I'll Take A Bullet!

A condemned man has no other choice but to take a fast death or a quick death.

It's not like its a contest on which way you want to die....

State sanctioned lynching is back in America.

Richard B. Moore, 57 is the first state intern who is going to face the choice of execution methods after a law went into effect in 2021.

The South Carolina man has only a few weeks left before the death card is issued towards him. Now he will now face a death by a firing squad. If he opted out, he would have had the electric seat.

Moore was convicted of killing a store clerk in 1999. He decided that he rather go out like that.

He said that the decision was fucked up but he rather make a message to the inhumane ways state governments choose to impose the death card.

"I believe this election is forcing me to choose between two unconstitutional methods of execution, and I do not intend to waive any challenges to electrocution or firing squad by making an election."

He was convicted of killing James Mahoney in Spartanburg at a convenience store.

The state has ran out of the blend of death drugs so they decided to go back to the old ways of handling execution.

Moore's death sparks the decision of how death is carried. Back in 2010, Ronnie Gardner was given the same type of fate by the Utah Department of Corrections. 

Now Moore's lawyers are asking for the state supreme court and U.S. Supreme Court to delay or halt the execution. Given that his time is only limited to two weeks and it appears that the state's Republican governor is not willing to commute the death, it's unlikely he'll get out of this situation.

South Carolina governor Karen McMaster like many of the Republican governors are trying to push culture war issues into the 2022 midterm elections. They are passing state laws to clog up the federal courts.

Many of these culture war legislations are trying to energize the Republican vote. The governors are daring President Joe Biden and Democrats to challenge their legislations. The Supreme Court is going to rule on some major decisions in June and their decision could have lasting effects on civil rights, gun laws, healthcare, women's rights, immigration, the use of presidential powers, voting rights and due process.

Conservatives want state sanctioned lynching.

Every community in the United States will eventually have a legacy. A legacy of tragedy. Gun violence and COVID-19 will affect your town, your family and your life. So I don't want to hear that bullshit about how gun reform is taking away your rights to own firearms. 

I don't want to hear that protesting against police killing people of color is hate on cops in general. I don't want to hear talk about the coronavirus being a myth. 

When you hear folks say "gun rights," what they really mean is that its white privilege.  

I don't want to hear folks say masks and vaccine mandates impede their freedoms. It prevents a deadly outbreak from spreading. If you want to die from the coronavirus, that's on you.

I don't want to hear the shit about guns saving lives. Cause a bullet does not have eyes and it's always likely gonna hit a target. These folks seem to not get it. These incidents are a tragic part of American history. Thoughts and prayers and your heart going out to the victims is not enough. It quite frankly is an insult.

President Joe Biden is trying to curb gun violence. However, he has no support from Republicans. Most Democrats and America are for gun control measures. However the two Democrats in the Senate refuse to change the filibuster rules and its holding us back. 

The National Rifle Association is always pushing against it. They will not relinquish from the narrative that guns are not saving lives. The Republicans aided by a fickle junk food media are openly encouraging anarchy and disruption in a desperate attempt for the Republicans to win back Congress and the White House. These agitators are calling for Biden to curb crime but will not help him. They want more guns on the street. It makes no sense.

So in closing, expect more.

The website Officer Down is a memorial to those who were killed in the line of duty. Those who don't get their names mentioned in the junk food media. Also the website the National Gun Violence Memorial also keeps record of the many individuals killed by gun violence.
