I have a set of not particularly well-formed thoughts about the revelation that #GusVallas, son of #ChicagoMayoralElection candidate #PaulVallas, was one of three officers who shot #KevinJohnson, a Black man, in the back in 2022, but it feels wrong to stay entirely silent. Here are my thoughts so far.

Even though a special prosecutor found that racism was a "decisive factor" in Kevin Johnson's death sentence and that it should be vacated, he was executed tonight in Missouri.

Here's a statement from his lawyers:

#NOpenaMorte #NOdeathPenalty
"Un procuratore speciale ha scoperto che il caso di #KevinJohnson era viziato da razzismo. Il #Missouri sta per ucciderlo comunque.
La sua esecuzione è fissata per il #29novembre."
