He should have been dead and rotting in he[[ in April 2009.

But, at least it wasn’t 30 years of appeals.

[Dilbert San Diego]

Glad to hear justice was served.

Somd people should just be put down, as we put down rabid dogs.

[BuffaloJack]

Well, I hope it hurt.

Where do I send flowers? I have some lovely dandelions that popped up overnight after a long, hard rain.

It’s all good, but I still think we should go back to hanging these rodents.

Wonder if he was an illegal immigrante? Ain’t diversity grand?

God Bless Texas.

I respect the way Texas carries out their capital punishment obligation. I wish more states would respect the victims to this extent.

“Prosecutors withheld information that Davila was so high on drugs during the shooting that he was “likely intoxicated to the degree that it would have rendered him temporarily insane,” lawyer Seth Kretzer told the high court in a filing. He argued that could have influenced jurors to decide on a lesser penalty, and questioned the constitutionality of how Texas juries decide death sentences.”

... all the more reason to execute him.

Some here may know that the state of Texas maintains a special website for its "Death Row".On that website you can see,among other things,the last words spoken by the prisoner just before the needle is inserted.While some,as would be expected,claim to be innocent and/or claim that the DP is wrong,a surprising number (surprising to *me* at least) admit guilt and express remorse for what they've done.

But ten bucks says that *this* punk didn't express any remorse.

Here’s what he said:

“I may have lost the fight but I’m still a soldier,” he said when asked by the warden if he wanted to make a statement. “Take it as it is. To my supporters and family, y’all hold it down. Ten toes down. That’s all I got to say.”

The next morning.

I love when someone says it was a botched hanging when the person’s head is torn off. They tried to kill the guy and succeeded.

[Gay State Conservative]

Yup,just checked it out.But if anyone has some free time take a peek at what some others have said.As I said before,a good bit of what I’ve read surprises me.
