13624, It isn't

justified in the case of the young Brothah in Texas who was executed just last year or the year before for a crime that it was not definitively proven that he had committed. It is unjustified in cases like Mumia in PA, where the evidence predominately points to his innocence, but since careers were built on his conviction, those in power are hell-bent on proceeding in the procurement of his death. It is unjustified when the majority of people on death row are Black and Brown, but statistically, Whites commit crimes punishable by death with equal frequency as Blacks. When the death penalty ceases to be used as yet another tool to eliminate non-White people at will, in order to keep us afraid, unbalanced and confused, and is distributed to "America's sons of the Heartland", as Timothy Mc Veigh has been dubbed by the press, with the same force and vengeance that it is distributed to people of color, THEN it will be ultimately justified.
