Sarat reports that over those 120 years, 8,776 people were executed and 276 of those executions (3.15%) went wrong in some way. Lethal injection had the highest rate of botched executions.
Unnecessary suffering is sadistic and hardens the heart. I don’t have strong feelings about the death penalty, but do feel strongly about incompetence. Get it right.
A 3% failure rate for something done deliberately and with few unknowns, is incompetence.
The ‘American Dream’ Now Costs More Than $5.3 Million
An election is coming up in a month, so these ‘scientific’ articles are produced. Pseudo-intellectuals will reference this article on social media. Only a sad retard would question any part of it.

At our morning fellowship, Sparky wanted to see if he could sit up like a prairie dog longer than I could suck in my belly. Neither of us did very well.
Elon Musk’s net worth is about the same as the GDP of Switzerland. Musk could buy a 55″ big screen TV for every American, and he’d still be the richest person in the world. He’s making boob jokes.
We are living in the future, but it’s not the future anyone expected.
