Bitchfaces, how goes it with y’all? Fantastic. Same over here, unless y’all count these fucking hijinks in South Carolina, then I’m big fucking mad and getting madder by the minute.
Now, y’all know I don’t get all teary eyed about the death penalty under normal circumstances. Matter of fact, I’m an eye for an eye type of broad, and if your dumb ass earned it, your dumb ass can get it. Not with this latest bullshit out of The Cackalacki’s, though.
They put a man to death last night with zero forensic evidence, no video footage, not so much as a loose hair or fiber.
What did they have? Oh, well thank fuck y’all asked.
They had heresy. That’s it. Just some chucklehead dude who said, ‘oh, no, that was for sure Freddie Owens that was with me robbing the convenience store, why else would I say so?’
That’s it. That is gonna do it. Nothing of substance at all. Just that bullshit.
Look, I’m all for vengeance, y’all know this. I love some retribution. I’m 100% on board with all types of ten-fold repayment.
What I’m not with is state-sanctioned murder. And I’ve never seen a more blatant case of just that.
If you’ve not heard about this ode to pre-civil rights justice, allow me to introduce you to what South Carolina calls justice. Spoiler alert: there ain’t a lick of justice to be found.
In Greenville, circa 1997, single mother of 3, Irene Graves is robbed and shot to death while working a night shift at a gas station. Investigators picked up Steven Golden, pulled some interrogation tactics out of their asses, and voila. Turns out Freddie Owens was there, and he shot the clerk.
As one would imagine, Golden retracted, and it seems that was all the state had as far as evidence. Which, oddly, isn’t evidence. Like. At all.
The governor, Henry McMaster, a Republican I have voiced my distaste over prior to this incident, said ain’t a lick of clemency happening. Owens’ stay was then denied by any court his attorney could get it in front of, and not a single person to hear this tale thought, ‘maybe we need some sort of fucking evidence’.
Nah. What for?
Nope. It was just all, out balls out, let’s get this fucking party intravenously started. And now.
I don’t think we do that kinda shit around here. Even DeSantis isn’t just killing random ass dudes for the fuck of it. Well, not since he left JAG, anyway.
This is fucking absurd.
