The right wing White 2% decided that death was appropriate and the masses are again kept in check.



I need another brick to bang my head against, this one has too much blood on it.

1. Agreed. What happened yesterday wasn't justice, it was vengeance.
And when you're thirsty for blood, any blood will do. Shameful.

2. 2%
I do believe you underestimate the supporters of capital punishment.

Try 64%.

4. I guess I did.
Are you implying that the wealthiest 2% are somehow responsible for the execution of this convicted cop killer?

The right wing 2% does plenty of terrible things and is responsible for plenty of misery, but I can't blame them for this when there are liberals and democrats who support the death penalty as well.

5. But even among those who support capital punishment, I suspect many wouldn't support.....

..... the death penalty in a case with so many obvious doubts, n'est-ce pas?

6. So your contention is that 98% of the country
is against the death penalty, while the 2% for it are solely caucasians?

How do you come to this conclusion?
