2 sons executed, their mom grieves, I am sure the families of the victims grieves just as much.

Texas executes inmate who attracted attention of Susan Sarandon

Yeah, Texas is making this a nice little habit.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

The more of these murderers we execute, the better off we will be down the road.

"Our parents have lost their second son by lethal injection to the state of Texas," they said in a statement. "Their pain is incomprehensible."

CORRECTION: "Our parents have lost their second son to thier own crimes and lack of moral upbringing"

[GeronL]

Texas Death Row needs an express lane...

Allridge's brother, Ronald, was also put to death, in 1995, for killing a woman during the robbery of a fast-food restaurant. Two other brothers were at Thursday's execution. "Our parents have lost their second son by lethal injection to the state of Texas," they said in a statement. "Their pain is incomprehensible."

Imagine the pain of the families of their sons' victims. I can't imagine how these boys were raised - two murderers in one family?

[July 4th]

I think being liked by Susan Sarandon is a capital offense in itself.

Yeah, Texas is making this a nice little habit.

I wish California would get into the habit. There are over 600 people on death row. The last execution was a few years ago. Most of them will die of old age. The death penalty in California is meaningless.

[I still care]

Do you think the press will mention that Kerry is strongly anti the death penalty?

Of will they try to hide it like they do everything that might earmark him as a liberal.

I am sure the families of the victims grieves just as much.

Probably more.

"Our parents have lost their second son by lethal injection to the state of Texas," they said in a statement. "Their pain is incomprehensible."

Screw them. Dig 'em both up and kill 'em again, just for kicks.

[Jenya]

Sarandon visited Allridge last month, has purchased some of his prison-made artwork and for years corresponded with him.

I wonder if Sarandon would bond with someone who murdered one of her children. Then again, being the lamebrain liberal that she is, she probably would. She and Tim Robbins make a perfect couple.

[Brytani]

The families of the victims grieve more - they had no warning of their child's death, they had no date and time for it. They received a phone call or a knock on the door. They have no time to say goodbye.

Yeah, whatever.
This was a great execution! It's like Texas just told Hollywood, "drop dead".

[Melas]

Being anti-death penalty makes one liberal? I have to disagree. Oliver North is a conservative's conservative, and strongly anti-death penalty.

I admire the guy for leaving his family and the family of the man he murdered with loving words.

He sure seems to have come from a screwed up family though - two murderers in one family? Maybe it is better that they are put to death so that they won't be having any children.

[TheDon]

Agreed. There should be a comparable number of executions each year, to the number of homicides.

[VisualizeSmallerGovernment]

About time they executed Tim Robbins.

[Texasforever]

Yeah, Texas is making this a nice little habit.

You kill us we kill you back. LOL

"My brother didn't even have a chance at life," the victim's brother

this dirtbag had as much of a chance as anyone.. he chose to throw his life away when he killed a convenience store clerk for $300..
the real tragedy is that this guy probably had to wait years for justice to be served.
