Stay of Execution Lifted On US Soldier Convicted of Multiple Rapes and Murders

It looks like the US military may have its first execution in more than half a century:

A Kansas federal judge has lifted a stay of execution for a former soldier sentenced to death for two killings and a series of rapes, inching the man closer to becoming the military’s first death sentence carried out in more than a half century.

U.S. District Judge J. Thomas Marten last week sided with the U.S. government in denying a bid by former Fort Bragg, N.C., soldier Ronald A. Gray to block the military from pressing ahead with the execution by lethal injection.

Since a military court sentenced him to die in 1988, Gray has been held at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where the military carried out its last execution when it hanged Army Pvt. John Bennett in 1961 for raping and trying to kill an 11-year-old Austrian girl.  [The Virginian Pilot]

Black lives matter far too much for Obama to let one of his unarmed sons get murdered by racist white prison officials.

P.S. the racist white military guy next to the unarmed son of Obama literally looks like…

…Hitler.

What this really an acceptable style in the American military?
