They do things different in Texas:

Texas executes John William King in racist dragging death of James Byrd Jr. King and two other white men were convicted in the brutal East Texas murder of Byrd, who was black. King was the second man executed for the crime; another man is serving a life sentence.

Looking at the national disgrace in the Uvalde Texas event, I tend to agree.

The carjacker should be on bended knee 24 hours a day begging for the Lord’s forgiveness and mercy.

Read his prison letter to 73-year-old's family begging for mercy

If you want mercy you can find it in the dictionary.

Somewhere between Menace and Merde .

I remember when the victims daughter used her father’s death as a campaign issue. Giving 2 of the 3 men involved the death penalty, and the other life in prison with a minimum 40 year sentence, wasn’t enough. She wanted him executed for a hate crime, not just murder. Bush’s position “all murders are hate crimes” and “they will be executed” resonated better with Americans, and her bitter little campaign ad backfired.

We need the death penalty to come back.

He gets the same amount of mercy and respect from me that he gave her.

I hope they all die in prison, in some ghastly fashion when they least expect it. Hanging is not cruel, it is kind to the survivors.

"He now faces a mandatory life sentence on a charge of second degree murder."

I've got a better idea.
