UN tries to stop Alabama from "inhumane" nitrogen gas execution: calls for beheading instead

The United Nations Human Rights Council is doing all it can to interfere with Alabama and their plan of executing Kenneth E. Smith using nitrogen gas. Rather than allowing the murder-for-hire Smith to gently fall asleep from lack of oxygen and then drift off into the bowels of hell, they would rather see him live out the rest of his miserable life in the slammer. But if he must be put to death, most at the UN would prefer a traditional beheading.

Smith was convicted of killing Elizabeth Sennett in Jefferson County, Alabama in 1988 and was convicted 11-1 by a jury, who recommended life without parole. However, the sentencing judge overruled them and decided the POS be put to death. It has taken all this time for the execution to be carried out and is scheduled for January 25th.

The UN argues that there is no evidence to show that using nitrogen gas will not result in a "painful and humiliating death." Others argue that even if that were true--and nobody has ever come back to say which method of killing them was anything other than painful and humiliating--murderers deserve painful and humiliating deaths.

While U.N. "experts" have nothing to prove nitrogen hypoxia would cause suffering, they argue that nitrogen gas executions may violate the U.N. Convention against Torture along with other U.N. agreements that the U.S. is a party. So for Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey, just to name a few, the only way to execute someone who deserves it, is to behead them or otherwise butcher them, as the Saudis advocate.

Alabama first attempted to execute Smith on November 17, 2022 via lethal injection. However, administrators in the room failed to find a suitable vein for the fatal drug despite four hours of trying.

Imagine their frustration.
