Troy Davis

Ammon Hennacy once said "Violence is the weapon of the weak."
How weak do we declare ourselves collectively to be when the best we can do is kill people in revenge? How much worse is it when there's substantial doubt about the culpability of the person to be murdered?

Make no mistake: capital punishment is murder performed by the state in the name of the people.

I pray tonight that the governor of Georgia does not allow the murder of Troy Davis to occur as scheduled.

I am fasting in solidarity with Troy. I encourage you to do the same.
