Bluesky Post

Transcript

Alabama suffocated a man to death in a gas chamber tonight after starving him so he wouldn’t choke on his own vomit as they did it. And this was deemed perfectly legal by multiple courts in the vaunted American legal system.

That’s what happens when you value institutions over people.

    Some people are found not guilty when they really are, and some people are found guilty when they’re really not. This is not a good enough metric by which to judge whether we should end a person’s life.

      Good enough for me.

        So you are totally fine with a justice system that let Emmett Till’s murderers go free, and slaughtered a man who lost his daughters to a fire he didn’t start? Absolutely monstrous.

          As stated before our system is not perfect. You seem all too eager to let those who have murdered, raped, and destroyed entire families live full lives while their victims are dead or suffering.

            And you seem all to eager to let the state kill innocent people, as long as guilty people get killed too.

              No I’m eager for Justice to be served. Something you don’t seem to have any interest in.

                A life sentence is justice served.

                  Not for the victims who can’t live a full life.

                    A life in prison is justice for taking a life.
