Funny, nothing was said about Ross' victims: Douglas Birdsall and Viola McVade. Douglas Birdsall was White and Viola McVade was Black.
From http://urbangrounds.com/2013/07/execution-ross-vaughn/:
"Prosecutors say the murders took place because of an ongoing argument between Ross and McVade, who was his girlfriend’s sister. Birdsall, the Associate Dean of Libraries at Texas Tech University, was killed because he was with McVade, whom he had met that night. Unfortunately for Birdsall, his affinity for street prostitutes put him in the wrong place at the wrong time that night.
"The evidence is legally and factually sufficient to support appellant’s conviction. The murders occurred in an alley very near appellant’s apartment. Appellant threatened Viola with violence not long before she was murdered. Shortly before the murders, appellant told Liza to leave appellant’s apartment because he did not want her there in case anything happened. Liza also saw appellant wearing latex gloves, and a latex glove tip containing appellant’s DNA and Birdsall’s blood was found inside Birdsall’s car. Birdsall’s blood was also on appellant’s sweatshirt. Appellant incriminated himself when the police asked him about the murder weapon, and he incriminated himself to his mother."
Where is Reverend Al to tell us the truth?
“Where is Reverend Al to tell us the truth?”
Facts and truth are now immaterial.
What counts is tribal self-identification, and supporting your perceived tribal members no matter how heinous the crime.
I don’t think our founders ever envisioned how balkanized we have become...
