They wrongfully executed this little fourteen year old

Last edited Sun May 24, 2015, 04:25 PM - Edit history (1)

for a murder he did not commit. He was pronounced guilty in sixteen minutes

Lil Rice was shot dead in Ohio two seconds after the murderous cop arrives


and yet the 'purer than thou', judgmental asshole and pedophile son of ReTHUG snake oil grifters had his record destroyed and folks here are asking me to be nice to him.

Fuck that!!!

This story is sad, and represents surely thousands like it.

Continuing to this day, I might add.

And I share the poster's disgust that being an uber-religious celebrity, like Josh Duggar is, somehow entitles him to forgiveness for being a malevolent sexual predator who has scarred those girls for life.

Fuck that.

Ďuggar can rot in hell. And it is long past for Americans to stop killing black boys. And Duggar got "counseling" instead of jail Fuck that molesting bastard and his idiot wife and parents.

You've got that exactly right.

Many of those fundamentalists still will quote chapter and verse to condemn mixed-race marriages; they believe that Blacks are born with the "Mark of Cain" or the "Curse of Ham", depending on which imaginary human any church finds convenient to suit their racist rants. One of those humongous families lived just up the road from us here and both of the parents are currently serving prison terms for abusing to death the little girl they'd adopted from Ethiopia.

http://www.slate.com/articles/double_x/doublex/2013/11/hana_williams_the_tragic_death_of_an_ethiopian_adoptee_and_how_it_could.html

For three years, that poor child was told she had the devil within her, that she'd been born cursed, and they beat her continually with one of the recommended "rods" that sickos Michael and Debi Pearl sold thru their twisted ministry (the very same people that the Duggars used to sing praises of) to "break her will". The older boys in that family had also been given the duty of "disciplining" the younger "rebellious" children, so that helpless girl and another even smaller deaf boy, also adopted from Ethiopia, couldn't turn around or even frown without getting beaten by somebody.

It took five months to get our fucking prosecutor to finally take action against these murderers.

They were such a good religious family.

The family of the people who put this child in the electric chair should see a pardon for them. They should get down on their knees and beg forgiveness for the actions of the grandparents and parents. Maybe the family will grant forgiveness but maybe not.

Frierson and Stinney’s family maintained that they never wanted a pardon.

“There’s a difference: A pardon is forgiving someone for something they did,” Norma Robinson, George Stinney’s niece, told the Manning Times. “That wasn’t an option for my mother, my aunt or my uncle. We weren’t asking forgiveness.”

Instead, they sought what’s called a “writ of coram nobis.” It means, in essence, mistakes were made.

The Sex Offender registry is public knowledge, for good reason, and those who think that Child Molesters need to be treated with "kid" gloves for some reason surely must have never had any experience with one.

Covering up such heinous crimes puts other children at risk of suffering, especially when a known predator is constantly surrounded by lots of kids, either those of one's own family or the children of friends, neighbors, or unknowing random acquaintances.

It makes me nauseous to hear the words "mistakes", "sins", and "forgiveness" used in place of child molestation, crime, and psychological treatment. This is 2015 not the Middle Ages!

Fuck that bullshit! Just fuck it!
