A Tale of Two Executions

While I get the point of the article, anybody who works as a contract killer has probably done enough to warrant execution.

"One has to wonder why this execution went ignored."

I don't. He was White, old and didn't attract the degenerate 'Celebrities' and Race Baiters like Jesse Jackson. As a result the MSM found it too much trouble to whip up the masses to create a news event. It's really very simple AND very Racist if you ask me but typical of our new up is down Society.

Its the Race Card TM. If Stanley Williams had been a white gangbanger, the Left would not have raised a finger for him. He just happened to have the right skin color and that's what attracted liberals to him like bears are attracted to honey.

There was a mental illness question. Of course, Clinton allowed a guy missing 40% of his brain (Rector) to be executed for political reasons.

If only Mr Nixon had written a few children's books!

White guys will never be victims. They're not politically correct.

"There was a mental illness question. Of course, Clinton allowed a guy missing 40% of his brain (Rector) to be executed for political reasons."

I know this is going to sound cold but I am generally in favor of executing contract killers no matter what.

For all the talk of the death penalty being given disproportionately to blacks, the fact remains that they are 12% of the US population and commit 50% of the murders.

By that math, 50% of the people on death row ought to be black, but they aren't.

[GSlob]

It's not "bears attracted to honey" but "flies attracted to sh*t". Bears, after all, are omnivores.

[Sthitch]

Not one Catholic Bishop made a public statement about the execution of John Nixon. Yet, they were very outspoken about Williams’ execution. Bishop Nicholas DiMarzio of Brooklyn, N.Y., the chairperson of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Domestic Policy, wrote a letter to California Governor Schwarzenegger requesting Williams not be executed.

As a Catholic, I am very uncomfortable with the death penalty (but would not say that I am opposed to it), and I have no problem with the Bishops taking a stance against it, I just wish they would be consistent and if they are going to stand-up for scum, that they do so for all scum, not just the politically correct scum.

Death penalty is not given for murder, but for aggravated murder. Plus many blacks live in jurisdictions where the death penalty is rarely given, even when justified or legal.

Mississippi ping

[WKB]

Unlike the Tookie Williams execution, there were no protests about this execution.



This is not rocket science

One in Ca. One in Mississippi
nuff said

[Sybeck1]

They knew Haley would not entertain their antics like Arnold did.

[Redleg Duke]

I don't think that was the point. The point was that it is okay to execute white criminals, but not black criminals.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Death penalty is not given for murder, but for aggravated murder. Plus many blacks live in jurisdictions where the death penalty is rarely given, even when justified or legal.

My point was that blacks are not disproportionately represented on death row.

My point still stands.

[WKB]

Haley being a Presbyterian
probably figured he was gonna die anyway

[oyez]

If Stanley Williams had been a white gangbanger, the Left would not have raised a finger for him.

Oh yes they would have raised their middle finger.

The Good news is that they are both dead, The bad news is that it took 20 years to do it.
