    Everyone from the Attorney General down to the guy giving the lethal injection is a murderer.

      This is also the case for all other executions – it’s just state-sanctioned murder – but this case is so clearly awful and a racist lynching that hopefully it starts waking up the people who defend the death penalty.

        One of the problems these monsters have been having with carrying out executions is that they can’t get pharma companies to sell them the drugs they use and they can’t find actual healthcare professionals to perform the act. That’s why there’s been a few cases recently of having to cancel or postpone an execution because they couldn’t get the damn IV line in.

        He did do something, which was to disband the committee investigating whether this man was wrongfully convicted or not and then later he denied a stay of execution.
