Alec Baldwin has never been scared to speak his mind, and the highly acclaimed actor is determined to have his disgust over the execution of Troy Davis heard loud and clear, Breaking Celebrity News is reporting.
The 30 Rock star took to Twitter on Wednesday night within minutes of Davis' execution, which occurred at 11.08 p.m. EST by lethal injection, despite a last ditch plea for clemency.
"The anti-justice haters won tonight," Baldwin tweeted shortly after Davis took his last breath.
The 53-year-old actor went on to make a stream of politically passionate comments that attracted both praise and criticism from Twitter followers.
First, Baldwin referred to the family of the victim, off duty police officer, Mark MacPhail, who was gunned down while rushing to the aid of a homeless man in a Georgia Burger King parking lot in 1989.
"Wonder if the MacPhail family will seek death penalty for US leaders who killed thousands of US soldiers and countless innocent Iraqis," tweeted Alec.

He then went on a Twitter rampage about his disgust in the execution of 42-year-old Davis, which was based on very questionable eye witness evidence.
"Every sensible American is appalled when police officer is killed. But the attendant charges are grave. U don't want 2 kill an innocent man."
"Troy Davis is still dead. The gulf, still contaminated. Fukushima, still radioactive. Iraq, war. #wecraveignorancesowecanshoplikeamericans"
The oldest Baldwin brother also sparked a Twitter war with conservative blogger, Miche
