This black woman, when she got a traffic ticket, was terrified: she knew that the thug could murder her, lie, and get away with it.

Jeff Wood will soon be executed in Texas for a murder that everyone agrees he did not commit, because of "accomplice liability".

The article argues that it is wrong to apply accomplice liability to the death penalty. My position is different:

• Accomplice liability for a more serious crime (such as murder during a robbery) should apply only when the accomplice is related directly to that more serious crime, not when some other participant does it on his own sole initiative.
• Jeff Wood had no intention to commit robbery that day, so he was not an accomplice anyway.
• Cooperating in a robbery under duress, in response to a death threat, should not be a crime at all.
• The death penalty is inherently unjust.

Three DNC leading officials have resigned due to the scandal of bias against Sanders.

Many middle-class Venezuelan women are choosing to get sterilized because there is a shortage of birth control supplies.

It is already true around the world that "having a child now [probably] means making him suffer", except for the rich planet-roasters.

A group of thugs called the "skullcap crew" terrorized housing projects in Chicago for years, beating up people who annoyed them, and received only praise from the thug department.

We must punish the individual thugs responsible when the city pays damages on their behalf. And don't believe the testimony of a thug, because they are habituated to what they call "testilying".
