Welcome to the United States of Barbarians
Edited on Wed Sep-21-11 11:47 PM by BeHereNow
I can't begin to tell you how I feel tonight.
I watched all of the Democracy Now live stream from
the execution grounds in Georgia.

Until the bitter end when the prison officials
pulled the cord on the crew-

One of the last people she interviewed was Larry Cox.
He made me cry- his remorse and clearly shaken state
affected me deeply. Any of you who saw him know
what I am talking about.

It's official, and he said it-
This country and our judicial system has become the vehicle of pure EVIL.

The SCOTUS is a farce.
Of course we knew that when they selected GWB,
but somehow, tonight was the pinnacle for me as to the
fact that evil is real and has come to live permanently in
the United States of America.

BHN

I am ashamed of this country- deeply saddened and ashamed.

1. Uncivilized nation
Didn't you stop to think any nation that allows people who need medical care to die is uncivilized? We're a barbarian nation that rations health care due to personal wealth. Knowing that, does the execution really surprise you?

2. No, it did not surprise me in the least.
It did cement the fact that evil is ruling us, and I don't
believe in abstracts like "evil."

7. Unfortunately, evil isn't an abstraction.
It's very much a reality, and I think we all know that if we didn't before.

3. "I am ashamed of this country- deeply saddened and ashamed." I am
so with you on that. We are as bad or worse than many of the Middle Eastern Nations that we criticize. Sorry, but I really think that Obama could have given a voice to this Barbaric happening tonight, but chose not to. Not surprised though, considering that he didn't think that Bush/Cheney deserved to be prosecuted.

4. There was SO much reasonable doubt that emerged from
recanting witnesses- HOW did this happen???
Jurors came forward and said they would not have
voted guilty if they had been presented with ALL of the evidence-
and yet, an innocent person was murdered.
He requested a polygraph test!
Request denied.

It is almost as though he became the sacrificial lamb
in a message from the PTB-
"We will kill whom ever we please, when ever we please
and to hell with the law or what you think of it."

It's extremely disturbing in that light-
for that is EXACTLY what they did tonight.

cry tonight when I heard the final results. Right now I so hate this country and it's BS. We have politicians saying that we are a country of LAWS, and I ask. LAWS for who?
