Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine postponed three scheduled executions amid the struggle to find lethal drug suppliers, the office announced on Friday.

In a statement, DeWine said he delayed the executions,"due to ongoing problems involving the willingness of pharmaceutical suppliers to provide drugs to the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction."

Nationwide, other states have delayed executions or implemented moratoriums over the inability to secure drugs or implement another execution method. More than 60 global healthcare companies have taken action to prevent their drugs from being used in lethal injection executions, said U.K.-based nonprofit Lethal Injection Information Center in

Bullets are cheaper

These pro-life republicans sure like to kill people

O... if he was a god fearing Christian he would not do it becuase gods law thall shall not kill ! No eye for an eye ! God said thall shall not cast judgment ! he gave laws to live by the punishment for sin is his dinner not mans

Why not call Dr. Gallo. Ask about putting them under twilight and then cut the heart out. It’s humane.

Check your local vet

Just let them drink the water from the train spill.

Just give the fentenyal or mrna death jabs. Problem solved.

These killers don't have what to kill with? 🤣 good!

...if the pharmaceutical industry doesn't want to provide drugs for executions then the state should be free to return to original methods like hanging

How about we just not kill people?

why not just bleed them out? no drugs, no doctor needed to declare them dead, and it's over in about two minutes after they fall asleep. painless and cheap.

Fentanyl is fast, effective, and inexpensive; not to mention readily available in Columbus, Ohio. Ohio ranked 8th in fentanyl deaths in the US in 2021 with 35.8 per 100K of people so using it for executions could boost your rankings Ohio. That's a win /win for Ohio.

Capital punishment is immoral. Period.

Go down the corner and grab some fetnayl, that will work

Still being posted as 'news?' 😨

...(whatever happened to firing squads, execution by electrocution, or by public hanging for those awarded the Death Penalty), the sensibilities of criminals should be given precisely as much consideration, as the aforementioned criminals choose to gift to their innocent victims?

They have lots of bullets & rope. Seek old school, alternative methods.

Meanwhile in the clean world

They don't own an AR -15? those things grow on trees.

I'm willing to show 10 lucky people how to earn 0.74BTC($15,000)daily. No withdrawal fee You don't get to send funds to anyone Interested? DM.

Forget the damn drugs. You can buy bullets at any wal•mart

We are Saudi Arabia.

Would it not be amazing if gun manufacturers adopted a small piece of the ethics shown by drug manufacturers and decided to no longer make assault rifles, high capacity magazines, bump stocks etc for public consumption.

Fentanyl is so deadly just touching it can kill you but they can't find a drug to kill someone?

How much is a bullet these days?

Tap to the back of the head with a large caliber bullet usually does the trick. You’d probably get volunteers that provide their own equipment.

If Ohio became an assisted suicide state I bet they would have a hard time finding the drugs.

So “pro life” they’ll kill ya.

It’s almost like they have the same thirst to murder people that people that murder do.

Boo hoo. The pro-life governor can't kill anybody

A reminder - An American academy of science study found 4% of death row inmates have been found to be innocent of the charges that put them up for execution Having an inmate on death row cost about 50% more than having them in a maximum security facility for life

Throw the prisoners off a bridge

How are the drugs they try to prevent similar to lethal injections?

There are other means to carry out the death penalty. Try using them.

GOOD

Phentenol is the best one out there. 🖕🤡

Red States not allowed Pharm to send abortion medicine to woman in need bc they are “Pro Life” so logic dictates that big Pharma shouldn’t be sending medicine to execute people. Pharma following the ideology of “Pro Life”

Feed them chipotle..

Fentanyl seems to do the trick on the innocent population. Heard it was easy to find around the Mexico 🇲🇽 border. Maybe 🤔 try that?

How about the old fashion ways?

I thought Republicans were pro life?

Considering most folk now don't trust the police not to frame folks or make shit up, especially against POC, it's not surprising that they don't want to contribute to executions.

Behold! Pro life republicans!

Personally I live in Ohio and would like us to expand methods of capital punishment. People need to be afraid of committing capital crimes. The loss of this penalties is linked to the growing violence in the country.

The 'pro-life' party struggles to find the right drugs to kill people. That fits the brand. 😑 BanTheDeathPenalty

Just send them to E Palestine

Why does the government want to kill people? They should NOT possess this type of power.
