Ok but like actually DNI if you support the death penalty. Yes there are people who deserve to die for their crimes. No there isn’t a court in existence that should be given the power to decide who those people are

Hey y’all this is kind of important, I really hope this spreads, there is a man who is going to be killed on February 28th even when there is new evidence that there was a false testimony.

For those of you brave enough to make a phone call, here is the phone number of the Texan lawmakers: 866-233-2601

Move on has a recommended script to say when calling:

"I'm calling you as an elected official in Texas to urge you to publicly call on DA Greg Willis to delay the execution of Ivan Cantu on February 28. Recently, the DA's own office made a legal filing before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals showing that the state's star witness falsely testified and the lead detective knew she was lying. 

"Even the jury foreman from Ivan's 2001 trial has spoken out to the press saying he doesn't believe due process was followed in Ivan's case given recent evidence that signals to the fact that Ivan may have been wrongfully convicted."

Everyone deserves a fair trial, but Ivan Cantu has had to spend 20 years in prison waiting for his shot at one. He has only days left to live—please take action now by calling Texas lawmakers before it's too late.

Thank you for taking a stand on this important issue. It is also particularly important that the Collin County DA hear from Texas constituents at this time. If you are a Texan, please share that information when you make your call.”

I have posted a link to the petition for those who want to sign it, and a phone number for those brave enough to call.

Please consider helping.

Toy Electric Chair, American (1920s)

Originally this toy included flailing legs, but they must have worn off at some point. Note the symbolic dead rat on the ground under the chair.

I fucked up something on my learner’s permit and received the death penalty for it.

When I become famous I'll get arrested for freeing all the lobsters from H-mart but my lawyer will have graduated law school by cheating with ChatGPT so I'll get the death penalty

Conservatives: "Gun control? While protecting children is important, freedom is more important, and calling for bigger government never solves anything."

Conservatives: "Welfare? While protecting children is important, freedom is more important, and calling for bigger government never solves anything."

Conservatives: "Death penalty for sex offenders? I support it. How can anyone object to a policy that was created to protect children?"

A big argument with the pro death penalty crowd is, "well what about the people who actually are guilty?" And the answer is always, "well what about the people who are actually innocent?"

I would rather spare the lives of a 100 guilty people rather than execute 1 innocent person.

And functionally, the death penalty doesn't really do anything.

There's no evidence to suggest that states that have the death penalty see a decrease in crime, so it isn't a deterrent. The only thing it functionally does is attempt to make people feel better.

A life sentence will functionally accomplish the same thing a death penalty does, it will keep that person away from the public.

With life sentences, an innocent person has the opportunity to be found innocent and released. You can't bring an innocent person back to life if you find out after their execution that they're actually innocent.

there are two executions scheduled next month

michael smith is scheduled to be executed by the state of oklahoma on april 4th, and brian dorsey in missouri on april 9th. of the time i'm writing this, willie pye was just killed last night by the state of georgia. none of these men should have been eligible for the death penalty: both mr. pye and mr. smith had/have intellectual disabilities and mr. dorsey was incapable of deliberation during the time of his crime which should have changed the nature of his murder charge.

read more about michael smith and brian dorsey and sign petitions asking for clemency below:

#i was shamefully late to posting about willie pye on here due to health issues so i'm trying to be proactive now and will try to post #about people the month before they're scheduled when i'm able to so people have time to see it #death penalty #death penalty action #petitions

This is Liza from Belarus. One week ago, in the centre of Warsaw, she was brutally attacked and raped by a man, who later claimed that he wanted to rob her and "doesn't remember" what happened. Liza was wounded so badly that she died yesterday. She was only 25 years old.
