Bluesky Post

TranscriptAlabama suffocated a man to death in a gas chamber tonight after starving him so he wouldn't choke on his own vomit as they did it. And this was deemed perfectly legal by multiple courts in the vaunted American legal system.

That's what happens when you value institutions over people.

The problem with that is that the government decided I did a crime. A pretty bad one. I didn't do it. There's no convincing anyone that I didn't do it even though there's zero evidence(because I didn't do it). Now I have a felony.

I'm certain this happens to anyone the police decide not to like.

I definitely have a problem with that and wrongful convictions, this is a valid criticism.

It's nice to see someone take criticism well.
