Good news. This guy was a savage beast and needed to be put down. The details of his crimes on that innocent teen are absolutely brutal and the only shame in this is that he didn’t have to suffer the pain and terror she did.
I will lower my Mexican flag to half mast. /s
I’ll have to admit. Perry’s political stock went up a few dollars a share tonight.
BACKSTORY Mexican national Joe Medellin along with five others brutally and viciously raped, stomped, kicked, slashed and strangled two beautiful, young teenage girls in Houston in 1993 following a gang initiation. Medellin, though in this country illegally, had lived in Houston half his life at the time of the crime.
Medellin claimed that he should have received a new trial because he was a Mexican national and should have been allowed to contact the Mexican consulate for legal assistance. However, he had lived in the US since he was six years old and had gone to elementary, middle and high school here.
The Supreme Court heard arguments in the case in spring of 2005. In the meantime, then-US President George Bush instructed, via a "determination," that Texas courts comply with the 2004 ruling of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and hold a hearing for Medellin.
Texas refused to comply, saying that the federal government and the international ruling have no bearing on state criminal justice statutes. The US Supreme Court agreed to hear Medellin's case again, and sided with Texas against the President, saying that President Bush did not have the authority to order such a review.
Medellin was executed August 5, 2008. In his final statement, Medellin apologized for his part in the crime: "I'm sorry that my actions brought you pain. I hope this brings the closure to what you seek."
======================================
WE NEED TO ASK THIS OVER AND OVER AGAIN TO ANYONE WHO'LL LISTEN Why is it lawbreakers have all their home countries.... the US govt and a succession of US presidents ..... defending their "rights?" And not even our own govt is protecting American interests?
News reports say Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru are conspiring to collude with The Anti-Defamation League, The American Civil Liberties Union, the Southern Poverty Law Center and several other civil and immigrant rights groups to infringe on US sovereignty to make laws as we see fit. The co-conspirators filed a federal class-action lawsuit against Georgia's law and asked a judge to halt the measure pending the outcome of their case.....a move that was successful.
=====================================
Nothing good has come from this plague of lawbreakers violating our borders. Illegals are a national security threat. They are conspiring to tear down democracy. Their home countries--and the US govt--- are helping them.
God Bless Texas........
I don’t dare travel through the great Republic of Texas again, I may never leave her. ;>)
Okay, he’s dead, but he’ll still get to vote for Obama.
You can bet the “immigrant advocate groups” will be demanding that the MLB All Star game never be played in Texas again. I smell a boycott! ROTFL! What a bunch of jackasses.
Help wanted Taco Bell...
Now the body needs to be dumped in the middle of the Nuevo Laredo bridge.
F YOU, UN, World Court, Obama
