John Oliver Perfectly Sums Up Alabama While Discussing The Death Penalty

On Final Week Tonight,  John Oliver did an up to date episode on the demise penalty within the US the place he completely summed up what’s flawed with red-state Republicans in Alabama.

Oliver mentioned:

And early this 12 months, Alabama carried out the very first nitrogen fuel execution, which was, by all accounts, completely horrific. One witness described the person who died as somebody struggling for his or her life. And one other who’d seen 5 executions mentioned it was undoubtedly essentially the most violent execution that I’ve ever witnessed.”

All of which makes it fairly galling that afterward the state’s AG took this victory lap whereas thanking his entire execution staff. ‘Everybody on this room is aware of they’re the primary staff within the nation to hold out nitrogen execution. And what occurred final night time was textbook. They deserve an excessive amount of thanks and credit score for being prepared to be the one to step up first within the nation to take action, and I now suspect that many states will observe. As of final night time, nitrogen epoxy as a way of execution is now not an untested technique. It’s a confirmed one.’

Yeah, he referred to as it a textbook execution, which I might name textbook bullshit. And by the best way, Alabama, do you ever get bored with being trailblazers in all the worst methods? Your state historical past is simply courageous Alabama residents protesting as your leaders are the final to do one thing good or the primary to do one thing horrible.

From Oliver and his staff placing collectively proof that implies that states and the Trump administration have been acquiring the medication utilized in executions from a manufacturing facility that’s illegally making them to discussing the barbaric ways in which the USA continues to insist on executing criminals, this episode was a worthy observe as much as the 2 that Final Week Tonight has beforehand finished on the subject.

It’s a disgrace that Warner Brothers/Discovery has adopted the idiotic coverage of not posting Final Week Tonight clips till Thursday as a result of John Oliver’s newest episode actually is a matter of life and demise.
