Trump judicial pick apparently wrote ‘just shoot’ death row inmates

Share:

President Trump’s pick to be a federal district judge in Alabama appears to have posted comments on his support for the death penalty, including suggesting that inmates be shot, according to a report Tuesday from Slate.

In one post, an online user with the alias BamainBoston on the online messaging board TideFans.com responded to news that an inmate had died of a heart attack after his lethal injection was administered.

BamainBoston wrote: “Just shoot them. That’s effective.”

BuzzFeed last week first linked the online alias with Brett Talley, Trump’s judicial pick.

According to BuzzFeed, BamainBoston regularly posted on TideFans.com, weighing in on politics and sports. In one post, BamainBoston identified himself as Talley and linked to a Washington Post article, adding, “Washington Post Did A Feature On Me.”
