I’d be curious to see if Michael Moore attended...
Why did Troy Davis become a cause celebre for death penalty opponents, when these people said nothing about the execution of the killer of James Byrd?
Remember James Byrd was the black man who was dragged behind a truck. His killer, a white man, was executed the same day as Troy Davis. If death penalty opponents truly oppose executions of all kinds, that day was set up to give them a doubleheader sweep of capital punishment happening in America, which they allegedly oppose in all forms.
Yet nothing was said about the killer of James Byrd being put to death. They only had sympathy for the cop killer Troy Davis.
They certainly pick and choose which cases to make a cause celebre. Again, if they really oppose capital punishment for any case, there should have been protests about the killer of James Byrd as well. Just saying.............
