Texas Governor Executes Man for Political Gain

It is this kind of crap that has the world hating us. And I don't blame them. From Thom Hartmann news broadcast 7/8/11

Stupid Cowboy, Bible Belt, Hang 'em High attitude. It's going to get us all killed. Rick Perry just proved he is unfit to be President of the United States.

No, you should give a shit because most of the developed world does not have a death penalty and is appalled that we do. And when a citizen of another country is going to be executed, the international community has an excuse to show up what barbarians we are.

And when we ignore the voices of the international community and insist on our barbaric need for revenge, it fuels hatred against us.

This guy came to America when he was just a baby. Him being "Mexican" is a paperwork notion only. For all intents and purposes, he was a red-blooded American. Isn't that ironic?

So an illegal alien brutally rapes and murders a girl, and I should give a shit that he was sentenced to death?

So let me rephrase: So a man brutally rapes and tortures a girl, and I should give a shit that he was sentenced to death? American citizen, illegal alien - it doesn't matter. Either way I don't give a shit.>> ^bareboards2:

Let me re-phrase -- Americans are more interested in revenge than in joining the international community.

Iraq War, anyone?

The only outrage is Mexico didn't pay for this vermin's incarceration.

Plenty of ordinary Americans and not a few American police officers have been killed by illegal vermin who then fled back to the lawless craphole that is mexico.

Unfortunately only mexico understands mexico is at war with the U.S. Our near-worthless federal mafia is more worried about monitoring junk food and school bullying than the border.


The death penalty is punishment for a heinous crime.

You want to abolish the death penalty? Then support a federal gulag in Alaska.

I wouldn't have minded this vermin living out the remainder of his natural life in an icy wilderness, bare necessities, hard labor, no parole, unless new evidence freed him.

You should give a shit that the treaty wasn't followed. Personally, I'm fine with the death penalty for this case, but it should have come about after following the proper procedures.>> ^MarineGunrock:

You do realize that Mexico is a lawless craphole largely because of America and NAFTA right? America even saw this lawlessness coming when it enacted NAFTA it militarized the border.

You should also give a shit that this Texas moron has put your liberty at danger when you visit other countries, who may take the same devil-may-care attitude towards the rights of accused american citizens.

It's perfectly reasonable, in my opinion, to end someones life if it has been proven that they have purposely killed someone else not in the act of self defense. In this case, the guy raped and murdered a teenage girl. It wasn't an accident and this is a guy who would be a danger to society just like the Tuscon shooter.

We have strict rules when it comes to the death penalty and the handling of foreign nationals for good reason, and those rules should be followed.>> ^GenjiKilpatrick:

It's perfectly okay to kill people. But ONLY if you follow the proper procedure?!
What kinda fucked up impersonal bureaucratic police state were you indoctrinated by-- ooooh, right.

@HugeJerk

That's not the point. Murder is wrong. Like rape is.

Two wrongs don't make a right, or alleviate suffering necessarily.

Claiming you're murdering a helplessly "evil" person for the betterment of society is always a slippery slope because the definition of evil - like terrorism - is ambiguous.

The use of deadly violence on anyone as long as the goal is "protecting the public" while following the "proper procedure" is a cop-out - murder is murder no matter who does it.
