Commuting the sentence of Charles Burton is not a hard call to make

There is no one—aside from a few morbid freaks—who wants to see Charles Burton put to death at the hands of the state.

Gov. Ivey: Please Grant Clemency to Charles "Sonny" Burton Who Faces Execution Despite Not Having Killed Anyone The State of Alabama wants to execute Charles "Sonny" Burton for capital murder. But Sonny never killed anyone. The identity of the shooter, Derrick DeBruce, was never in dispute. However, Alabama al...

Charles "Sonny" Burton killed no one. Alabama plans to suffocate him anyway. Jurors, the victim's daughter and Burton's family believe his life should be spared. The state thinks otherwise.

Disgusting! 👇

He Was Convicted Entirely On Clashing Eyewitness Testimony. Alabama Plans to Execute Him Next Week. No physical evidence connected Anthony Boyd to a 1993 murder. He was sent to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under the threat of capital punishment.

Anthony Boyd went to death row on the word of a co-defendant who testified under threat of capital punishment. Boyd, who maintained his innocence, was executed by nitrogen gas this fall.

This is an execution, without trial or sentence. What a disgrace.

Jüngst wurde mir geraten, in meinen Vorlesungen doch Hoffnung & Perspektive zu vermitteln. Gerade künftige Absolventen würden ja mal gebraucht. Aber ich kann das nicht sagen. Nicht mehr. Meine ehrlichsten drei Minuten dazu gab's voriges Semester. Da nun lange Videos gehen, poste ich es hier nochmal.

The horrors are not aberrations. This is the Trump administration's plan. This is their plan. But the plan is just that — a plan. It can and must be stopped.

It’s important to understand that this is the Trump administration’s plan.

They are not outliers, exceptions, or aberrations.

This is their plan.

In theory this nightmare could end today:

In den USA werden Gesetze missachtet, Menschen werden ohne Prozess in Lager abgeschoben. In Russland wird offen im Fernsehen über die Eroberung Europas gesprochen. Redet darüber. Macht das allen klar. Es soll zumindest dann niemand sagen können, man habe von nichts gewusst.

This past week, 4 people were executed in the following states: Oklahoma, Arizona, Florida and Louisiana, making this one of the most fatal weeks of the year for people on death row.

No one should be killed by the state. The time to end the racist, unjust, and cruel death penalty is NOW.

Putin made Trump wait almost two hours. Their phone call was supposed to have taken place already, but Putin was still at a conference. When Putin is reminded of the meeting, everyone starts laughing; they're literally mocking Trump.
