Now what that has to do with Kyle Borman is anybody’s guess. Are we supposed to excuse what he did, just because he fucked himself up with drugs? Well, I did a lot of drugs in my lifetime – I’m 50-years-old and have only been clean about 7 years – and I id some shitty things too, and you know what. No one ever gave me a break, I had to accept responsibility for everything I did. And that’s exactly the way it should have been.

Getting fucked up doesn’t mitigate in any way the things we do under the influence, and I have no patience with people like you who try to say that it does. So if you don’t like what I’m saying, You can go fuck yourself – you’re speaking from ignorance, I’m speaking from experience.

As for your threats, you aren’t the only one with a gun – the truth is that making those kinds of threats on the Internet are stupid, childish, and laughable. You don’t seem like the type to find anyone with just an IP address, if you could even get that. Consider this some friendly advice Steve: there are a lot of crazy fucks out in cyberland. God knows I deal with them all the time running this blog. Making threats accomplishes nothing, and if you piss off the wrong crazy, it can be very bad for you.

If you fucks said any of this shit about my brother or friend to my face, id shoot you myself….after beating the living piss out of you. So my advice….get a life or lose it. got a rope?’

Please feel free to test it first to make sure it completely snaps your stupid neck….

‘good thing none of you ever blacked out before and did something stupid, cuz i sure have. I ran over a basketball hoop because nobody gave me a ride home from a party’

Explains why your ranting on here also. I still think your in that continuous blackout though..

And just because I’m not in a good mood this morning, I believe in free speech, so bring it on fucktard, come find me…

In Texas right now there are men on death row for selling crack cocaine, which shows that racism still exist and will never go away no matter how much we try to sugar coat it.

This is an often repeated, out and out fabrication.

Frank Moore was originally arrested on a cocaine selling charge but he killed two people with an illegal firearm outside of a San Antonio club. He was executed on January 21st 2009, because his claim that killing someone with an illegal firearm was in fact self-defense.

1. He was a convicted felon who sold Cocaine so should never have had a gun
2. The altercation he had with the two men beforehand was a drug deal gone bad.
3. The defense of private property in self defense does not cover criminal gains.

These were the findings of a jury and the lower appeals courts. The Supreme Court refused to hear his case. Casting this as the reasonable argument that Crack Cocaine offenders are prosecuted more heavily than pure cocaine users, is incorrect since the key aspects in this case are murder, not the drug the convicted murderer chose to use. He was on death row because he was a murderer. He chose to be a murderer because of his association with Crack Cocaine. Had he been a law abiding citizen or successfully regained his right to own a firearm, and been protecting himself or his legal property from harm when he shot both men in Texas that night, he’d have been within his rights and cleared of all charges by a jury of his peers.

The second, oft-cited death-row inmate is Dominique Green, written about in Thomas Cahill’s book A Saint on Death Row. Green was a burglar gone bad, who killed one of his burglary victims trying to get money for drugs. It was after his conviction, while awaiting the death penalty, that Green began to convince his fellow death row inmates to forgive those who convicted them, the families of their victims and seek peace with their actions and deeds. These are noble things, but I disagree with Desmond Tutu, who believes these actions should end the requirement for the death penalty in his proceedings and others. This forgiveness is brotherly, and because he claimed his crime, apologized sincerely and sought forgiveness reasonably, I actually hope he found peace with his creator and salvation. That said, I believe his life was reasonably forfeit, I believe in the death penalty, and I think his death was justifiable and reasonable.

There are huge exceptions to this policy. You argument can hold water, in that Black men are executed more often than white men, but not that the justice system is merely racially charged. While race plays a part, I believe it’s fairly easy to prove that money plays a larger part. With an expensive defense, prosecution and judges involved in the process are more likely to fear the repercussions of their actions and tread more carefully. With an expensive defense, any mistake made on the part of the prosecution is more likely to result in freedom. Prosecutors are often good natured men and women who choose the life because it’s hard work that needs doing, but sometimes they face so many pressures that they fail their clients(the people of the United States) and make mistakes.

To the crack versus cocaine debate, the largest issue here is the cascade of problems caused by the sale and handling of these drugs. Crack is a drug of convenience, and as such its impact on a community and its “surprising” relationship to murders has made the population less than accepting of its users, dealers and abusers. Cocaine related murders are just as bad, but they don’t have the added stigma of Crack cocaine, which has been so sensationalized by popular media. I agree that the criminalization should be a dispassionate comparison of quantity, but do not fault juries for equating Crack with negative sentiments.

In short, while I decry your brother’s execution and do not yet know enough details about his murder, I will research what I can and offer you a response on it. To merely call the judicial system racially motivated fails to realize what the judicial system really is. A system that can be refreshed through honest and reasonable participation. If the system is broken due to race, the solution is to repair it, not to merely decry the racial aspect of it while people who are black and white kill people. The call should be to insure that men and women who kill people continue to be removed from the streets, and in many cases are executed so they can never harm another person.
