Sometimes it just feels like Americans are freaking savages. Abolish capital punishment.
I understand the feeling, but try not to pigeonhole. There are 300 million Americans, and I haven’t done a survey, but a substantial percent of the population thinks that the death penalty sucks. That’s one reason many states don’t use it at all.
I get that some states don’t do it, but the federal government also does it on behalf of everyone.
It doesn’t work that way.
Murderers.
Regardless of his guilt, the death penalty should only be levied when there is no other viable option. This is a travesty.
What other options would have made him less black? Let’s be honest, this was because he’s black.
And nothing was solved.
The death penalty is just a system of torture and bloody minded vengeance. This dude was innocent and it didn’t matter at all. Anyone that argues in favor of this type of shit is a broken minded psycho that should be shunned.
How do you know he was innocent? Not trying argue, just wondering.
“Owens was convicted of the 1997 killing of a Greenville convenience store clerk during a robbery. While on trial, Owens killed a person incarcerated at a county jail. His confession to that attack was read to two different juries and a judge who all sentenced him to death.”
