I think God creates life, and God takes it away. I just don’t agree with the death penalty except in very rare circumstances. This is not one of those circumstances. I don’t believe he would have been a threat to the population if left in prison for life. It’s interesting to me that the son of the victim believes he should not have been killed either.

You have to be liberal to understand all this hyphenated stuff.

When Gov. McGreevey of NJ was outed as homosexual and resigned amid a homosexual sexual scandal, the Human Rights Campaign told him to say that he was a gay American. As if that made it all better.

So, assuming those numbers are correct, blacks are about twenty times as likely to commit murder as non-blacks. I wonder if that will be included in Obama’s national conversation about race?

There’s still a long way to go to resolve the problems.

What makes it more egregious is that BLACK MEN make up less than 7% of the overall population yet commit more than half of ALL murders. Hey Jessy? Al you there?

This was the 8th African American executed this year in Texas. There have been a total of 10 executions so far in Texas, the nation's most active capital punishment state

You’ve also got to realize that it’s a small portion of that 7% committing those murders. Not every black man is a murderer.

Another person who happens to be black committed a capital crime in a state that has the death penalty.

Whoa. Amazing headline.

Black and guilty, right? With due process, right?

How many blacks have been killed in Chicago WITHOUT protection from the state and because of family-destroying policies of the welfare peddlers?

“I don’t believe he would have been a threat”

No point in doing it half way and taking a risk.

We’re now positive he wont be a threat.
