    That's what I already understand after looking at the meme. What is the actual backstory, news source or something?

    Failed lethal injections.

    Her body is still very broken. It's barbaric.

    Also extremely incompetent. They were warned she was tricky to put an IV in, tried anyway and fucked it up so the drug went in the muscle instead. Then they just kind of stopped trying and put another shot in the muscle as well. So they fucked up her arms real good, but the poison never went where it was supposed to go.

    I'm guessing the people applying to these jobs probably aren't the cream of the crop. But why would they be?

    Christa Pike was sentenced to death. The sentence itself was already fairly controversial, due to some of the details of her case. And now the state has attempted to kill her twice, but they keep fucking up her lethal injection. She has been injured during both attempts, but not killed. She even requested a firing line instead of a lethal injection, because she has a heart condition that will likely prevent the lethal injection from properly stopping her heart. But the state has refused to back down, and keeps injuring her with bad lethal injections instead.
