Oh, c’mon. If the government is “incompetent” to carry out the death penalty, it’s only because they don’t carry it out anywhere near often enough. It’s not as though they have a track record of executing scores of people who shouldn’t be executed.

“Given that this isn’t going to happen, perhaps one of you death penalty opponents can explain to me why anyone appearing in the video, including the guy who made it (but excluding the victim, obviously), should be breathing.”

Hey… I hope these people have the most painfull and excrutiating deaths imaginable. They deserve it 1000 times over.

But I dont support the death penalty because theres nobody competent to administer it. Maybe once the government can balance a budget or repair the potholes in the road in front of my house, then Ill support them being the arbitrars of life and death.

Too bad we cant pour gas on them and watch them burn to death. The people who watched and did nothing should die painfully as well. If you dont have the balls to stand up and try to do something, I totally understand that, but then walk away and phone the cops… dont stand there and watch. If you do… you are an EQUAL PERPETRATOR to the ones commiting the act in question.

I appreciate the update… I saw the video a while ago, and wondered if the pieces of shit are still alive and free.

I openly and strongly encourage anybody who runs into any of these people to promptly slaughter them. Id even put up a reward for their heads except Im between paychecks.

The woman survived the beating, but her face is disfigured, she lost sight in one eye, sustained some brain damage, and her right hand shakes constantly. She had to undergo three separate surgeries to reconstruct her face and she has 18 titanium plates and numerous screws holding her facial bones together, esp. around her left eye socket which was basically destroyed. I am her cousin and she does not want to be identified, so I will respect her wishes.

One thing is false, she did not snitch on anybody. She thinks she was attacked because she was a white woman in the company of a black man. The black man used to date one of her attackers, who is the first woman you can see beating her at the beginning of the video.

This woman who got beat because she “ratted” on some people. She must be very innocent mined to help the police and then hang out in a area where so many people a anger with her. It may be that she was not aware that everyone knew. It may also be that the driver of the car intended to bring her there so she would get a beating. I cannot understand why so many people who hate her so much. I have se been many fights but never seen one like this. The man who punches her on the side hard is the worst. She could hard walk before this but he strike the blow that knocks her to the ground and then you can hear her screaming crying for help. No one makes effort to calm the situation. What goes around comes around. I not a believer in god but lets hope someone somewhere is watching. Imagine if that girl was you sister and she informed the police to protect you. All those in the video make me sick. If you wanna have a fight then pick someone who has the chance to fight back.

Sorry, on second thought “moron” was unnecessary and rude; but you actually hurt your case by misstating the facts. The stay wasn’t granted for reasons of innocence, as you suggested — it just gave people the chance to investigate those claims.

Manish, you moron:

“The reprieve was granted not out of concern that Porter might be innocent but solely because he had tested so low on an IQ test that the court was not sure he could comprehend what was about to happen to him, or why.”

Also, 50 > 48.

Apparently, so. I’m working on a follow-up entry that will explain in more detail.

Just appalling. 10 thugs attacking a defenseless woman and nobody has any integrity worth a cent to do something. It’s good the gang scum went to jail based on this woman’s testimony but a tragedy that she had to pay with her life and die in such a horrible way.
