When I lived in Austin, there was a case where a Karate instructor had kidnapped and ran off with a 10 yr old kid. He was arrested and extradited back to Texas. As he came out of security, in handcuffs, with a Deputy on each side of him, they walked past some phone booths.
The Father was waiting for him, and pulled out a .45 and shot him once in the forehead, then surrendered to the shocked and stunned Duputies - all on live TV.
He went to court and said he had no regrets, and that he would do it again if he could.
Texas jurors refused to find him guilty, simply because he admitted doing it, on live tv, in front of Deputies, while his victim was in handcuffs. Some people just need to be killed.
I wouldn’t sacrifice a quart of **** for the state I live in now; but I would proudly die for Texas.
Except that story took place in Louisiana.
That was Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
