In January 1994, Tamayo shot and killed police officer Guy Gaddis, 24, as he was being arrested for robbery. He was in the US illegally.

If you go to Mexico as a tourist, you’re an idiot.

The sad thing is that the taxpayer has taken the check for this criminal for the past 20 years.

Let's say you're in Texas.
You break the laws of Texas in Texas.
I would say that you have to live by the rules in Texas, regardless of what a foreign nation or the federal government thinks or wishes.

As a Texan I have to say,
my only regret is that we retired ‘ol sparky.
All that quiet laying on a comfortable bed just going to sleep don’t seem like justice to me.

Mexico needs to build a border fence to protect their people from these evil racist rednecks in Texas.
And in New Mexico, Arizona, and California
A nice tall one will keep those white devils away!

There will be plenty of pain in Hades if the killer hasn’t repented.

I guess one could always NOT GOT TO TEXAS if he didn’t like Texas laws. Texas didn’t make this guy come there and murder a cop did they?!?

[Former President George W Bush ordered Texas and other states to review the cases, but the US Supreme Court ruled in favour of the state in 2008, saying the president could not effectively enforce The Hague's ruling, leaving it to Congress to pass legislation.]
Texas took this issue to the Supreme Court and won.

Firing squad is a cheap method...

They might bring back the firing squad if the new drugs for used for the death penalty do work out quite right.

Will Mexico pay his incarceration bills. If not, they should shut up, and be ashamed for letting this criminal come here. Hang him, and save the rope for the next one.

Get arrested in Mexico? You spend months, even years inside one of their notorious prisons. The only way you're getting out if you got a rich relative who will front bribe money. And that's if one of the esses don't beat the crap out of you first.

This game has been played before. Texas will follow through, again. Yes, sir. Texans have a real problem with a murderer who executes a cop. As the Seinfeld "Soup Nazi" once said, "Adios, muchacho!"

In other words, there is no doubt about his guilt, just some squishy liberals who think the innocent should die and the guilty should be spared.

He is a cop killer. I have lived in Houston for 37 years, Texas 40 and I remember this crime. I am forty five minutes south of Huntsville if I drive fast I can help flip the switch.

No, Kerry is trying to postpone this. It’s a case of “our state, our laws”. And rightly so. This guy murdered a cop, Guy Gaddis, who was only 24.
