        No need for these sick instruments if the Republicans win the election. When they take Tennessean's Social Security, Medicare/Medicaid and Obamacare/ACA there won't be many of us left anyway! I'm diabetic stockpiling my Insulin so I don't suffer too much if republicans win.

        You work at a pharmacy and feel that it’s okay to joke about anxiety (medication), as if millions of people don’t suffer from anxiety and take pills for it every day? Not a good look, Valerie.pic.twitter.com/2ROfXkBTP0

        Thats why you get labeled #FakeNews with headlines like this. Misleading. Creator of chair has not serviced it in years, and fears others may have added to his chair.

        The person set to be electrocuted requested to be put to death this way. Not by lethal injection.

        It’s not humane. No how. They kill horses with more mercy. If it is t quick with no pain then it’s not good. Is an eye for an eye still appropriate in this modern day. How about thou shalt not kill.

        Who would have deliver this punishment? If we pay someone to murder someone in a savage way is it not still a savage murder to you?

        Good question, but civilization needs a detriment to heinous crimes. Locking them up three meals a day, climate controlled living quarters, library, tv, seems not to work.

        My neighbors were murdered, a well to do couple. The husband had to watch his wife stabbed multiply times trying to make him tell them where money was. They only had $30 on them, they didn’t keep large sums at home. He was also brutally killed. What is justice there? Just sad
