Lethal injection

Do you guys think this should be legal? I don't. Here's why.

Social aspect.
I understand the pain that these families that have a loved one that got murdered are feeling. They see the pain the are going through and most of them say I would never want anyone in the world to have to deal with losing a child/mother/father ect ect. These families insist on the murderer be killed. What happened to people forgiving others? Seems like today all there is, is lies and hate. If these families are feelign this pain and don't wish it on other, then why are they allowing this to go on? I know they have much power but still there are appeals and the whole 9 yards that can be done.

Legal aspect.
What I think is very ironic is that these people are convicted killers and locked up for killing someone just to sit on death row for 18 years. I think sitting on death row for 18 years is enough punishment for anyone to be straightened up. Along the lines of how they go about this execution, They tie you up to a chair/table and insert drugs into your body. This cannot be painless. They just passed a law that they have to make sure the inmate is unconcious first before inserting the other drugs. I think they should in turn try to rehabilitate these inmates instead of killing them. No I am not saying what they did was right. And I am not sayign what they did should go without punishment. I'm sayign that no one deserves to die. Even someone that has taken someone else's life.

The Story.
The reason I decided to write this thread is because yesterday i was reading the newspaper and there was this inmate who killed a woman 18 years ago. He was convicted of first degree murder and was sentenced to death. 18 years ago. He has been sittign on death row the whole 18 years and has seen no light of day. He was not allowed to visit with his family. Here is how the murder played out. The man was at a local tavern drinking and snorting coke with a woman. They stepped outside for a smoke and the woman realized she did not have any left. She asked the man to take her up to the store to buy a pack of smokes. He did but when she came out of the store he locked her in the trunk of the car. They continued across Elyria,ohio to a middle school parking lot. He then let her out of the trunk allowed her to smoke 1 last cig. She finished it then he ordered her back into the trunk of the car. He punctured the gas tank of the car and lit it ablaze. The news paper I read interviewed him and he stated "I lit it on fire and did'nt even look back."

Not even close. If anything the United States prison system will mess you up even worse.
