These people weren't murdered. They were legally executed after convictions for horrendous crimes, being sentenced to the death penalty, and going through countless appeals. https://twitter.com/CoriBush/status/1350615832657862659
You can oppose the death penalty as a punishment without pretending that the people executed were victims or that carrying out those executions is comparable to murder.
As an example: Daniel Lee was a white supremacist who murdered a family (including an 8-year-old girl) by suffocating them with bags and then dumping their bodies in a swamp.

That's whose name @CoriBush wants you to remember.
Wesley Purkey admitted to kidnapping, raping, and then murdering a 16-year-old girl named Jennifer Long. He then dismembered her body. He also beat an 80-year-old woman to death.

Maybe we should learn the names of his victims instead, @CoriBush?
Dustin Honken was a meth dealer that murdered 5 people, including 2 girls under the age of 11, because their dad was set to testify against him on drug charges. He was specifically sentenced to death for killing the 2 kids.
Lezmong Mitchell murdered a 63-year-old and her 9-year-old grandaughter so that he could steal the woman's truck to use it in an armed robbery.
Keith Nelson was convicted for kidnapping, raping, and strangling a 10 year-old girl named Pamela Butler.
