Huh? Are you a Troll or something?
Well, I'll assume you're not and reply to that.
When was the last lynching here in Texas that YOU know of?
The last one that I can recall was in June, 1998, when James Byrd was murdered when some idiots in Jasper, Texas tied a rope around his neck and onto their pickup truck and hit the gas. It was a horrible death. Two of the three involved are on Texas Death Row now, and rightly so. The third sits in a Texas Prison, serving out his Life sentence.
We are a country made up of laws, and penalties for those that break them. Murder is against the law, and in Texas (and other states), we have the death penalty for the most heinous of those (capital murder). UNLIKE some states, Texas carries out the death penalty. The death penalty is a deterrent to heinous crimes. There is a zero recidivism rate for those whose sentences are carried out.
So if you're gonna murder somebody, and DON'T want to get the death penalty (carried out), do it in California or some other state where they are hardly (if at all) carried out or where they don't even HAVE a death penalty.
