Stories like these make me understand more of why my cousin supports Amnesty International.

My views are simple. God does not differentiate between legal and illegal killing. death penalty always results in innocent lost lives. revenge or justice mmmm.

And YET Charles Manson still as crazy and unrepentant as ever lives on and a drain on the taxpapers! In Satan’s world, there is no justice!!

Your take on the issue shows your level of compassion and leve-headedness. Thanks for sharing the letter. This is my first time seeing it. I am deeply saddened too because hope failed us all. I was hoping for a different outcome, but God is all-knowing and only He knows why things turned out the way they did. I continue to pray for the souls of all those hurting from these traggic events.

I felt that this needed reposting, the most salient point being the part that encourages activism and involvement. The people who have already left comments clearly get it but there are so many ill-informed who don’t…

‘In anticipation of 2012 — please be advised that the President of the United States cannot grant clemency for a state conviction and it is inappropriate for him to comment on state matters — i.e. states fiercely protect their rights to govern themselves THUS the importance of engaging in your local politics — that includes voting, attending council meetings, mentoring the kids in your neighborhoods, knowing who your representatives are, knowing who your judges are…the harsh reality is that WE killed Troy Davis and those like him with our lack of engagement’ – A Hadiya Staley

Sista, thank you for this post. I am stirred, moved to tears, and inspired by Troy Davis’s letter.

Let us reaffirm our commitment to the true PRACTICE of justice. For the innocent, for the guilty and spiritually wounded…we’re all in this together. Thank you for bringing us together around this, and encouraging our activism. Bless you, sister.

This just got me so sad. I can’t believe that they’d kill a man despite there being too much doubt as to whether he murdered to police officer! I pray for his family and friends.

I am sad but hopeful this situation shakes us from our complacency. Become active and participate because at any time one of our loved ones or even ourselves could become Troy Davis.
