It’s no secret that Texas believes deeply in its right to kill, having done so more than any other state and already 7 times this year. It’s also no secret Texas thinks this actually works; as in, killing people gets you what you want, teaches people how wrong they are, and is a clear form of communication.
Which is exactly what most killers think: killing works. Elliot Rodger in southern California, Army Specialist Ivan Lopez at Fort Hood, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev in Boston, Adam Lanza in Newtown and the state of Texas all operate out of the same twisted and false narrative: that killing works: it gets you want you want, teaches people they are wrong, and is a clear form of communication.
What is a secret though, is where the drugs for our executions are made. Attorney General Greg Abbott has recently decided that Texas can keep our drug source secret, despite worries from those on death row, a botched execution in Oklahoma (that used different drugs), and the fact that the compounding pharmacy which makes the drug is not regulated. Without regulation, its impossible to know the purity of the drug. (Read more here).
