  • Actually China incarcerates more of it's people than any other industrialized country. China has no rule of law and its prisons and labor camps are filled with political prisoners. China also murders its prisoners and sells their organs for the lucrative transplant market without consent.

  • The government ought not to be in the business of killing people, innocent or guilty. We need to abolish the death penalty AND we need to reduce the amount of poor and minorities in prison. The U.S. incarcerates more of it's people than any other industrialized country. Why is that?

  • The state of Texas has killed eight innocent people. There is no excuse for that. People are not equally represented in the court of law because of money. Money talks, poor people walk death row. I wish you had won the election. You had my vote.

  • Another excellent video about the disinherited voices in our country that don't have a vote. So, as I said in another comment, when we vote we are also voting for the disenfranchised. Our vote represents so many more people than just me.

Description: I don't know if Texas ever executed an innocent man. I know we never killed a rich one.
