So, now what do we do?

[EFerrari]

We're being forced to watch the state killing a man that may be innocent, whose trial was riddled with corruption, as was his incarceration.

Do we just all go away now and wait for the next time this grotesque ritual plays out again?

I don't think I can do this any more. I need to do something different, something else, or more or in resistance to this obscenity.

[Gregorian]

1. I know what we cannot do. We cannot let someone like Perry become our president.

This is the opposite side of your question.

[Joe the Revelator]

2. That's the truth, truth.

[Gregorian]

5. The stealing of the 2000 election also resulted in the killing of Troy.

I'm betting the Supreme Court would have issued a stay, had Gore been sworn in, and had Gore replaced retiring justices.

Conservatives are crap. I hate to be hateful, but it's hard sometimes.

[grasswire]

13. good point, good point

Just think what the court would look like had Al Gore been president.

[GreenPartyVoter]

3. What do we do? I wish I knew. I wish I knew how to fix our government and justice system. I wish

I had the power to make it be these shining amazing things that so many mistakenly believe they are. :depressed:

[Horse with no Name]

4. I think the only things that are left to our device are taking care of those close to us

it is apparent that we don't have skin in this game...we might have at one time, but we don't now.

I am pretty sure I am pretty close to done.:(

[Gregorian]

6. Said on Democracy Now- vote with our dollars.

I think this may be one of the best answers to the question.

Vote with our dollars. We ended apartheid. We can force the unjust to their knees through boycotts.

[Kaleko]

21. That's definitely part of becoming active in the resistance movement, I agree.

[shireen]

7. i'm feeling the same profound sadness and disgust

i can't believe this is happening.

[EFerrari]

8. What country is this that the justice system fails at every single level --

the state courts, the parole board, the DA, the governor, the US Supreme Court? The president won't even comment on an obvious miscarriage of justice. Where the fuck are we? I woke up in Somalia today, apparently. There is no system here that can stop a planned and unnecessary murder.

This is no reason here, let alone room for reasonable doubt. There is no sane standard here. Where are we?

[shireen]

11. one thing i'm pretty sure is gonna happen ...

every person who had a role in murdering this man is going to be scrutinized. Every single action will be put under a microscope.
The dirty filthy truth will come out.

[leftstreet]

20. A country that engages in extraordinary rendition, extra judicial assassinations, torture

Okay, I'll stop

:cry:

[MsKandice01]

9. These things will continue to happen unless...

We abolish the death penalty altogether. Unfortunately, it won't ever happen.

[DinahMoeHum]

10. I have ideas, but unfortunately

they're not fit for discussion here.

[EFerrari]

12. Time of death 11:08

Shame.

[Gregorian]

14. BOYCOTT GEORGIA

Is this not what should happen?

[EFerrari]

16. I'm sorry but too upset right now to really work through.

:grouphug:

17. Anonymous has declared #OPGEORGIA

It's not clear that it amounts to anything yet -- but enough people are angry enough that something may. And I wouldn't be surprised if something got hacked.

On edit: I tried to put in a link for the Twitter search, but I guess you can't do that because of it being live update. So go to http://search.twitter.com and search on #OPGEORGIA.

[dana_b]

19. the parole board's site is under attack n/t

[starroute]

22. And this...

@AnonymousIRC

Georgia has prepared for ddos? Did they also prepare for the next stage? Too bad there is no weekday starting with "G". #TTT #FFF #SSS

24. The way to do it is to click on the minutes of a tweet (2 hours ago, whatever)

Then, it appears on your whole screen alone, and the link is in your address bar.

Thank you, I'll go look.

[EFerrari]

15. In his last statement, Troy spoke to the McPhail family in the front row.

He said he was sorry for their loss but that he did not have a gun that night and that he did not take their loved one's life. He said they should look deeper into the the case. He also wished mercy on the staff that were conducting his execution.

[Rex]

18. Keep dying so the State can always be correct and never wrong.

It is what is fucking over Americans...the fact that we don't torture, we don't commit war crimes, we don't kill innocent people by mistake and so on...

[EFerrari]

25. These are the contractors who did the actual killing. Cheerful looking bunch.

Where is the bullet point that says they 'kill people for the state at minimum taxpayer dollars'?
I want to know why they don't proudly advertise they murder people for profit.

[coalition_unwilling]

27. I know one thing I'm going to do and that is to avoid anything

originating from Georgia. Means I will not drink another drop of Coke or any of their family of products (not that I was a big drinker of it before this). Means I will not fly into Hartsfeld. I will boycott CNN's website and its advertisers.

I feel affection for Jimmy Carter and know that MLK, Jr. came from Georgia. But tonight I'm wishing Sherman had razed the entire state and salted its earth 150 years ago.

[EFerrari]

28. I really don't have the stomach for this

but I think I need to find out who benefits and how much from caging and killing black and brown people because that's what this is. First, off.

Second, Anonymous may be putting together a boycott of Georgia.

Then, there's working with Reprieve or Amnesty or someone who already know which part of the elephant they're looking at.

I feel ill.
