The US Supreme Court on Wednesday denied clemency for Oklahoma death row inmate Benjamin Cole, scheduled to be executed Thursday for the December 2002 murder of his 9-month-old daughter Brianna because she was crying while he was trying to play video games, the AP reports.
We’re not going to print the details of how Cole did it, they’re too gruesome and upsetting, and the motive alone is enough for the “I’m against the death penalty but I support certain exceptions like this” people to say just that. The bottom line is humans who fuck up and kill a few drug dealers in a botched robbery should absolutely be shown mercy while animals like Cole should get put down.
