Stupid Hippie Thoughts
One of my ninjas sent this from the facebook page of a person my ninja says is a Code Pink member from Austin;
Yeah, I don’t think I’d publicly declare that I’m one with a convicted cop killer. But the left has some fascination with black-skinned cop killers for some reason. If you don’t know about the case, our friend Robin at Chickenhawk Express has been writing about it since I’ve known her because the murder happened in her hometown of Savannah, GA.
I’m not totally down with the death penalty, but you wouldn’t see me emoting like this over a cop killer;
I like the shit about it being about race…everything is about race these days. In fact I think you guys aren’t clicking my ads because you’re racists. What have you got against third generation Swedish-Americans, anyway?
Yahoo News asked Georgians what they thought of the case and they seem divided on it;
– Maryanne Stahl, high school teacher, Savannah
“I won’t celebrate the execution of Davis. However, I am extremely confident that the justice system has convicted the right man. It is sad that our justice system allows for trials like this one to drag on for 20 years.
— Colby Self, former training co-ordinator for GA Public Safety Training Center, Savannah
“There’s never any justification for killing someone. It’s just as wrong for the state to do it as it is for murderers to do it.
— Roy Tenent, city planner, Augusta
“It should have been done long before now. Georgia has paid his room and board for more than 20 years. The policeman he shot didn’t get that kind of good treatment.
The admissible facts of the case have been posted here.
Someone sent us an opinion piece written by Lou Arcangeli, a former chief of police from Atlanta and printed in the Savannah Morning News this morning.
And Alec Baldwin went nuts on Twitter after the execution – Somehow your support for the troops is at fault for Davis’ execution and it morphs into a call for the trial of Cheney and Rumsfeld. That Baldwin is a real deep thinker, ain’t he?

I knew it. You pacifist pansy Swedish-American and 3rd generation at that. I am 2nd generation German-Norwegian-American. Combination of Viking/Visigoth blood in these veins.
Oh Troy Davis, good riddance. Notice these leftists only come to the defense of cop killing minorities. Strange how that works.
Hey, EVERYBODY in prison is not quilty…if you don’t think so, just ask any of them. “I was framed” “the police just arrested me because I’m ugly.” etc.
Even if one assumes that this guy wasn’t the one who fatally shot the guy, claiming he is “innocent” can only be accepted in the abstract of “innocent of this charge.” Dude was there with his buddy, hassling a homeless person and stealing his beer. And then he runs when the cop shows up.
Again, I oppose the DP, but this guy wasn’t an angel under any interpretation.
Pretty sure there was another execution yesterday–the white dude who dragged a black a black man behind his truck and killed him–a hate crime.
I don’t recall national news defending him. Is it more okay to kill racist white guys than cop killing black guys w/no race bias?
I shed no tear for either man–they were killers. Both will kill no more and society is safer. Next slide.
@Raven.
Absolutely spot on.
For the record, I work in a prison and I can tell you that all of them are innocent…at birth.
After that, their innocence is on their personal responsibility.
A minority cop killer…I guess if there was a video of him being beaten by other cops because he refused to surrender after killing the cop they’d have let him go.
Good riddance to one bad piece of filth, here is an edittorial written by a former Atlanta Deputy Chief of Police, good read:

If he is so innocent, why was his street name what it was, and why were his prints all over the handgun, the same hand gun used to commit another murder an hour before P.O. McPhail’s killing? Why was P.O. McPhail’s blood all over clothing worn by the Skell, and why did he flee Savanna for Atlanta? Oh, and why did the Ballistics match up? That doesn’t sound so innocent to me….
There was no racism against Davis. The jury that convicted Davis was composed of 7 black members and 5 white members. The eyewitnesses who testifed against Davis were black.
Davis was guilty and got the justice he deserved.
Fuck Davis and the mule he rode in on. And that red-neck peckerwood in Arkansas who drug Mr. Byrd to death behind a pick-up truck.
And more importantly, fuck the hand wringing, whining, pussies who are crying about Davis’ demise. And yeah…not a peep from them regarding the peckerwood in Arkansas…just the sound of crickets chirping.
And the moron “Debbie Russell” above…Please God…please, ensure she is sterile so she does not bring more progressive sheep into our culture and nation.
I’m just wondering if these assholes are as upset over Texas giving Lawrence Brewer the needle last night?
@Spigot
That’s a Texas case, not one from Arkansas. It’s the case used in the ad against Bush when he was running for president in 2000: Bush didn’t support hate crimes legislation named for Byrd, so Byrd’s daughter said “it was like my family was killed all over again” (http://www.gwu.edu/~action/ads2/adnaacp.html).
@ Miss Ladybug: thanks for the info…for some reason I was thinking AR and not TX.
In any event, good on TX for taking out the trash.
This guy was no saint and the people he ran with weren’t saints either. Maybe the lesson for all of his supporters should be ‘don’t hang out with criminals and thugs because they might finger you when they pistol whip a homeless guy for a beer and then shoot an off duty cop in the face.’
BohicaTwentyTwo. I like the way you think.
I doubt it NHSparky.

As with everything else in our society it is a RACIAL issue, NOT a death penalty issue!
Where was the celebrity and activist group outcry over the Brewer execution?
I bet if it were a black man accused of a vicious hate crime against a white man, and he were to be executed, there would be outcries over the death penalty.
I know Debbie Russell. I know what a shock, right? I have not communicated with her in a long time and removed her from my Facebook account. It is my understand as well that she is a member of Code Pink. I hit the roof when I read what she posted above. I have not read anything about Davis’s case so I can not speak to my own thoughts on him being guilty or innocent.
But what upsets me about her posting is that she is NOT Troy Davis, she has not suffered, and no part of her has died as a result of his execution. I find it in incredibly poor taste to somehow align yourself with the grief of his Family and other loved ones just because you followed the case. These activists are overly emotional and love to play the constant victims and underdogs. If you plan on fighting, fight to win, or shut up.
If he’s innocent, he’s been judged and is in a far better place than anyone deserves.
If he’s guilty, he’s been judged and is paying for it.
The death penalty is for society, not for the person facing it. His/her true judgement comes after. The death penalty is society’s way of removing someone who can no longer peacefully within it.
I just spent an interesting few hours in a hospital ER, with the mother-in-law and wife, unfortunately mom uses the hospital located in the inner-city, cuz it’s the Catholic hospital. When the follow-up on this came on CNN, the crack-heads and assorted headache patients came alive with things like, “Even the Pope said they couldn’t execute him” and “they (the police) just picked him up because he was black”, and the old standby, “the jury was racist”. It took a lot to just keep my mouth shut, well, that and 3 well placed kicks to my shin from Household 6, that is.
And, yeah, Alec Baldwin is a brain-dead ass.
I would like to pose an interesting moral delema for all those Libtards out there.
IF Hitler and Goebbels WERE captured alive, would they merit the Death penalty? How about OBL?
Further, if the offender WASN’T black, would you still care (aside from the routine “killing is wrong”)?
Lastly, did you notice the HUGE upswing in violence in the 70’s when the death penalty was declared unconstitutional?
personally I believe that there should be a federal law that if a person is to get the death penilty it should be no more than 5 years after the sentance is delivered.
You notice that nobody is caring about the white supremacist that was executed on the same night for the dragging death of a black man… But, that cracker had it coming, the poor black man was just a victim of his circumstances. Not to mention, it was probably all the cop’s fault… Yeah, right.
I do not support the death penalty. He should have been made to live out his life in a 4×6 cell eating Naval survival rations and drinking only water.
I agree with the above statement that there should be a cap on the number of years allowed for the appeals process, so that the convicted is not allowed to tput the victim’s family through help any longer, and so that they do not become a drain on societal resources any longer than is necessary. I also think that Heinlein got it right in Starship Troopers about the death penalty, and about it being a public execution, so that the skells of society can be routinely reminded what awaits them should they venture down the same path.
@11 I bet Lawrence Brewer is one of your heroes sparky.
Referencing the comments in #19 and #21:
When did it become the law of the land that only the abnoxious morons that will bitch slap you for looking at them wrong have the right to express what they believe in public?
UpNorth and Flagwaver:
It took me this long to realize what I posted was very unclear. I was NOT referring to what you two said, your comments, but to the situations identified within your comments. In your case, UpNorth, to the overheard comments in the ER. In your case, Flagwaver, to the skewed ideas of fairness and justice you pointed out.
And this is what happens, gentlemen, when my fingers get ahead of my brain. My apologies for any raised eyebrows my comment in post #23 might have caused.
If its any comfort to you Obama Girl, Brewer told the press when asked that he wasn’t sorry, held no remorse and would do it again.
The difference between Davis and the guy who tied up Byrd up behind his truck and pulled him down the street until he fell apart is that no one thought the truck guy was innocent of the charges. However, Byrd family themselves called for a stay of the execution.
As a group, people against the death penalty are more likely to protest the execution of a man who deserves a new trial over discoveries calling the evidence into serious doubt, rather than an obviously guilty person. It isn’t exactly pursuasive to people like yourselves to argue the death penalty is wrong because it kills obviously guilty people.
I bet Lawrence Brewer is one of your heroes sparky.
Project much, skank? Or do you just like hanging out with phony fucks who slink away when called on their bullshit? I’m getting a little tired of your fucking games, so I’ll make this real fucking easy for you to understand.
Brewer deserved to die. So did Davis. So does virtually any person who finds themselves on Death Row in any prison. I don’t give a fuck what color they are, how mommy didn’t love them, how you wouldn’t suck their cock in Iraq without a rubber on first, whatever.
This is the part where I’d tell you to go blow that squad bay full of Marines, but I’d need to grease your hips and throw in a candy bar first.
PN, I knew what you meant in #24. That was my thought while I sat there listening to ignorance on parade.
And, J, I hope you weren’t even going close to the idea that Davis was innocent, the evidence was never, ever called into serious doubt, in his case.
And, Sparky, thanks for starting my day out with a laugh, that was just fantabulous.
And, the picture in the post? She DFO’d. Done fell out.
