In reality, he was sentenced to just 15 years. Today, following his sudden release, he is walking free, not even subject to the regulations of a parolee.

The treatment of Mack Charles Andrews, who is white, stands in stark contrast to that of Nathaniel Woods, a Black man executed by the State of Alabama in 2020, despite a public outcry.

Woods was executed for the murder of three police officers in 2004, despite the fact that even prosecutors acknowledge that he didnt pull the trigger. As USA Today also noted: The confessed shooter, Kerry Spencer, who is himself on death row, has said Woods was actually 100% innocent. Before Woodss execution, Kimberly Chisholm Simmons, the sister of one of the 2004 victims called Jo Bonner, chief of staff to Alabamas Republican Governor Kay Ivey. Bonner told Simmons she should expect a call back.
The call never came. Nathaniel Woods was killed by lethal injection on March 5, 2020, at Holman Correctional Facility in Alabama.

(15,355 posts)but in majority Retrumplican areas in this country, the people that vote Retrumplican would say that, at age 7, the girl tempted this "christian man of faith".
Haven't you heard the story of Jezebel?
How about Salome, who supposedly at age 11, danced so provocatively for King Herod that he gave her John the Baptists head on a platter?
BTW, it's not just Alabama. It's Retrumplican majority areas from Maine to California and Florida to Washington.
See, in their minds, this 7 year old girl tempted him with her "feminine wares".
The sooner we acknowledge that, the sooner we can begin to stop pretending that Retrumplicans are a normal opposition set of political policies that can be nogotiated with.

(5,493 posts)As an avowed atheist, I probably know the Buy Bull better than most Christians. I've read the nonsense countless times..
(it's been said that the best recruitment tool for atheists is the bible itself....)
But the fact that Buy Bull "stories" and "fables" allow 21st century human beings to justify child rape ABSOLUTELY REPUGNANT.
It's NO DIFFERENT from a Taliban putting a woman in a bag because he's afraid of being "tempted" by her face.
Christians ARE NO FUCKING DIFFERENT THAN TALIBAN.
FUCK ALL RELIGION. IT WILL CAUSE HUMAN EXTINCTION.

Do I need to mention that 74 million of our "fellow Americans" voted to keep him in power?
I'm not sure that fact is not even more disgusting.
I think it was Napoleon that said; "religion is what keeps the poor from eating the rich"
