we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks. now finally in a town full enough that if they can get up early now has a guy left out the other one to the point about. finding a video of you would it be that easy to find a friend that i had in me. is that don't yet see this is even though i'm getting. bored i thought it might have been love a little bit of a larger one about our little bit that we are back at that other money coming over as much of the way for the mob to get a grip but it. did wonders why.

some boards of. the see. you think they will build a. nineteen seventy eight. to ninety nine and i i said better executional.

opera form sixty next years and the seventeen years. people that recommend the death penalty and interior judge if they had performed the execution i think that. in light a different story on giving a definite to do in a way. the united states is the last country in the developed west to execute criminals. about fifty percent of americans are for the death penalty and fifty percent against it. our capital punishment system is flawed this is not a matter of vengeance it's

a matter of just the best that we believe serves as a turn capital punishment is tainted by racial disparity having my father's killers executed and nothing be a sense of closure is it to restore society or is it an issue if you take a life should your life be taken and justice is about us as a society. nine hundred eighty two was my first execution. i was a correctional officer. one of my main jobs were to save their lives so when it came down to execution i had to transform myself into a person that would take a life. jerry givens was appointed executioner in one thousand nine hundred seventy seven when the united states reinstated the death penalty. he grew up in the

housing projects of richmond virginia. and remembers one tragic night at a party. when i was a teenager i witness a young lady are shot by before my eyes i want to we being quite a young lady because. i was. told. my thing is that if a person of the life of another person in that person's life had been taken and asked what i believe. gerry received training to operate the electric chair and later to administer lethal injections. to became chief executioner in one thousand nine hundred two. i would say my team members take pride in that work the preparations. getting this person brady plays make step in my prepare him

just to see is key it's for the last time and. a last kiss of his mother says to me is the wife or daughter. in all of human you know in this is one human that had made a mistake and we had to carry out the orders. outside of his team of eight jerry told no one about his work as an executioner not even his wife. keep it a secret and i kept it a secret from my my family. since one thousand nine hundred seventy seven other executioners across the united states have put over a thousand four hundred sixty people to death it's a punishment supposed to be reserved for the worst of the worst.

it was a gorgeous day it was a beautiful morning we met some friends in boston and. twenty three thousand runners and half a million spectators gathered for the boston marathon. karen brossard her husband and daughter which cheering a friend over the finish line. we were there for maybe ten or fifteen minutes all excited with the crowd watching everybody come through and suddenly it was this incredible loud. explosion. was. seven of us there six of us were injured. one of our friends lost both of her legs that.

i knew that my husband was pretty badly injured. my daughter had shrapnel from her hip. and i had trapped. the two blasts injured over two hundred sixty people killed three including crystal campbell. and eight year old martin richard. police pursue two brothers in a dramatic manhunt. six year old tamar alonzo miles was killed in a shootout. a day later police captured the younger brother dzhokhar a life. over

the next few months karen braun in their daughter like many of the bombing victims had to undergo multiple surgeries. i want to try to not let this. i'm not going to let this prevent me from living the life that i want to live. i'm not going to be afraid. later that summer karen traveled from a home in new hampshire to boston for star nyad serene meant at the federal court. we were all seated together and he walked out he didn't look at any of us but his hand was obviously entered and my immediate response was i hope that her i hope it's possible. that was not like me. and the recognition of that about me was scared because that isn't

who i am. have pled not guilty to all thirty counts seventeen punishable by death. the federal prosecutor asked victims if the u.s. should seek the death penalty. were i don't know. i don't know. i don't know what justice is i got an e-mail. terrorist acts where much more common are the murders and other violent acts that happen every day across the united states. in philadelphia shannon schieber was finishing her first year of graduate school. she had been up studying it was early

thursday morning before i would say it was friday morning. about two o'clock in the morning she was prepared to go. the assailant who attacked her. he pried open her sliding door. she screamed for help but she was being attacked. the next door neighbor heard that he called nine one one. but. he told him that he heard his neighbor say a scream for help and he heard like a choking he said. the police arrived within twenty minutes they knocked on the door but no one answered. the next day when shannon didn't show up for

a lunch date with her brother shawn he drove her apartment building. all of its neighbors came down and answered the door and sean said i'm trying to reach my sister i can't reach her. the guy just would pale they say oh my god i called the police last night they were running up the steps they broke open her door and she was laying naked on her bed. by the time we got to philadelphia though the police were swarming the red the apartment building and they let us know immediately that she had been attacked and that she had been murdered. we were beginning to face the fact that part of us had died and i mean it hit us very

quickly. i just remember the prince that we'd be able to gather to get through this. that weekend they attended mass. when we got to the lord's prayer. saying the lord's prayer out loud was a real confrontation. forgives christmas is this we preserve those who trespass against us. i had to abandon something i had been saying. often probably thoughtlessly thousands of times over my over my door. and if anyone would have asked us what would you want to do if you if you ever found who did this i didn't i just why be so angry i want i want him dead to maybe i don't know i never had this happen it was just so painful. eight days

later the schieber is buried their twenty three year old daughter. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the us has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crime stamping each day. eighty five percent of the global wealth you longs to be ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent minus minus two years some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and get cornrows to twenty thousand dollars. china's building two point one billion dollars a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one to

one business shows you can't afford to miss the one and only. to be just. the most up enough of the basics. and the. yasi will be ready for school so your talking to us. about them not finally got out i last did it live on this when we did it i just love it. and that a lot of it i'm about to come out of a skid but i'm a look at him as art when i was up the money into the magazine the bad news was handed me a long low i left my last comment. just stayed single and i'll just say all right so there's a lot of things being qualified to be made by. other people more adult

films office on the go just. a little not that. i. feel. so. passionately. what does society do when someone commits a horrific act of violence. for centuries seeking justice was a community affair. and disproportionate blame fell on the poor mentally disabled and people of color. in the eighteen hundreds some capital offenses were targeted specifically at slaves the stablish in a racial bias that continues today. executions reached

a historic peak in the one nine hundred thirty s. averaging one hundred sixty seven per year but then in one thousand thirty six. a gruesome execution caught the attention of the media. on aug fourteenth in owensboro kentucky raney of the thea was publicly hanging by a white sheriff's many buck but the oh was innocent. one new york times reporter wrote ten thousand white persons some jaring another's festive saw prayerful black men put to death today and davies county's piton gallus . the outcry over rainy bothy is hanging did not put an end to capital punishment instead it drove executions behind prison walls out of public view. state officials built death houses and

institutionalized the practice. it's a death by formula it's a scripted death in the beginning it was hanging it was not only hanging but it was public and so you see the crowds come in and bring in a picnic luncheon celebrating then we move from hanging to the electric chair and then we began to hammer the horror stories that happened out of the electric chair . and then has been a move to lethal injection. and lethal injection is likely going medicinal so that will just be putting them to sleep. but not everyone agrees. the idea that they should go out in an opiate haze that it should be a pleasant that is absolutely perverse. the debate about the death penalty has become increasingly polarized and politicized we want a system that they are we want a system that respects the dignity of human beings the idea that we were executing

innocent people was terrifying and there was just no way that we hadn't and that we want some people kill with an attitude so callous heinous sadistic that they have forfeited their right to live i believe in a turn of one and that is when we execute this person we know he will never kill again why is it that the death penalty really comes down to in many cases just where you live who your d.n.a. is we cannot recognize injustice when we see it at people and not being treated fairly and people not getting a fair shot you can be critical because you can be critical of the idea that the government has the right to kill and also hold compassion and concern for victims maybe in some books of justice the person for this act deserves to die but do we as a society deserve to kill them. today capital punishment

largely falls to the state in which the crime was committed and laws and methods vary widely. most states use lethal injection. but some still use gas chambers. the electric chair. hanging. and firing squads. carrying out the death penalty is intrusted to specially trained guards like jerry givens. of the sixty two executions the jerries conducted thirty seven were by electrocution and twenty five by lethal injection. lethal injection is considered the more humane form but for jerry it made the job of killing another person a lot tougher. when you talk about execution and electrocution is

a button you push and washing push the button because it flows in the current comes out. and that's all i had to do was push a button. but when it come down to death by lethal injection you have seven to. a chemicals. you have four flushes and three deadly chemicals that is inserted into this man and my self as an execution i'm at the end of each so rant i'm pushing the poison. down to tune into the body so i'm more attach to this person then it is pushing a button and release and then they let the current flow by itself fifteen days prior to an execution the condemned would be moved to the death chamber where gerry

and his team worked. all nine of us were executions and we put that a good excuse and that's what we stood by. the preparation was mental as well as physical. we practice and practice and practice prior to execution. each of us knew our jobs out sign it and we never allow ourselves to get that close to anyone you know we train for that we train this way you don't get that close to . the day of the execution. twenty four hours prior to that would cause we have a call a duck watch. a guy will act differently because he knew that this is the last everything. this is the cell where the condemned sperry's. this is where the warden read is

don't want this clergy person. with him. doing this course of the day to condemn is given a shower his last meal his last visitations. by six o'clock our preparations were stopped in to the inmate his place of death. at home in new hampshire karen in her family were slowly recovering from their injuries. not some much for wasm physical abilities things like the loss of specially for me my rose colored glasses you know. just the reality.

that. people are different things are not the same. when even with one and i. working through things and i'm working through things. it had been six months since the bombing and karen had not yet seen her good friend celeste who was with them at the finish line and lost both her legs. and then planning. an airfoil i i couldn't bring myself. to do so. because i felt. celeste and sixteen others lost limbs that day ron was one of the lucky ones

doctors were able to save his leg but the trauma and pain still lingered. we're going to have to work for a long time to get to new normal whatever that going to be. after months of deliberation attorney general eric holder announced the u.s. would seek the death penalty. the defense will argue that zocor was pressured into it by his older brother that he was a popular well liked college kid led astray. or be held responsible and i agree and i and i am to believe that. but i. just can't stay open. karen son was the same age is no car. didn't seem like such

a hard decision when it was abstract. you know i've got family and friends who are very religious and don't believe in it there and that i have others who say. it's the right thing to do they're so sure. i don't know that it's right for me to make that decision to take someone else's life. in philadelphia shannon's killer was still on the loose. the she worst pressed france or so but the police had none. it's just like you're in a coma you mean you're just like walking through something but you you don't know exactly how you're going to deal with the how am i ever ever going to get through this. this is tremendous sense of loss.

and you know for some time i could visualize feeling that walking through a door squawking in the house and walking through the door seeing our doctor and she told me. she was so kind and generous and loving and helpful and she always would come to us and say mom dad i have to make a difference sharon was a little mini thing. she had a tremendous appetite for learning. everybody loves shana everybody loved her she was a little stream way over and over. in their grief vicki and sil turned to each other and reached out for support. this takes time and doesn't you know everybody goes down a different path at a different time line to the journey toward healing they begin attending support

meetings for families of murder victims. there they saw the devastating toll of sorrow and anger. the father of one of the murdered daughters we know well took his first drink and he never stopped or hear him and she lost his job in a marriage. but well just daughter was one of one hundred sixty six people killed in the timothy mcveigh bombing of oklahoma city. one night about a year later he woke up in the morning and he had this dream and his daughter julie was there telling him dad dad he murdered me are you going to let him murder whole family. also saw the high price people paid for putting their lives on hold as they waited for an execution. we start finding out what murder victims' families go through if you decide to say look i want that man executed it would take fifteen twenty years as much longer for it actually to happen and we just saw the effects

that this had on these family members we saw it destroying their lives. you know world of big partisan movies a lot and conspiracy it's time. to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bats and shouting past each other it's target for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for washington closely watching the hawks.

goods manufactured and sentenced to a public will. when the ruling closest to protect them so. when the final clear euro lifts only the one percent. we can all middle the root signals. to the real news is. the response to the two thousand and eight crisis was that the global bankers got together they really architected the global financial system to withstand a ten time the financial crisis in the future they did nothing however to undercut the ability for the bad actors the global banks do increase their balance sheets and the leverage by ten times and now here we are in twenty eighteen and in fact now the balance sheet of these banks of the central bank is

ten times more like. the tele bond that rain does. hitting the presidential palace during a live address by the afghan leader who on sunday proposed a cease fire. also ahead on the program as the syrian army. militant held enclave of western media outlets warn of a civilian. same though failed to mention the. control of groups accused of war crimes. a young russian boy whose mother is severely difficult to obtain medication appeal.
