We Will Execute Who We Want, When We Want, And F-You If You Disagree

Troy Davis, despite the state acknowledging the possibility of his innocence, was just murdered in an utterly grotesque show of raw state power. Armed stormtroopers in full riot gear guarded the jail where the execution took place, protecting their criminal overlords from a furious public begging for justice. Shame on anyone who supports anything this criminal government does. These gangsters are not here to "protect us," but to rule us.

Georgia executed Troy Davis on Wednesday night for the murder of an off-duty police officer, a crime he denied committing right to the end as supporters around the world mourned and declared that an innocent man was put to death.

Defiant to the end, he told relatives of Mark MacPhail that his 1989 slaying was not his fault. "I did not have a gun," he insisted.

"For those about to take my life," he told prison officials, "may God have mercy on your souls. May God bless your souls." - AP
