Earlier this afternoon, @drgrist tweeted: "Georgia's going to murder an innocent man in a few hours. Feels weird just to have a normal day."
All day, I have been having the same thought.
Concurrently, I have had the thought that a grave injustice being perpetrated by a state government against a person who is very likely innocent is a normal day in this country, whether they have been sentenced to death or merely consigned to facilities plagued by endemic sexual violence.
This is a normal day.
Troy Davis will die on this very normal day.
This observation is not to endorse apathy on this day, but to exhort elevated concern on all others.
