Only Nazis kill people in cold blood.
Only Nazi nations support having a death penalty.
Do you support the death penalty?
If so, look in the mirror. Take a good hard long look at a Nazi. That's what
a Nazi looks like. YOU. Doesn't matter if you're Jewish. You're still of
the same mentality of a Nazi if you want others killed in cold blood.

Barbara Christian, the mother of Morales' victim, said she was angry and
disappointed by yet another postponement, which prison officials said would
last indefinitely.
"We just want to get this out of our heads and out of our lives," said
Christian. "The whole justice system, it's ridiculous... The victims are
going through more pain than the murderer."

Barbara, I have the following to say to you:
You will never get over what that man did to your daughter. Never.
He is a monster for doing that.
You will never "move on" from this. It'll always be with you.
What happens to the killer should be divorced from your mind. Leave it in
the hands of God, if you believe in God. Or leave it to the Universe, if you
prefer that metaphor.
Just let it go what happens to him. It's not your problem anymore.

One of Morales' attorneys, Ben Weston, said the delay "goes a long way
toward demonstrating the state doesn't have its ducks in a row for humanely
killing a human being. They haven't figured out how to do it."

There is no way to humanely kill a man in cold blood.
It's wrong.
It's wrong what he did to the 17yo girl.
It's wrong to kill him.
A wrongful death cannot be rectified. It's not undoable. It's not atoneable.
I wonder how long it will take before Americans realise that having the
death penalty is a human rights violation?
Time to grow the FUCK up as a NATION, America!
You're behind South Africa even.

Doctors' Doubts Put Off Calif. Execution

SAN QUENTIN, Calif. - A convicted killer's execution was postponed for the
second time in less than a day amid continuing concerns over the
constitutionality of the state's lethal injection policy.

An hour before Michael Morales was to be strapped to a gurney in the death
chamber at San Quentin Prison, officials called off the execution, saying
they could not comply with a judge's recent order to have a medical provider
administer the fatal dose of barbiturate.
"We were not able to find a licensed professional that was willing to inject
medication intravenously, ending the life of a human being," San Quentin
spokesman Vernell Crittendon said Tuesday evening.
Morales, who was sent to death row for torturing, raping and murdering a
17-year-old girl, originally was supposed to be executed just after midnight
Monday. The warden had to suspend that plan when a pair of anesthesiologists
who were hired to make sure Morales did not feel any pain balked at the last
minute.
Both snags stemmed from a federal judge's order requiring the state to
change the way it carries out lethal injections. Like 35 other states,
California in the past gave its prisoners three separate drugs — one to
relax them, another to paralyze them and a third to stop their hearts.
Ruling earlier this month on a defense motion that the procedure ran afoul
of the Eighth Amendment's ban on cruel and unusual punishment, U.S. District
Judge Jeremy Fogel gave officials a choice: either bring in doctors to
ensure Morales was properly anesthetized, or skip the usual paralyzing and
heart-stopping drugs and execute him with an overdose of a sedative.
The state initially elected to go with the first option, but ran into
trouble when the two anesthesiologists backed out. They said they were
uncomfortable taking a more active role in the execution because they might
have to order more sedative if the initial dose did not put Morales
completely out.
Prison officials rescheduled the execution for Tuesday night after settling
on the second choice — killing Morales with a single injection of the
sedative. No other state executes inmates under that procedure, which would
take about half an hour to work compared to about 10 minutes with the
three-drug method.
Fogel approved that plan Tuesday afternoon, but said the sedative must be
administered in the execution chamber by a person who was licensed by the
state to inject medications intravenously, a group that includes doctors,
nurses, dentists and other medical technicians.
Yet with only hours to go before the death warrant on Morales expired at
11:59 p.m., San Quentin could not find a licensed professional despite
"exploring all the options available," Crittendon said.
Barbara Christian, the mother of Morales' victim, said she was angry and
disappointed by yet another postponement, which prison officials said would
