Malkin: "Waiting for Hollyweirdo @alecbaldwin 's 'I am Troy Davis' tweet..."

Baldwin: "Davis is dead Does that make you happier, @michellemalkin?"

Baldwin: "Everyone tweet that great thinker @michellemalkin and ask her what killing a potentially innocent man does to make you safer."

Malkin: "@AlecBaldwin Direct your minions' ire/rage/profanity/racism/sexism at the US Supreme Court, not me."

Baldwin:: "C'mon!! Let's go all Town Hall on that supreme thinker@michellemalkin. A world class, crypto fascist hater!"

Baldwin: "I wonder if @michellemalkin will push the needle in herself on a man the former FBI director said might have reasonable doubt on his side."

Baldwin: "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."

Malkin: "ICYMI: Here's @alecbaldwin dragging the MacPhail family into his Bush Derangement Syndrome rant http://is.gd/J7Oucx."

Baldwin wasn't the only celebrity to complain about Davis' execution. Kim Kardashian was one of the other stars who took to her Twitter account to discuss the news.

She tweeted: "Such an injustice!!!! Troy Davis was executed! My prayers are with the Davis Family! #RIPTroyDavis."
