Arkansas Carries Out Another ‘Inhumane’ Botched Execution

Arkansas Carries Out Another ‘Inhumane’ Botched Execution

Posted by | Apr 28, 2017 | , |

On Thursday, Arkansas completed its fourth execution of the month, yet another urgent slaughter which is directly related to the state’s soon-to-be expired supply of drugs used in lethal injections. Like at least one other execution the state has recently carried out, many are now questioning whether the methods the state used to execute its fourth death row inmate were humane at all. The execution of inmate Kenneth Williams did not go as planned. According to several witnesses present at the time of his death, Williams reportedly convulsed for several minutes after the drugs were delivered into his body, a sign...

Economy Sees 0.7% Growth In First Quarter – Slowest Growth In 3 Years

The economic numbers from the first U.S. quarter are in, and President Trump isn’t going to be happy to hear them. In the first quarter of 2017, the economy saw growth of just 0.7%, the smallest rate of growth in 3 years. The Trump administration is very interested in the numbers of its successes and failures, so this failure to grow the economy during the first quarter mostly under Trump’s leadership will likely be a major concern to the President – a concern that he will either ignore, call “fake,” or attempt to blame on his predecessor.

On Thursday, United Airlines reached a settlement with the passenger that its business decision seriously harmed. The amount of the settlement is undisclosed.
