    Williams had been sentenced to death for killing a construction worker in Philadelphia in 1988. Williams, who is Black, had said he wanted to kill a white person because a white person had put him in jail in a robbery case, the Associated Press reported.

    What a piece of shit.

      I wouldn’t believe a summary from the Inquirer or any capitalist media on the prison state. They routinely recycle copaganda without remorse.

      But, even if dude did commit this crime, this country supposedly (lol) forbids cruel and unusual punishment. This case unmasks the reality and underlying fascism behind locking millions of people in cages. It’s literally the worst prison culture in the history of humanity.

      The state is truly a piece of shit.
