Please President Obama: Help give prisoners the same rights as the pets you love

Would you guys be happy if we just shot him in the back of the head?

If you oppose the death penelty, just say so. Straw man arguements come across as an attempt to be clever.

I don't necessarily disagree with your message, but your logic is a bit flawed. You can't test lethal injection drugs clinically, because you'd have to have a control group (how would you do that?), and the end point is death--very easy to achieve with a high enough dose of ANY barbiturate. Also, European drugs ARE regulated, just not by the US. If you can get your hands on the chemical, whatever the source, it works just fine for its intended purpose.
