Just to understand the outrage;
These are prisoners already convicted and on Death Row, correct?
Convicted and sentenced before Trump was elected?
And the displeasure is that he's actually attempting to execute the sentence or because of the race of the inmate?

I already listed 6 Black inmates who are being executed. 2 of them were teenagers when they did the crime, 2 were mentally disabled, and 2 were only accomplices who didn't commit the actual murder, whose prosecutors lied during the trial.

The Supreme Court decisions that said we can't sentence minors and mentally disabled inmates to death came AFTER these men were convicted. So we take more shyt into account now than we used to.

Read the thread before speaking ignorantly. These people were convicted in the 1990s in a different era. Since then the Federal Government put a hiatus on the death penalty and most states have stopped using it, realizing it's a relic of a barbaric age. 90% of the developed world doesn't use it anymore, and the ones that do only use it for the most heinous crimes, usually mass terrorism or similar.

There hadn't been a single federal execution in 17 years before Trump ramped them up this year. We were getting past that. Now he wants to put us back to the "Good Old Days", as with all his other policies .

Dustin Higgs: Convicted in Maryland in 1996 of the homicide of a group of three women who had threatened to set him and his friends up after a date gone wrong. All witnesses agreed that Higgs did not kill any of the victims. Prosecutors argued that he had "bullied" the gunman into committing the crimes, but the gunman himself submitted a signed affidavit stating that was bullshyt and he had carried out the murders of his own accord, testimony supported by several other inmates who had shared a cell with the gunman but which was not allowed at Higgs's trial. Higgs was sitting in the driver's seat of the car while the gunman shot the women with Higgs's gun. The gunman, paradoxically, was only sentenced to life in prison. Higgs is scheduled to be executed on January 15th, MLK Jr. Day.

Bruh, Maryland stopped the death penalty 7 years ago and none of the Governors commuted his bogus ass sentence since 2013??? I gotta write somebody before he gets executed
:mindblown:
(Washington, DC) – Maryland on May 2, 2013, became the sixth US state in six years to abolish the death penalty, continuing a trend to end this inherently cruel punishment in the United States. Maryland’s governor should commute the sentences of the five men who remain on the state’s death row.

Gov. Martin O’Malley on May 2 signed a bill abolishing the state’s death penalty and replacing it with the sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole. However, the law does not directly affect the five inmates in the state awaiting execution. O'Malley has said he will determine on a case-by-case basis whether to commute their sentences.

“By repealing the death penalty, Maryland joins a growing group of states in rejecting a cruel and inherently unjust practice,” said Alba Morales, US criminal justice researcher at Human Rights Watch. “Governor O’Malley should build on his tremendous leadership on this issue by commuting the death sentences of the five men still on death row.”

China
Iran
Saudi Arabia
Iraq
Egypt
USA
Pakistan
Somalia
South Sudan

(edit: North Korea and Vietnam should be on that list too, but they don't disclose how many people they've killed.)

I'm pretty sure they can't cause he was convicted in federal court. It's outside of their jurisdiction.

Only 6 jurisdictions in the USA have executed an inmate in 2020: Alabama, Georgia, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas, and Trump's Feds. South Carolina also has an execution planned.


There were only 7 in 2019: Texas, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, Florida, Missouri, and South Dakota

Gee, what do they all have in common? :francis:

I went all the way back to 2010 before finding a single execution that was in a state that wasn't either a former slave state or hard-core Republican (the state of Washington executed one man that year). Most of the world including most of America realized 10+ years ago that this shyt was barbaric, and only the worst of the worst are still doing it.

Like who the fukk was asking for firing squads to come back?
No one. People like Trump and he showed this during the central park 5 situation and his "op-ed" on that, operate strictly on sadism and thinking its justice. If it was up to people like Trump, these people would be tortured in the worst way possible before being put to death because they derive sadistic joy from seeing what they deem to be undeseriables suffer.
