    All seven media witnesses to the execution agreed he appeared to be in discomfort.

    NO SHIT!! HE APPEARED TO BE IN DISCOMFORT?!

    I wonder why?

      This is such a strange thing to write. I don’t really understand this

      Why is it treated like it’s meant to be a day at work or something? Or a routine procedure? This is some very strange form of normalization
