Comments on: An American Sentence (for Troy Davis) http://basotho.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/troy-davis/ The destiny of a people Fri, 04 Dec 2009 01:30:34 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: sokari http://basotho.wordpress.com/2008/09/23/troy-davis/#comment-285 sokari Tue, 23 Sep 2008 19:33:02 +0000 http://basotho.wordpress.com/?p=694#comment-285 This is so disturbing, so not right - knowing that any human being and in this case an innocent man will die tonight at 7pm EST killed by the state. Years ago I watched the documentary "Seven Days in May" which will forever remain in my memory. I watched it with my kids who were young at the time but I felt it important they should know how injustice works and hopefully grow up to recognise it's ugly head and stand against it whenever and wherever. This action of executing people by the state is obscene - why because it is legalised murder.
