Didn't read this article because I've already read about the event but quite a few people who sounded like they knew what they were talking about pointed out that this guy's death was in fact probably painless, despite his movements. This may or may not be true, I don't know.

Doesn't change the fact that we shouldn't have a death penalty.

I've always found it odd that political conservatives are more likely to support the death penalty, when a large part of their politics is associated with distrust of goverment. Giving the State the power to execute seems the ultimate act of trust.
