    On August 22nd, 2017, hours before his scheduled execution, former Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens enacted a stay and ordered a board of inquiry to look into Williams’ case. Last June, the new Gov. Mike Parson lifted the stay and dissolved the board, claiming that another six-year delay would defer justice and leave the victim’s family in “limbo.”

    “If we don’t let the state murder this innocent black man, how can the family of someone else’s victim move on?”

    Jesus. Fuck Missouri. And Parsons in particular.

    That’s pretty fucked up. Hopefully the family will speak up and ask for the real killer to be found.

    I think it is evil-worship, to execute someone for a crime when even the prosecution says they didn’t do it.

    And I’m suggesting you consider it in that framing, just to test to see what the reframed-act implies, throughout the current system…

    I’m saying that knowing that human-sacrifice was core to Toltecs, Maya, & Aztecs, & a tribe in the Amazon is still doing it today…

    it seems to me that human-sacrifice for authority/power/glory would be the unconscious intent, at-least…
