Troy Davis execution delayed

Again Dixie, you have the probable truth and even the words in your pinhead bias post.

"I can tell you about that 'brotherhood'... if someone kills one of their own, they are going to bring that individual to justice, they won't be satisfied with, or settle for, anything less."

And the police DECIDED before any trials that individual was guilty. And the 'brotherhood' used 'cajoling', threats and coerced testimonies and eye witness accounts to convict that individual.

Then why did they release the first man they charged? Seems like, if they were just wanting blood and any black man would do, they would have gone with the one they had already arrested and had in custody... or why not do a 2-for-1 deal and convict both? As the investigation unfolded, they determined they had the wrong man.... they *gasp* released him! Oh my....the KKK should revoke their memberships!

They didn't get the memo, apparently. Too bad... so sad... another pinhead bites the big one!
Sorry, can't feel sorry for the guy... I think he was guilty as charged and it's a travesty the family and taxpayers have had to deal with his sorry ass for the past 22 years, while he exhausted every attempt at appeal. Liberals don't really give a shit about the details of this case or justice, the guy had black skin and was convicted of killing a white police officer, that's all they need to know. It just automatically stands to reason with a Lib that he was innocent, framed by racist white authorities, and wrongly convicted (and executed.)

tff how legion ignores that he made this about race. dixie is merely pointing out that liberals make this about race.

legion troll is a dumb dumb and lacks reading comprehension skills past 1st grade.

It amazes me that every time one of these minority killers is about to die for a brutal killing, the liberal idiots come out of the wood work to proclaim his innocence. Davis sat on death row for 22 years, even the four liberal justices on the nation's highest court agreed - Davis had multiple chances to prove his innocence, and each time he failed. Reading the papers, I read hundreds of thousands signed petitions to stop the execution, about 800 people protested in front of the prison. Now compare that to the man convicted of killing James Byrd a black man, 13 years ago, their was no petitions to stop it, no FaceBook pages proclaiming his innocence, and around 50 people showed up for the execution, which included media, filmmakers, and a few protesters.

Here's a newsflash, bozo. Liberals also come out for majority killers if there's even the shadow of a doubt that they may be innocent. Unfortunately, minorities are disproportionately represented on death row. Justice is not equal when it comes to race. Why don't you click on this link of those exonerated by the Innocence Project, and ask yourself why so many of them aren't white. Try to think beyond your knee-jerk bigotry for once.

William S. Sessions who is the former director of the FBI, a former federal judge and federal prosecutor does not agree with you. I guess he should have consulted with you first!!

Maybe he should have consulted with the 7 blacks and 5 whites on the jury which unanimously convicted Davis? Or maybe he should have consulted with the several appeals courts, as well as the US court of appeals, who rejected his appeal a number of times? You people want to act like the police just arrested this innocent man on the street one day, and sentenced him to death without so much as a trial! He had his day in court, he had 22 years to appeal the verdict, every effort to ensure justice was made for Davis, and in the end, the courts upheld the conviction and he was executed.

You didn't just post the time of his death. You preceded it with this snarky comment: Troy is T O A S T.

Totally classless comment.

That's kind of the point. The justice system just executed a potentially innocent man and it was entirely constitutional. All the Constitution guarantees is a full and fair trial. Once you get that, and Troy Davis had that, it is exceedingly difficult to prove innocence, even if you are in fact innocent.

Troy Davis was executed notwithstanding that, at the time of his execution, there was substantial doubt as to his guilt.

Tell me... how were the police involved in prosecution of the case? My understanding of the justice system is, the District Attorney prosecutes cases, not the police department. Do you have ANY evidence the police "coerced" or "cajoled" in ANY way here? Or is this mere SPECULATION on your part, because you have no other plausible explanation for why the man was convicted by a jury of 7 blacks and 5 whites?

There was NO doubt as to his guilt by the jury who heard his trial! They voted UNANIMOUSLY to convict him! Now you can take ANY case that has ever been heard before a court in America, and you can pick it apart and infer speculation, question the testimony, etc... and you can come up with SOME question of doubt, if you try hard enough. That applies to every case across the board. We can't possibly have a justice system where convictions are only made when there is 100% absolute certainty beyond all doubt. The guy could CONFESS and you could say, well... he's obviously distraught and under pressure, he doesn't know what he's saying.... Beyond a reasonable doubt... that's the criteria.

with death, it should be 100%.
 
Applause and cheering when executions are mentioned in a televised debate, wishing a condemned man could be tortured...the Right is doing a great job showing voters what they really stand for.

I'm not disagreeing that a jury was convinced that he was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt at the time of his conviction. I am saying that at the time of his execution there was substantially more than reasonable doubt that he was the guilty party. There is a reasonable chance (and some would say likely) that the state killed an innocent man. From a Constitutional perspective, it doesn't matter because the Supreme Court said so, but from a moral perspective it is an absolute travesty.

And we certainly could have a justice system that 100% ensured that the state didn't kill innocent people, we just elect not to.

And that denotes that Troy was executed.....he's toast.....only its more apt for those fried in the chair....

like NPR said here...Foreign Policy: What Happens If Obama Is Toast?
http://www.npr.org/2011/09/07/140244194/foreign-policy-what-happens-if-obama-is-toast
Think they were being racial ?
I have no doubt that if Fox News said Obama is Toast, you would claim it was a racial attack...thats the way pinheads operate, on the "double standard"

Are you claiming NPR and moi are 'snarky'.....haha.....thats a stretch even for a clown like you
cry me a river.

And that would be my preference. I don't see execution as justice. It smacks more of revenge.

Revenge is everywhere....all over the entire world....whether it is manifested in execution, jail time, flogging or a $10 fine......its just a matter of degree.

Some prefer to call it justice, its all the same.
