About this listen
Dying is ugly. Killing someone is even uglier. Nitrogen asphyxiation is being sold to us as the new, easy and painless way to put people to death. But are we finding that it isn't easy for the condemned, or not easy for us? Out of the woodwork come the critics, all tacitly concealing their over-arching anti-capital punishment agenda. The dilemma? We have no intellectually honest conversation about how humane nitrogen is when no one who is pro-capital punishment has been invited to the discussion table. Without context and comparison to other methods, we can also arrive at no real conclusion about whether or not the method itself is humane, only a new modality for criticizing the practice in general. Exposing all this silly bullshit is Jon and Jake, to the benefit of the very few as always.
