KoffietimeTweets re Troy Davis Execution Order

Whether one regards the Bible as a God's Holy Word or a book of philosophy, it is filled with wisdom that we can draw from in analyzing and resolving problems.  "Woe unto those who spread discord among the brethren," the Bible says.  I am concerned that the execution order issued for Troy Anthony Davis, a Georgia death row inmate in the world's most contested criminal law case, may give rise to racial strife - intentionally.  Executing Troy Davis concerns me for many reasons.  I believe no one should be executed, especially people whose guilt was not proved irrefutably.  Secondly, Troy Davis' execution could be the catalyst for social unrest - discord among fellow countrymen at a time when the populace must unite to address issues of urgency that negatively impact our lives on a personal and national level.  Working class people of all races are beginning to unite and resist oppression in America.  Our unity is centered around the concept that some government officials are not as responsive to the needs and desires of their constituents as they are to corporate interests.  Prioritizing corporate profits over the People has caused most of the problems that face the nation. Below is an excerpt from my article in FreeSpeakBlog, called "Diversion Needed! Let's Kill Troy Davis."

"What do American decision makers do whenever We the People begin to unite and press for social and economic justice?  They create a diversion.  The Vietnam War diverted attention and momentum from the civil rights movement when African Americans, whites and others joined together at the Poor People's March and other justice initiatives.  Today people are UNITING to protest wars without provocation, mass incarceration for prison profits, the assault on workers' rights, environmental injustice, and other problems caused by the Elite Integration of government and international corporations.  This time, the plan is to polarize the races by executing Troy Davis for an unproved murder."  The entire article is at this link:  http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2011/09/diversion-needed-lets-kill-troy-davis.html

There are flash riots happening in the Northeast.  BART police officers in San Francisco killed citizens and scrambled commuters' cellphones to prevent them filming and uploading potentially damning videos last month.  Around 12,600 people in Michigan are scheduled to lose their welfare benefits in October.  Unemployment is a major problem, but corporations and government have not stemmed the jobs flowing overseas and to prisons.  Social Security benefits for senior citizens and disabled people will be adversely affected.  Prisoners in California and Georgia staged nonviolent protests alleging cruelty, hunger, and slavery.  Undocumented workers are targeted for harsh punishment.  Senate Bill 968 is pending before Congress to place the Internet under the United States Department of Justice, which would enable Attorney General Holder to decide what can go or remain online.  People are tense, angry, distrustful, disgusted, and many have PTSD and depression.  Have you considered how many enemies we have according to officials?  Iran, Iraq, and Afghanistan were/are all threats to us, and Libya was a threat to democracy.  The Tea Party is a threat. Radical Christians are a threat.  The liberal left is a threat.  Conservatives in the GOP are threats. There are other perceived threats, including earthquakes, storms, etc.  At a time when so many Americans are extremely tense, Instead of one life in the balance, there could be many lives and our way of life in the balance this time.  I respectfully ask the Georgia Pardon and Parole Board for mercy for Troy Davis.  Give us something to cheer about together - Let there be justice.
