The execution of a prisoner in the US state of Ohio has been delayed for a week after jail officials had problems finding the condemned man's veins.

Ohio has executed 32 inmates since then. Several executions were delayed for at least an hour because officials had failed to properly attach IV (intravenous) tubes for the lethal injection.

They can't do anything as simple as killing someone quickly? How about a firing squad or hanging? They seem to work okay.

Isn't finding a vein in a guy on deathrow pretty simple? Cut somewhere, I am sure you will find one. Bleed out!

Go for an artery instead.

Right between the eyes if the vein fails

Seems kind of like the whole purpose of the thing got lost along the way because of the bureaucracy.

Why should we worry about being humane to someone on death row? I hate that prisoners are given more rights than their victims. I say if your going to execute someone then it should be the same method they used to kill. Hows that for a deterrent?
