The state of Missouri is set to execute Marcellus, even though literally NO ONE with a stake in the outcome of the case—not even the prosecutor nor the victim's family— wants him to die. Learn More Here

CNN — [Breaking news update, published at 7:18 p.m. ET]

Marcellus Williams, whose murder conviction was questioned by a prosecutor, died by lethal injection Tuesday evening in Missouri after the US Supreme Court denied a stay.

Cowardly country full of cutthroat murderers.

the crimes of this guilty land etc etc

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 weeks ago

After careful deliberation, the honorable ghouls of the Supremacist Court agreed that the State should hurry up and execute the innocent man already.

Based guerrilla Wikipedia edits today.

Known and proud murderer Michael Lynn Parson of 100 Madison Street, Jefferson City, MO 65101 is a real piece of shit, huh?

From the governor who oversaw the George Floyd bullshit, yeah, this is about what I'd expect.

Bet the nerds on Natopedia reverted it for WP:WEITFUIGJAIKF. AKA the "don't tell the truth about anything American without 2000000 sources" clause.

So is the point of this murder just to murder a black man in a legal way?

I think that's enough internet for today for me. I have nothing funny or clever to say about this and something inside me is still somehow shocked by such a level of petty murderous hatred.

[–] [email protected] 57 points 3 weeks ago

Same. I have pretty much no words except for my hatred for this country.

Those of us with love for humanity will never really be able to internalize evil

[–] [email protected] 95 points 3 weeks ago (4 children)

This is devastating. Reminder that Dems took abolishing the death penalty off their part platform. Literally every single day there is another horror that convinces me that the America of 2024 is no different to the America of the Trail of Tears.

one of Clinton's political moves during his 92 campaign was to go back to his home state to sit and watch a mentally-disabled man be executed to show he was "tough on crime."

the Supreme KKKourt is allowing it: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/marcellus-williams-execution-supreme-court-stay-denied/

Then, hours before Williams was set to be executed, then-Gov. Eric Greitens called it off and appointed a panel of five retired judges to investigate the DNA evidence. The board, however, was dissolved by Parson in June 2023 and never issued its final report.

So the supreme court just declared the state can murder an innocent token to save it's own face / ego.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 3 weeks ago (5 children)

They're into that kind of thing

Herrera v. Collins, 506 U.S. 390 (1993), was a case in which the Supreme Court of the United States ruled by 6 votes to 3 that a claim of actual innocence does not entitle a petitioner to federal habeas corpus relief by way of the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment.

Or, as the Onion has put it, "Supreme Court Overturns Right v. Wrong."

[–] [email protected] 82 points 3 weeks ago

Prosecutor: I reject the death penalty

Victims family: I reject the death penalty

Judge: I don't!

Isn't there someone you didn't forget to ask?

sadness-abysmal A white person recently told me that systemic racism against POC doesn't exist anymore and that the roles have reversed to white people being the truly oppressed race nowadays.

At this point, I sincerely wish that were true... gun-unity

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh no I can't say the n-word anymore, truly I now know what slavery must have felt like. ooooooooooooooh

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 weeks ago

"Okay, but have you considered that a POC called me a anti-cracker-aktion, and nobody batted an eye when they did it? The fact that I can't get the same degree of chill when I unleash some gamer speak means that anti-white racism is bringing us down on a grand, major systemic level."

First the came for the hwites, and I did not speak up because its about fucking time

There's additional context that people might not be aware.

He is Muslim.

The state didn't just murdered a Black man but murdered a Black Muslim man. And from the interview between Black Myths Podcast and an organizer trying to get him out, he was a devout Muslim too, serving as an imam for the Muslim inmates. This means that his jailers are also aware of his Muslim faith. Besides the US just being foundationally anti-Black, there is also an Islamophobic component to this as well, which will only intensify as the Zionist entity continues to collapse on itself.

Marcellus is probably going to die. There's barely any hope left, unfortunately, and the best that we can do of this is to use this to organise a even harder protest, burn the town and radicalise the crowd.

The Burgerland legalized murder of a black man through the very institution that claims to provide justice. And this slippery slope is a "stepping" stone to cull PoCs.

To the governor Michael Parson and the entire Missouri supreme court:

Isn't there some other likely innocent guy about to be executed? Does this happen more than we think and the media is just paying a bit more attention now?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah this shit happens all the time in this vile country john-brown

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 weeks ago

Yes there is another one scheduled for October. An innocent Autistic father wrongfully accused of murdering his terminally ill daughter. Here's the link to his case.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 3 weeks ago

If it's the case I'm thinking of, it's already too late, they killed him Friday. But it might not be the same, unfortunately we kill innocent people somewhat regularly.

America is not a country, it is a death cult with a standing army.

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 weeks ago

Rest in power, fuck this stupid ass country.

[–] [email protected] 46 points 3 weeks ago

This was a lynching, same exact shit as the klan hanging black men from a tree by a burning cross

[–] [email protected] 43 points 3 weeks ago

Don't even have words. It's so cruel and senseless.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 weeks ago

I wish I were religious so that I could earnestly believe that there is a special place in hell for all those involved in this travesty of justice. May this country rot.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 weeks ago

They murdered him :(

[–] [email protected] 38 points 3 weeks ago

i hope i can take a part in destroying this nation

[–] [email protected] 37 points 3 weeks ago

Death to America, there is nothing to be done to redeem this country but a total destruction of it

[–] [email protected] 35 points 3 weeks ago

amerikkka

I don't want to hear another anglo ever ask me why I'd rather watch this country burn than organize with a cracker again. The crimes of this guilty land will not be washed away but by settler blood.
