Unfortunally all they do to him is putting him to sleep by lethal injection, just like a vet puts a pet to sleep. What punishment is that? He won't feel no pain

[onyx]

Dang, Yudan. I like you more and more. We are on the same page. I want them tortured.

"shooter is black, yet not even a vague reference to this being a hate crime!"

Article states the perp was an equal oppertunity carjacker.

[smokinleroy]

What's this "Condemned Dallas carjacker" crap in the headline? Why does it not say "Vicious, cold-blooded murderer" instead. Then again, if I'd been given the name "Yokamon", I might have grown up a little bitter myself.

[writer33]

Now, Yudan. I can see you're not getting in touch with your feelings. We must be compassionate for these murderers. We have to understand them. :)(Sarcasm alert)

Otherwise, I'd absolutely agree with you.

[John123]

Yeah.

A good example on California's reluctance to execute convicted murderers, Kevin Cooper killed a family of three and severely injured a young family friend in 1983. Would you believe his scheduled execution date in February was put on hold by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals?

Rule no. 1, never get in a car w/ a criminal. Run and weave, die fighting if you must, shoot back if you can, but never, ever, get in a car w/ the carjacker.

yes I believe it I am just suprised they did not declare him innocent on the spot.

[jalisco555]

Funny how everyone on death row is suddenly retarded.

What's truly ironic is that liberals have been telling us for years that IQ is merely a cultural construct and measuring intelligence is simply a way of prolonging the oppression of minorities. Now, suddenly, they are telling us that IQ should determine who on death row should live and who should die.

Are these people never consistent?

[stylin_geek]

I'm assuming your question is rhetorical, however, the short answer is "yes."

[MeekOneGOP]

... He won't feel no pain

True. But the good news is that he won't cause any more either.

[PaulaB]

If you ever have doubts about it in the future...remember what God said


Genesis 9:6:

"Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man."

[GodBlessRonaldReagan]

Thanks - I forgot about that passage. Too true . . .

[John123]

Not only that, California hasn't had an execution in two years.

Damn, people just die all on their own out in that state. All the evil, murdering pychopaths must live in Texas and the White House. (sarcasm button off)

[Taylor42]

Happy Trails...

Hey, this is a GOOD title compared to ANOTHER one just recently!:

Ex-pizza delivery man set to die

When I first saw that one, I imagined a man delivering cold or bad pizza and the state putting him away for that ...

well, i actually knew that couldn't be the case, but you get my drift ! Media anti-DP bias ...

[End Times Sentinel]

His body was found the next day, March 26, 1998...

He would be the ninth condemned Texas prisoner to receive lethal injection this year and the second in as many nights. ...

GREAT WORK OUTTA YOU, TEXAS!!!  Less than six years from murder to grave!

Here in PA, we're at 22 years and counting waiting for this P.O.S. to meet allah in hell.

But it didn't say he was an equal opportunity murderer.

[MamaTexan]

There must be something about "Do not mess with Texas."

Yessir. We take a pretty dim view of folks that kill other folks just for the helluv it!

[MamaTexan]

Are these people never consistent?

No. That's what makes them so hard for us 'logical' types to figure out!
