Here’s a Minute-by-Minute Breakdown of Tennessee’s Failed Execution

Tennessee’s failed execution of convicted murderer Christa Pike was the talk of the news world on Thursday. New details, which have prompted calls for the United States to halt the death penalty, emerged last night.

Media witnesses described hearing Pike continue to breathe, snore, and speak after receiving her first not-so-lethal injection, saying she told officials that her arm hurt and asked if it was supposed to feel that way in the moments after she was supposed to die. Her all-female execution team then gave her a second injection, which also did not work. An ambulance arrived to bring Pike, who was very much still alive, to the hospital nearly two hours after her scheduled death.

Governor Bill Lee has ordered a review of the botched execution and postponed another capital punishment scheduled for later this year, calling what happened in the death chamber “deeply disturbing.” Pike is in critical condition.

Well any long-time readers of this blog should know that I am a gun-owning pro-life pro-choice little L libertarian.  So here is YET ANOTHER reason to oppose the death penalty.

I’m really tired of enumerating my reasons: 

  1. It’s immoral.  Life is sacred.
  2. It’s inefficient.  It really does NOT discourage killings.
  3. It’s costly.  Estimates range the cost of a capital trial in the millions.
  4. It’s wasteful.  There are many uses for the condemned in real life.
  5. It’s desensitizing.  It tells “We, The Sheeple” that Gooferment is allowed to do it.
  6. It’s inhumane.  Botched executions and even those that aren’t cause needless pain.
  7. It’s error prone.  How many stories do we hear about “mistakes”?  What about the ones we don’t hear about? Pencils have erasers; death penalties are final.
  8. It’s political.  Prosecutors prosecute capital case for the publicity and advancement.
  9. It’s rarely final.  Ever hear of “last minute stays”.  Or sentences being reversed.

I’m sure that there are a lot more but I con’t think of them.

This makes me ashamed that I can’t stop it.

California bans child marriage, a practice still legal in 32 US states

Child Marriage Just Became Illegal in California

Believe it or not, child marriage is still legal in 32 American states. As of yesterday, California is not one of them.

Gavin Newsom approved legislation making California the 18th state to ban residents from marrying children on Wednesday, signing the bill alongside a woman whose parents allowed her to marry a 50-year-old when she was just 16. Approximately 9,000 girls have married adult men in California each year, according to the advocacy group Unchained At Last. The ban will take effect in January.

It is pretty remarkable that the federal government has never passed a similar law. How can Washington politicians lecture the rest of the world about freedom and democracy, while at the same time turning a blind eye to child marriage in their own country?

Sorry, I’d expect this in some backward thirds world country but not it the USA.  I guess that “rich pedophiliac tech elites” that I hear cited on at least two podcast I regularly listen to are absolutely correct to call this out.

HEALTHCARE: The National Library of Medicine describes “never events” as “the most egregious of patient safety incidents”; here’s one

Ohio Woman Sues Doctor for Amputating the Wrong Leg

An Ohio woman is suing her surgeon for allegedly cutting off the wrong leg. She says she went into surgery expecting to lose her right leg, but woke up without her left. As a result, she is now a double amputee.

The victim required an amputation after doctors found cancer in her right leg, but the team at Selby General Hospital mistakenly removed her healthy left leg instead, according to the 32-page complaint filed by the woman’s attorney. The suit argues that the surgeon’s actions amounted to a failure to follow basic patient-safety protocols and constituted what healthcare standards classify as a “never event.” The National Library of Medicine describes “never events” as “the most egregious of patient safety incidents.”

We do not know how much money the plaintiff is seeking, but it is probably an enormous amount. The poor woman is literally legless. We hope you will send her your prayers.

Might be nice to know what those “never events” are?

Argh!

Way back when I was in the USAF, they were always finding “make work” jobs to keep young airmen (I guess it’s now Air “persons”) busy while they were waiting out a delay (i.e., orders not arrived yet; medical “light duty”, waiting for the next class date for training).  

Anyway, “we” —  linguists with security clearances and survival school training —  were often sent to the chaplain or the hospital as “workers”.

Don’t laugh chaplains were notorious for not keeping up with bureaucrat “requirements” (i.e, attendance at services numbers; inventorying prayer books, and when were the last inspections done and for what).  (Seriously, what does a chaplain “inspect”?  That everyone has the required sets of underwear? Argh!).

I guess I could define “me delving a baby” as a ‘’never event”?

Sigh!

Getting back to the point, because we had survival school we were considered “qualified for non-technical medical duties”, which surprisingly didn’t include janitorial duties (union), bedpan duty (LPN required, thankfully), or anything with confidential medical information.  (You wonder why taxes are too high?)  

So we’d often get to count supplies in the hospital. That had already been counted by the pharmacist and the Head Nurse. 

Always, joked I was ready to deliver a baby if no one else was available.  Almost got the chance on a New York bound commuter train stuck due to a bridge opening, the woman didn’t cooperate and was still very pregnant she the rescue squad boarded.

Shucks.  I had the commandeered newspapers all laid out like they taught.  Although I still wonder where we would get newspapers on a combat aircraft?  (Do they even print newspapers today? Guess we could layout phones and newspapers on the floor all displaying a newspaper!) And, since I was on the local rescue squad, I always carried gloves in my back pocket. Laugh!  All to no avail.  

P.S., I’d also tell pregnant Moms-to-be that if they named their baby Ferdinand, I’d put them in my will.  Never any takers.
