Texas executes inmate for killing man in $8 robbery
Fox News ^ | October 7, 2015

A convicted killer in Texas was executed Tuesday for fatally shooting another man in a robbery that yielded just $8.

No late appeals were filed for Juan Martin Garcia, who was lethally injected for the September 1998 killing and robbery of Hugo Solano in Houston. Solano, a Christian missionary from Guadalajara, Mexico, had moved his family to the city just weeks earlier so his children could be educated in the U.S.

According to Libtards: Garcia didn't deserve to be executed ... even though Garcia admits killing the missionary, Garcia claims that he didn't rob the missionary at the time ... and Garcia is basically a nice person even though he was linked to eight aggravated robberies and two attempted murders in the weeks before and after the missionary's death.

He wasn’t killed for $8 robbery, he was killed for murder while trying to steal $8. The problem isn’t with the law, the problem is WTF did he kill over $8

1998. A bit late don't ya think? So he soaked up a bit of taxpayer teat to live that long. Say about 50,000 a year, minimum, which translates to $850,000. Feel good about that rabid liberals? You paid for it, wise up.

For a dime or a dollar, dead is dead.

Glad he’s gone.

Wonder how long we will have to feed, house, and care for the illegal immigrant who killed Kate Steinle in cold blood.

In Texas we have the death penalty, and WE USE IT!

That’s right! If you come to Texas and kill somebody, we will kill you back! That’s our policy!

I would go out on a limb and say he killed him because he could. And as far as I am concerned, the World is a better place with him gone.

Nuff said.

A real pillar of the community.

Thanks so much onyx for the quick and courteous bump!

Many people don't realize that being 100% pro-life logically implies that one must likewise be 100% pro-death penalty. It's not at all a contradiction but is a key characteristic of Christian (and Jewish) Conservatism. In reality, the inconsistency is with the leftists who uniformly favor abortion and yet march in unthinking lockstep against the death penalty.

Applying pure reason in an Aristotelian sense, it's only the Conservative side that coherently adheres to the Laws of Nature created by Almighty God. Texas is largely a God-fearing state which is why it sets the standard for enforcing the death penalty, albeit with an overly long appeals process.

Why did he kill over $8? It was not the money. He saw an easy target and by looking at the pic this guy probably loved hurting people.

Saw an easy mark and killed him for the hell of it or possibly someone dared him. Life to people like him is not worth 10 cents.
