Tell me what you care about and I’ll tell you who you are. I care about Dorothy Epps who was brutally beaten to death in her home. Justice Sotomayor and her fellow court leftists care about the monster who killed her.
Here’s what happened.
On Sunday, May 20, 2001, James Barber brutally murdered Dorothy Epps at her home in Harvest, Alabama, taking her life so that he could steal her purse.
Dorothy Epps was home alone the night of her murder. Mrs. Epps knew and had a friendly relationship with James Barber, who in the past had dated her daughter and had been hired to do repair work on her house. When Barber knocked on Mrs. Epps’s door, she probably invited him inside, having no reason to suspect his malevolent intent.
After entering her home, Barber viciously and mercilessly attacked Mrs. Epps, a 75-year-old woman who weighed 100 pounds, striking her in the face and then beating her to death with his fists and a claw hammer.
Dorothy Epps suffered multiple skull fractures, head lacerations, fractured ribs, injuries to her neck, mouth, and eye, and bleeding over her brain. She also suffered multiple defensive wounds, establishing that she was facing Barber at times, was conscious and aware of what was happening, and tried to fend off his blows with her bare hands.
After murdering Mrs. Epps, Barber grabbed her purse and ran from the scene, leaving behind him a home now covered in blood, including on the floors, furniture, walls, and ceiling. He also left bloody footprints on Mrs. Epps’s body—and a bloody handprint on a counter.
Days later, Barber was arrested and voluntarily confessed to the murder of Dorothy Epps, providing police with an elaborate account of his crimes. He admitted that “the crime was senseless and stupid” and that he deserved “to be charged and put to death” for committing it.
Justice Sotomayor and her fellow pro-crime justices disagree.
The court, which has a 6-3 conservative majority, declined to block the execution of James Barber, who was put to death at about 2 a.m. local time.
“This court’s decision denying Barber’s request for a stay allows Alabama to experiment again with a human life,” Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote in a dissenting opinion joined by her liberal colleagues, Justices Elena Kagan and Ketanji Brown Jackson.
Barber had argued that the execution would violate his right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment under the Constitution’s Eighth Amendment.
Barber was executed by lethal injection, which is a far kinder death than he gave Dorothy Epps. He got a last meal of “loaded hash browns, a western omelet, spicy sausage and toast” and, despite the pro-crime leftist clamor, including by the court’s Wise Latina, suffered no particular pain.
He also lived for over two decades after the murder.
To whatever extent Barber is a victim, it’s not of Alabama which kept him around all these years and gently executed him, but of the dysfunctional leftist drug culture that pro-crime activists helped nurture.
Barber first used cocaine around age 20 and started using it “quite heavily” when he began making good money at his job. Around this time, he stopped using marijuana and primarily used alcohol and cocaine. Although he was known for his good demeanor “when he was not high on substances,” when he was high, his personality changed-“obnoxious was the word [she] heard over and over again,”. He had romantic relationships, but they fell apart because of his substance abuse. He had become somewhat violent with family members, once punching his younger brother and once punching his 13-year-old nephew in the back when his nephew commented that he was staggering. He was arrested for slapping Liz Epps, the victim’s daughter.
Barber would sometimes “stay high for about three, four days” with little sleep. Most of the money he made went to drugs, and he often stole or borrowed money from friends to buy drugs. He used cocaine heavily for about 10 years, was sober for about a year, and then relapsed after an injury that led him from pain pills back to cocaine. At the time of Epps’ death, Rosenzweig reported, Barber was using “about three to four hundred dollars’ worth of crack cocaine a week and had also resumed his use of alcohol” a few weeks earlier.
This is the ‘brave new world’ that the pro-crime Left has given us. The Left creates monsters, unleashes them, and then blames us for trying to protect ourselves from its monsters.
Tell me what you care about and I’ll tell you who you are. I care about Dorothy Epps who was brutally beaten to death in her home. Justice Sotomayor and her fellow court leftists care about the monster who killed her.
“The LEFT”is Very Kind to MONSTERS????????????????????????
Maybe we should reinstate public hangings.
Start with Sotomayor, Kagan and Brown-Jackson.
You want to hang Supreme Court Justices? I’m glad they finally put this creep to death, but hanging Supreme Justices for being against the death penalty strikes me as a little crazy and possibly unconstitutional, hmm?
Treason is a crime punishable by death according to the Constitution. And Sotomoron, Skagan and Brown Jackass aren’t justices, they’re Dirtbagocrat operatives.
Try harder, trolltard.
I don’t see how that would help change the minds of these justices.
What minds? And how do you change something that’s programmed?
Sotomayor, Kagan, and Brown are against capital punishment. The execution method will always be cruel and unusual to them, with no cruelty or oddity necessary.
Their faces are so fugly, it’s worse than capital punishment just to look at them. Could you imagine seeing Sotomoron naked? I’d have to kill myself if I saw that.
Come to think of it, Brown Jackson is sexy. I’d like to tap that.
Such drugs have a particularly bad effect on IQ challenged persons, who don’t realize that what they are experiencing is an illusion. For example, taking the voices they hear in their heads to be disembodied creatures speaking to them, telling them what to do.
My next door neighbor does that. I always know when his girlfriend isn’t home because he starts yelling at his imaginary tormentor. He’s a veteran and a nice guy but that shit still irritates me.
I have no idea why the nut-jobs can’t have friendly imaginary spirits.
Isn’t that kind of what schizophrenia does? Convinces the sufferer that he is actually seeing a gigantic space monster when he is looking at, say, his mother? Of course schizophrenia can be controlled with the right medication; cocaine use can be controlled by not taking the damned stuff in the first place.
Soda-Moron should be their Cellmate then watch as their strapped to the bed and that Lethal Injection is given then she can light a candle for them
What is it with these three Dirtbagocrat activist judges? They always vote against the majority and human conscience, no matter what the case is. I mean, Barber? Who could honestly argue to keep that monster alive? It beggars belief, except that I’ve come to expect it from those three twats.
I miss the America where, regardless of what you actually believed, you knew better than be seen anywhere near a mess like this. But, let’s face it – the Justice in question is no Oliver Wendell Holmes. And the left today always have this soft spot for the violent. Especially, this type of violent.
Her soft spot is based on skin color.
Why can’t a group of brilliant, patriotic lawyers and State District Attorneys formulate a legal strategy to make the case that certain members in law enforcement – FBI, CIA, etc., and leftist DAs and others conspire and plot to keep citizens (Trump, etc.) from running for office. They INTEND to do this. Cant RICO be applied and a legal strategy devised that will hold up in Court? Why not?
Many in Hollywood have been supporters of Convicted Killers like the infamous Abdul Jimal
If only these court jesters could be made to walk in the shoes of the victims….this is what is needed. These leftist barbarians, all 3 of them, need to experience a loss on an equal scale and suffer for 20 years, having nightmare after nightmare about their loved ones being brutally beaten to death by a monster like this one.
In my heart, I don’t have faith that it would even matter…..as they are so radical and far-left, it might not even make a difference if they lost their daughters the same way.
Voting democrat means voting for the destruction of Western Civilization.
TRUTH!!
Save our Country. Never vote for a Demoncrap!!
This is pretty standard. All three liberal justices vote the same way. You don’t really need to ask how they’ll vote on anything the Left or DNC like, whether it’s crime, abortion, control, environment. People only ever wonder how some of the Conservative side might vote, particularly Roberts but that side tend to actually look at the cases and the Constitution and the actual law and make decisions. The others typically have their mind made up and don’t need any evidence.
The US is no longer a Republic…ALL 3 Branches have been compromised
Wishing you all the best in the US (as a US Citizen without dual allegiance)
Prepare for the worsening conditions as the “virus” spreads
Take pause in the WORD, Matthew 24:6-14 and we will see this to the end
I feel in my heart our God has a plan, but he doesn’t want us to roll over and play dead.
Remember, it was he that over turned the tables and threw the thieves out of the temple.
When you read on this website and many others all the articles presented, its no wonder America and the three branches of the Federal Government are in a state of decline.
