Urge Gov. Perdue to Support Clemency for Troy Davis- AN INNOCENT MAN MIGHT BE PUT TO DEATH-

The death penalty is neither just nor is it a deterrent. As imperfect beings, we make mistakes in these cases all the time. The cable channels are full of exquisitely-documented forensic shows of cases where those imprisoned are PROVEN to be completely innocent of the crimes for which they are convicted.

To those who take the attitude that "it comes with the territory" or the more "Bubba-like" expression of "$hit Happens", I say I hope that it befalls those who have that attitude BEFORE it ever happens to a single innocent person.

So who among the pro death penalty morons would like to "DONATE" his life to somehow balance the karma for the one innocent person who may be next?

No! Those idiots always think in terms of third persons or nameless faces they will never see or meet.

That sort of detachment was and is how many look at the innocent lives of those killed in Iraq and were unfeelingly refered to as "collateral damage".

War should be HELL for those who start it before it is HELL for any who have to go through it.

When any of you who feel that way see the rotting, fly-covered bodies of holocaust victims or Africans killed in the latest bloodshed, do you think, "I wonder who that person was or what that person was doing to interact with his family and his loved ones before his life was taken from him?"

If you don't, you should feel as guilty as those who cared no more than did you.

Even for someone who supports the death penalty, this can't be seen as just or rational.

Amen, oncechance! I've written several times before.

I hate to be a forecaster of gloom and doom but WE ARE dealing with the "Medieval" State of Georgia here and all the "Bubba's" who run it. Where else but in the Deep South from Texas to Florida would one find the those recessive genes common to inbred KKK members who still run state and local governments?

Georgia, like other Southern Republican states have pin-headed District Attorneys that can't make it in private practice. Therefore, they fiercely guard the few convictions they get as if a reversal would drop them a pay grade.

Their interest is seldom in finding the truth but instead rears its ugly head as they protect the tainted convictions of those whom they have railroaded into jail or worse.

May there be a special seat in Hell for those so inclined.

Georgia was wrested from Native Americans to be a penal and debtor's colony for those who supposedly broke British laws.

It certainly looks as though the "Cretins" that ran Georgia spawned lots of "Deliverance Types" to carry on.

The Governor and the Parole Board can leave for Hell today for the way they have handled this case and I won't shed a tear, especially if they give the last two Texas "Drive-By Lethal Injection" Governors a free ticket, too.

They are "Backwards Bumpkins" who don't deserve our respect any more than the positions they "good ol' boyed" their way into.

That other Texas Governor is none other than George "Murdered over 4,000 of our Troops While he Lied About Iraq" Bush.

Too many times we see innocent people fall into the system based on coerced testimony and faulty DNA testing. The death penalty needs to go.
