    Perhaps one of the many innocent folks on death row, which includes a not insignificant amount of African Americans too.

    But this guy can fuck right off, I am not losing a second of sleep to his suffering.

      I am never worried about guilty people on death row. I am worried about those that kill them, those that help kill them, those that witness the killing, and those who believe falsely that this form of justice will heal anyone from harms or prevent future harms.

        You forgot to worry about those who are raised in a society where it’s okay to kill people for any reason other than preventing another person from being harmed.

      You should lose sleep a political authority which fancies itself arbiter of justice is inflicting that suffering on purpose.

      States should not do that.
