And justice is done. RIP Officer Mark MacPhail and family.

The killing of innocent people is considered MURDER. Nation of cowards.

Rest in peace. If you killed that officer; you made a very unfortunate choice that cost you your life. I don’t know you and you are just another unfortunate footnote in American history. I am only posting this comment to make one comment. YOU DON’T FIND SHELL CASINGS FROM A .38 CALIBER REVOLVER AT A CRIME SCENE. I wish more people understood handguns and guns in general so that lies like those that allege shell casings from a .38 match a gun that was used in a crime could not prevail in criminal cases. A revolver does not eject shell casings the way a semi-automatic handgun does. Just think about that for a minute. 

Yes, justice is killing a random black person to your average republican. You people need to find another way of venting your anger, this is going to stop.

So lets see, I’ll wager on one side half the people will say the guys burning in hell cause executions are always just and on the other side we’ll see that a man was wrongfully killed and is now a martyr and ever lasting symbol to the new wave of change that will surly sweep through the nation

maybe one or two people actually arguing the legalities, can’t expect too many rationale and reasonable individuals on these sites 

If said person was stupid enough to eject the shell casings on the scene, then yes, you would.

This guy killed a police officer. Beat a homeless man and was involved in a shooting just hours before all of this.Cry me a river.I feel sad for the victim’s family.

well, technically, when you execute someone its also called a homicide, you just had a better reason to kill that person

I don’t believe it.  I’ve been watching FNC since 11pm EST and there’s been not one mention of Davis being executed. And if FNC isn’t saying anything about it…it must be a lie, right?  RIGHT?

And the lynchings in the south continue.  Who needs justice when you can have a sweet cup of revenge.

This is not justice, it should have been without a reason of dought..Is this America?

You overcomplicated it.  You should have just said “I’ve got $10 that this thread will be politicized before the comment number hits 10.:”  That would have pretty much said the same thing.

But I still like the way you think.

are you sure?

Random black person? He was convicted and reviewed by at least 3 levels of court including the Supreme Court of the United States. He was guilty, showed no respect for another’s life especially of a police officer and got the punishment he deserved. 

While the real killer is out there in Savannah.  

May God have mercy on our souls. 

who else was executed today?

Maybe we can get OJ out of jail to help search for the real killer in  Savannah.

Civilized countries do not use the death penalty.

Such a medieval mindset. I disagree with the Catholic church on lots of things, but I respect the fact that present day Catholicism is adamantly against capital punishment.

touche salesman

why are you a coward ?

I’m not even going to pretend that you’re unaware of the evidence suggesting his innocence because you aren’t. YOU JUST WANT TO OFF A N****R. I know it, you know it and all black people know it. Seriously, therapy, all of you, now.

Whether he is guilty or innocent of his accused crime, I find the death penalty abhorrent. Always.

I do question if Troy Davis was guilty. A innocent man may have been executed.

He was given more chances to live than he gave the cop he murdered.

It brings up deep theological and philosophical issues.

 YOU JUST WANT TO OFF A N****R. I know it, you know it and all black people know it.

 
Awesome .

Isn’t it just like a leftist to tell us what we want and think?

Comes in handy since you’re too stupid to think for yourself.

Well if what the eyewitnesses said was true about cops coercing them,  he’s not the murderer.

However by all accounts he’s not completely clean too as his involvement and refusal to “snitch” should make him get a life imprisonment IMHO.

And pro-life conservatives all across the country weep for Troy Davis.

Teary eye for an eye…

Concerned Citizns ; were u there when it happen? Sit ur racist ass down somewhere

The evidence….?
You mean that stuff you read about on the internet like two days ago….?

Yeah….I’m sure you know all the details.

Go have a good cry for your gentle giant.

Sylvester “Redd” Coles

Yeah, they picked him up off the street and framed him (mumia was unavailable for framing) so the black guy who really did could go free. I think when lefties go to college they take a course called Imputing Bad Faith on People You Disagree With. They probably even offer a BA. An impacted program, no doubt.

 YOU JUST WANT TO OFF A N****R. I know it, you know it and all black people know it.

 
It’s good to see that Mediaite takes such a keen interest in what gets posted on its boards .

I suppose that Sharpo now will be along to say that I am  a ” poosey ” .

What ever happened to Lizzie Manning  ?  Back To Mars Investigations ?

shame on you. 

It’s unfortunate I’m an atheist… but for the sake of you and the average republican, I really hope there is some sort of judgement and hell. I also hope it doesn’t go lightly on willful ignorance.

That’s called begging the question. P.S. Murder is an unlawful killing. This was lawful, even if you don’t like it, bitch!

The real question I ask is if our criminal justice system is designed to punish or deter? It doesn’t seem to help much as a deterrent….and really, how much of a punishment is it for repeat offenders who are used to cell living? 

To a first time DUI offender, sure, I can see it being something they not want to go through again.  Hell, in GA on a DUI charge, you have to pay IN CASH to get be bailed out…then you have to PAY for your probation….as well as pay for a class…pay to get your permit back after you loose it for x number of months. So you have just payed the state to keep you from sitting in jail for a few months.  Again, I can see stuff like that as a deterrent….but if you’ve been through that a few times (or if you’re in a higher income bracket and can afford to pay the penalties or to an attorney who can get you a lesser charge), not much is learned from the crime committed.

Lawrence Russell Brewer was executed also.Funny you don’t the left sheding tears over his death. 
 

Can we execute you next?

so ,  it’s that you have no balls then .
 

I don’t think there is much comprehension as to what the flaw in this is. 

This isn’t racial. 
This isn’t political. This isn’t even guilty vs. innocence. 

This is someone who was convicted of murder and sentenced to death, solely on witness testimony. That’s it. 9 people said he did it. 7 people later “admitted” that they were coerced by law enforcement. There was no other evidence either physical or scientific. Yes, the “bullet” matched the gun that connected him to an earlier crime. However, there is no evidence that he was in possession of said gun that night. 

You all need to wake up and quit thinking this is racial or political or even if he was guilty or not guilty. Just know that 9 people could CLAIM to have seen YOU murder someone tonight in a dark parking lot…and even though you really are at home on this website, you can be found guilty and killed. 

F white folks? Even us good ones? I’m a Malcolm X scholar!

What’s the charge? Being dumb?

This wasn’t a good day for America, all the way around.

All we can do is hope and pray tomorrow will be.

Geez does anybody at mediaite monitor the names and comments of some of these posters. F white people really and how doesnt this get banned/removed?

Executed white guys don’t count.

You’re not helping anyone with that name..

We’re pro-life for innocent babies being killed in their mother not for cold blooded cop killers. You libs are the ass backwards ones who protect cop killers and cheer on killing babies.

Easy on the hyperbole, mandingaling. 

The death penalty is necessary otherwise crime would go up exponentially. The Supreme Court abolished the Death Penalty in their decision of Furman v. Georgia in 1972 which lasted all of 4 years until the crime exploded and the SC reversed their decision with Gregg v. Georgia. I hate people who watch 3 days of media propaganda and think they’re fucking constitutional scholars.

Whatever helps you Cons get through the night.  You people are truly disgusting. 

you mean the white supremacist dude? the same guy that told a local news channel he had “no regrets” about what he did and that he’d do it again?  that guy?

Well vile comments like that won’t get you banned, but if you dare call them out on their liberal bias, you’re outta here!

Whats a N****R?

Now, now don’t be scared now.  

If I shoot a cop in cold blood, I should be executed.

If I shoot a cop in cold blood, I should be executed.

Do you find abortion abhorrent?

Did you find it abhorrent that a Canadian woman gave birth, strangled her baby, and got off by the judge citing abortion law?  That’s abhorrent, not putting a cop killer to death.

 He could give a shit.  He is a conservative.  They applaud when the government kills another person.  He is pro life and for limited government, unless it’s a black man on death row in Georgia.  Then he could give a shit.  It really is pathetic.

What babies? This is what happens when you don’t believe in science. Inbred-backward ass-mouthbreathing-Bible fucking-afraid of your own shadow, assclown.

If they believe he’s guilty as charged (and convicted) then there is no moral contradiction there. You’d have to be semi-retarded to think there was.

I agree.  Can somebody check to see if hell has frozen over.  

Oh I see.
You don’t want the cop killer punished but you want vengeance for those who want him punished.
What did we do….?
We didn’t kill a cop.
If there is a hell then your little love bunny Troy is in line waiting to be processed.

Or if a random group of people just pretend you did bc they didn’t like you. Actually this kind of thinking is starting to grow on me.

Then there was the illegal mexican Leal who was recently executed for raping and sodomizing a young girl, crushing her skull with a block of asphalt, and leaving her dead with a 2×4 sticking out of her.

His last words, verbatim, were: Viva Mexico! Viva Mexico.

I think black cop killers, at least since the late 60s, hold a special place in the hearts of white lefties.

Truth hurts huh? Awww, baby gonna cry?

Oh I see.
You don’t want the cop killer punished but for some reason you want all of the people who agree with his punishment to burn in hell.
Got it.

What for…?
We didn’t kill no cop.

If there is a hell then Troy Davis is being processed as we speak.

So you’re okay with his execution?

Given BMG’s comments lately, I’m pretty sure it’s negative what-the-fuck degrees in Hell right about now…

A random group of people just decided? Absent a conspiracy? What are the odds? Troy Davis was OJ unlucky. Unfortunately, for him, he didn’t get OJ’s jury of angry blond-white-woman-hating government drone black women.

yes ,  it’s that you have no balls .

99.9% of pro cop killing groups are part of the Democrat party.

And you’re still a coward.  

I’ll pray for you, you pray for me, and watch GOD change things.

Actually science and technology is what makes me believe its a baby. Have you seen modern day ultrasound 3d camera imagery of babies in the womb. As early as a couple months it sure looks like a baby to me. 

because I’m sure these people speak for every liberal citizen in the U.S…… (sarcasm dots)

LeviCoultify Said :

Cry ,  no . I should hope that tears are reserved for whatever birthed you .

What about a solid alibi?

The 60s generation of leftists–especially the black radical segment–regarded law enforcement as the enemy and declared open season on them. It was the new left of the 1960s–led by communist jews and radical blacks–that popularized the term “pig” for police officer. Many still feel this way.

You libs are so consumed with racism. I dont care if he was white, like the piece of crap white supremacist that deserved to be executed tonight also. You’re cries of racism are like the boy who cried wolf you’ve overused it so much.

 He had numerous trials and no matter how many times it is attempted to be twisted he was a murdering phsycopath.

The shell casings for the person Troy shot in the face and the bullets that killed the cop matched.

There weren’t 9 witnesses, there were 34 eyewitnesses for the state, he murdered this cop in a burger king parking lot.

Among the many witnesses who did not recant were three airforce who witnessed the shooting one said “you don’t forget someone who stands over and shoots someone”

Three of the “recantations” were from Friends of Davis and were unbelievable – one said he was no longer sure he saw Davis shoot the cop even though he was standing five feet away. One supposed recantation wasn’t a recantation at all, the homeless guys girlfriend rather reiterated all relevant parts of her testimony.

Only two recanted anything of value and their affidavits were discounted by the court because Davis REFUSED to allow them to testify even though one was in the courtroom. The court warned davis refusing to call them would make their changed story worthless he refused, suggesting their lawyer written affadavits would not stand up to cross examination

More than a dozen courts looked at this case and refused to overturn his death sentence, because he was a cold blooded murderer.
It’s true that the bulk of the evidence against Davis was eyewitness testimony. That tends to happen when you shoot someone in a busy Burger King parking lot.

Wait. Are you saying there’s more to this story than the one presented by Davis’s lawyers, his family, and the NAACP?

I wrote this on a previous debate regarding this issue. For those of you who are pro death penalty and disagree with me thats ok. Im just asking you to think after reading this.

This has always been an interesting topic to me. One of my colleges  a police officer was shot in the head and killed on a car stop by a piece of scum. The death penalty in my state has been banned. However it was not yet in place when this occurred. They are fighting as we speak to get him the death penalty because it was not yet law when this occurred. It is a mess. Most would say he deserves death and I see their point of view. But there is a point where I look at should we reduce ourselves to these scums level or should we take the higher ground. As a police officer it is my duty to use restraint. An example of this is if I witness a man or women shot down in cold blood by a homicidal maniac and he then drops his weapon, I cannot shoot him in cold blood. Why is this? Because I am expected to be better than him and leave it up to the courts to decide if what he did deserves punishment under the mandated state law. There have been innocents executed. More so in the past than now but it does happen. Although it goes against my nature I would advise restraint in these matters and agree with Barney above. We cannot or should not reduce ourselves to this evil or risk that we become what we despise.

White supremacist gang member Lawrence Brewer was executed for the brutal dragging death of James Byrd Jr, a black man from Texas. Both he and Troy Davis, the cop killer in Georgia had full benefit of appeals and review for their crimes at both the state and federal levels.
Both men were proven guilty beyond any reasonable doubt and have now paid for their crimes.

yoda . it’s already been established that your lack of ball accounts for your cowardly behavior.
what your fragile X syndrome accounts for is also all to apparent .

when i shave your wife i’ll leave a landing strip.

Go to hell.  One was innocent and the other wasn’t. 

You sound so cute and charming.  I think someone needs a hug.  

Yes. I would bet most  folks defending this cop killer haven’t  looked at all the evidence. Instead, they are basing their  opinions  on what info they get from the leftkooksphere which is picked up by the media.

“If I knew then what I know now, Troy Davis would not be on death row.  The verdict would be not guilty.”  [Brenda Forrest, juror in Davis' trial]

Stop the hatred……If he was guilty he paid his price.  Attacking each other won’t bring back anyone
now!

We need more peace and love in the world!!!

May they both Rest in Peace.

Black or White we are all human…….

The person who takes the innocent life is infinitely worse than the person who takes the life of the person who took a life. Have any of the great moral philosophers in history argued otherwise? This idea, for example, that there is a contradiction between being pro-life and pro-death penalty is a recent invention by people who are both pro-abortion and anti-death penalty.

now that dadt has been repealed i’m sure that line will work well for you .

Stfu you pos.

But you’re against the death penalty, right? That’s what you keep preaching. But the white guy deserved it, so that’s okay? Good to know that the death penalty is okay for bad white guys. So your argument isn’t against the death penalty at all.

 Racism?  I merely pointed out that Troy Davis was black and Conservatives could give a shit about his life.   Its funny you Cons are so programed to play the victim when it comes to race.  You refuse to acknowledge my main point that small government conservatives, who claim to be pro life, are neither, if they allow the government to kill another human being, regardless of race.

I’ll buy you a ticket to n. korea or iran. Oh, I know how bout mexico? I hear it’s real nice…

Changing names to defend a cold blooded murderer? Very sad.

Bingo. Not even a mention from mediaite. Do they think we don’t notice the obvious?

The jury said otherwise, loser.

Speak for yourself, racist.

Sounds like I pushed your buttons!! 

I agree, 3 days of watching anything does not qualify someone as an expert.  I do disagree with your comment though. 

The SC did not abolish the Death Penalty in Furman, but it did effectively put a moratorium on death penalties until Gregg v California.  Furman found that the death penalty as applied was arbitrary and capricious; i.e., black guy rapes a woman and gets death penalty, while white guy could get jail.  Furman stated that the discrepancy in sentencing by itself constituted cruel and unusual punishment.  This forced states and fed gov to go back and rework the judicial system to try to remove the capricious nature found under furman.

The SC accepted Gregg v California to give guidance to the states.  Between Furman and Gregg there were other states that had implemented new requirements, but they still did not do enough.  Georgia (along with others) implemented more rigorous requirements that was found constitutional, and more states followed by example.  The Court did not overturn their Furman decision in Gregg.  In Gregg the Court stated that the judicial process put in place met the requirements for capital punishment by providing object criteria for imposing the death penalty and that the sentencer should be allowed to take into consideration the record and character of the defendant.

Yet you cheered when obl was assassinated…go figure.

Racist of the worst order.

I’m convinced mediaite is trying to start a civil war.

Unfortunately, we may never know the whole truth about this case. It is sad that one life was taken because another was taken. I do not believe, however, that things should be different because it was a police officer. I think the taking of a life makes no difference on what they do for a living. I would hope that people would not use race as an issue. We have to look at the picture as a whole. In 1989 a young man was killed by someone. If it wasn’t Troy Davis, then I can only hope that the truth comes out. If it was him, then he got what a jury of his peers suggested. That is what makes this country as great as it is. We have the right to a trial with a jury of our peers. That is what he got and they say he was guilty. I just hope now that all the people involved, both the officers family and Davis’s family can put this all past them now and move on with their lives. Its just sad all the way around.

you’re really embracing the repeal of dadt. mazel tov.

Wow you are crazy.  Really really crazy.  I’m sorry. 

Mark MacPhail family has got the justice. He was very cruel criminal. He has left a bad impact of his.
http://pinkpatchsite.com/

What Ms Davis knows now is not necessarily the truth. She is getting twisted information from twisted sources, unvetted by attorneys and judges. Another victim of a liberal press, believing that which that press spews.
That is why jury’s are sequestered. To protect them from the press, intimidation and other outside factors.

You are crazy.  But thanks for the laugh. 

You are crazy.  But thanks for the laugh. 

Put down your strawman, he look a little tattered.

It’s a VERY BAD WORD….only people of color are allowed to say it

So, you want to kiss the guys ass who killed your “friend?” Spend millions “rehabilitating” him? Either one works.

Those of you that are against the death penalty, have you spoken out against the execution of Lawrence Brewer today? Because race doesn’t have anything to do with it, right? White, black, no one should ever be executed, right?

So, lilly, you aren’t against the death penalty?

Scroll up and you will find your answer. They (the progs) cheered the white guys death and cried over the black guys death.

earlier in the day Davis shot a person and the bullets and shell casings matched the casings and bullets from this killing. ….these are FACTS…..why aren’t they ever addressed in these articles? An Inconvient Truth?

no Texan where did you get that from my post?  And putting my friend in quotes isn’t cool. Whatever dude this is something that hit me and my department personally so don’t put words in my mouth and don’t act like a smart ass for once in your obviously worthless life.

I actually used to believe in Quaker penitence, trying to extract something good from the evil monsters who commit these crimes so they can redeem their souls. But now that I am older and have read too many accounts of repeat offenders and the over crowding of our prisons along with the ridiculous cost to taxpayers to keep these scum alive each year (almost $50,000.00 per inmate a year), I am now all for execution so long as the evidence is irrefutable. I am not for executing innocent people.

A few years ago this a-hole was hassling me and pushing me trying to provoke me so I obliged him beat the living crap out of him. A few weeks after that altercation he crushed some random person’s skull in cold blood with a blunt object for no reason at all. His sentence…20 years. That’s all he got for killing someone, and when he get’s out I’m sure there will be a cop somewhere who will have to deal with this monster again.

You get that feeling too?

After commenting here for a few weeks it became obvious to me that half of the people who seem to be on the leftist side of the political spectrum are Blacks with huge chips on their shoulders and Mediaite actively cultivates them and feeds their anger.

I think he’s responding to a strain of argument that is popular on the anti-death penalty-pro-abortion left and which has been made several times in this thread. I know plenty of liberals and conservatives who ambivalent on both the death penalty AND abortion.

 I dont disagree with the fact that there are worthless pieces of crap out there. I run into them all the time. I have no sympathy for them and I don’t really have a concern if this guy is guilty or not. My guess is that he is but thats just my opinion. We have a justice system in this country and we have laws. It is a man made system and men make mistakes, I see it everyday. It is a fact that innocent people have been executed and no one on this board can dispute that. The money it takes to execute people under our system is massive. If one person has been falsely executed that is state sponsored murder pure and simple there is no argument to this. To my conservative friends who argue against government in our lives yet give the government the power to take a life makes no sense. You rail against a raise in taxes on the rich by 3% or complain the social security is not constitutional because the government has no right to tax you in this fashion. But you give this same government the power to end someones life, to me this is far more dangerous than a healthcare bill or a tax increase. It is an interesting dilemma we have in our minds as both liberals and conservatives. As I have stated I have no sympathy for a killer and less for a cop killer. Putting them in solitaire for the rest of their lives or having them do back breaking work with no social interaction to me is a far worse punishment than death. That is just my opinion.

Insideguy, does’nt society have a right, or obligation to protect itself from those who murder?  Sometimes, the best indicator of future behavior is how someone has behaved in the past.  As an officer, you must see some people are not rehabilitatable?

We’re fallible, the documentary The Thin Blue Line sums up the case of Randall Adams, a man who was very nearly wrongly executed quite aptly.  Still, I think there are times we can’t allow a killer the chance to repeat his actions.

Really really fucking crazy.  

Logic is lost on the weak mind.  

wow.. liberal racist tourettes on full display.

Calm down Bull Connor, put down the fire hose.

 I agree that past behavior is an indicator of future behavior in most cases. And you are correct most of them can never be rehabilitated. And my personal desire is to not even bother trying. But sanctioning the government as a killer is not what we as a people or a nation should aspire to. I have been put in many position where I could have taken persons life  but I am expected to use my judgement. If my judgment is wrong even if the guy has just killed someone but has given up then I will go to jail for murder. You the tax payer pay me for this power, but rightfully expect me to use it wisely. If I make a mistake then I pay for it and many officers have. But if the state or the federal government makes a mistake what is their punishment? None. Possibly a civil law suit that will come out of your tax payer money. I have dealt with the worst and there are times where I wish they would be dead. But if I am held to a higher standard and so should our government when it comes to taking a persons life.

NIGGA INNOCENT YO’  !!!

CNN TOLD ME SO  !!!

I find crying over the life of shithead thugs “abhorent”.

I guess one man’s useless shithead is another man’s white guilt sponsor, eh?

You’re a narrowminded simpleton, son. None of us care what race the shithead murdering thug is. Did you see any Conservatives pissing and moaning when the State of FL killed Ted Bundy? No, they celebrated, as well they should. Justice is worthy of celebration.

Maybe FOX is smart enough to know that most Americans aren’t wound up at the news of a cop killer rightly meeting his demise.

Why don’t you pussies ever put your time and energy into defending people who aren’t worthless gutter trash? 

Yes, that’s it. cry all night long because Al Sharpton and the race hustling media whores told whipped your stupid ass into a frenzy and got you to believe the poor innocent black man was innocent. OHHHH LAWWWWWDYYYY DEY DUN’ KILLED ANUDDA WUN OF OW KINFOLK!!!!

Do you ever get tired of being a stereotypical pansy ass liberal?

Yes, they cheered because they thought Zero might capitalize on it. That’s right, their moral standards are weak enough to be completely compromised based on political convenience. In other words, they have no moral foundation other than to serve their political party. They whine about the death penalty, but most of them would kill their political opponents if they could get away with it. Truly disgusting, loathesome creatures.

21st century! Public executions, evangelical TV-channels with “Pay Now” mantras, creationist ‘museums’ popping up all over the country, 83% of population believes the Bible come directly or indirectly from God…

It’s nuances away from Iran or Saudi Arabia…

I’m agnostic and pro-life. Hate the bible almost as much as I hate liberals. Love science and Conservatism. The fact that you think anyone who disagrees with you is a religious person tells me you’re both an idiot and a bigot. That’s a bad combination. Also, really mediaite? This is the type of piece of shit you cater to with your low brow tabloid garbage. If you guys stepped it up a notch, this atheist poser would get bored and run back to gawker with the rest of the parasites.  

Government can’t do anything right — unless it’s sentencing someone to death. Then it’s 100% flawless, right conservatives?

It’d be nice if you guys would at least try to be consistent in your arguments.

Yes, idiot. Are you against the death penalty, or are you only against it when the media has whipped you into a race baiting frenzy, as they often do?

It’s a rather simple question, dingleberry.

I disagree. well, it was mixed. We executed two pieces of shit, who BOTH deserved to die, but we still have one in the whitehouse that needs to be flushed.

another win for the PROLIFERS..
praise the lord Jesus–
he was executed by the mob too right?
the hypocrites and charlatans got a big kick out of that execution too right?

PRAISE JESUS…
hypocrites~

kill them all and let god sort them out!!

praise jesus..
now can we go back to bombing muslim mothers and babies please?

hypocrites~

First of all it wasnt shell casings they found ithey did balistics on the bullet not the casings

wonder how many of the folks cheering this on, despite the huge questions as to his guilt, call themselves ‘pro-life?’

I am 40 years old and have been against the death penalty since I was a kid.

Not me. I never cheered. I totally disagree how that was carried out. Bin Laden if at all possible should have been captured alive and tried by an international court.

President Obama was wrong on this one. I do not always agree with him.

This Liberal did not cheer.

He should have been captured alive. Many others on the left agree with me.

The death penalty is always wrong. It is state sanctioned murder, no matter who is being executed.

I do question Troy Davis’ guilt as well.

Flagrant Strawman argument.

Not worth commenting. You probably have no clue regarding my opinion on Abortion.

The death penalty is wrong. It is murder by the state. Always.

You dumb Bastard, the information on this case has been available to anyone with interest for years.  So Georgia Kills this man and you FUCKS are well pleased, well his last words to the Family of the Police man that was killed was of HIS FUCKING INNOCENCE.  Tonight the real Killer of that Police officer may be roaming the streets of your city you dumb Bastard…..How was justice served??????

I am about as pro-death penalty as you can get, but this case really stunk. If it is unequivocal that he was guilty of being a cop killer, juice him. The problem is, 90% of the witnesses recanted their stories and the guy that was with him admitted to other people he pulled the trigger. I think they should have stayed the decision and let him locked up until they sorted it out. I think there was a miscarriage of justice in this particular case.

Actually it clears up any confusion..

Justice was served in the State of Georgia. Buh-byeee, boy troy.

If that was a black Officer shot by a white man then this probably would never be open to the public!

Not familiar with this case-did Troy Davis have a criminal record?

A black Officer is killed but knows justice isn’t in the killing of another person! You all still suffering even MORE now!!

If there are REALLY actual so called witnesses then they should feel like a piece of sh!t right about now! And Mark’s mother is pure EVIL!

Gee, where is all the sanctimonious sniveling about the execution of poor Lawrence Russell (Little Russ) Brewer out in Texas? Where were Alec Baldwin, Kim Kardashian & Jimmy Carter when he was put to death, Hmmmmm?  You know, in cruel, barbaric, atavistic fashion? “Fashion”: that word should get Kim’s attention.

This “Choirboy” was involved in a crime with another idiot that the policeman
tried to stop. The policeman was shot an killed! I don’t care witch one shot him.
It is just too damn bad both of them were not convicted at the same time
and executed at the same time. They could have hooked their asses up in tandem!
Get over it! The case was looked at by the different courts about 20 times.
 They concluded his ass was “GUILTY”.
Quite frankley, I think if you are convicted of murder, you should get one appeal to
review the case and then, as Al Shopton would say, git yo ass motched down to de chamba!!
End of story.
Now you guys can get back to trashing Sarah Palin!!

Conservatives are against too much government controlling their lives, not against government itself.

It would be naive to think that everyone who supports capital punishment are conservatives. I’m curious to see how you would conclude that all of the slain victums family, friends and coworkers are ‘bad’ because they wanted to see justice carried out to its designated conclusion. Mr. Davis was afforded all legal avenues to change the course he was on, and they all failed to convince those in power to stop his execution.

So you can rail to the high heavens about conservatives this and conservatives that, but I don’t think this is a conservative versus a liberal issue. Some bloggers, who have no real insight to the case at all (myself included), believed Davis guilty, some believed Davis innocent. Period.

You are entitled to your opinion/position as others are entitled to theirs. Why do you libs get so upset when someone else’s opinion doesn’t jive with yours?

Our judicial system includes capital punishment. It is what it is. All you web detectives are entitled to question someone else’s guilt or innocence. But you are just that, a “Web Detective”.

The state withdrew the ballistic evidence on the grounds that it wasn’t actually evidence and should never have been considered as such. I think it’s shameful that a man’s life has become a petty left versus right squabble on this site. You’re all fucking idiots.

Can you backup your statement with facts that “There have been innocents executed”?

And what punishment would you apply to a murderer in prison (without parole) who kills again? Another life sentence?

Countries
who carried out more than 25 executions in 2010: China (2000+), Iran
(252+), North Korea (60+), Saudi Arabia (27+), USA (46+), Yemen (53+).

You say “To my conservative friends who argue against government in our lives”…

You sound like Obama, railing against a strawman. Conservatives are NOT against government in our lives, rather against too much, ever-intruding government in our lives. But the truth tends to get in your way.

Yeah they missed a golden opportunity to execute two black men. Georgia should be feeling very silly this morning.

Yeah they missed a golden opportunity to execute two black men. Georgia should be feeling very silly this morning.

Another false premise by you libs…. conservatives are against taking any “innocent” person’s life. But you libs can’t seem to accept the fact that society had found those receiving capital punishment “GUILTY”. There is no contradiction there.

You need to learn how to shape your argument or position on this matter, and stop trying to moralize on which “person” is worse.

ahhhh, the gospel according to n8d pmc…. did the 9 get together and say “let’s say Troy did it”? …seems like a lot of you posters have NEW evidence on this case… maybe you all should have went to Georgia and presented it at court.

You can’t accept the fact that Davis was found guilty and that guilt was reaffirmed throughout the appeals process. Subsequently, the guilty recieved his punishment. It IS about guilt and innocence.

Troy Davis wouldn´t be the first innocent man who was killed by legalized murder.

We know that Cons get applause when they don´t have sleepless nights over it.

What Cons call justice, is nothing else but revenge. It´s worth to note the total disdain of many cons for their own holy scripture and Jesus and all that.

In the end, the capital punishment doesn´t serve any other purpose but to satisfy the thirst for blood. 

And if a million guilty criminals would be executed, the one wrongfully executed human being, who will always exist,  proves that seeking justice by committing a crime will never make any sense. And how about the fair tale of capital punishment as effective deterrent? Never was, never will be.

Oh it deters and punishes… Ever see a criminal commit another crime after being executed (capitally punished)?

But let’s take your argument that it doesn’t deter. Does any form of punishment “deter” criminal behavior?  Should we scrap our system because criminals keep commiting similar or same crimes over and over, even after we “penalized” those caught?

Should we not punish drug dealers, pedophiles, murderers, because the last ones caught & punished did not deter others from commiting the same crimes?

As they say, if you can’t stand the time (punishment), don’t do the crime.

agree…

You’re right.  He’s not the first, nor the last.  Liberals rejoice over the murder of millions upon millions of innocent children every year.  They promote their institution of murder (PP) all over this great country, but mostly in minority neighborhoods.

blah, blah, blah… why pick on capital punishment? Do you know of ANY punishment that is an “effective deterrent”? If not, should we eliminate all those forms of punishment as well? and how do you know that executing ‘person A’ did not deter ‘person B’ from doing the same thing in the same situation? It’s a meritless argument you libs have.

I know that “I” have been “deterred” from shooting at cops!

Why do the lefty losers hate the U.S. justice system?  They constantly whine that the system is flawed, that those found innocent are really guilty (O.J., Casey Anthony) and that those found guilty are really innocent (Troy Davis).

But then, ironically, these same lefty losers want the government to bring terrorists to the U.S. for trial.  Sheer idiocy by sheer idiots.

That’s some incoherence. What happened was 
What happened was this:Davis and a friend of named Darrell Collins were at a party at this home at another location. They left the party, got into a car, and then another car pulled up beside the car Davis and Collins were in, and then loud swearing was shouted at Davis and Collins out of that other car – at which point someone in the Davis-Collins car fired a shot towards the other car. A man named Cooper was hit in the face with a bullet and the Davis-Collins car drove off.Later on that same evening, a man named Redd Coles got into an altercation with another man named Larry Young,  a homeless man. It was that altercation, at least at some stage, which caught the attention of the security guard McPhail, who came over to it, to check it out or to ask them to move on or to stop it, who knows; what is known is that at some point someone started laying a pistol whipping on Young. Anyway, when McPhail came up to that scene, he was shot twice (and later died), and Coles, Davis and Collins all took off from the scene.The bullets in McPhail were tied into some bullet casings a homeless man found at the scene, which showed the bullets could have been fired from a .38.Witnesses said the person who was pistol whipping Young was the person who shot McPhail, and that person was wearing a white shirt. No one actually identified Davis as the shooter at either scene. Davis was a stranger to all the witnesses called by the prosecution at the Burger King incident except Coles, and no one was able to point to him as the man in the white shirt who did the beating and the shooting.Still later that same night, Coles went to a police station and reported that he had seen Davis with a .38 and that he saw Davis assaulting some man he did not know.The forensics evidence was of no real use in determining the shooter. The analyst testified that he could NOT be sure that the same gun that shot Cooper also shot McPhail, just that it could have been. No gun was ever recovered.The identification of the shooter in each case depended on live witnesses:- Collins, Cooper and a man named Gordon from the first scene;- Coles, Young, a man named Williams, and two women, one named Ferrell, the other named Murray, from the Burger King scene;- and two men who each claimed Davis confessed to them: a neighbor named Sapp and a convict named McQueen.Some of those 10, 7 in all from the total witness, have recanted, in whole or in some important part: - Collins from the first scene;- Young, Williams and Ferrell from the Burger King scene;- and McQueen.Cooper said he knew Davis and saw him, but that he doubted Davis had any reason to shoot him, and besides was too drunk to see who it was.  Gordon was at the first shooting scene, and did not know Davis or see the shooting, but said he remembered seeing someone who looked like Davis, wearing a white T-shirt.Collins at first told the police he had seen Davis shoot Cooper, but denied being at the Burger King scene. Then he recanted before trial and at trial and said he didn’t see Davis with a gun and didn’t see who shot Cooper.Coles admitted he got into an argument with Young, but that it was Davis who hit Young with a pistol and that he Coles took off before any shots were fired.Williams, Ferrell and Murray each testified to seeing 3 important things about Davis: that he was wearing a white shirt, that he struck Young, and that he then shot MacPhail.Davis himself said he did not shoot Cooper (which leaves Collins), and that he and Coles met up at a pool hall before they went on to the Burger King parking lot, where he witnessed Coles in a fight with Young over beer, but that he Davis took off from the scene before any shots were fired.You can see problems right off the bat: only 4 witnesses, not 9 as many press reports claim, and one of those 4 is Coles, who is himself a suspect. And it get worse, because it turns out Coles ALSO had a .38 that night – which is maybe how he was able to call what he claims Davis had a .38 – which he mysteriously was “given” earlier than same night by … some other guy the police never found.So the prosecution is left with the man Gordon (who did not know Davis, but id’d him for wearing a white T, Coles (the other suspect), the woman Murray (who only id’d Davis for wearing a white T), and the neighbor Sapp.Since the trial, 3 witnesses have come forward in affidavits that say Coles confessed to the McPhail shooting to each of them.I would say it’s entirely possible that Davis did shoot McPhail – but I sure wouldn’t bet my life on it, nor would I bet anyone else’s life, including Davis’. Even that white T wouldn’t be enough to convict; the key to that would have to be the confession to Sapp, whether I believed it or not – and even then, since it comes down to depending on the word of one person I don’t know, there’s no way I’d want to see the accused executed based on the evidence of one person who may be lying or got some key part of it wrong.It looks like what happened was that a white jury got over-excited by the fact that the guard happened to be a white off-duty cop. This looks very much like Davis had crappy legal representation at trial. 

I had a pastor that once said “Life is hard…death’s a breeze.  You ever hear anyone come back to complain about it?”

I’m not saying we should scrap it…it does a great job of getting the criminals off the street….with the exception of those parolees who are repeat offenders and cause more problems.  I’m really not sure what the answer is. But like in the first time DUI offender example I gave, I can see how that might keep people from doing that again.  Of course, DUI vs. cold blooded murder…apples and oranges.

no…you are….this case has been HYPER SPUN in the media recently………and both sides of the debate have never been covered properly…..and you may agree to this……every court in the land who heard his appeal is an effin Idiot too…..including ALL 9 Supreme court justices …..the most recent appointees also…. There was no dissent on this motion…..they all agreed to let the execution proceed

Will it make you feel better for me to say…so you can know weather or not you should start a flame war on me?

Re-read the comment I responded to….I’m sure that the death penalty gives many people the breath of air they’ve needed for many years.  It kills me, though, that some have to wait so long for it while others don’t.  But, of course, I also think about those who have lost someone and rationalize that executing the convicted killer of their spouse, dad, child or uncle, doesn’t bring that loved one back. It’s not not like scraping your knee or getting 3 stitches and mom buying you a dipped cone afterwords.  Doesn’t seem like it makes the pain go away.

Hey, if you want to look for an excuse to bash on me..I can give you one…just let me know what sets you off and I’ll go to town.  Otherwise, save it..I’m sure there’s plenty of other issues to get vexed about.

Do liberals believe in a selective death penalty.  Are they totally for it or totally against it no matter what the crime is?  Which is it?

Are you for real? It might not have been him, and the totally flawed case shows this.

Yeah but then 7 witnesses later came forward and said they were pressured into saying it was Troy Davis. One of the witnesses was the one who might have actually did it.

So the stuff on the internet about 7 witnesses coming forward to say they were pressured into saying it was Troy Davis isn’t true? It’s fact you idiot.

He might not have killed a cop either.

Facts? Really? Show me them then?

That’s why i’m not pro-death penalty, because stuff like this will always happen, and just because cases like this are rare doesn’t make things ok. Anyway I know that if I had commited a serious crime and was convicted, I would personally prefer the death penalty than life in prison. In prison you suffer for the rest of your life. If you die, you’ve escaped the mental torture, the shit you get in jail, and the guilt you feel (well maybe not everybody for the guilt). It’s an easy way out. If someone killed one of my family, I’d want them to rot for a lifetime, I’d visit them, and mess with their heads. I wouldn’t want them to escape what they’d done by being executed.

So a flawed case is a better reason?

You again with your obsession over abortions! Nobody rejoices over abortions. I know it´s hard for you to face reality, you should try sometimes at least. Maybe find even a woman or two to tell you about their “joyful experience”.

Yeah, ‘if’ is the word, especially in Troy Davis’s case.

Blah, blah, blah.  Simple solution; don’t have one.  Abortions aren’t meant to be a birth control device, as goofy libs seem to think.

 Here’s a list of the 38 nations that still hold the death penalty: http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_exe-crime-executions 

The USA rank 7th. Needless to say they’re pretty good at killing people.

Why don´t start earlier? Getting raped? Simple solution, don´t get raped.

Just out of curiosity, are you such an animal that you would like to force your daughter, sister or mother to carry the child of a rapist?

I know, I know, it´s such a joy for women when it comes to abortions…

The white guy was guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.  The black guy “not so much”.

I just don’t understand the peace a family says they get when the person is put to death.  It is not that the dead victim comes back to life.  So what is the point. 

Well that would be you that is always at the start of the civil war.  Think about your role in that war.

What exactly is your point? Are you arguing against the capital punishment without noticing it?

I just pointed out a flawed argument made more than once for it.

I don’t think that is the case with Davis.  Sounds to me that there was some reasonable doubt there. 

You may want to do a little research on what percentage of the millions of abortions are the result of rape or incest.  That tired liberal argument is flawed.

People that are against the death penalty for one would also be against the death penalty for the one in Texas. 

If the evidence he was innocent was so overwhelming, why on Earth wouldn’t the Supreme Court grant a stay? Is Sotomayor a closet bloodthirsty conservative?

Wow, so many tasty bits to chew on..where do i start?

Am I against the death penalty? It’s easy for those of use who’ve never been through a situation which would warrant (under the laws of the land) the death penalty…to spout out weather or not we’re for or against it.  So for me to say I’m against it when I’ve never lost a loved one to someone like McVeigh, Bundy or Troy Davis is unfair.  I’ve never felt that pain. If I did, yeah I’d likely back it 100%.  Now that you’ve got this “gotcha” mentality going, ask me how I feel about abortion.

The white guy deserved it?  I’m not saying that..in fact I never said that. Re-read what I was responding too and as him.

“Lawrence Russell Brewer was executed also.Funny you don’t (hear) the left SHEADING tears over his murder. ”

First off, I can already tell the mentality of this guy: it’s okay to execute a black man…but Brewer’s execution….err…”murder” should be getting fair coverage too.  Okay, covet the coverage, if you like. Seems like a stupid thing to complain about. That’s what I addressed.  That’s what I stand by. If Brewer was black and did the same thing..then we’d not have this discussion.

And didn’t his mother testify that he was at home that night, even though he said he witnessed the argument with the homeless guy?

Nah na na na. Nah na na nah. Hey Hey. Goodbye.

One man’s black thug is another man’s (read liberal’s) outlet for deeply internalized white guilt. Come on libs, let it go. He was a criminally psychotic monster who murdered a cop and beat a homeless man. It’s a good day for America when justice is served. Innocent? Cry me a river.

read your own post, skippy — more than just a “flawed argument” you gave — sterotyping , as well as unfounded accusations included

fair enough…

Awww…Jason…it hurts my feelings when you call me names like that.  Really.

I find it humorous that people feel the need to covet the “struggle” of others…or in this case, the coverage.  Same thing all those Michael Vick fans did when he was going to trial for his thing.  “oh but what about all those poor kids that are beaten…nobody cares about them!!”  It’s dog-whistle bulls**t!  I addressed it appropriately.  If it was a ted bundy clone, I’d have said “you mean the guy that killed 30 + college girls, mutilated their bodies and showered with their entrails?”. 

Call it race baiting if you want, that’s fair.  I can see where you might pull that.  I just think that the initial comment was just dumb…so, rhetoric was greeted with rhetoric.

If it’s fact it’s not hyperbole.  Nice attempt at name manipulation average republican, white man.

Oh come on now….we’re talking about a network that broke away from the the president making a memorial day speech for  a Fox News Alert about:  the FDA changing the food pyramid.  Work with me…it’s important enough to break away from mid-day news topics for a scandal such as food pyramid, but no breaking away from O’Reilly even to cover it for 2 minutes….no ticker…nothing. 

facts:
Davis Admits to being at the crime scene…but he says he left before the shooting
Yet his mom says he was at home all day….and only left at 9pm to go to Atlanta with his sister
?????????
Fact:
In his 2010 appeal…his defense attorney….tried to implicate Redd Coles for the murder..yet made Feeble attempts to produce him..only subpeoning him 1 DAY BEFORE THE DEFENSE HEARING…..was this lawyer……like all his other’s.incompetant also?

Google Redd Coles,  Michael Cooper and Troy Davis Together:

Like it or not……E­­VERY APPEAL Mr. Davis filed was Denied.Thi­­s is how our Justice system
works…..­­…people will always cherry pick out informatio­­n to suit thier cause…..­­but if you do
some research..­­…you’ll find that most media sites have been highly biased….­­.and most of the informatio­­n comes up when you google the 3 names above…is not know by most of the commentors on this
site…..AS ALWAYS..th­­ere are 2 sides to every story..But the Media has been Highly Biased when presenting this story…..­­.if you read most accounts..­­..it seems like there was no evidence at all against Mr. Davis…..­­..which is far from the case.

what about his last appeal to the supreme court…….they voted 9-0 to let this execution proceed….why was there no dissent?…..even from the liberal Justices?

Hi own words before during a 2008 interview

“I was a good student and I believe a nice person, and a spiritual person, but I made a few bad choices, hanging with the wrong crowd to try and fit in as I was shy. I thought it was cool, but those very friends let me down and I’m in jail because of them. I decided to come out of my sadness and to dedicate the time spent in prison to try and help encourage other kids to stay away from the wrong crowd, make better decisions, always listen to their parents and stay in school. Education is the key to everything. The one thing that man cannot take away from you is your knowledge. I want people to not only learn from my experience but try to make the world better.”

It sounds like he was obviously there, if he was coached to pull the trigger or simply covering with his life for the trigger man, who knows. He was no saint and admits to hanging with the wrong crowd. He payed a big price in either case.

The judge and jury said otherwise.

CNN and the rest of the bleeding heart left are hypocrites, they are not totally against the death penalty, if they were they would complain about it every time someone was put to death no matter what the circumstances. When James Byrd’s murderer Lawrence Brewer was put to death on Wednesday CNN didn’t say a word against it nor did Anderson Cooper have long discussions about it on AC360 so I guess the death penalty is acceptable to them as long as the criminal is white..

In my opinion, both Davis and Brewer got what they deserved.   

The evidence of his guilt has mysteriously been overlooked. Please, share those facts with us!

Malcolm X, a dupe used by Black Muslims until, he actually did his own homework, and when they realized he was pulling the plug on the race-baiting Black Muslim thugs, they killed him.

No, no, let them pigeonhole themselves. Let them marginalize themselves. Let them wallow in their own racist misery, their too ignorant to know any better, and their’s no reason we should care.

DEAD AT LAST!!!
Adios, Sayonara, Au voir, Auf Wiedersehen, Ciao, Aloha, Good Bye.‏…and GOOD RIDDANCE!!!
 

Oh, I’m sorry. I just assumed that having the government come along and actually kill people counted as “too much government controlling their lives.”

My fault for using logic and understanding the English language, I guess.

Obama did’nt think it was appropriate to get involved, yet he had no problem getting involved with his “The Cops Acted Stupidly” case. Did he learn his lesson then or he only got involved because the professor was a friend of his?

No fair using facts!

why did you state your response that way. “ opportunity to execute two black men”. It should just be 2 men. Why is it that race always seems to be the root of all things does? When the day is through he is still just a man. Who cares what color he was? Just don’t understand it I guess.

I do not think it is peace they feel but closure. They don’t have to worry about going to court any more, or having to repeat the story over and over. The sentence was carried out and now everyone involved can go to bed and wake up in the morning knowing that its finally over.

No, sheer idiocy is doing the same thing over and over and never noticing that it doesn’t actually work.

Think about it; up here in Wisconsin, we don’t have capital punishment. Compare that with a state like Texas that does. If CP actually DID anything, Wisconsin would be a hotbed of violent crime and Texas would be a peaceful state. Yet the opposite is true.

In fact, the fact that Texas routinely sets records for executions proves that it just doesn’t work. If it did, they’d set the record exactly once, then the numbers would start going down. Instead, they wind up killing dozens of people year after year for terrible crimes. At this point, you get to stop calling it “justice” and start calling it “human sacrifice,” because it works about as well as tossing virgins into a volcano.

To look at that record and say, “Yay for the death penalty” not only defies the simplest of logic, but it may very well be a sign of plain stupidity.

He was “dithering” the situation as the murderer was being executed….just like he was “dithering” whether to send more troops to Afghanistan as soldiers were being killed….and “dithering” the Gulf oil spill while it was destroying life and folks were losing their livelihoods on the coast.

Top Ten Reasons Why Abortion is Wrong

http://marcusfryman.blogspot.com/2009/02/10-reasons-why-abortion-is-wrong.html
 

Capital Punishment is a “punishment” for a crime previously committed. There is no such thing as a ‘crime deterrent’, they all have repeats (new criminal, same crime) and copycats, whether a criminal before them gets 5 years, life or death.But NEVER has a criminal committed another crime after receiving their capital “punishment” (recidivism = 0).

If you want to use logic, which is typically dangerous for a lib to do, you would see that a govt “killing” a murderer has nothing to do with controlling MY life, other than maybe saving me from being a victim of that same murderer.

I see that a lot of the lib commenters who railed against the death penalty yesterday have moved on. I guess we’ll see them when the next state execution comes near (unless its a ‘Lawrence Brewer’ type of case, where you wont get a peep outta them).

He gets the death penalty, but Casey Anthony walks away? 

stupid judicial system.

RANDOM? I’m just going to chalk this one up to ignorance.

Im against it. Period.  It’s not a deterrent…and it’s not needed to maintain an orderly, safe society….isn’t that the whole point of a justice system in the first place?

Lesson learned from the beer summit?

Again, if the recidivism rate was important, Wisconsin would be knee-deep in murderers. By admitting that CP doesn’t actually DO anything, you’re backing up my argument that it’s nothing more than human sacrifice.

You’re not exceptionally blessed with cognitive abilities, are you?

Yeah, because the govt. coming in and killing you is just the right amount of govt. intrusion in our lives, right?

Of course he was innocent.  Prison is full of innocent people~ Just ask anyone in prison!!!  They will tell you they are innocent :-) 

 There fucktards!!!  Liberal douchebags!!!

Classy ~ Yes we just want to off a N****R douchbag.  Think before you type loser!

they are the “Enlightened Ones”  ~ though personally I call them Libtard Fuckwads

Just like Libs to defend the scum of the earth.  They do like protecting those dirty Muslims as well.  They have a very high tolerence of innapropriate behaviour 

It is strange a white dude (same week) was also legally executed and NOT ONE CRY OF RACISM!!!  I guess you must be one of the 90% racists blacks who voted for Dictator BO based on the color of his skin not the content of his charatert. Hows that hopy changy thing working for you?

Intelligent people black and white are sick of your racism!

Is that you Obama..?

Am I too late to say that   TROY DAVIS’ CONDITION REMAINS THE SAME.
