Are there no ropes in Tennessee?
When an execution fails, we should take it as a sign that this person shouldn't be executed.

A good friend will bail you out of jail, but your best friend will be sitting next to you in the cell saying "that was f***ing awesome"

No it's just God telling us that they haven't experienced enough pain yet and to try harder.

We should take it as a sign to drop them from a plane without a chute.

The idea that they are spending even more money on this woman via hospitalization is appalling.

She'll have a $1M in a Gofundme by the end of the week.

what's wrong with a guillotine? Other than making the embalmer's job harder
Death would be instant and guaranteed.
It was an all-female execution team so I already answered my original question.
@dbmhoosier trying to hit the laughing emoji instead of the like emoji on our phones is taking years off of our lives

Technically, a guillotine (at least the traditional ones used in the middle-ages) is not an always guaranteed death. It wasn't exactly uncommon for the blade to have to be lifted again and dropped in order to completely sever the head, especially if you had people with bigger / stronger neck bones, or if crappy construction allowed extra friction on the blade as it dropped, slowing it down a little (and it wasn't uncommon back then for blood splatter to end up gumming up the guides).
So there were times that the blade had to be redropped a couple of times to ensure a complete beheading, and unfortunately that process was a wee bit......extra....on the pain / suffering of the executed. While a good chunk of our blood-thirsty human nature would instantly jump in with a "Good! They deserve it!" response, part of the reason we went with lethal injections versus other methods (firing squad, hanging, etc.) is that it is the more humane way to end a life.
Not to say that we couldn't make a higher quality guillotine that could avoid the Medieval version problems, but I think the biases of potential failure are already baked in.
(yeah, yeah, I know, Squeaky knows a little too much about Medieval torture methods. I read, OK!)

I'm guessing those just used gravity so we can for sure make a better version with more power and a better blade.
For the really bad people, we could do a tar and feather first and then the guillotine.
Why they didn’t use it on Charlie Kirk.It wasn't exactly uncommon for the blade to have to be lifted again and dropped in order to completely sever the head, especially if you had people with bigger / stronger neck bones,
