A man is executed without evidence of guilt and his name was Troy Davis.
The most profound pain I feel in this is witnessing the anguish of a young, Black man like you, coming to grips with the cold, calculated methods the machine uses to control you, and all of us. I see in your face the realization that it could be you. And it reminds me there are thousands of men like you, grappling now with this awareness.. I know it could be me. The gentle thoughtfulness of your video shows great character, strength and compassion.
