Bluesky Post

TranscriptAlabama suffocated a man to death in a gas chamber tonight after starving him so he wouldn't choke on his own vomit as they did it. And this was deemed perfectly legal by multiple courts in the vaunted American legal system.

That's what happens when you value institutions over people.

I’m for justice to be carried out. There are people on death row who certainly deserve to die for the violent crimes they committed against innocent victims.

Our system may not be perfect but it’s the best one we have.

Life in prison is justice. Our system is what got Sedley Alley killed by the state. If it's the best we've got, then we need to find a better one.

You’re welcome to leave and/or avoid traveling to states and nations with death penalties.

And you're welcome to leave and go someplace that I'm not trying to improve

No, I prefer to stay and advocate for the victims of those you would protect.
