The premise is that most pharmaceuticals come from Europe. Since they don't support the animalistic behavior of Texas, they won't sell the state any drug that can be used for execution.
Note: major flaw in the premise is the idea America is incapable of producing the drugs. The country can make any drug it likes and has never had any success banning any drug, even heroin, so how is it believable that America cannot produce these chemicals.
Texas officials said they got pentobarbitol for executions in Texas from 'a local pharmacy' but we're not clear on how or why a local pharmacy would be carrying drugs which would only have application in hospitals. These drugs are hardly the prescription to take home for li'l Buffy's runny nose. (RT: Texas gets supply of lethal injection drug for death row)
The question of the moral basis for the death penalty ... or the complete fucking absence of it ... is one thing but the question of process is what I address here as this is an example of one size for America and one size for the rest of the world. For example, ISIS sets a Jordanian pilot afire and there's massive outrage at the brutality and viciousness of these people. However, when Oklahoma takes forty minutes to kill a man, we get nothing but excuses ... and they couldn't wait to do it again ... then Arizona did the same thing ... and Texas kills people regardless of whether they're even guilty. (You can do that when there's Rick Perry to sidetrack and obfuscate the investigation)
Pro tip: if you'll take that bullshit before Saint Peter, you better take a lawyer with you ... and it still won't work.
You of the noble crew of regular readers do not support killing people so we really don't understand why others have such a thirst for it ... but we're thankful we didn't catch whatever they've got. Capital punishment is slowly dying out but those who proclaim it cling to it like rosary beads as if continuing the practice gives some greater claim to moral goodness. For their convenience and spiritual communion we have the Flat Earth Society.
