    It doesn’t matter if he was guilty or innocent. State-sanctioned murder is ALWAYS wrong.

      Arguably, it does matter a lot more if he was innocent, and it matters A LOT A LOT A LOT more if the appropriate authorities were presented with evidence of his innocence and chose to ignore it.

    I’m somewhere between anti capital punishment and wanting to execute the damn governor for this.

      Sure would be a shame if someone found the governor, AG, and secretary of state in a hot tub, choked to death on each others’ dicks.

    What a fucking tragedy. A complete lack of justice.

    I am reminded of TST tenet 2: The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions.

      Hey bud, it looks like you accidentally put the question mark in the wrong place. Here, let me fix it for you:

      What justice has been served?

        You guys also did away with your penny, legalized recreational cannabis nationally, and instituted universal healthcare. If the US followed suit in any of these four things, I would be so happy.

            You might be interested in this article. Pennies are essentially just a logistical burden, an unnecessary cost to produce, something with historical precedent for doing away with, something Canada who had a similar-value penny to ours when they stopped producing it doesn’t seem to miss, a huge source of litter and environmental damage, and not at all beneficial to the consumer.

            There’s really no rational argument to keep the penny outside of familiarity, and I would be willing to bet that if we’d removed the penny several decades ago and a 2024 reintroduction came up, it would be wildly unpopular and would receive widespread pushback.
