hughlh - "You can say they deserve to die, but the key moral question is 'Do we deserve to kill?'" -- Helen Prejean
Mike Oles - Mourning for America tonight. This shouldn't happen here... And then I saw a slick pr ad for tar sand oil. Climate change or death penalty, it's time to be organized and start winning all of these struggles.
Thom Dawkins - To (poorly, unfairly) paraphrase an acquaintance: We need mercy always, and tonight, we settled for justice. In the process, we've let ourselves become hardened and unjust.
julieclawson - Today, on the Intl Day of Peace, the US blocked Palestinian statehood, executed 2 men, arrested Wall Street protestors and bombed Libya.

tamrenb - There is another Troy Davis in a cell somewhere in America. Pray for him.

NickKristof - When smart people debate whether or not a man should be executed, that's a good reason not to execute him. #TroyDavis.
PastorBradS - MacPhail family, my heart aches for your lost, but the death of another human being won't bring you peace. Only Christ can. #toomuchdoubt
amaeryllis - I really don't understand the eagerness to execute. Justice is served at conviction, beyond that is just a test of our humanity.
tomtomorrow - rt @barryeisler Weird that the same people who don't trust govt to administer health insurance do trust it to put people to death.
