I am really disturbed by the celebratory theme of this thread. I 100% behind this, but really, does it need to be applauded? I don’t know. It just seems weird. I got a sick feeling in my stomach. I don’t want to see someone be killed, this guy deserved it, but the celebration seems kind of off kilter to me.
I would pull the switch with a smile on my face and then go eat a sandwich. I don’t celebrate his death, I celebrate all those who lived because he was belatedly executed.
You would not have lasted very long in the Old West then. Whole families came to town to see someone hang. And, it did not take as long as this did. He killed an innocent kid, the president tried to interfere, the UN tried that too but it did not work. Good for Texas.
We celebrate that he will not be allowed to kill his next victim!
BTW, when crazy old Governor Dean first took office he looked into the issue of execution. I suppose he thought he ought to act as Governor to end it (since in 1991 he opposed all capital punishment).
Turned out that he discovered the nature of the people being executed, and as a trained physician he recognized it for what it was ~ and by 1997 he openly supported capital punishment for cop killers and those who kill children.
If he'd been on Casey Anthony's trial she'd be getting prepped for the gurney Fur Shur.

Now that is from a man with no known moral code whatsoever ~
ON the off chance you're not familiar with the details of this case, real justice would have required him dead less than 30 days after the crime.
I am celebrating the triumph of justice, albeit delayed.
If Perry really wanted to violate International Law he should have turned that scumbag over to me. I would not have asked the state to reimburse me for the salt, propane, grinder wheels, tin snips, gasoline, drano, vice grips, c-clamps, sand paper, matches, etc that I would use to dispatch this predatory scumbag to hell with.
Rather than appeal for a stay I imagine he would have begged for death several hours into our "session".
How is it off kilter?
If your daughter was raped with a broomstick, with a screw in the end of it, died in agony, tortured to her last breath..you would not celebrate the death of her torturer?
The celebration is for:
1. A feral human is no longer a danger to us and possibly to you. A couple a years ago, a Mexican rode the rails and murdered fellow Amerians all the way up to your part of the world. Look up Angel Resendez, the angel of death.
2. Justice was served albeit in in much more humane way than this human vermin dished out to his victim. He got a needle, not a concrete bashing of his skull and a pole up his ass.
3. baraq and his fellow America hating foulups at the UN did not get their way.
I don’t think you understand the savagery of this person. If he was allowed to live, the rest of the savage killers will not expect to be put to death for their actions. On the surface, it seems barbaric to take the life of another person who is not violent at the time. But by executing them, it insures that they will never kill another innocent person again. Permanantly rehabilitated.
The federal govt refuses to do their job in protecting our borders from violent killers like this, so it is up to the states to protect it’s citizens. If I had my way, the killer would have been hanged by the neck until dead in front of the state capital at high noon. And left there for all to see what happens to violent killers who rape and murder 16 year old girls. No burial. Throw his body over the border and let the Mexican govt deal with his carcass.
