World Day Against DP - Oct 10

October 10, 2011 is World Day Against DP.  I am against capital punishment, war without provocation, discrimination based on race and class in the justice system, criminalizing mental illness, and hypocrisy, especially among leaders. My recent anti-DP articles were published in FreeSpeakBlog, including: "Mary Neal v. USA re Racism, Conspiracy and Terrorism" at this link  http://goo.gl/eiqoI and "Troy Davis Murder Theory" at this link http://goo.gl/gfo2S  (Please Google the titles if the links fail.)

Below is a letter I received from Reprieve:

Dear Mary

This year's World Day Against the Death Penalty focuses on the inhumanity of the death penalty as a cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment.

 


Lethal injections are experimental and frequently botched – leading to an agonisingly painful death.

The first in the 'three-drug cocktail' is an anesthetic to put the prisoner to sleep; the second is a paralyzing agent to immobilize them; the third is a massive overdose of potassium chloride to stop their heart. If the first drug fails - often the dose is too low or the IV is not inserted properly - the prisoner remains awake, able to feel appalling pain but frozen in silence, paralyzed by the pancuronium. This is a botched lethal injection. The prisoner suffocates slowly until the potassium chloride shocks the heart so severely it stops beating. If the prisoner remains conscious at this point the pain is excruciating.

This is cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment
. Reprieve's Stop Lethal Injection Project has been fighting to end the trade in drugs used for executions and so far has been successful in preventing supplies from Austria, Denmark, India, Italy, Germany and the UK from reaching US death rows. Today we have called on healthcare professionals to help us debunk the myth that lethal injection is 'humane'.

Repeat of paragraph 1:  October 10, 2011 is World Day Against DP.  I am against capital punishment, war without provocation, discrimination based on race and class in the justice system, criminalizing mental illness, and hypocrisy, especially among leaders. My recent anti-DP articles were published in FreeSpeakBlog, including: "Mary Neal v.

CoIntelPro often codes my first paragraph not to show on the cell phone view, so it is repeated above the photographs.  Unfortunately, anti-DP advocacy is highly censored. In July, cyberstalkers attacked my three Blogger blogs immediately after I published articles against Senate Bill 968, the IP Protection Act, a/k/a "Internet Censorship Bill." Google, a free speech hero, reinstated the blogs in the interest of freedom of press. Senate Bill 968 proposes putting the Internet under the U.S. Justice Department, which could end online advocacy against DP and other injustices.  Regarding capital punishment, the Bible says:  For He hath looked down from the height of His sanctuary; from heaven did the LORD behold the earth; to hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death - Psalm 102:19-20.

  2. Thanks, Niila. I believe punishment should be limited to incarceration. Torture and execution are illegal in the sight of God. The only people eligible for incarceration should be those who were proved guilty beyond doubt according to a jury of their peers, unless the defendants' sense of reason was impaired by mental illness or youth. Mentally ill and juvenile defendants should never be held to the same standard of behavior as adults with sound minds. Thank you very much for your comment on this article. Please visit other articles in this blog and also those in my FreeSpeakBlog at http://FreeSpeakBlog.blogspot.com and in JusticeGagged blog at http://JusticeGagged.blogspot.com . Your opinion is very valuable to me.
