Life is precious for everyone. A shame one had to die for another one's habit. A shame one has to die this way. A shame one has to die waiting for organ transplantor other tragic event. A shame one has to die at all by the hand of another.

what you sow you will reap..he is reaping what he sowed...i only pray that he has asked god for forgiveness because his after death punishment in the lake of fire is far worst than anything he will have on this earth

Maybe he should have thought this humane thing through before he took a lamp and beat someone to death. If he doesn't think lethal injection is humane maybe we should just take a lamp to him!
