The state of Missouri is set to execute Marcellus, even though literally NO ONE with a stake in the outcome of the case—not even the prosecutor nor the victim’s family— wants him to die. Learn More Here
CNN — [Breaking news update, published at 7:18 p.m. ET]
Marcellus Williams, whose murder conviction was questioned by a prosecutor, died by lethal injection Tuesday evening in Missouri after the US Supreme Court denied a stay.
Cowardly country full of cutthroat murderers.
So is the point of this murder just to murder a black man in a legal way?
I think that’s enough internet for today for me. I have nothing funny or clever to say about this and something inside me is still somehow shocked by such a level of petty murderous hatred.
Based guerrilla Wikipedia edits today.
Known and proud murderer Michael Lynn Parson of 100 Madison Street, Jefferson City, MO 65101 is a real piece of shit, huh?
From the governor who oversaw the George Floyd bullshit, yeah, this is about what I’d expect.
Bet the nerds on Natopedia reverted it for WP:WEITFUIGJAIKF. AKA the “don’t tell the truth about anything American without 2000000 sources” clause.
This isn’t politics related but Wikipedia made me find a source to prove a song didn’t have a harmonica part in it. They’re so fucking petty over the most random shit it’s not even funny.
This is devastating. Reminder that Dems took abolishing the death penalty off their part platform. Literally every single day there is another horror that convinces me that the America of 2024 is no different to the America of the Trail of Tears.

I mean yeah otherwise it might beg the question of why didn’t Biden/Harris do literally anything
It still begs the question of how much longer they think they can keep murdering innocent folk, this is one of the most unambigiously ghoulish things the US has done domestically in recent memory. There is literally nothing that justifies this. No amount of concern trolling or formalism can take away from the fact that an innocent man, with DNA evidence already available that proved his innocence, was murdered for no other reason than being black.

This is why I keep hoping someone generates the intestinal fortitude to actually start slapping this country in the face again. I’d betray these crackers so fucking fast… Sell 'em all out to whoever wants their blood the most, and then I’ll watch what happens to 'em.
the Supreme KKKourt is allowing it: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/marcellus-williams-execution-supreme-court-stay-denied/
Then, hours before Williams was set to be executed, then-Gov. Eric Greitens called it off and appointed a panel of five retired judges to investigate the DNA evidence. The board, however, was dissolved by Parson in June 2023 and never issued its final report.
So the supreme court just declared the state can murder an innocent token to save it’s own face / ego.
They’re into that kind of thing
Herrera v. Collins, 506 U.S. 390 (1993), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled by 6 votes to 3 that a claim of actual innocence does not entitle a petitioner to federal habeas corpus relief by way of the Eighth Amendment’s ban on cruel and unusual punishment.
Or, as the Onion has put it, “Supreme Court Overturns Right v. Wrong.”
