The tone of his voice was calm but defiant as he said his last words, “I’d like to say I am an innocent man,” he said, mentioning the three women by name. “I did not order the murders,” the report said. Higgs’ victims were Tamika Black, 19; Tanji Jackson, 21; and Mishann Chinn, 23. Higgs’ execution went forward despite his attorney, Shawn Nolan’s appeal to delay the proceeding because of Higgs’ Covid-19 diagnosis. Nolan also argued that Higgs was unfairly sentenced, since the actual gunman is serving a life sentence. Higgs’ execution was initially scheduled for the 92nd birthday of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

What bugs me is tRump has been/is acting exactly like the sociopath he is with every step he’s taken and every move he’s made! From calling for the execution of the Central Park 5 to the separation of children from their parents to the cavalier attitude when Puerto Rico was hit by natural disaster to the emergence of the lethality of Covid-19 - he not only doesn’t care about other humans, he ENJOYS inflicting pain! Of course he’d enjoy executing more people than anyone!
Now, after the insurrection, juuuuuuusssttt before his folllowers started turning on him, a few in the media are starting to come forward with articles about The Goldwater Rule. Media and Psychiatrists colluded in agreeing not to discuss or speculate in the mental health of world leaders.
