Murder She Said

Donnerstag, Juli 19th, 2012

„Murder She Said“ is a title of a wonderful movie with Margaret Rutherford as Miss Marple.
But this title was in my mind when I read about the execution of Yokamon Hearn in Texas in the
United States of America.

„Murder I say“ is my personal opinion to this! Nothing more or less. Killing a mentally disabled
person who killed a person when he was nineteen is murder!

„18 and 19 and 20 year-olds are not considered responsible enough decision makers to drink legally,
yet they can be held fully responsible for their crimes and sentenced to the ultimate, irreversible
punishment of death.  On he one hand, we seek to protect our youth from their immaturity; on the
other we punish (and even kill) them for it.“

And on Monday they will kill the next mentally disabled man in Georgia: Warren Lee Hill…

Why is there no chance for mercy? Because they are black?

Is this the humanity of a modern, civilized country?
