Shed No Tears for Troy Davis

It is my sincere hope that as you read these words convicted cop killer Troy Davis is dead. The Savannah man has already been given 23 years of life from the moment in 1989 he helped butcher an innocent man. Twenty-three years over and above his victim. Davis either pulled the trigger that killed Officer Mark McPhail or participated in the crime spree that lead to the shooting of the young husband and father. Either way works for me, because it is a cosmic certainty that one of the above two statements is the solid, indisputable truth. A number of misguided souls have been running around for years saying that Troy Anthony Davis is innocent in the case, and that because a few witnesses have recanted their statements implicating him as the triggerman in the cold-blooded killing, there is enough “reasonable doubt” to spare the admitted thug the needle many others say he so richly deserves.  Bullsh**. If you throw out all the additional testimony in the case (which, of course, we won’t be doing), Davis’s own account of what happened is enough to relieve me of one moment’s hesitation in seeing his Georgia death sentence carried out. Troy Davis knew he was out with a group of law-breaking animals who would rather steal than attempt to earn their own money, and he knew that they were willing to harm and maim others in the quest for their illegitimate payday. He knew they were deadly serious when one of them shot an innocent man at a party two hours before the McPhail murder, and he knew they were deadly serious when they begin to seriously beat an unsuspecting Burger King patron in an attempt to rob him. That is information from Davis’s own mouth, testimony he offered under oath that he has never attempted to contradict. As a matter of fact, the only thing that Troy Davis disagrees with is the claim made by one of his fellow thugs (and many others) that he was the one who actually pulled the trigger on the officer, who was attempting to offer aid to the beating victim without his gun ever being drawn. Troy Davis ran that night as McPhail lay dying in the hamburger joint’s parking lot. If there was remorse, he didn’t feel it or express it that night, or even for the next few days. He finally turned himself into police after being named by one of his partners in crime as the gunman. Davis maintained then, and now, that is was his accuser, Sylvester Coles, who pulled the trigger on the officer, and not him. I don’t know who to believe in this situation, and, to tell you the truth, it does not bother me one little bit. The real tragedy comes in the fact that all three of the lowlifes who were out on that vicious crime spree 23 years ago are not lined up to be executed together.  Was it Davis, Coles or even Darrell Collins who actually put three bullets into the body of Mark McPhail? No idea, and, once again, I don’t care. All three knew what guns do. All three knew what could happen as they terrorized innocent people. All three did not give a good damn for the health and welfare of their victims. While all the world can accuse the State of Georgia of being heartless and rigid, may all the thugs, animals and gangbangers get the message that if they participate in a crime that puts a police officer in his grave, they very well could be digging their own at the same time. Who killed Officer Mark McPhail? Three animals. I hope one of them got what he deserves.
