"I can't believe you said that...."

In Texas we have the death penalty and we...USE IT!

World Kangaroo Court: You can't execute him! Texas: Si, Se Puede! Don't ya just love change?

Thank God for the Supreme Court Judges President Bush installed. This is the only reason I am voting for McCain this fall. We can’t have a committed liberal ideologue like Obama picking Judges.

His parents plotted to break him out of jail.

I guess when you ignore the laws of America coming in, you can pick and choose ALL of the laws you want to obey.

Medellin's execution will be the first of what promises to be a busy month at the state's death chamber in Huntsville. Five other men are scheduled to die by lethal injection in the next four weeks, including one on Thursday. Medellin was 18 when he participated in the June 1993 gang rape and murder of two Harris County girls, Jennifer Ertman, 14, and Elizabeth Pena, 16.

And another of the gang bangers has already been execute (2006) and another one is on death row. 2 more have life in prison (they were aged 17 at the time) and one more has a 40 year sentence.

Gang bang rape and double murder of two teenaged girls.

The gang members have been shown much more sympathy and caution than their victims ever were. The man who was executed tonight was caught within days and boasted to the cops of his brutal actions.

Gotta love it! God bless the State of TEXAS!

The death penalty in this case is not “racist”. The thug was hispanic and raped and murdered two hispanic girls.

It isn’t xenophobic either because other participants (who aparently did NOT have the citizenship status of this man) were also sentenced to death for their role in the rapes and murders.

Let the maker deal with this animal. Ship his body back to Mexico, first class, and deduct the cost from our ‘foreign aid’ to that nation.

[Waco]

gee, with all those nabobs saying piss on the victims you’d of thought they’d held off a little longer.

[Towed_Jumper]

“Ship his body back to Mexico...”

Here's another idea...just sling his lifeless body up onto the top of our new border wall with Mexico to rot in the the Sun as a warning to others coming here illegally.

Oh, I forgot...we don't have a border fence...never mind. /s

Oh, I forgot...we don't have a border fence...never mind.

I thought it was the double strand barbed wire thing they are always showing on the television.

It's so flimsy you wouldn't want to risk stringing a rabbit up on it, but I guess you could put the carcass of that deceased murdering filth up there if you cut him into little pieces...

Adios, scumbag. Next!
