“I think the UN should protest by taking their offices out of the US to somewhere in the mid Congo.”

Or self immolation like the Buddhist monks during the Vietnam war.

The UN was born in a lie,
and we all must ask ourselves why
they located it here
and the answer I fear
is so they can help freedom die.

Poor thing. A daughter lost, and a wife and mother and grandmother that never was.

The U.N. is a sump tank of evil, as are all of these transnational bureaucracies.

Psalm 2

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

you cannot be guilty of breaking a law that has no jurisdiction over you.

But it wasn’t “The United States” either - he was being held under the authority of Texas and Texas’ law. The UN official doesn’t get the concept of Federalism and the fact States have their own level of sovereignty.

I was thinking the same thing.....God protect the lives of those 5... I hope they have food tasters, and someone to start their cars in the morning. The fate of the nation is literally dependent on 5 heart beats continuing!!

Give justice to all of the illegal alien murderers of American citizens or murderers of anyone else in America.

If they want to murder they can stay in their degenerate murdering country.

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Navi Pillay...

High is right. Whatever this thing is pictured above is on crack!

Come on down to Texas and straighten us out "High Commissioner". One you get here, in the words of Eric Cartman, you can suck my.....

Sorry to be so close to profanity but I have no need for devoids like this that can't conjure their way out of a paper sack if it was full of common sense. It is pretty simple here in Texas, you kill and you die. The only thing we need to change about that is that you die QUICKLY.

Go away little UN bug. Get that headset back on so when I press "One for technical support" I have some Indian puke to talk to....

Screw all non-Americans. That goes for you too Barry...

"Texas Execution Broke International Law, Says U.N. Official"

Yeah, well it also broke an illegal alien of his nasty little habit of raping and murdering American teen age girls. So STFU.

Here’s an idea - how about Mexico throw off their third world status and provide for their own. And the US kick out all illegals so they don’t end up on our death rows.

“accused the United States of breaking international law”

Hey, navi. Maybe you could take the benevolent American teat out of your worthless whining mouth long enough to explain your excuse for existence.

International law says the acts being and having been committed by Mexico and her citizens amount to acts of war and the United States is clear to engage in war and stop those acts.

OK, so when do we declare war on Mexico and annex the place? I want some real beachfront property that is mine.

“Texas Execution Broke International Law, Says unofficial”

Well, I guess if it’s unofficial, it shall go unheeded!

Personally I think Texas would have ignored any court ruling against the execution and killed him anyway. 10th amendment rules.

With a Supreme Court ruling on a specific issue? I’m not sure about that, with the threat of Holder getting into the mix.

I think at the least it would have stayed the execution for an appeal. But I think the greater issue is we dodged a bullet from international influence on our sovereignty.

If there was a key word needed on FR in order to highlight similar posts, it is: SOVEREIGNTY. We lose that, all other issues don’t matter.
