Knowing the details on how lethal drugs are administered, how they fail and what the inmate goes through when that happens is not news I need to read while I am trying to enjoy my first meal of the day. It is bad enough that the editors feel that we want to know the juicy details of these killings. What is next, an internet link so we can all see an ISIS beheading? I like The Daily Sun but these articles offend me as a human being who does not believe in killings of humans for any reasons. In my mind it is nothing more than another form of violence. If they feel they absolutely have to bombard us with this "news" it would be nice if they relegated it to a blip of an article, placed somewhere far away from the front page.
