If he did it, lethal injection is too good for this slime.

CHRISTIAN LONGO, WHO was put on the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list last week, was arrested over the weekend in Mexico. The U.S. will now try to extradite him to face capital charges.

Fat chance.

Mexico is "compassionate," and won't extradite anyone facing the death penalty, even if they slay their own family.

What's the point? Does anyone here really kid themselves into thinking our friends south of the border respect our laws at all?

Should America Surrender?

[Catspaw]

Nope, Mexico won't extradite unless we agree that we won't impose the death penalty.

But what a relief that this creep is in custody--he spent less than a week on the FBI's Most Wanted and was featured on America's Most Wanted last Saturday. It didn't take long for him to get nabbed.

Very true. My friend (Jan Castorena) was brutally murdered by her husband a few years back in Sacramento. The kids were in the house for 2 weeks before seeking help...out of fear of their father. The husband/butcherer was found in Mexico. Mexico refused to extradite him if the death penalty was sought. He's in a nut house after a guilty conviction.

"America's Most Wanted" adds another capture to its long list, it looks like. Was watching it Saturday night, and they featured this creep at the beginning of the program. Was wondering how long it would take to get him. Looks like it took a day! John Walsh has contributed massively to the public good, out of his own pain.

Another case in Oregon--two creeps walked up to a couple strolling on the beach, spoke with them in a friendly fashion for several minutes, then shot the couple to death for absolutely no reason but the thrill of killing. They ran to Mexico...Mexico refused to extradite them unless the U.S. promised not to impose the death penalty upon them. It just makes me sick! The case you describe is so chilling. It just proves that Mexico is NOT a friend of the U.S.

While you have a good point, I would think that a life sentence in a Mexican jail is a worse punishment than execution.

Hey, he only killed a Mom and her three little ones. I'm sure he's really a fine person if we'd only get to know him. Thank Heavens Mexico recognizes his redeeming qualities! </ sarcasm>

[veryconernedamerican]

Who cares about this, put them in a cell with someone who should be in solitary and call it good. We can impose the death penalty on them once they get to jail..

[Alamo-Girl]

Thanks for the heads ups!

Mom and 3 little ones...

At least he's not an abortionist!

After a few days in a Mexican jail, especially he being a norteamericano who killed his babies.......well, a lethal injection would (in comparison) be soothing and tranquil.

Perhaps we'd have less domestic violence here if the minimum mandatory penalty for domestic violence was a year in a Mexican jail....no comforts of American jails, no probation, no community service, no half-way houses, just cold and harsh "Vaya con dios, senor"!

Naw, the heck with extradition.
Let him stay in his current jail. Maybe in ten or twenty years some charity might want to look him up and see what's left.

I'd rather let him rot in Mexico than me pay taxes to provide bed/board/appeals here. He chose to leave USA: good riddance!

[CIBvet]

Only if you can't come up with enough "Mordida" for the guards, AND your steaks, your cable TV, your LazyBoy and regular visits from the local girls.

Then time ain't so bad in Ol' Me-heco.

What a country ... soon to be homogenized into the USA, compliments of our Global-visionary leader, George Bush and his good Ivy League buddy, Presidente Coka Cola.

[patlaw_guy]

I doubt this guy is going to have enough money for the comforts of home. I'd say his wife might send it, but I guess he nixed that option himself!

[Slyfox]

Nope, Mexico won't extradite unless we agree that we won't impose the death penalty.

Well, what if we say we won't but then we do?
There has to be something we learned from the Clinton Administration that can benefit humanity.

While watching the tube over the lunch hour, I heard that Longo has voluntarily come back to the US & will have his first court appearance today (I thought I heard Houston). What does that mean? He can get the death penalty.

[ex-Texan]

I think the U.S. ought to take its sweet time in filing all of those papers requesting Longo's return to face charges. Then keep asking for delays. Then, when extradition is denied, file all sorts of appeals.

After several months in a Mexican jail, Longo will be begging to return. Life in prison in Mexico sounds about right to me.
