Murderer Christa Pike is reportedly intubated and on a ventilator after a botched execution by a girl-boss team in Tennessee earlier this week. Before you judge her too harshly, keep in mind that she told the Department of Corrections to donate the $20 for her last meal to buy pizza for the homeless. Gavin Newsom has spent $24 billion on the homeless in California with zero results — he should have taken tips from Pike on how to solve the homeless crisis.
BREAKING: Christa Pike's attorneys says she is 'critically ill, unconscious, intubated and on a ventilator' after failed execution.

Why don’t they pull the ventilator?

TMZ, which brought us the story on the pizza, also posted that Pike felt extreme pain during her botched execution, or at least that's what experts say. Most reports said she was out snoring after the second lethal dose.

Now that the death row inmate is being given life-sustaining support, NBC News is reporting that the execution chamber didn't even have medical oxygen or a mask.
There was no medical oxygen or mask in the execution chamber where Tennessee tried and failed to kill convicted murderer Christa Pike, which meant staff had to go and get it when things went wrong, according to a source who witnessed what happened. https://t.co/twzZa7MUUb

Why would you need life saving measures for someone sentenced to die?

DNR should be standard practice.
This has to be a joke. Right?

That would probably be because the entire point of executing someone is that they die. They only started saving her life because she wasn't dying fast enough. And that just seems really counterproductive!

It’s called the death chamber for a reason.
— Lady Liberty (@WeDidItOnce) October 2, 2026
There should be no life saving attempts in administration of the death. The only intervention should be focused on completing the task at hand which is fulfilling the death sentence.
Duh. Unless a member of staff haf a medical episode, you don't need oxygen to execute someone.

Regardless of how bad your HMO is, an execution chamber does not double as an ER when not in use.

Why would you put life-saving equipment in an execution room?

I'm blocking this account.
Oh no, they weren’t ready to administer life-saving treatment to the person they were trying to execute?

Seriously, did you short your own company’s stock before tweeting this?
It’s a death chamber not the ICU.

We are a failing civilization of soft, weak pussies….should have chopped her head off at age 18 and then kicked it around town square like a soccer ball

The only thing extra they should have equipped in that room was a single chambered 9mm in case the drugs didn't take. The point was to kill her, not save her.

All execution chambers should be mandated by state law to have one installed in each facility... pic.twitter.com/OHVB7i9org

*CHECKS NOTES*
…execution chamber!?
I don't know about your death penalty room, but mine doesn't have life saving equipment.

Do you not understand what the purpose of an execution chamber is?
— FedUpNYer (@MAGA_evenNY) October 2, 2026
NBC News reports that, according to a source, authorities had to go find oxygen and a mask.
