Rapist Murderer Executed in TX
The murdering rapist was finally executed after some 17 years. I used to be anti-capital punishment, but I've changed. Now, if only California would start expediting its death row.

Actually when done by someone who knows how hanging is less painful than the chair, gas chamber and probably even lethal injection.

Just until some U.S. citizen gets railroaded in some foreign country. The rapist was a POS and deserved what he got, and likely would have gotten even had they notified the Mexican consul.

If the Robert's Court was right it will have been the first time in two years.

There are 51 of these Mexican perps (with the same consular issue) on death row! The country is being invaded from Mexico....The fed gov both Rep and Dem have failed to address this issue. I believe the Justices have this in mind.

I was being sarcastic. But, the rope reply does make good fiscal sense. Certainly cheaper that fabricating giant blenders.
