A very succinct opinion on the immorality of the U.S. judicial system:

is it a wonder this case has gone global...
Troy Davis may be dead, but his execution Thursday in the American state of Georgia has made him the poster boy for the global movement to end the death penalty.
World figures, including Pope Benedict XVI and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, human groups and commentators urged the execution to be halted -- but to no avail. On Wednesday Davis was put to death by lethal injection for the 1989 killing of off-duty police officer Mark MacPhail despite doubts being raised over the conviction.
The execution sparked angry reactions and protests in European capitals -- as well as outrage on social media. "We strongly deplore that the numerous appeals for clemency were not heeded," the French foreign ministry said.
"There are still serious doubts about his guilt," said Germany's junior minister for human rights Markus Loening. "An execution is irreversible -- a judicial error can never be repaired."- Eye for an Eye! I'm not sure which scripture Pope Benedict XVI is reading or rather forgot.popfodders

Moot!That makes no sense ukit, he WAS convicted in a state that does hand out death sentences. He should have thought about that before he started shooting the cop. He had already dodged another shooting conviction it appears.
All this BS about the jury being threatened by cops, yeahhhhhh right, what a crock of crap. More liberal BS being shoved down your throat, keep drinking that blue kool-aid though, stay strong.
Let's face it, the guy was a complete scumbag who had a history of being a complete fuck-up inh the first place. It made it even easier on the jury to convict his dumb ass. Stop looking at the nerdy glasses and gentle facial features and the fact that he, according to the liberal media, is a black man under persecution. All of the evidence points towards this asshole.
*cough
- you didnt get it, I mentioned that this argument might not be valid in this case, I dont know. And ukit did not refer to that case either in his last postd_gitale
- his last postd_gitale
- he did it, he's dead, done.popfodders
- do you actually read the posts you are answering to ?d_gitale
- No cause he is a giant illiterate cunt.Ramanisky2

On August 28, 1991, the jury, composed of seven blacks and five whites, took under two hours to find Davis guilty on one count of murder and the other offenses.
- Based on testimony from eyewitnesses, three-quarters of whom recantedlocustsloth
- easy to recant now, they had their shot, too bad it doesn't work that way.popfodders

He may be a scumbag - you don't know and it isn't relevant. He didn't dodge another shooting conviction, he wasn't convicted of it. Of this crime, you can't cry "he was convicted - end of story" and then say that he should have been convicted of another crime that he wasn't. You've had a cursory glance at the details of the case and decided he's guilty. Witnesses involved in the case have suggested that he isn't. He may well be, but some people find it difficult to justify execution if there is the slightest doubt. It's not an unreasonable position to take.
Regarding intimidation by police to pinch this guy - why is it so unfathomable that it might have happened? Police like getting results. They don't like unsolved murders. They had a suspicion that this guy might have been involved in a previous incident. They might have had reason to believe that he was a scumbag. The people involved in the trial clearly aren't the most reliable or they wouldn't have changed their stories. Given the choice of saying 'it was this guy' - or having their lives temporarily fucked up, who's to say they didn't pick him for the sake of an easier life? To most sane people it's worth finding out, regardless of opinion on the death penalty.
- what is it you think they did to intimidate the witnesses and / or jury?popfodders
- what's your suggestion for a better system to use then? protocol is protocol.popfodders
- would you feel the same way if he had murdered your brother or friend? Now would you..?popfodders
- if you're so buff on legal knowledge pop, you would know that hypotheticals don't exist in law.doesnotexist
- hey popfodders, the U.S. judicial system does not exist for one's personal revenge.randommail
- if your brother is murdered, convict the actual criminal, and then serve justice. Not revenge.randommail
- Seek harmony and progress in society, not simply retribution.randommail
- would you feel the same if Troy Davis was your bother? People are changing their stories? Fuck it, kill him anyway.Fax_Benson
- sorry bro, protocol is protocol.Fax_Benson
- that's the most ignorant statement i've seen on here. protocol is protocol if you're in a dictatorship. this is a democracy...doesnotexist
- democracy therefore people can change things based, for one, seeing the justice system is maybe wrong in killing people.doesnotexist
- Supreme Court took a look at it, realized there was no need to interject. Case closed, literally.popfodders

i think it's important to not the proverb that keeps being passed around in its entirety is:
an eye for an eye makes the whole world blind
i don't think anyone has the right to take another's life even though they may have done so. two wrong's don't make a right. i feel we could come to a better solution without more killing. perhaps by excluding them from society, kind of like in judge dredd where they're thrown out of the city -- NOT how they were judge/jury/executioner. although that's pretty sweet for the movies.

Wow. I just heard about this yesterday. Shameful state your country is in, executing people.
*adds Georgia to the list of places to never, ever, visit*
- amazing how you group everyone in Georgia with loving executions. Hilarious...popfodders
- Did no such thing, but don't let that stop you.i_monk
- Executions are necessary. And BTW noone lives in Canada by choice.CygnusZero4

- No one lives in Canada by choice? Shit, these types of threads really bring out the intellectuals.ETM

This whole thing doesnt seem to have a lot to do with whether he really did it or not. It just comes down to whether the death pentalty is right or wrong, thats all it is. Witnesses said he did it, I dont give it a shit if they feel like changing their minds later, trial is over assholes. You already sentenced him to death. Case closed. The guy was a known criminal, and had already fucking shot someone before this! He wasnt some upstanding citizen, he was already a scumbag before this happened.
If a bunch of people put him at the scene, I have no problems with putting him to death. All this bullshit about them being forced to say they saw this guy there, uh, what the fuck would force them to say that if they really didn't? Common sense here. These were innocent civilians that came forward as witnesses in the first fucking place. What were the cops going to buttrape them if they didnt say they saw this guy? Come on now.
It just comes down to a bunch of whining bitches crying about the death penalty yet again. You want to go kill a cop, well you dont get to sit in prison with your TV, magazines, library, gym and other fine activities, sorry. Big fan of the death penalty.
- that's just, like, your opinion, man. And it's a fucking horrible one. Still, popfodders agrees with you..Fax_Benson
- WWJD?duck3
- I agree with him, because he's fucking right, use your fucking brain, not your heart.popfodders
- CygnusZero40
Uh. if a bunch of witnesses who have never met each other finger him as the guy that did it, and he is found guilty, then sorry, time to die asshole.
You can't just change your mind later and say, "Oh shit, they are going to kill him? Wait, I'm not sure it was him now."
Sorry, it was the right thing to execute this guy. Too many people put him at the scene. You don't get to just recant that later. Trial is over idiots.
- There have been affidavits filed that say the police pressured the witnesses to point the finger at Troy Davis.WrappedInBooks
- Oh so you're saying there is actual hard evidence of that happening?CygnusZero4
- it would be just as "hard" as their original storiesTheMagicSheep
- yes all of them had said this throughout the years.Ramanisky2
- that's their fault, should have been smarter at the trial.popfodders
- Ramanisky20
Abolish the death penalty ffs .. End of thread!!!
RIP Troy Davis
- CygnusZero40
So when a dude shoots a cop across the street from a burger king and some people see this happen and say it was him, there is reason to believe it's not him? Interesting.
Oh yeah, and....
"ballistic evidence presented at trial linked bullets recovered at or near the scene to those at another shooting in which Davis was also charged"Yeah, this guy sounds real innocent to me.
Dont tell me this guy was a innocent.
- Justtice was done. Cry all you want about it now.CygnusZero4
- indeedpopfodders
- Ramanisky20
Another man confessed. Seven eyewitnesses recanted. Police accused of coercing witnesses. No DNA. No murder weapon. Justice?
- You cant fucking recant after the trial is over!! You already said under oath he did it. End of story. Insert death syrum.CygnusZero4
- yes you can assdick!!Ramanisky2
- No you can't you fucking idiot Ramisnky, it's protocol, a system, too hard for you to understand eh?popfodders
- No, you cannot. He is dead today for a good reason, because you dont get to change your mind, genius.CygnusZero4
- It apparently is too hard for himto understand. The idea of a justice system eludes him.CygnusZero4
- popfodders0
^Yes, I completely agree. I don't fucking get it at all, all this evidence points toward Davis and he was convicted by a large margin.
And as for you hypocrites crying foul about the death penalty in the USA, specifically Texas, I don't see you crying about this guy: http://articles.cnn.com/2011-09-…
I suppose "justice was served" here. But please, feel free to explain to me how one case is different from the other. Fucking BS!
- ^^ I meantpopfodders
- one is different from the other because it is different from the other. Fucking hellrod.Fax_Benson
- An innocent man was killed in both cases. Maybe you werent aware of that.CygnusZero4
- That's the similarity. Well spotted. What about the differences?Fax_Benson
- They're the things that make one thing not the same as another thing.Fax_Benson
- There is none. Men were convicted in both cases.CygnusZero4
- omg you're a giant HemorrhoidRamanisky2
- no, I am bringing up the point of all you fucking crybabies over the death penalty. Eye for an eye.popfodders
- I was referring to the ultimate death penalty dealt out. I'm pretty sure everyone at QBN is happy that guy got the chairpopfodders
- No. I'll take him living and no death penalty any day. You're not allowed to premeditatively kill people who are no immediate...mikotondria3
- ..threat to yours or someone else's life. Strapping someone down and injecting them with poison to kill them IS MURDER.mikotondria3
- And as such, according to your viewpoint, the executioners should also be killed, etc etc etc until there's just me left.
Tough titties for you lot.mikotondria3 - I think Popfodder you are WAY in the minority on QBN...babaganush

You can’t eat your cake and have it too. That BS about cops threatening witness is a bunch of, after the fact, crap. Seriously, it is absolutely a bunch of people crying about it. Use your fucking head, not your heart. As far as that guy above, Samuel Crowe, goes he deserves the same thing, there needn't be a hypocrisy behind the rule. Maybe killing a cop looks a lot worse, but it's still the same concept. Eye for an eye.
Plus, the state of Georgia would never spend the money on retrying the guy. Talk about a waste of money. Evidence is evidence. There, call me what you will.
- Supreme Court took a look at it, realized the guy was guilty and said "No Fucking Way!"popfodders
