Savannah is rural Georgia which is mostly white, and Davis was black.

Douglas County, where Crow committed murder, borders Atlanta which is mostly black.

A comparison of how often the “death penalty” is given at trial compared to the skin colour of the defendant and victim:

I wouldn’t doubt that Crow “found gawd” and used it as an excuse to save his neck, vis-a-vis Terry Nichols.

“In related news, Georgia officials formally announced that the state had officially exhausted its supply of shame. ‘We have to face facts,” said one staffer speaking on condition of anonymity ‘Georgia just doesn’t have any shame whatsoever. Completely out.’

“Plans to request a shame bailout from Congress was complicated when GOP House leaders were discovered not to have any shame either. Requests for comment from John Boehner were answered by him flipping us the bird and clubbing a welfare recipient to death with the Bill of Rights wrapped around the Tax Code.”

I think the point Mr. Laden is trying to make is that here is a clear cut case of someone committing a terrible crime that was let off. Yet several cases (Troy Davis most recently), likely innocent people have been executed in spite of the doubt (with notable people such as G.W. Bush and Rick Perry seemingly proud of the fact that they refused to commute their sentences despite the strong doubt). Check out http://www.innocenceproject.org/ or http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/

SAMCRO?

I’m almost certain I’ve seen that episode.
