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.

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.

Just cause the wording is a bit weird in the post qbove, to clarify:

Justice Sotomayor, Justice Kagan, and Justice Jackson would grant the application for stay of execution of sentence of death.
