Benjamin Donnie Ritchie was executed in the early morning hours Tuesday by the state of Indiana. The state barred representatives of the media from witnessing the gruesome proceedings. His attorneys had argued that he should not be executed due to his “severe brain damage.”
We need to abolish the death penalty globally. Government sanctioned murder of the proletariat should never be okay.
The people killing the government, and/or the powers that be, is perfectly acceptable.
Punch up, not down.
Like a certain Italian who likes green and punches up to hit bricks and get rewards?
The execution proceeded after Governor Mike Braun, a Republican, denied Ritchie’s clemency request following the unanimous recommendation of the Indiana Parole Board and the US Supreme Court who denied without comment the condemned man’s request for a stay of execution.
Republicans are experts at not listening to what experts and their constituents want.
It’s honestly a vast majority of every part of powerful people in society; Democrats, CEOs, and even most journalists nowadays. Republicans have just let the mask slip sooner than the rest
