Texas executed Arthur Lee Burton on Wednesday evening ... He was convicted, and ultimately executed, for murdering a Houston woman in 1997. He also attempted to kidnap and rape her, court records show. ...

[TheDon]

Texas getting it done...even decades late.

[Levy78]

Another filthy subhuman killing a white woman.

Finally! If there were justice, Burton would not have breather air past 1977.

[Ronald77]

A murder is immediate, why decades to execute the murderer. Seems to me our judicial system always works in favor of the perpetrators rather than their victems.

[Georgia Girl 2]

Finally!

"...his lawyers argued that he is intellectually disabled and thus ineligible for the death penalty."

IMO this has always been a nonsense argument. If someone is too mentally deficient to live among normal humans without killing them, then they should not be on Earth.

“Another filthy subhuman killing a white woman.”

Obviously you meant,”another filthyy subhuman killing a woman.”

Corrected it for you.

Wouldn’t want the world to think you’d be okay if it were not a white woman being killed. That would be rather tacky...

Also narrow minded, definitely unGodly and unfortunately, too human...

No need for you to thank me.

[Getready]

So if under 18, no death penalty. If “intellectually disabled”...no death penalty. Asking for lots of innocent victims killed by sub 18 year olds who are just a bit dumb.

Would hope the death penalty on those who killed Seth Rich.After all these years somethins’ gotta give.

So, he drifted off peacefully, like taking a little nappie.

That’s not real justice.

[Islander7]

27 years!

[Blurb2350]

Justice delayed is justice denied.

[Eccl 10:2]

Twenty-seven years later.

How about 27 DAYS later?

No fault of the Great State of Texas, mind you.

[Newtoidaho]

So, his appeal was “I’m a retard so you can’t execute me”.

Texas said ‘Sorry liar” and finally did the right thing.

[Leep]

He got to live about 30 years longer than his victim.

[Restless]

Nothing to see here — just another white person killed by a black person. I watch a lot of true crime shows while riding my exercise bike every day. I’ve easily seen more than a thousand cases over the years, and black-on-white crime is disgustingly common. I’ve seen only 2 cases involving a white killing a black in a random crime like this.

[Bulwyf]

He meant white woman.

The sub humans come into the western countries and really like to target white women. It happens to others and it’s no less evil, but in this case that’s what happened.

[Bon of Babble]

No sympathy from me!

And one of the main reasons I walk with two large dogs.

Kenn Gividen has a column each and every month as to how many Whites are killed by blacks that month:

The murderer appealed his conviction in 2004; the Texas Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment of the trial court. Ten years later the murderer unsuccessfully appealed to the federal court (See Burton v. Stephens, 573 U.S. 909, 2014). Ten years after that the murderer appealed again to the Texas Court of Appeals which dismissed the application. A last minute appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court, claiming he was intellectually disabled, was denied.

Texas needs to drop lethal injection as a means of execution and return to using the gallows.

[Levy78]

Awww you’re offended. Don’t care about your violent savages. Have a nice day.
