  1. “Killing someone is a sin.” – Evangelicals
    “We support the death penalty.” – also Evangelicals
    🤔

    1. What about the abortion. They care more about the unborn rather than the living.

    2. The right believe in the heaven of America where the bank of heaven will take their money. The white english speaking souls greeting them at the gate. How do they miss the true meaning of their purpose boggles the mind.

    3. Evangelicals support all forms of corruption but they don’t support a woman’s right to do what she deems appropriate with her own body. Imagine men making that choice. Talking about Ancient.

  2. MLK III called it. Killing an innocent man is a lynching. I just hope from the bottom of my heart the governor sees sense. This is truly horrifying – an innocent man set to die in the coming hours in one of the most developed countries in the world.

    1. @THE PHANTOM Yes and all the moreso when the man is innocent, I keep checking for updates. I hope to god the governer intervenes. This is horrific.

    2. @THE PHANTOM Not so much “amusing” as “warm and fuzzy” to know that this criminal will never be able to harm good innocent people again, like those 3 dead cops. “Cause for celebration” is fair, yes. Gonna celebrate when they fry Dylan Roof too.

  3. Isn’t that called beyond a reasonable doubt …like come on execution of ppl not guilty of the crime ….smh ….totally unacceptable. …

  4. The real killer came forward and confess so why a innocent man has to die? Americans, are we sure America is the greatest country on the face of the earth?

    1. The man shouldn’t even be in prison he’s already done 15 years and he didn’t even pull the trigger 🤦🏻‍♂️

  5. see, a sentence for a man who’s involvement hasn’t been cleared, and we have a WH Psychopath who does terrible stuff to betray the country who’s getting away with everything. Nice justice system in place…

  6. The Entire Story was never told how the corrupt officers were involved with these guys, before the shooting, which led to the shooting…but hey, Alabama is still Alabama, until the People change it…
    My heart goes out to all families, involved.

  7. I used to be hardcore for the death penalty. Until I realized that it’s implemented unfairly mostly to poor and people of color. Also the value on cops lives are rated higher than everyone else. Because it’s almost a guarantee that a defendant of a slain officer will get the death penalty. While I’ve seen civilian murderers get 6 years. Which is sad because I’ve also seen people get 20 years for a pocket of crack. Until white or wealthy people get it the same. Or all victims have the same guaranteed death protections as cops. Government executions should be abolished.

    1. Well said! you’ve highlighted all of the talking points of ‘injustices’ pertaining to death penalty and mass incarcerations via law enforcement and judicial system. I hope things change for the better regarding People of Color.🙏🏻

  8. This guy happened to be at that house and as a result someone else shot them after he surrendered. The US is a total cesspool .
