Richard Perry Esq. gets a huge applause when it is mentioned how many people were killed on his watch as governor of Texas. Richard Perry Esq. wants to be president of the United States of America, and as we all know, that is a position in which one can and will kill many people more - innocent or not.
Frankly I am lost for words about Steven Woods, whom I heard about a few years ago and attached to as attachments went on Myspace. And then Myspace went out of style and yes, I forgot about him.
As far as I know this Christian anarchist who has claimed innocence all along will be killed today, September 13th, because Richard Perry Esq. will want to prove that he is tough on crime.
One of the sites dedicated to Steven Woods' case.
update 14 September 0.30 British Summer Time
Steven's corpse has been released for his family to touch it "while it is still warm".
Very unfortunate. I have just read about his beliefs. He described himself as punk rocker, anarchist, Christian, prisoner activist, vegetarian and avid reader. His heroes included Ammon Hennacy, Che Guevarra, Ayn Rand, Dorothy Day, Leo Tolstoy, Gandhi and Paulo Coelho.
ReplyDeleteTake out the words punk rocker, prisoner activist, Che Guevarra and Ayn Rand from above and I could be describing myself!
Rest in peace Steven.

I don't believe in the death penalty, and if the person who actually committed the crime has been given a life sentence it seems very inappropriate to have executed this man who at the scene of the crime, but did not carry out the killings.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand he seems to have been a drug dealer and petty criminal, so no saint.

ReplyDeleteHe never claimed to be one...
"He never claimed to be one... ", I didn't say he did. I was thinking more about the tone of the post. He seems to have been a complex, and perhaps interesting, character, but was none the less a criminal present at a murder, so not an innocent man.
ReplyDeleteThe injustice is that the person, presumably his accomplice, who committed the murder has been given a life sentence, while he was executed, or murdered by the state of Texas, if you prefer.
If anyone reads this tonight why not try to stop a further injustice and sign the Amnest petition for Troy Davis. His execution is planned for 7pm Georgia local time, tomorrow.
