Too Much Doubt To Execute!!

Troy Davis was convicted of murdering a Georgia police officer in 1991. Nearly two decades later, Davis remains on death row — even though the case against him has fallen apart.

The case against him consisted entirely of witness testimony which contained inconsistencies even at the time of the trial. Since then, all but two of the state’s non-police witnesses from the trial have recanted or contradicted their testimony.

Many of these witnesses have stated in sworn affidavits that they were pressured or coerced by police into testifying or signing statements against Troy Davis.

One of the two witnesses who has not recanted his testimony is Sylvester “Red” Coles — the principle alternative suspect, according to the defense, against whom there is new evidence implicating him as the gunman. Nine individuals have signed affidavits implicating Sylvester Coles.

An execution date for Troy Davis is scheduled for September 21, 2011.

Tomorrow. They’re going to kill him tomorrow.

This makes me feel so helpless. What can we even do? I mean, no really. What can I do?

The DA is basically the last hope.  Sign petition above. 

I am sitting in my law school in the Innocence Project office.  Our faculty advisor has been in tears all day.  I can’t even imagine what Troy’s family is going through.

Signed. It takes all of thirty seconds.

I can’t really respect that new MJB song, 25/8. In it, she’s asking for an extra hour of each day and, if that wasn’t enough, another day of each week because she seems not to feel she has enough time in either of these time periods to love the one who holds her heart. So if the sappiness wasn’t enough for you all, I have to say my outrage doesn’t even stem from that.

What she’s asking is a very bold request of the Almighty. I feel like if you’re gonna be so bold, why not take it a step further? She could ask for the extra days of the month that we all know we deserve! 

Let me attempt to illustrate my point with an alternative option to Mary’s chorus:

     I need another hour and a day and 32 days in February

     *in background* Black History Month

     So I can love 25/8/32

You ever notice how much Italians and Ricans love the Yankees? …any exceptions to the rule?

Mossville, Louisiana is a predominantly African-American community on the shores of Lake Charles. It is in Calcasieu Parish, home to 53 industrial facilities, mostly petrochemical plants. These facilities release nine million pounds of toxic chemicals into the environment each year (the manufacturers say 2.5 million pounds) Residents have three times the national average amount of dioxin in their bodies, which the federal Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry does not consider a health risk. Residents say the tests are misleading, as people from all over Calcasieu Parish were tested and Mossville residents should be tested separately. The EPA has Mossville under consideration for Superfund designation.

I wish your lyrics consisted of more punchlines and less explanation of punchlines.

Examples:

• “hang it up/flat screen” -Nicki Minaj
• “i’m on the grind/skateboard or scooter” -Big Sean
• “in the 9th inning we just tryna hit a homer/marge” -Big Sean
• “she want a yellow nigga/corn on the cob” -Tyga
• “this the fucking anthem/get it, the fucking anthem” -Kanye
• “leave em dead in the living room/get it, leave em dead in the living room” - Lil Wayne

Got it.

Your ‘wit’ would be much more appreciated by those clever enough to understand if you wouldn’t demean their intelligence with unnecessary explanations of oft simple concepts.

Please stop this. Just say what you mean then stop talking.

Thanks, Jess.

What song(s) most take you back to junior high?

[“You lack knowledge, information, inspiration, and you’re single!” <—lol called that man out!]

Pretty flawless equation.
