Timothy McVeigh[edit]

Many black folk were murdered in the Oklahoma City bombing at the Alfred P Murrah building, McVeigh was executed in 2001, shouldn't he be added to the list? 163.1.172.1 (talk) 15:05, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@163.1.172.1: He was only sentenced to death for the murders of eight federal law enforcement officers, all white, even though he killed more people he only received the death penalty for those specific murders. Inexpiable (talk) 17:23, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One sided[edit]

How come there isn't an article titled "List of black defendants executed for killing a white victim"? 2600:1012:B13E:74FA:0:36:8CF1:5301 (talk) 06:21, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Because as the sources indicate, executions of white defendants for killing black victims are extremely rare. Every source demonstrates that. Black defendants executed for killing white victims are far more common. Inexpiable (talk) 08:16, 21 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
