Pardons and paroles
Well, the Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles met and decided to give Troy Anthony Davis 90 more days to make his case. Good news and bad news.

Good news - at least they are trying to hear all the evidence before sending this man to his death by lethal injection. It is always good to know whether a person actually committed the crime before executing them.

Bad news - it looks like the death penalty will still be in play if it turns out that the evidence remains strong that Davis killed a police officer in 1989.

I have no idea whether Davis committed the murder or not. I do know that executing Davis in the name of the state of Georgia solves nothing. It brings no healing. It has cost the state of Georgia enormous sums of money. Davis may or may not have actually done the crime.

Executing Troy Anthony Davis would be just one more death.

Life without parole is punishment that fits the crime - any crime.

Gravatar.com You're certainly entitled to support
your position on this ,but you don't
serve yourself or listeners well to call
those who support it
just out for sick revenge, and that all
they're accomplishing is more killing. You
should
have a radio debate with an educated
supporter of it who can challenge you.
But you won't, because you can't handle
serious debate. When someone disagrees
with you, you ususally just say, i.e.
'well, I'm right". Very deep. Or your show theme,
...I talk about what's right and what's
wrong. Kinda arrogant, isn't it? My
opinion; you're out of your league.

I am not trying to be smart, but looking at this, I don't understand why the death penalty is wrong.

What's Allen Up To?

Description
The Allen Hunt Show is about faith and life, plain and simple. According to a Gallup Poll in May of 2005, 85% of Americans consider their faith important or fairly important to their lives. Yet there is a gap on the talk radio airwaves that examines where faith and life come together. This show fills that gap like nothing currently on the radio. This is not one more political talk show, nor is it another faith-based counseling show because ultimately, life is not about what is right or left, but about what is right and wrong. The Allen Hunt Show takes on real life issues, with real life people, to see how faith can have a real impact. Join us on Saturdays from 9-11 PM and Sundays from 6-9 PM. Blessings!
