I don't know this case, but ...
are you actually promoting killing some one because of what he "knew"? My reading of the linked article was that he was charged [SIC] with "possibly being a witness". IANAL, but I don't think it's a crime to know some one is going to violate the law and keep it to yourself. Certainly, I'd argue, such a "crime" should not be punishable by death.

The soul and substance of what customarily ranks as patriotism is moral cowardice and always has been...We have thrown away the most valuable asset we had-- the individual's right to oppose both flag and country when he (just he, by himself) believed them to be in the wrong. We have thrown it away; and with it all that was really respectable about that grotesque and laughable word, Patriotism.
