“#DeathPenalty experts have decried what is in effect a human experiment. The choice of Smith as the first candidate for the technique, less than a year after he experienced a failed execution, has also been criticized as a double violation of the eighth amendment protection against ‘cruel and unusual punishments”. #HumanRights #AbolishTheDeathPenalty https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/02/alabama-execution-nitrogen-kenneth-smith

Even among the undeniably guilty, whether or not someone will receive the death penalty often has less to do with the severity of their crime and more to do with their skin color, sex, or economic background.
It's time to choose mercy over vengeance and #AbolishTheDeathPenalty. https://t.co/HXqTYQz55k

Donald #Trump being interested in firing squads isn't much of a story. The firing squad is likely the most humane form of execution we have.
The story is he was obsessed with killing people and likely accelerated the execution of innocent people AND we're the only country in the world that has school shootings, despite being the only country in our peer group to sanction the barbarian practice of death penalties.

Amber McLaughlin was executed even though the jury did not recommend a death sentence. A judge imposed death anyway.
No one should be killed by the state. The time to abolish the racist, unjust, and cruel practice of the death penalty is NOW.
