Missouri Attorney General is Allowed to Murder an Innocent Man
Then-Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens ® paused Williams’s execution in 2017 and charged a board with collecting evidence about whether he was innocent. Current Gov. Mike Parson ®, who succeeded Greitens, later disbanded the board and last year began a push to set an execution date.
The cruelty is the point
Blood for the blood god!
I was going to just ask, “Why?!” but I think you summed it up pretty well.
It doesn’t matter who we throw into the volcano as long as we throw someone into the volcano.
Moments before, the Supreme Court denied his emergency requests to halt the execution. The three justices appointed by Democratic presidents — Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson — voted to block it.
As always, Republicans and their voters are filth.
After the one in Arkansas, the pattern I’m seeing throughout history? This is a lynching. A slow process of gathering the right mob to make it a technically judicial execution (when we all agree it’s bullshit). Police shooting unarmed Black people is the same thing.
He’s not being killed for a crime, he’s being killed for being Black. This is their whole thing. They want Black people to live in fear and be reminded that they are inferior to the racists.
This is their institutionalized retaliation for the civil war.
I don’t know how, but the entire stack of people that could have prevented this but didn’t should now be considered murderers and in some future they will be tried with conspiracy to murder and be incarcerated. We cannot send the message that this is in anyway ok in the year 2024.
