A Mexican national was executed Thursday for the rape-slaying of a teenager after the U.S. Supreme Court turned down a White House-supported appeal to spare him in a death penalty case where Texas justice triumphed over international treaty concerns. Humberto Leal, 38, received lethal injection for the 1994 murder of Adria Sauceda. She was fatally bludgeoned with a piece of asphalt. Leal was pronounced dead at 6:21 p.m. EDT (2221 GMT).

I try to be a good church-going, faithful Christian. My particular faith (church of Christ) generally frowns on the use of profanity and drinking "adult beverages" to excess.
Well, I'm breaking both of those informal rules tonight:
That cold Shiner sure is tasting especially good as I celebrate the elimination of Humberto Leal.
...and...
No more Bushes. Agree with that!

Jesus also didn’t decry the death sentence passed on the thieves he was crucified with. In fact, the Gospel of Luke is rather explicit about at least one of the thieves admitting that he deserved it and what he got was just.
“And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing criminal.” Luke 23:41.
This is the mindset that we're dealing with. The POS lived in the US from the time he was two years old, but goes to his grave shouting "Viva Mexico!"
One last F.U. to the country that was his real home.
That was my letter, minus the last paragraph. Never mentioned right to vote, that was added down the line by someone else.
That beautiful child was given justice today.
I expect her parents would rather just have her back with
them, but the monster’s death does give them a measure of
“closure”, though I hate that word.
Yesterday I saw a minivan with an Obama ‘08 AND an Obama ‘12 bumper sticker. The thing is, someone (NOT ME!!!) had torn off at least half of the Obama ‘12 sticker. Something’s happening out there, folks;)
Some, but in the era of AIDS, it can mean that someone is going to die all the same.
And back when the Bible was written, there were no cures for STDs - many of which were fatal back then as well. Adultery didn’t become something with few physical consequences until the invention of birth control and the advent of antibiotics.
He came here when he was two years old. This is the way the Dream Act should work.
“I think Jesus was simply exposing the hypocrisy nicely when he said it...”
I think your jesus is a simpering marzipan decorative jesus on cotton candy clouds. The real Jesus cursed the fruitless fig tree, and promised that malefactors would be destroyed.
Is Texas a great country or what?? You pompous do-gooder politicians and lawyers can kiss our Lone Star. God bless my beloved Texas. :)
Likewise, if this guy had come forward and confessed his crime, it is likely he would have avoided the death penalty. He might even have possibly gotten the possibility of parole, as turning himself in would show remorse.
As it is, not so much.
Amen, FRiend!
Tonight the skies over Texas are clearer, the air is sweeter and the stars are bigger and brighter. Justice was served at 1800 CDT in Huntsville. And I am certain that a Voice from Heaven said, "Well done, Texas, well done".
That’s some seriously worn out laundry you’re hanging there. What part of innocent victim versus evil murderer do you not comprendé?
I’m impressed! FR is an amazing place! You’re an internet sensation!
I got that in an email today from a fellow Patriot....he said he’d vote for you for Prez! LOL
There’s one vote...oh heck...I’ll vote for you too...there’s 2. ;D
The only logical conclusion is that while capital punishment is permissible to governments for defense against evil, and stands as a symbol of vengeance of blood, it isn’t the “must” that you’re reading into this.
True enough.
God can intervene as He wishes, save whom He wishes to save, for His purpose.
But, you know, David sent Bathsheba's' husband out to a war wherein he could highly likely be killed, he didn't torture the man with a broomstick. . .
These bible references are off the mark by a long shot.
Amazing how much mail I got from that. Some just had my name and city, just like the paper printed. Lots sent money, I don’t know why. I have no intention of running for public office. Just fed up with the Federal Govt’s BS.
The celebration is for:
1. A feral human is no longer a danger to us and possibly to you. A couple a years ago, a Mexican rode the rails and murdered fellow Amerians all the way up to your part of the world. Look up Angel Resendez, the angel of death.
2. Justice was served albeit in in much more humane way than this human vermin dished out to his victim. He got a needle, not a concrete bashing of his skull and a pole up his ass.
3. baraq and his fellow America hating foulups at the UN did not get their way.
I don’t think you understand the savagery of this person. If he was allowed to live, the rest of the savage killers will not expect to be put to death for their actions. On the surface, it seems barbaric to take the life of another person who is not violent at the time. But by executing them, it insures that they will never kill another innocent person again. Permanantly rehabilitated.
The federal govt refuses to do their job in protecting our borders from violent killers like this, so it is up to the states to protect it’s citizens. If I had my way, the killer would have been hanged by the neck until dead in front of the state capital at high noon. And left there for all to see what happens to violent killers who rape and murder 16 year old girls. No burial. Throw his body over the border and let the Mexican govt deal with his carcass.
Obama supports killing children.
