4 double executions set for April in Arkansas.

4 double executions set for April in Arkansas.
As many of you know, I am opposed to death penalty, but multiple executions per day really makes me sick to my stomach:

http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/

The only way that the South will be encouraged to abandon the death penalty is through economic boycott, from individuals and corporations (especially, foreign) taking their business elsewhere.  I hope that some of you write to the Governor of Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson, to express your opposition to what constitutes a mass execution of human beings.  In this respect, is American any different than Iran or China?

We tortured, and maybe still do at Gitmo. I bet if there had been white Christians there it would've been shut down a long time ago. But white Christian gitmo would never have happened anyway.

I'm personally still for the death penalty in certain circumstances but life in prison is definitely a better alternative. Too many innocent people are executed.

I'm pro-dp, even for rape, but this is a bit surprising. I thought AR was just an occasional DP state. If this were TX, I'd be less surprised. 

If I had to guess, barely any of these will happen.

If for instance the death penalty weren"t applied more often against minorities as whites who did the same thing, maybe I would be less against it.

Have you got a source for that? It's not that I don't believe you, I'm just interested to read more about it.

Yes.  In China the dictator knows health care is complicated.
