8 people executed for the same crime in the same place at the same time is not the same as 2 people on the same day for different criminal cases in different areas of the country.
This is getting tiresome. You're dug in with your continued clickbait.
Have fun with that.
I'm out.

The definition of "mass execution" by Amnesty is not restricted to a single crime by a group of collaborating individuals.

Again, it depends on one's criteria:
Los Angeles Times -- Graves Recall Executed German POWs
Groups of 5 and 7 were executed by the United States on the same day.
Amnesty International condemned the "mass execution" of 21 individuals:
Iraq: Mass execution of 21 individuals is an outrage
And, so, I do not think that I am too far off the mark here.
But you seem to keep shifting the criteria you want to use.

Does such matter? As yourself have stated, one execution is one too many. In any case, one fact is clear, and that is that six human beings are scheduled to be judicially killed in the United States next month, something that has not occurred since 2015. This trend is disturbing and a step backwards in human rights.

Conservatives love a good killin', especially of a brown or black person.
