God bless David Cox

At 6 PM on Nov 17

scheduled was

his execution.

Mercifully it wasn't

by stoning, decapitation,

hanging or electrocution.

 **

Footnote:

This was Mississippi's first

execution in 9 years. Only 5 Southern

states of 50, Alabama, Mississippi,

Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas,

have murdered

prisoners this year. Only 18

of 195 countries in 2020

murdered prisoners. The US is

in the company of China and Saudi

Arabia among the 18. It is 6 'prolife'

Republicans, 5 of whom were nominated

by presidents whose opponents got more

votes (G W Bush & Donald Trump), who

have kept the barbaric and primitive

practice going.
