A government-ordered lynching. Deplorable. The only solace to find in this is that he is now in our Lord's hands and doesn't have to suffer anymore.

I can't believe they murdered him. They just couldn't wait, could they?!?!?!
Derrique Stuckey
Get real. They've been waiting 22 years.
Justice Now!
We waited decades.
Rot in hell Troy Davis, a murdering piece of sh!t.
Clayton Bigsby
Justice is served.
Wait for what? Another appeal? Give me a break.

They DID wait, for 20 years! Justice is done. He's in God's hands now on what happens to his soul.
REALLY?!?! Do you have any thing in that hollow place between your ears?!?!? We waited 22 years! Time to pay for your sins, Troy Davis AKA murderer!
kiptron
I didnt do nuthin, nowhatim sayin?
What a disturbing bunch of racists we have on this forum! And "WE" didn't wait 22 years, freak!!
ARMYofONE
How did any of the above comments come across as a bunch of racists? I am black, he was guilty, and justice was served. Thre were appeals allt he way to the Supreme Court. Since when did arm chair lawyers on a forum determine law??
ArmyofOne, you don't notice racism on this forum?! (Re-read my comments, they refer to the whole forum.) Maybe you need to pay more attention.
The sister of a black man murdered in Mississippi by this a supremacist asked prosecutors not to seek the death penalty and spare his life. Quite a contrast from MacPhail's mother who wanted to see Troy dead at all costs. Sickening.
You're right. I agree it's sick that Troy Davis killed an honest man. Good thing they killed him in exchange, eh?
So now you smear the mother of a dead man? Very impressive.
This is crazy
So what now? Two dead people. What did this solve?
Audrey Hansen
more people won't be killed by this one! yes two people are now dead but if davis hadn't been a gun totting thug we'd have 2 people alive.
I agree with you. Two deaths does not solve anything. May Troy Davis rest in peace.
We solved absolutely NOTHING!

They are victims and my prayers are also with them. However, when "witnesses" come forward and say that they were bullied by the police into saying they saw Davis, should throw out their testimony. Perjury is illegal. It's sad when the police, who are suppose to be protecting us, are bullying people into saying what they want. That is what is disgusting. My disappointment in the Supreme Court still stands.

you know when the NAACP gets involved the guy is absolutely guilty. The only thing they have left is the race card and they're waving it like a burning flag.

It's the best place for seeking interracial love and open opportunities for you to meet the attractive singles and treat you like a king or Queen.

Hard to understand this injustice. What kind of country do we want to live in?
One where PROVEN MURDERERS like Troy Davis pay for their crimes.
Rot in hell, Troy Davis, you murdering piece of sh1t.
@Justice Now!
So, do you view yourself as a higher power who can determine the innocence of another human being, or just act like you can?
I let the five layers of court with te facts make the judgements. Sice the Supreme Court also did, I will sleep well knowing a cop killer is gone.

Leftism is a mental disease
nah nah nah nah
hey hey hey
good bye cop killer
Rest in peace, Troy Davis. Innocent or guilty, you are in my prayers.
I sincerely hope this case does not end up joining the countless other cases of wrongful execution. That is the main reason why I do not support execution; you can never regain a life that was taken.
I hope so too. That would be a shame.
What wrongful executions? I must have missed that story because I am sure the lame stream media would have had a field day with that one.
Have you really never heard of any cases of wrongful execution?
I'm sure you're forgetting–

Those are 10 of the most famous ones, and I remember hearing about 9 of them.
He was convicted, he was given DUE process. All the way to the supreme court. He was still found guilty. Stop thinking he was anything less. Sweet dreams
I don't think it should be about this particular man being executed as it should be about us questioning our use of the death penalty. I think the death penalty needs to be reserved for the most extreme cases like the cold-blooded murder of a child, or a hate crime or a desecration of a corpse. It needs to be done in a way that proves the person who is dying is indeed a serious risk the safety of the public and in a way that ensures that there are no further questions of his guilt or innocence.
We have seen two executions tonight, the first was Lawrence Brewer who died because he committed a depraved act of murder against an innocent person. In Troy Davis' case, if the victim were a police officer in the line of duty, I would without a doubt support his death penalty. But let's face it, this man has had many years and attempts to appeal his case, if he were truly innocent or any doubts about his conviction he would have been granted a retrial. Many prisoners play the martyr card in the end in order to garner sympathy in hopes political pressure will force a stay. A polygraph is not a detectable measure used in a court of law, why should it be used in an appeal? I think he committed the crime but I don't think he necessarily fits the profile of someone who deserves the death penalty. I think his rights to due process were properly used and I think both sides are trying to skewer this event to fit their agendas. I side with neither. In the end, I believe the only lesson learned here is that we need to used better discretion in who we deal death to.
desecration of a corpse deserves the death penalty? are you serious? the person's already dead...
I meant if someone murdered another person and THEN desecrated their corpse. I was thinking along the lines of someone like Jeffery Dahmer when writing that.
Personally, ou are convicted by DNA at a minimum, and given the death penalty, you should DIE within a week. Nothing more, nothin less.
He's burning in hell
