After coffee ☕ thoughts:
It's alarming to observe the consequences of US indoctrination beyond its borders—about itself and its self-image—and the case of Marcellus Williams is another example. Why do you speak, act, and express outrage online about the execution of an innocent man in the United States? You are aware that it's a country that practices selective justice outside its borders, so why should it be surprising that it behaves the same way inside its own borders? What possessed you to think it would be different?
If I told you that North Korea executed an innocent man, you wouldn't show the slightest discomfort because you've come to expect such behavior from them. You've lowered your expectations and stigmatized them, but you don't apply the same standard to a country that sentences entire nations, cultures, and civilizations to death when it suits its interests.
They went to the other side of the planet to rescue Brittney Griner from a Russian prison for a crime she committed when it suited their interests, to shape your perception of them the way they want. Yet, they can't spare Marcellus Williams, who committed no crime, within their own country. Deprogram yourself, lower your expectations, and face reality—it's a barbaric, predatory country with a selective justice system.
