This will be short. It could be quite long, but this month many others have spoken of this more eloquently, more passionately than I.
Troy Davis was executed in Georgia September 21, 2011. I do not approve of capital punishment. The number one reason is that no man should have the right to take another man's life. This case highlights the other reason: it's too hard to prove a man's guilt beyond a shadow of a doubt.
The death penalty should be abolished. America has no right to object to human rights violations in other countries while we are guilty of our own abuses. We should be leading the world to a better place, not dragging it down to hell's level.
