatever you want to call it." He added that he didn't remember some details, saying, "I don't know why I did it. I was drunk. I know I had to be drunk."

 

Clearl, Sarah Mims Bowen surely suffered greatly and for more than three minutes!

The fact that Blankenship “suffered greatly” is good news and should be widely advertised so as to discourage other would be killers.

Why do liberals lament the fate of a brutal killer while ignoring the abused victim?

  • Steve: Just visited your web site and viewed your masterful speech.  Awesome!

     

    I am not a MinuteMan--where do I sign up?

  • The sad part is the murder occured in 1978 and it took 33 years for justice.  33 years the tax payer supported this scum.  The tax payer suffered for 33 years.
  • On second thought, go to my personal website and view the video.  You'll see what I mean.

  • WOW! That is great news! Remember:  "eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth" is coming back! How did that SOB kill his victims?  Burn them, roast them, stab, shoot? Pay-back's a bitch, then you die!

    OBTW: I am a right-wing extremist! How about, "kill them all and ask questions later" some will  dispense with the question part.

    Have A Nice Day  :-)
