First state sponsored murder in 7 months...

It is over… the moratorium that left the US without any state and federal murders for seven months ended with the death of 53 year old William Earl Lynd. The state of Georgia murdered this man with the, by now, controversial lethal injection method. Remember folks, that method that is outlawed in a couple of states to euthanize animals… Since the U.S. Supreme Court has spoken in favor of the lethal injection method, ruling that it is not cruel and unusual, many states have immediately set execution dates. Apparently these states couldn’t wait to still their hunger for revenge and murder, taking immediate action to fill their gurney’s as fast as possible. William Earl Lynd spent 20 years of his life in prison, on death row, which can be considered a man made hell. In many countries, with some more humane and liberal thoughts on dealing with criminals, this man would have served most of his sentence. He might even rehabilitated back into society, given a chance to proof he’s a human being. Perhaps he would have spent his entire life in prison, trying to make the best of his situation…. Well, none of that because this man is dead now, killed by the executioner’s poisons on government demand.
