TS104: To The Death

Lots of crazy stuff happening in my life and in the world. Personal obligations keep chipping away at my time... but no way am I gone. ;)

-Started writing this show as I was watching Democracy Now coverage of the Troy Davis execution. This case was a disaster. Let me try and explain why.

Background on the case HERE and HERE.

-You kill a cop, you are convicted without a trial.

-The hypocrisy of the angry mob mentality

-Ah! A reasonable look at this from someone I admire greatly.

-How race plays into incarceration.

-Sean Bell? Who's that?

-Is the prison system racist? The stats are disputed.

-What about the cost of keeping inmates on death row?

-We interrupt this topic for some Lee Coulter.

-One last thought on Troy Davis and the death penalty. Rehab. Hear me out first, then roll your eyes.

-Why I am against the death penalty.

-Feedback time! I have an email to read! Yay!

-In other news, I have taken on a new volunteer position. This one is going to push my limits, that is for sure.

-CASA Program

- Extra reading: Good OpEd on eyewitness accounts and their inaccuracy.
