Arkansas' Midazolam Madness

Between April 20 and 27, Arkansas committed state sanctioned murder on four men who had been languishing on death row for decades. But state officials were furious the Supremes blocked four more such senseless killings in the final three April days. Why? That's when the Razorback State's supply of Midazolam, one of three drugs used in the killings will run out; and lethal drug makers are loathe to supply any more to states for such barbaric and senseless killings. One manufacturer even sued Arkansas claiming they were duped into selling Arkansas one of the other drugs used. That suit didn't help Marcel Williams, Kedell Lee, Ken Williams and Jack Jones who rolled down Arkansas' killing assembly line with splendid efficiency. Newbie Supreme Neil Gorsuch cast his first Supremes vote after accepting his appointment of the seat stolen from Merrick Garland by the death penalty loving GOP, to deny Ledell Lee's final stay. A few minutes later Lee went poof!

The South loves killing sorrowful souls no longer a threat to society due to their lifetime incarceration. Since 1973 they've whacked 1,184 compared to just four in the north. Yet, in 2015, the murder rate in the South was 70% higher than the North and that doesn't include all those state sponsored murders. State executioners are oblivious to the 158 lucky condemned who were exonerated in the last forty years before the drip was dropped into their veins. One dude languished 39 years before a key prosecution witness sputtered, "Opps, I lied".

Capital punishment in America...a capital offence against humanity.
