Another State Sanctioned Murder
Another state sanctioned murder occurred today when the State of Florida executed Manuel Valle. The drugs used to kill him were experimental and could have caused undue torture.
We must stop this barbaric practice.

Another man is killed and no one cares. How many deaths will it take?
hello i see u have honorable intentions here but i am more concerned about the lost lives of innocent victims.
Hi John,
for what its worth, I didn’t agree with the Troy Davis execution.
Capital Punishment has been debated into the ground since the States had a right to legislate for themselves.
Many see it as barbaric and others see it as people appointing themselves as God.
Some say its ok as in an eye for an eye and to save the taxpayers money to house them and there are those who think it is the only way to a true closure for the victims families.
I have to ask,
you are not a believer in God so just exactly what is the foundation for your aversion to the death penalty (since it isn’t a spiritual reason).
I ask this out of curiosity only and not as a means to get a debate about religion or to make others think you arent pushing your cause for a good reason.
Personally, I only support the death penalty in certain cases where there is absolutely NO question whatsoever to a persons guilt (by Science…DNA…etc…or admission of guilt/witnesses to the crime) AND if it is pretty much a cut and dry case that the person to be executed has NO value for human life or any thoughts of redemption or remorse.
(insert Jeffrey Dahmer here).
Executing the innocent ought to be unthinkable. Executing the guilty, doesn’t do us any good either
This stinking system has long been due a complete a total over haul I mean wtf is really going on here friends…????

Nothing like a little state sponsored torture before they ultimately kill the person anyways huh…
Even if I believed in the taking of another life, we need to admit our system is so badly flawed we sometimes blame and execute the innocent. This relieves no suffering but causes more. What a bad idea. 😈
I try to avoid this kind of debate for one reason. We belong in the animal kingdom and have animal instinct. Yet, humans are a complex animal, as we have emotions and capability to reasonings.
However, I just wanted to that it is well documented that humans are the cruelest animals, as we have developed all kinds of ways to torture others in the name of justice.
I like your stance Allah. Personally, I cannot say if I believe in the same thing as you. Perhaps, I would want revenge if some one did something cruel to me or mine family member….
