I think I'm going to be sick. I felt this way when we invaded Iraq.

[librechik]

and while New Orleans drowned. My country has failed itself.

[Parker CA]

1. I agree. Sick to my stomach. Disgusting feeling. nt

[Gregorian]

2. Absolutely. Apathy. Lack of empathy. Selfishness.

Like I just posted on another thread, when Troy Davis is dead we will still not know who killed the police officer. And we won't stop asking. Nothing is being served by this, least of all justice.

[WhoIsNumberNone]

5. Nothing will be served...

... except the getting-away-scott-free of the person who actually did it. This case will be closed forever once Troy Davis is dead.

[ixion]

3. Yep, I can relate.

it's a sad statement on what 'really matters' in our society.

[pacalo]

4. A feeling that the sense of justice in us all has been violated.

And we can't do a damn thing to stop it.

[mod mom]

6. shameful.

[Agony]

7. Sick we be...

[tblue]

8. The head of Amnesty is crying.

Oh no please!!!!

[Raksha]

9. I know exactly how you feel. I hate the sense of shame most of all...

except for knowing there is NOTHING I can do about it.

[Agony]

10. There was just a stay! as reported on DemocracyNow!

[WhoIsNumberNone]

14. Premature on the stay-

They've given him a temporary reprieve while the Supreme Court thinks it over.

[Neurotica]

11. Feeling very sad, too

I was eating dinner with my sons and we were watching CNN and discussing the whole situation. I kept crying. It's just so wrong. I think my younger son (13) may be interested in working with the Innocence Project in the future.

[bigwillq]

12. Why?

:shrug:

[uppityperson]

15. Justice fails sometimes, and this is one of those times. It isn't fair and isn't good.

Troy Davis

[bigwillq]

16. You're right.

It's sad.
And not fair.
Thanks for filling me in.
:hug:

[uppityperson]

17. Posts can be cryptic. At least that is what I think it's about.

[bigwillq]

18. The OP should've have done what you did.

Just two words:

Troy Davis

That helps a great deal when folks do that.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. America is a fucking embarrassment.
