The justice system is pretty fucked up

I was pro death penalty until last night- Georgie executed an innocent man. RIP Troy Davis.

Innocent according to who? It seems like this guy had 20+ years to prove that, after having been found guilty, and could not do so. I think GA did a good thing last night. Although it should have been done sooner. Good riddance cop killer. (BTW I am sure that the original jury, the appeals board, and the parole board had better evidence to go off of than some Wiki article or stupid liberal message boards.)

Also, I am a little curious...were you just as upset about the death penalty being applied to Lawrence Brewer? Cause it seems to me, after reading a ton of "anti-death penalty" post online today, that nobody seemed to care that he was put to death yesterday as well.

If you look through this guy's posts, you will find he believes that the earth is 6000 years old, that evolution is a lie, and that leviticus should be taken 100% literally. So, I wouldn't trust his opinion on anything.

There are some really convincing arguments on these statements (sarcasm). Fundamentalists will win their arguments by outlasting you while frothing at the mouth. I had some idiot once throw me a website to convince me that evolution was a myth. The crap was based on no logic whatsoever and the guy was so stupid he couldn't even understand what he was saying, let alone what I was saying. Here's one of the million propaganda sites out there:

Please show me where I said any of that, other than the evolution thing (which by the way is just a theory, so any opinion is valid). I want examples stating I said the earth is 6000 years old and that Leviticus should be taken 100% literally. Please.

On another note, how does my belief in those things have to do with this case? You are such a trolling moron. Your anti-christian, anti-anything that isn't vetted to get you laid by a hairy-assed hippie chic is beyond pathetic.

Oh BTW, those who are actually involved in a discourse about the original topic, ignore the Troll Laser tag.

This alone discredits anything you say.

just thought i'd pull this little snippet of wisdom out of the rest of the post and give it a second look.

a theory is an attempt to explain observations. hence, darwin's theory of evolution is a theory. it is an attempt to explain the observable phenomenon known as evolution, which is itself factually proven. organisms change genetically over time inter-generationally based on environmental stimuli, we know this, we can observe it, and we can prove it.

modern treatment of infection and germ theory is founded as well on the observable phenomenon known as evolution. modern food production is also founded upon our ancestors' observations of evolution. most of our modern crops and domestic animals, for instance, are a product of millenia of engineered evolution.

any world view that rejects observable phenomena are not theories, they are rather known as the insane ramblings of a lunatic.

i'm sure you have been presented this argument before and judged it as preposterous that such a thing as evolution exists and is observable, but maybe this can reach someone else.

Are you serious? For one you spelled millennia wrong. Secondly, are you suggesting that interbreeding various livestock to achieve hardier varieties proves evolution? What a moron. If you want to prove evolution then explain how a fish became an ape, then became a human being. You can't can you. Can you assure me that if you breed two sparrows together 5 trillion times eventually you will get a giraffe? No? I guess your observable phenomenon just aren't there huh? Nice try. I think you are confusing adaption and animal husbandry with evolution. Don't feel bad. Most people who believe in evolution don't know the difference.

Now can we please get back to the original subject which is about the cop killer.

Are you retarded? There was zero DNA evidence, zero fingerprint evidence, and no murder weapon. His conviction was based on the testimony of 9 witnesses- 7 of those witnesses have recanted their testimony, saying they were coerced by police into falsely testifying. What the fuck happened to "guilty beyond a reasonable doubt?"
