I don't know that I buy that he's innocent, but it's pretty clear that this woman is a grade A evil bitch.

I can't say with 100% absolute certainty that he's guilty or innocent, very few people know the answer to that question, what I do know is that there's nowhere near enough evidence to go ahead with an execution. The eyewitnesses have recanted, and there's no physical evidence against him, they can't bring him back to life now that they've killed him. This should be enough reason to wait for certainty. Unfortunately, the state didn't seem to mind murdering a man whose guilt was uncertain.

I think the issue is less about him being definitely innocent and more about the courts just refusing to acknowledge reasonable doubt.

When seven of your nine witnesses retract what they said, with five of those seven saying they were being intimidated/forced into saying it, and with no physical evidence... that's just shoddy proof of guilt.

"Fewer than 40% of Georgia homicide cases involve white victims, but in 87% of the cases in which a death sentence is imposed the victim is white. White-victim cases are roughly eleven times more likely than black-victim cases to result in a sentence of death."

I thought the government was supposed to stamp out racism, not murder in its name. EMPOWER THE STATE!

[trog.livejournal.com]

If only we empowered the government a little bit more. Just a little more tax revenue and a few more intrusions on our rights, and I think we could achieve justice.

[mylaptopisevil.livejournal.com]

I'd rather just have the justice system managed in a more fair and just manner.

It's funny because he was executed by lethal injection. It's entirely possible he was injected with boiling grease, though, so she may be on to something.

Also, hi melvin_udall, you coward. I know you're reading this.

Saying Ann Coulter is a vile, ignorant asshole is like saying the sky is blue. Sadly, the media still treats her like she's got something legitimate to say and, of course, conservatives love her because she says the things they're afraid to say.

[atheistkathleen.livejournal.com]

she has 100 followers :/ smh

This is exactly the sort of thing that changed my mind from "both parties are bad" to Well, one party is kind of bad, but the other party is evil. Like, they should have a volcano lair and a shark tank evil. So evil that they'd kill a man they thought might deserve it, without caring if there's any doubt to that, and then gloat afterwards with a childish rhyme.

[soliloquy76.livejournal.com]

This from the crowd that thinks the state is incompetent and shouldn't be trusted.

According to the linked post, they think this is not about innocence or guilt. Apparently it's because liberals love bad guys.

No, fuck that, don't throw in the towel. There are pockets of real civilization where you can escape the insanity of the onrushing collapse of Western Civilization. I live in one such place.

Then I want to move into your basement.

True dat.

She's still the world's most successful troll

[trog.livejournal.com]

Got to give that cunt credit, she is second only to the Westboro trolls in not breaking character, and she's easily the most successful one.

And lest anyone try to claim she's not trolling, here's a woman who allegedly hates the government and doesn't trust it at all because it's inefficient and distorts incentive structures and has systemic flaws and all that shit, right? Yet, these same people she doesn't trust to oversee food safety and educate kids, she trusts without any doubts at all to conduct murderous foreign policy and to execute domestics? No. Sorry. Does not follow.

I've got nothing against trolling, as most of you know, and it's fun when it's not harmful, but her trolling isn't about frustrating people or teasing them -- her trolling is about emotionally abusing people, and that's evil. Her death can't come quickly enough.

She's like Rush Limbaugh, with a penis.

HA!!!

In the city in which I was born, back in the 20's, they burned a man on the courthouse steps. You could see the scorch marks for decades.

Those were the days.

But just imagine how many murders there'd be in those states if they didn't have that deterrent!

[pacotelic.livejournal.com]

For that, we need a time series.

[trog.livejournal.com]

Proponents would simply say, "See why we need it? We have more murders." Then they'd probably point to race/demographics and the conservatives would all jizz in their pants.

[pacotelic.livejournal.com]

Of course its per capita. Per 100,000 residents is standard in crime reporting. Its pretty hard to get raw number crime stats.

[pacotelic.livejournal.com]

The first suspect in cop-killing cases is always the right suspect.

[yelena-r0ssini.livejournal.com]

That right there is why I was drinking last night - I just can't take malevolence of that magnitude sometimes. It sickens me to know there are people like her out there, and being LISTENED TO as though they had something worthwhile to say at that.
