Christa Pike, who survived Tennessee’s attempt to execute her by lethal injection a month ago, is speaking out for the first time, saying she is recovering, “but healing is not the same as being okay.”
“There hasn’t been a moment since that night when I haven’t been in pain. My body hurts. My arms hurt. My hands hurt. My throat hurts. I still struggle to speak,” Pike said in a written statement her attorneys say was dictated to them. “And the pain isn’t just physical. There is pain in my mind and in my soul.”
Pike, 50, was hospitalized after she survived two doses of pentobarbital as the state attempted to execute her on September 30 for the 1995 beating and stabbing death of classmate Colleen Slemmer. Soon after the failed procedure, Pike was on a ventilator, and her attorneys did not expect her to survive. But she woke up and later began talking and walking with assistance.
And you sir, fail to understand that a thing can be two things.
But considering how kids nowadays are so polarized in their every thought, that is probably not an uncommon opinion.
Cute, how your ad-hominem against my age would probably shoot your own foot, as I’m most likely older than your daddy :-)
And yeah, things can be two things, but not here. I can’t hate her and wish her a painful death (if my personal morals allow this), but also be an apologetic against capital punishment because I’m oh-so-civilized. I mean I can, but noone would really take me serious :)
Then act like it.
Okay, I hereby retreat from this “discussion” like any adult would do :)
