    After the one in Arkansas, the pattern I’m seeing throughout history? This is a lynching. A slow process of gathering the right mob to make it a technically judicial execution (when we all agree it’s bullshit). Police shooting unarmed Black people is the same thing.

    He’s not being killed for a crime, he’s being killed for being Black. This is their whole thing. They want Black people to live in fear and be reminded that they are inferior to the racists.

    This is their institutionalized retaliation for the civil war.

    I don’t know how, but the entire stack of people that could have prevented this but didn’t should now be considered murderers and in some future they will be tried with conspiracy to murder and be incarcerated. We cannot send the message that this is in anyway ok in the year 2024.

      Just cause the wording is a bit weird in the post qbove, to clarify:

      Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would grant the application for stay of execution of sentence of death.

    Then-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens ® paused Williams’s execution in 2017 and charged a board with collecting evidence about whether he was innocent. Current Gov. Mike Parson ®, who succeeded Greitens, later disbanded the board and last year began a push to set an execution date.

    The cruelty is the point

    It’s ILLEGAL to be Homeless and also if the State Decides to put you on Death Row for Literally ANY Reason at all you HAVE to die! The also REFUSE to Raise the Minimum Wage or make Housing Affordable. But I see NOTHING wrong with this as a Pro Life Republican!

      I was going to just ask, “Why?!” but I think you summed it up pretty well.

        It doesn’t matter who we throw into the volcano as long as we throw someone into the volcano.
