Stop the Midazolam Massacre

Midazolam sounds like a drug name, possibly designed to induce sleep. Bingo. It's used to put undesirables to sleep forever; one of a three drug cocktail states commonly employed to practice legalized murder. Arkansas, like most states using lethal injection, are running out of the stuff as manufacturers say 'Nyet' to such disgusting use of their anesthetic Midazolam to kill folks instead of curing their ills.

Arkansas's stash runs out April 30 which caused them to schedule 8 state sponsored murders in the span of 10 days; 2 each on 4 days between April 17 and the 27th. Gov. Ira Hutchinson is aware of the grotesque spectacle saying: "I'd have loved to spread those executions over months or even years, but that's not the situation I'm facing...and the families of the victims that have endured this for so many years deserve conclusion." But such teeth gnashing hasn't prevented Hutchinson from halting the Midazolam Massacre which will shame Arkansas throughout the civilized world.

During this state sponsored murderfest authorities should play the 1928 No. 1 pop tune 'Sweathearts On Parade' with the following altered verse:

"Two by two, they go marching through...the condemned men on parade."
