The 'Other' Execution Tonight—Man Who Dragged James Byrd, Jr. To His Death
   
http://www.thenation.com/blog/163536/other-execution-to...

If you are inclined to question capital punishment, it is not hard to protest the scheduled execution tonight of Troy Davis in Georgia. His case contains much doubt about his guilt, and the racial aspect (black man as victim of white-dominated justice system in the former Confederacy) is undeniable. What really tests a principled position against the death penalty are cases like Lawrence Brewer.

That's why I was happy to receive, just a few minutes ago, an email from the National Coalition Against the Death Penalty. Of course, it calls for last-minute action to save Davis. But it also includes this key section:

"We should also note the odd juxtaposition of the two executions scheduled for exactly the same time this evening. At 7pm EDT in Georgia, racism plays a part in the execution of Troy Davis. At 6pm CDT in Texas, Lawrence Brewer is to be executed for his participation in the infamous racist hate crime dragging murder of James Byrd in Jasper, TX in 1998. Please join NCADP in opposing the executions of both men. We stand against all executions without reservation."

The Brewer case certainly tests one principles (as did, for example, the McVeigh case). There is the matter of the brutality of the crime. Not only was it racist in origin but evidence suggests Byrd was alive for most of the ordeal, losing body parts as he was dragged and ultimately decapitated. Then there is the fact that Brewer (and at least one of his colleagues, also on death row) was a white supremacist.

Of course DU will spring into action to save his life too, or maybe they will just send the prison guards pizza.  :-)

1. Troy Davis is who we need to be concerned about right now
   
and that's where my attention will remain focused.

Yep screw the white guy.

...a proud racist and a contemptable human being who uses that hateful "N" word with impunity (except around me). This horse's patoot thought that the murder of James Byrd was a good thing.

Personally, I agree with the OP that some death penalty cases are going to test your principles. I have no coubt that little ricky perry will see this execution as a chance to show "dem colered folks" that he really isn't a bigot at all. Yeh, right.

PEACE!

I'm guessing he must be a teabagger.  :whatever:

3. I remain 100% opposed to the death penalty for anybody.
   
Life at hard labor for Byrd's murderers is fine with me.

Then you would protest "slave labor", and corporations getting stuff done for free.

A whole bunch of lip service, but not one post about calling, emailing, or actually trying to save the white guy.

Just so no one misunderstands me, I am pointing out the hypocrisy of the left on this, I think that both of those animals need to meet their maker tonight.

4. I'm fine with Brewer dieing expeditiously.

Heinous crime, certainty of agency, and no compelling mitigating circumstance.

His execution is justice served.

Troy Davis, not so much.

Several responses like this, too.

They are lying if they say they care if Brewer is put to death.  Even the NCADP  :whatever:  don't care if he dies. If they did they would have said something about it long before their hypocritical side was showing for the world to see.

Well color me surprised!  DUmbass hypocrites all for sticking to the white murderer, but crying for the black one.  Their racism along with their blatant hypocrisy never, ever, ever fails to be entirely predictable.

OK DUmmies...why the rush to kill the white guy?

Why do white men spend half the amount of time on death row that blacks do?

Blah-blah-blah...y'all get the picture.

Yes, because somewhere down deep, within each DU scumbag, is their God-given conscience, telling them that this guy really does deserve the death penalty.  Ergo, they cannot display the appropriate testicular fortitude to condemn this killing.

It just goes to show you that even liberals can't stomach their own policies half the time.

Stormfront can only dream of the hate and racism of these peaceful and tolerant communists of the DUmp

They seem to think that all conservatives are stuck in the 50s or something.

PEACE!

This might be a little off topic but ever time some fake though lefty yells PEACE! as a way of saying bye I just want to cut kick them. I don't know if it is because it is just really annoying or just the staggering pretentiousness of it.
