The ACLU is mad at the state of Florida.
Duane Owen raped and murdered a 14-year-old girl. Two months later, he did the same to a mother of two.
The state of Florida never provided medically necessary gender-affirming care to Duane Owen — causing her enormous suffering and violating her right to be free from cruel and unusual punishment for the more than 30 years she was in state custody. pic.twitter.com/kjmzCrY2uh

That's right. The ACLU is upset that this monster, whom they refer to as 'her', wasn't given 'gender-affirming care' as part of his charade to try to escape his fate.
In legal papers she drafted, Owen wrote that she "should be accorded the 'essence of human dignity' and be allowed to become 'who she was meant to be'" before her death.

No one should be killed by the state. The time to end the racist, unfair and cruel death penalty is now. pic.twitter.com/EsT17NkVR1
At the same time his lawyers were pushing an insanity defense to get out of Owen's punishment of death by lethal injection, he supposedly also wrote that he deserved the 'essence of human dignity'. Sure, dirtbag. The young girl and woman that you slaughtered deserved the 'essence of human dignity'.
Duane Owen got what he deserved on June 15.
This man raped and murdered a 14-year-old girl, and then he raped and murdered a 38 year old woman.

“Worden was sleeping… when Owen struck her several times with a hammer and raped her. One of Worden’s children found her body the next morning while getting ready for school.” pic.twitter.com/N6JGmyaPeE
The ACLU should have sat this one out, but progressives are using any avenue to push the 'gender-affirming care' nonsense. ANY avenue.
This is just sick.
HE wanted to be housed in a women’s prison. Presumably because as a violent rapist he wanted to be around more potential victims in a captive space. Good thing we don’t do that in Florida.

If the ACLU had their way, Duane Owen would have added another victim to his list of atrocities - a 'last meal' of human suffering at the hands of inhuman garbage.
As if the ACLU's tweet wasn't absurd enough, they capped it off with 'The time to end the racist, unfair and cruel death penalty is now'.
This is Duane Owen:
The @ACLU are currently moaning that this man, Duane Owen, who raped and murdered a 14 yr old girl and another woman, didn’t get “gender affirming care”. They call him “she”. What about his victims? What kind of care are you giving them? https://t.co/8RMm76nAVV

Perhaps, Owen wasn't afforded 'race-affirming care' because he sure looks white to us. Unfair? Cruel? Not in his case.
What he did was unfair and cruel. His execution was just.
Are his pronouns was/were?

They are now!
Twitter users delivered a big old 'you suck!' to the ACLU.
Delete your organization.

We agree. At least to start, the ACLU should inject this horrific tweet with potassium chloride until it disappears.
Duane Owen.

Brutal. The NY Times has some competition.
Execution seems like the appropriate punishment for this psychopath. pic.twitter.com/bxFCKTV3Ka

Community Notes even joined the bashing of the ACLU.
Absolutely nobody cares. When HE raped and killed a child he lost all of his rights. Anything less than what he inflicted on that child was too kind of a punishment.

This is going to be a tough sell, ACLU. HE won't be missed.
This tweet cannot be real. Please say that you were hacked or something. Because the alternative explanation is that the people working at the @ACLU are completely insane.
— Toby Rogers, Ph.D., M.P.P. (@uTobian) June 17, 2023
Maybe the ACLU is sending these tweets in preparation for their own insanity defense?
Somehow you managed to make nearly everyone here a fan of the death penalty. Good job, ACLU. Keep tweeting.

Right? We realize opinions on the death penalty have shifted over the years, even among conservatives, but Duane Owen was garbage.
Well done, ACLU, you bunch of clowns.
