Sometimes it just feels like Americans are freaking savages. Abolish capital punishment.
Murderers.
Regardless of his guilt, the death penalty should only be levied when there is no other viable option. This is a travesty.
What other options would have made him less black? Let’s be honest, this was because he’s black.
Dipping him in bleach
Painting him…any color you want
Wrapping him in tin foil
Idk, plenty of ways to make him less black. But that’s not really what they were trying to do. They were trying to kill this guy for something or other.
And nothing was solved.
The death penalty is just a system of torture and bloody minded vengeance. This dude was innocent and it didn’t matter at all. Anyone that argues in favor of this type of shit is a broken minded psycho that should be shunned.
How do you know he was innocent? Not trying argue, just wondering.
“Owens was convicted of the 1997 killing of a Greenville convenience store clerk during a robbery. While on trial, Owens killed a person incarcerated at a county jail. His confession to that attack was read to two different juries and a judge who all sentenced him to death.”
