Looks like Texas forgot to fire up "Ol' Sparky" for this one. This is why capital punishment needs to be sure and swift. No appeals.
President Trump should create a "rocket docket" for death penalty cases. We've got to get the show on the road.
Things you will never see…
“ The 32-year-old attacker, who was described as BLACK”
But “white” is perfectly ok.
“Detained”? WTH? How about “put down” or “dispatched” or “killed”?
As usual a leftist mayor blames the gun and not the individual.
The 32-year-old attacker, who was described as white and wearing a Hawaiian shirt…..

Nope. Not this time Boo Boo.
Ban attacked Hawaiian shirts.
“”A Toyota truck was seen on top of another vehicle in a South Austin parking lot.””
Cute trick. How did he manage to pull that one off....?

> The perp “has a criminal history in Texas”. <
In too many places, a perp who commits a serious crime gets charged with a lesser crime. Then he takes a plea and gets very little jail time. The next thing you know, he’s back on the streets again.
I wonder if that happened with this guy.
“”A Toyota truck was seen on top of another vehicle in a South Austin parking lot.””
Hey you two! Get a garage!
The Soros bought Travis County DA will be more inclined to seek bail and the death penalty since the perp is white.
“”Hey you two! Get a garage!””
LOL! Soon to be featured on National Geographic’s newest season of “When Cars Go Rapey” in the suburbs. Parental discretion is advised.
The dems are hoping this is a Trump supporter, but I seriously doubt that is the case.
If the murderere wasn’t white the police would not even release a description of what he was wearing or his age.
LOL! Yep!

Kidnapping was a big crime in the 1920s and 1930 until Congress made it a Federal crime.
February 13, 1935
The jury deliberates for 12 hours and returns with a first-degree murder conviction. Hauptmann is sentenced to die in March. Defense team promises appeals.
One famous case was the Lindbergh baby kidnapping.
February 13, 1935
The jury deliberates for 12 hours and returns with a first-degree murder conviction. Hauptmann is sentenced to die in March. Defense team promises appeals.
Hauptmann’s original execution date was set for the week of March 18, 1935. He was transferred to the state penitentiary in Trenton three days after the verdict, where he lived in a ten-by-eight foot cell on death row. After his appeals were denied, and other attempts to prove his innocence failed, Hauptmann was executed via the electric chair on April 3, 1936.
About 15 months from conviction to execution.

How many guys on Military death row got executed his first term? How many so far this term?
He's done a lot of great things, but getting folks in gear on the death penalty certainly isn't one of his accomplishments.
Agreed.
It’s Austin, it has a soft on crime D.A. and police department. It’s surprising that they caught the guy.
So is he black or white?
Or is he Michael Jackson back from the dead?
