Atrocity after atrocity in Alabama | STEPHEN COOPER On February 6, Alabama tortured Demetrius Frazier to death.

That’s a relief, eh? www.yahoo.com/news/atrocit...

Merci beaucoup for reading and sharing my column—I appreciate that. Bonne journee!

Thanks. I’ll take a look at it. But FYI The Times of Israel—where my essay was first published—has no connection to the government of Israel and often publishes articles critical of it. So I don’t know how or why where I originally published my essay—before republishing it in Alabama—has relevance..

The Montgomery Advertiser and multiple other newspapers in Alabama also published that piece. Out of curiosity: What is your proof of Israel “torturing its prisoners”—and why does the Times of Israel have anything to do with French investment in Alabama, and therefore France’s complicity in Alabama?

Some of you have read my essay about Charles Burton’s scheduled gassing this Thursday—if not, it’s my last post before this one—thank you. Today I’m remembering—and posting—my 2024 essay “Alabama arrogantly asphyxiates another condemned man”—sadly applicable once again. www.yahoo.com/news/alabama...

Unjust sentencing was one step to inhumane execution | STEPHEN COOPER Burton was outside the robbed business when the shooting happened but was nonetheless convicted under Alabama’s felony murder statute and sentenced to death.

🗣️ Hi. I’ve been posting these last few days about Alabama’s next nitrogen-gassing-torture execution—it’s 8th—set for March 12. Continuing in that vein, I’m reposting this essay I published after Alabama’s 7th nitrogen-gassing-torture execution in October. www.montgomeryadvertiser.com/story/opinio...

Alabama’s justice system treats human beings like hogs | STEPHEN COOPER Alabama will execute 6 men in 2024, a killing spree that treats men like hogs fit for slaughter.

Blessings🙏🏻
