A 38-year-old man named Derrek Martin was beaten to death yesterday at Elmore Prison in Alabama. Mr. Martin is at least the 14th person murdered in an Alabama prison this year, and one of at least four people killed at Elmore Prison in 2023 alone. https://t.co/cXB96yXvIk

52,000 Americans killed. That’s the equivalent of what Israel suffered 3 wks ago today. So let me ask you: If 52,000 Americans were killed in a single terrorist attack, would the world tell America how they should respond like the world is telling Israel how they should respond?
