The state of Missouri is set to execute Marcellus, even though literally NO ONE with a stake in the outcome of the case—not even the prosecutor nor the victim's family— wants him to die. Learn More Here
I was braced for disappointment, but this story lead me to look up stats on Americans' opinions on the death penalty, and it was worse than I thought.
The majority support the death penalty, even though the majority also believe that black people are disproportionately subjected to it, that it doesn't deter serious crimes, and that there is risk of killing an innocent person. Americans are just that fucking bloodthirsty apparently, they can agree with you on all of the reasons why the death penalty should be abolished, and still turn around and support it.
Americans would rather kill a dozen innocents than risk letting someone guilty live. It's lunacy. And as the empire collapses, have no doubt, Americans would absolutely rather watch the entire world burn in nuclear fire than let the wicked, undeserving people of the world control their own destinies.
Wow. I guess that's what you get when you have generation after generation committing evil, racist acts for hundreds of years.
I don't want to hear another anglo ever ask me why I'd rather watch this country burn than organize with a cracker again. The crimes of this guilty land will not be washed away but by settler blood.
May the people behind this experience the mercy that they've shown.
Need a graphic George Floyd replaced with Marcellus Williams. With the Missouri gov putting his knee on Williams neck looking smugly at the crowd watching him as his
lackeys inject poison with a speech bubble "I can't breathe" above Williams. Supreme Court looking the other way.@wombat@hexbear.net Please come say the thing. About the terror.
A white person recently told me that systemic racism against POC doesn't exist anymore and that the roles have reversed to white people being the truly oppressed race nowadays.At this point, I sincerely wish that were true...
First the came for the hwites, and I did not speak up because its about fucking time
Oh no I can't say the n-word anymore, truly I now know what slavery must have felt like.
"Okay, but have you considered that a POC called me a
, and nobody batted an eye when they did it? The fact that I can't get the same degree of chill when I unleash some gamer speak means that anti-white racism is bringing us down on a grand, major systemic level."
CNN — [Breaking news update, published at 7:18 p.m. ET]
Marcellus Williams, whose murder conviction was questioned by a prosecutor, died by lethal injection Tuesday evening in Missouri after the US Supreme Court denied a stay.
Cowardly country full of cutthroat murderers.
Genocidal, racist ass fucking pathetic excuse of a settler country.
RIP I hope somehow somewhere you are feeling the presence of justice denied to you in life.
After careful deliberation, the honorable ghouls of the Supremacist Court agreed that the State should hurry up and execute the innocent man already.
I wish I were religious so that I could earnestly believe that there is a special place in hell for all those involved in this travesty of justice. May this country rot.
The crimes of this guilty land will NEVER be washed away, not even with blood
The blood of the past and present will haunt us and our children for centuries to come.
There is nothing I want to say that wouldn't be illegal.
When our turn comes...
