In many countries, when you bring forward evidence like this, they smile and say in the gentlest sweetest tones, "Oh deary. We know you're innocent. We want you to die." Then they smack you over the head with a police club.

@peace378ify Hey sorry I did not get your message until now. I'm new to the whole Youttube messaging system. I almost cried that night seriously, the whole world was watching and we executed an innocent man. I was disgusted. I've joined Amnesty International....I need to save money but I figure if we can help the cause we might as well chip in. Hope all is well with you and Happy new Year!

@constablekelly okay, thanks :). sad news though: just heard that they still plan executing Troy Davis on the 21st! unbelievable. and downright wrong!!!

[constablekelly]

@peace378ify no prob. and def not. I didn't even know you could friend people on youtube but was receiving requests from people I did not even know which I usually decline. So no, don't worry, no virus scan ;) Just figured we have the same interests thats all ;) Hoping tomorrow has some good news for Troy Davis!

@constablekelly thanks for the invite...this isn't one of those virus scams is it though. i don't want to accept your invitation(which i really do want to) if it'll give computer a virus. my family would not be too happy with that lol.

[peace378ify]

@constablekelly me too. how could they do that to this man even with all this new evidence saying he didn't do it? im not sure if there are any rallies around here though--not too many people know or even care what's happening here i don't think. but good for you for stepping up to do the right thing. i wish there were more people like you!

[constablekelly]

@peace378ify I agree. I'm hoping that Troy Davis will not be executed this week. There are rallies going on all over the country, wherever you are please attend one.

[peace378ify]

@sakiema1997 really? how are you both doing?

[peace378ify]

@constablekelly you're right. it shouldn't be happening anywhere, but it does. we all have to do our part in stopping it.
