troy davis

SPEAK OUT Woke up this morning troubled about the Troy Davis situation. A black man put to death after being in jail over 20 years falsely accused of killing a police officer with evidence that he could have been innocent . To me this was a statement declaring that racism is alive in well . As the people begged for clemency the judge showed no remorse to this man who was begging to be heard . Animus was in the families heart of the victim , how can one expect true justice when a man is put to death after being told he may be the wrong guy ? This is truly outrageous , how can you consolidate unstable evidence? The family was impatient and cried out saying they now can rest knowing that the accuser is dead . There is never to little time to apply the skill obtain over years of studies to prosecute the right person. This was a belligerent act and signs of laziness . when did it become ok to just put people to death. I pray that their hearts will truly be trouble about the situation knowing that they may have killed the wrong guy but unfortunately its to late for Troy Davis . where are my civil rights leaders. Martin Luther king says “our lives begins to end the day we become silent “ so why doesn’t president Obama have anything to say about this . How much longer will we let this go on . How much longer will we be judge reprehensibly . Justice begins in us we are the change needed in this world but its up to us to SPEAK OUT
