The operative description here is “convicted killers,” not the color of the skin of the murderers.
Would it be racist to point out that it ain’t about their color, it is about their crimes?
I am just curious here. Are there any white men/women also scheduled for execution in our prison system around the same time and/or convicted of similar crimes?
Is the fact they happen to be black an automatic defense of the crime(s)? Is the sole fact they are black the reason?
.”..then you might be fryin’!”
In other words, the world is about to become a slightly better place by a factor of three.
Based on the headline and the source, I expected a whiny “black folks is oppressed” style of article.
It actually was good reporting. No overt “Thats Racist” and anti-death penalty blatherings.
“Within 24 Hours: Three Black Men Set to Be Executed in Three States (Afro Reports)”
Good! Three murdering scum are about to meet their maker. I guess we’re supposed to feel sad. OK altogether now
Baa Waa!!
***...since a botched execution in Oklahoma**
What do they mean “botched!” He’s dead isn’t he! Lived long enough to regret his crime?
When discussing the DP Ron White once said..”if you come to Texas and kill someone,we will kill you back.”.Sounds reasonable to me.It’s reasonable regardless of the race/gender/ethnicity/religion or sexual “orientation” of the killer or the killee.
And how many hundreds of future black men are being aborted in the same time period with nary a peep.
***...despite claims that Henry is mentally ill and intellectually disabled. ***
Ever notice how the more vicious a black criminal is the more they plead “Mentally Ill”? Gets them life instead of the needle.
As long as all of the evidence is solid and irrefutable I could care less as the execution stops the heart and organs are all the same colour no matter who you are.
If we execute 3 black scumbags I am fine with executing 20 more white scumbags at the same tiem as long as all the evidence and verdicts are in order.
If I could complete the executions with a keystroke I wouldn't give it a second thought. In fact, I would do it while eating a sandwich, watching sports, and talking on the phone to someone about their weekend plans. And then I would forget about it in ten minutes -- while the thugs' suburban white left-wing lawyers still sobbed together in their group-hugs.
“Wellons was convicted in the 1989 rape and murder of India Roberts, his 15-year-old neighbor in suburban Atlanta. Later that day, a man told police he saw a man carrying what appeared to be a body in a sheet. Police found the girl’s body in a wooded area. She had been strangled and raped.
Henry stabbed his estranged wife, Suzanne Henry, to death a few days before Christmas in 1985. Hours later, he killed her 5-year-old son from a previous relationship. Henry had previously pleaded no contest to second-degree murder for fatally stabbing his common-law wife, Patricia Roddy, in 1976
in 1996, in a jealous rage, Winfield showed up outside Donald’s apartment in St. Louis County and confronted her, along with two friends of hers. Winfield shot all three women in the head. Arthea Sanders and Shawnee Murphy died. Donald survived but was blinded.”
And the point is?
***Florida, Georgia and Missouri — refuse to say where they get their drugs,***
Oh for heaven’s sake! Give that criminal a shot of BLACK LEAF 40 or Benzine! It will put them down QUICK!
Sure, all three men executed were black. But not that it should matter, but I’d like to point out that in all three cases all the victims were black as well. So how can it be racist to carry out the death penalty here?
I don’t care about the color of these capital criminals, and 3 is far too few.
IIRC, whites are executed at a higher rate than their per capita ratio of execution-eligible murderers, compared to blacks.
We would hate to have convicted murderers die from botched executions.
Yep! Exactly. If you or I had done what they were convicted of, we’d be right beside them.
The time to think “appeal”, is when you’re thinking of doing the crime. Pardon yourself by not doing it!
