If someone goes into a shopping mall in pursuit of one of their enemies and opens fire on a crowd of people and guns down a bunch of innocent people in a shopping mall, they’ve murdered those people. When the Obama administration sets a policy where patterns of life are enough of a green light to drop missiles on people or to send in AC130s to spray them down…

If you go to the village of Al-Majalah in Yemen, where I was, and you see the unexploded clusterbombs and you have the list and photographic evidence, as I do—the women and children [who] represented the vast majority of the deaths in this first strike that Obama authorized on Yemen—those people were murdered by President Obama, on his orders, because there was believed to be someone from Al Qaeda in that area. There’s only one person that’s been identified that had any connection to Al Qaeda there. And 21 women and 14 children were killed in that strike and the U.S. tried to cover it up, and say it was a Yemeni strike, and we know from the Wikileaks cables that David Petraeus conspired with the president of Yemen to lie to the world about who did that bombing.

It’s murder—it’s mass murder—when you say, ‘We are going to bomb this area’ because we believe a terrorist is there, and you know that women and children are in the area. The United States has an obligation to not bomb that area if they believe that women and children are there.

I’m sorry, that’s murder.

Jeremy Scahill - Obama Strikes In Yemen Constitute ‘Murder’ (via laliberty)

I should point out that the Romney administration would continue the drone strikes

because that is what our country does

it kills people

I mean come on why do I even gotta say this.

“I’d rather kill a hundred innocent people than let one guilty person walk free”

bethefoodoflove:

If you kill an innocent person for the crimes of another, you commit murder and you let the guilty person walk free, you dense fascist fuck.

Can I just say that I believe the exact opposite of this?

oh god oh god oh god

I am on edge right now about this Troy Davis thing.

For those of you who don’t know, Troy was accused of killing a police officer. There was no physical evidence (only hearsay) and since then, 7 out of 9 of the original witnesses have recanted. Troy’s death sentence has been repealed four times, once by the Supreme Court itself. There is no logic to saying that he has to die.

Oh, and this murder occurred in 1989. It has been 22 years since the police officer’s death and Georgian courts are still trying to kill a man who has been falsely accused. Why? Because he’s black. No, really. That’s it.

And now news sources are starting to crop up that say the parole boards are denying him this appeal.

A man who was accused at 21 of a murder he never witnessed has been living on death row for all of these years. It’s disgusting.

We can try to help by signing this petition but it might be too late. This man is going to be murdered.
