And in the meantime, the Twitter crazies are being whipped into a frenzy against not only Justice Clarence Thomas, but against Michelle Malkin(??) by Alec Baldwin:

Michelle’s getting quite a few threats from these creatures.

Sayonara, suckah!

I love it when a plan comes together.

One less cop killer.

“Amnesty International says nearly 1 million people had signed a petition on Davis’ behalf”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The day something like this petition has any bearing on our justice system is the day we can toss the whole thing off the fantail and switch to the law of the jungle.

I am disgusted that we put Troy Davis to death tonight.

We should have done it in 1989.

Davis was not the only U.S. inmate put to death Wednesday evening. In Texas, white supremacist gang member Lawrence Russell Brewer was put to death for the 1998 dragging death of a black man, James Byrd Jr., one of the most notorious hate crime murders in recent U.S. history.

It's a shame there was no Texas hate crime law on the books at the time so that Brewer could have received a harsher sentence.

In this particular case, several witness have recanted, and there’s not any substantial forensic evidence. I think they may have executed an innocent person.

Defiant to the end, he told relatives of Mark MacPhail that his 1989 slaying was not his fault. "I did not have a gun," he insisted.

27 people insisted you did.

Maybe we’ll be fortunate enough to see Alec Baldwin get dragged behind a car in time for the next election.

[Happy Rain]

Only a truly civilized and virtuous society has the moral authority to expect it’s people to obey the law and to expect as well the ultimate justice for violating the ultimate law.
Societies without Capital Punishment or fail to use Capital Punishment in an effective way degenerate.

[EverOnward]

The libs love cop killers, don’t they? Liberalism is a mental illness.

[BO Stinkss]

Even if he didn’t do it, he was guilty of something.

[SamAdams76]

Outside the prison (where the execution was taking place), a crowd of more than 500 demonstrators cried, hugged, prayed and held candles.

Did these people conduct a similar vigil at the funeral of the slain police officer? Just wondering.

[treetopsandroofs]

Liberals are sad.

[YourAdHere]

Excellent news to start the day! Thanks.

Laura Moye of Amnesty International said..."The state of Georgia is about to demonstrate why government can't be trusted with the power over life and death".

But that is the very definition of government, so what she's really saying is, "Let's annihilate society all together," simply because it is imperfect.

Regardless of whether you support any application of capital punishment in this day and age, or whether you think Mr. Davis was guilty or innocent or deserving of death or not, everyone ought to accept the basic principle that the government has the right and power to execute.
