Democracy Now! Special on Troy Davis Execution: Did Georgia Kill An Innocent Man? 2 of 2

[beteck123]

at 02:20 they praised thier God to early - that Dude isnt mercifull at all. Wake-up people,troy was killed because of "God". The people who executed Troy will claim they do it in the name of GOD.

If one American negro gets killed buy a White guy, it's front page news all around the world. But you hear nary a peep about all the White people (many times more) who're murdered by blacks. Look up Channon Christian, Emily Haddock, Anne Pressly, Carissa Horton, etc... etc... etc..........

[beteck123]

@citizenfitz You can thame a beast as much as you want but it will still remain a beast. And you my friend are a beast.

[citizenfitz]

@beteck123 "friend"? I don't have fools for friends.

[beteck123]

@citizenfitz Thats exactly what I was referring too in my posting - non-humans like you,you only have enemies so killing is natural to you. If you were human i.e exhibiting human traits - empathy,love,understanding,etc­,then you would have understood why i addressed you as "friend". Eventhough I disagree with you,i still dont consider you an enemy because thats not how it works with HUMANS.

@beteck123 Sin clouds the intellect; and with you it takes only one sin.

I worked in the court system and the main thing the jury was always instructed by the judge and attorneys to do, was to make their decision based on the fact that there either is or is not a reasonable doubt--REASONABLE DOUBT. If there is any doubt about a person's guilt then how can a person be executed? THAT IS THE LAW! So this truly is injustice.

[petersz98]

The USA is an absolute fucking disgrace! If any Americans read this you should all be holding your heads in shame and apologizing to the rest of the world. Hand over your war criminals Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld and the Governor of Georgia for murdering Troy Davis to be tried at the Hague NOW!!! As for your useless President Obomber RETURN YOUR NOBEL "PEACE" PRIZE NOW AND RESIGN!

[Grimwed]

@petersz98 no you eruo trash is the disgrace you care more for killers than their victims!

[flowersmarc]

fuck white people...the ones that like blacks are cool for you racist pigs fuck you bitch ass motherfuckers

[RhcP1975]

@flowersmarc Fuck Racists, no matter their skin color!

[samsarahmail]

Thank you Democracy now for being the only news program who cared enough to broadcast live from the scene...

[shaqqahs]

This is very wrong.. and I find it very disturbing that they let Casey Anthony free after all this evidence ...... and they found no evidence on Troy Davis but they execute him..? God dont like ugly and they will pay .. thats not my promise that is Gods promise.

[USASecretHistory]

I was watching the livestream yesterday. Two hours and a half hours after work I left work thinking they were going to give him some more time so they could review the case. When I got home he had already been executed twenty minutes before I got home. This event has marked me for life. I will never forget this. This will always be a part of me.

[MagicKirin]

Hey Goodman why do you always support cop killers and terrorists.

Why have you not spoken about Amanda Knox who was innocent instead of a cop killer.

Maybe becuase she was white

[roullettechick]

@MagicKirin

wow, youre an idiot if you think that is the important injustice..Have yourself some quality thinking time..

[MagicKirin]

@roullettechick

Its not injustice he was found guilty, he had a full legnth of appeals.

And the fact is Goodman only focused on those who are criminals or terrorists.

If you opposed the death penalty thats one thing, but there was no injustice

[roullettechick]

@MagicKirin Dear, it seems obvious you my not have actually read up on WHY this case is such an embarrassment to our ideals of justice, and just so you know Pope Benedict,Jimmy Carter and many other famous people of authority have also come out in his defense. Its ppl like you that just assume when someone is accused or in this case convicted, because our system is "perfect", they must be guilty. The only "race" factor here that is important is because Georgia has a long history of legislative .

[MagicKirin]

@roullettechick

Desmond Tutu and Jimmy Carter are racists, Desmond hates Jews as does Carter.

Where are they on Knox, the hikers in Iran or Gilead Shalit. All of whom are innocent unlike the murderer Davis

[roullettechick]

Respond to this video... racism. Do yourself and your country a favor and educate yourself on this case before making yourself look like a heartless fool. I wouldnt wish dying for a crime you didnt commit on you or my worst enemy. We should all wish for TRUE justice!

[MagicKirin]

@roullettechick

No you are the racist because you assume he is innocent because he is african American. Legal scholars not haters like Goodman and Tutu have said that he was tried fairly

Heartbreaking.

The PTB sent more than one message last night.

Here in the Midwest ALL networks on antenna TV (CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, PBS)- 100% ignored the story in real time, though it was the most important news in the country last night.

(PBS: Wall Street, Israel, O. and Bibi being chums) National news ignored Troy until after he was dead. Local affiliates ignored him too. But they had plenty of images of SWAT, and the words FEAR and KEEPING YOU SAFE on screen 3 or 4 times.

[raichutoyou]

I wonder if they put out the idea that the execution was stayed in order to dash their hopes all the more when they find out that it wasn't. If so that was disgustingly sadistic.

[y3hbab3]

I thought america was more mature =(,i believed racism ended there. I guess not.

[Dulcimerea]

@y3hbab3

For a while we were, kind of- between the mid sixties and the late 70s. It took a lot of work and suffering and deaths to win that far.

Then the fundamentalists, ass-brains, piggies, and pond scum- those of the doubly misnamed "conservative Right" (they're neither) lied their way into power, and our country went hard right, and back to the S.O.P. of war & plunder again.

We weren't vigilant enough nor numerous enough to stop it. but where there's life there's hope.

[luchpockets]

Were (chief justice) Carol W. Hunstein, Justice Robert Benham and Justice Harold Melton all involved in declining to stop the execution ?
