Cynthia McKinney: Witness to an Execution

Last Thursday, while Ralph Nader, Bob Barr and Chuck Baldwin were debating in Cleveland, Cynthia McKinney was acting as witness to the execution of another innocent man in Texas - Gregory Wright, who was killed by Texas authorities at Huntsville Unit, Texas State Penitentiary, Jacksonville, Texas.

This video says it all...Not only is this penalty babaric!! But also what right does any state have, to also punish the inmate's family?? They hav done no wrong. Yet they are being punished in the worse kind of way.
Texas didnt give Greg a chance, and its not the first time either, and sad to say; it wont be the last.

However, we have to keep fighting...

How do you figure the inmate's family is being punished? Why not think about the VICTIMS family instead. They truly did nothing wrong and have been punished far beyond the family of the inmate.

Everyone gets their fair chance and if they can't bend the rules to get their butts off the row then it's time for the dirt nap.

Don't like the system? Why not run for office and try to get it changed instead of pissing and moaning about the poor INMATE? They caused their own demise.

Hi

I know all about being the victims family thankyou. I know all. But state sanctioned revenge isnt the answer..Oh yeh, I think about them too, we all do. There is another option; prison for life. Why stoop to their level.
Besides; mistakes are being done all the time. Look at the number of exonorees, and the numbers registered at innocence projects. Is that acceptable??
We are only human, humans does mistakes and have flaws.
If you think they are getting a fair chance of being aquitted you are sadly naive..You need learning more. Would you bee too happy admitting that you re mistakes led to a person's ruined life, or execution??
But hey , I ve been naive too. Being pro dp too...Before learning...
No amount of innocent aquitted or innocent put to death is acceptable.

I agree with the death penalty and think it should definetly be used in a very as need basis but the people who commit these crimes deserve what is coming to them unlike the people who were bruttaly murdered and had a world ahead of them. Instead you feel sorry that some one is being unhumanly killed?????????again what about the victims.KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK TEXAS & FLORIDA

Thank God for Texas! If he was innocent then the evidence would have shown it. Even if he didn't do the murder himself, he was involved by knowing it and not going to the police after he "found her and tried to help her" after John Adams stabbed her and cut her throat. Let it be witness to everyone, if you are ever just an "innocent by stander and hear, watch or find that someone has murdered someone you immediately call or go to the police. You NEVER "cover" for someone else!

Cynthia McKinney is an anti-semite. I'm not impressed with her or Americans for that matter. Only places like China, Iran and Saudi Arabia execute people. Nice company.

I hope Greg was innocent, but I think the only people who will ever really know what happened that day were the victim, Greg, John Adams and God. I knew Greg very personally. Everything that is being said about him is a laugh. No one has talked about how violent Greg was. Memphis police officers testified at his trial as to the brutal beating he gave his wife. He was, from the time he was a teenager, a very violent man. Just ask his friends that he grew up with in Middlesboro, Kentucky. They will tell you about the true Greg Wright.
