Missouri has executed Marcellus Williams. To God we belong & to God must we return😓

I hope @GovParsonMO lives a long life & is reminded every single day that he could have stopped the execution of an innocent man and instead chose to watch him die. Barbaric injustice & cruelty.

@QasimRashid

Innocent or not execution is barbaric. In the UK it was stopped in 1963. There is no justification for it.

Correction: The last executions in the United Kingdom were by hanging, and took place in 1964; capital punishment for murder was suspended in 1965 and finally abolished in 1969

@QasimRashid "Capital punishment" is a euphemism for human sacrifice.
@12thRITS @QasimRashid It really is. It's sacrificing a human on the altar of civility. We murder you, so that we can remain in a civil society. Regardless to whether you think there's sometimes a valid case for that...that's what it is.
The GOP Platform Is a Cruel Blueprint for Causing Misery

From immigration to censorship to health care and beyond, Trump’s Republican platform is a laundry list of reasons to vote Democratic.

The New Republic

2/2

Republicans are thugs in every sense of the word

Kristi Noem’s dog-killing embodies the cruel phoneyness of today’s Republicans

The South Dakota governor’s proud dog murder tells a lot about how posturing Trumpists like she and Greg Gianforte think

The Guardian
@QasimRashid I plan to mail him a postcard this holiday season: You chose to let an innocent man die.

@QasimRashid

Terrible, how could they…

@QasimRashid Parsons skeletons are coming to get him and they will have no mercy because he’s a serial killer.

@QasimRashid Imagine if none of that god stuff is true and his entire existence is now ended. No better place. No meeting in the after. Just gone. Stolen.

God is a defense mechanism we use when we can't handle the awfulness of reality. There are others, but "god" is a very common one. This man will never get justice or receive compensation.

It'll never be made right, which is why it must never happen again. It will, of course. We'll come up with nice stories to tell ourselves to get by
