It's cruel irony that today Troy Anthony Davis dies.
He and others like him symbolize a corrupt system too broken to fix.
They also highlight the shame of state-sponsored murder, whether on death row or from missiles, bombs, shells, or assassinations.
It's America's favorite pastime, killing for imperial conquest, vengeance, sport, or on death row by administering lethal injections either manually or by pushing buttons.

State-sponsored murder never achieves justice.
It's always cruel and barbaric punishment.
AI calls it "the ultimate denial of human rights....in the name of justice" always denied.
