Troy Davis' Last Words


Watch Press Conference About Troy Davis' Last Words - Digg

@Ferkel. You say that like there has never been a history of pressure put on blacks to "conform" to others' demands on how they vote. You know better. Jim Crow was as alive then as it is now. Those who don't want to hear about "racist crap" are those who know that it weighs heavily in daily life, the justice system especially. That is an evasive attitude of avoiding truth.


As to what Officer MacPhail said to Troy Davis, it must be nothing since Davis maintained he did not kill the officer. With his last breath he adhered to his initial statements that he did not kill the man. For those who want to believe Davis killed him: he did, even if evidence were presented before their faces. And if you were there, you are an eye witness since you know he killed him - along with some of MacPhail's family members who "know." Only an eye witness can "know" beyond a shadow of a doubt. Peace.

@ Patric:  No, it wasn't.  What was wrong was the malicious act of the Republicans imposing their WILL upon others because they of course did not like the Democrat.  With all the downfalls and pitfalls Republicans have experienced, what room do they have to point mile-long fingers at others.  I agree, Bill Clinton should have apologized to America simply because he lied (if we define what they did as SEX). 


He should have apologized to Monica L. because in lying about his encounter with her, he made the woman a liar when she in fact did not lie.  On the other hand, when he said, "I did not have sex with that woman," he could have told the truth because what they did is ANYBODY's definition of what sex is.  (Isn't that the kind of reasoning on school campuses today?  I don't know if that has ever been settled.)  What he suffered because of what he did has not made him worse; as a matter of fact, it made him become more sober and HUMAN. 

There are two types of human and I suggest we sometimes mix them up.  There is a fallen human and a redeemed human, both humans but at different levels of human experience.  Therefore, the Bill Clinton that did what he did is not the same man today.  In other words, he grew up like a tree.  Here's hoping we all do because we all fall short of the glory of God, until we stop falling short and grow like trees more than ever.
