Barring a minor miracle, inmate Troy Davis of Georgia will die by injection today, despite high-profile support from the pope, former President Jimmy Carter, a former FBI director and many others who believe Davis was wrongly convicted of killing an off-duty Savannah police officer in 1989.It was iffy after the Pope and FBI director came out. But with Jimmy Carter, well- now there's a reason not to execute a convicted cop killer.
On Tuesday, Georgia's pardons board rejected a last-ditch clemency plea. Now, the state may well execute an innocent man -- or at least one whose guilt is subject to reasonable doubt.For the record, the Detroit Free Press editorial board is stacked top to bottom with pro-aborts that have no problem with the physical tearing apart of innocent babies limb from limb, which makes this next part especially ironic:
...Given the circumstances, Davis' execution will be especially barbaric. It will further discredit the entire criminal justice system and the death penalty itself, which is imposed disproportionately on poor people, African Americans and Latinos.They're correct about the death penalty being imposed disproportionately on poor people and blacks, but it is done so via abortion, not capital punishment. One million babies will lose their lives this year alone, disproportionately poor and black. Compared to a few dozen criminals that perpetrated most heinous acts against their fellow man. More from John Hawkins via memeorandum: Why Do Liberals Have Such a Soft Spot for Cop Killers Like Troy Davis?
Mumia Abu-Jamal killed Philadelphia police officer Daniel Faulkner. Leonard Peltier murdered FBI agents Jack Coler and Ronald Williams. Liberals enthusiastically supported both of them. Now, the latest liberal cause célèbre is Troy Davis, who shot police officer Mark MacPhail to death in a crowded Burger King parking lot.Very few bloggers out there today are pointing out the utter depraved hypocrisy in demanding life for murderers, but death for innocent babies. Why is that?
We have a justice system that is already ridiculously slanted against the death penalty. It usually takes decades of appeals and retrials to put anyone to death, no matter how ironclad the evidence is against him. Despite farfetched claims that large numbers of innocent men have been put to death, there's actually no solid evidence that an innocent man has been executed in this country in the last fifty years. Of course, that doesn't stop people from making unproven claims to the contrary and backing it up with deliberately deceptive evidence. The only thing that proves is that if there's a market for anything, somebody will step up to provide it. Liberals don't like the death penalty; so they are desperate to find proof that innocent men have been executed and there are people who are willing to make money providing that evidence, no matter how far they have to stretch to deliver it.
