HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) -- Proclaiming his innocence, an admitted drug dealer was executed Tuesday evening for a shooting spree in 1999 that left three men dead and two others wounded outside a Fort Worth convenience store.

Lamont Reese, 28, had to be carried into the death chamber.

"I want everyone to know I did not walk to this, because this is straight-up murder," he said. "I am not going to play a part in my own murder. No one should have to do that."

He expressed love to his mother and to relatives of the murder victims as they watched from separate windows nearby.

"I do not know all of your names and I don't know how you feel about me," he said, addressing the victims' relatives. "And whether you believe it or not, I did not kill them."

As the drugs began taking effect, he said, "This is some nasty." Then he gasped.

At that moment, his mother, Brenda Reese, began pounding with her fists on the chamber window and began screaming repeatedly, "They killed my baby."

She kicked two holes in the death chamber wall and eventually was taken away. She sobbed and nearly collapsed as she reached the prison administration building across the street.

"This is some nasty," Lamont Reese said as he was executed by injection in Texas.

"I want everyone to know I did not walk to this, because this is straight-up murder,"

John Murtha would no doubt agree.

[Responsibility2nd]

They had to carry him into the death chamber. They had to carry his momma out.

I should not be LMAO, but I am.

[Nonstatist]

It's all a crazy mistake!

[rightinthemiddle]

It's supposed to be "nasty."

[cripplecreek]

"I want everyone to know I did not walk to this, because this is straight-up murder,"

Word?

[reagan_fanatic]

Whatever - who's next?

[Sue Perkick]

It always is.

[soozla]

"This is some nasty," Lamont Reese said......

...........which is probably four more words than his victims got to say about THEIR fate..........at his hands.....

[FearlessFreep]

Wonder if they will send her a bill for the repairs?

[Responsibility2nd]

If he thought that was "nasty", I would bet he ain't seen nothing yet.

[Diddle E. Squat]

She kicked two holes in the death chamber wall and eventually was taken away.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree...

[rightinthemiddle]

You are right!

[Responsibility2nd]

A bill for repairs!!!!!

LOLOLOL

You're not helping. I'm still LMAO here, and I'm at work. Other cubists are gonna start to wonder....

[JFC]

I love my State of TEXAS!!!!

[Darksheare]

How long do we have to wait before someone new signs up and claims to know this guy personally and castigates us for discussing his demise?

At that moment, his mother, Brenda Reese, began pounding with her fists on the chamber window and began screaming repeatedly, "They killed my baby."

He killed himself, you trash.

[mvpel]

What evidence was he convicted on? Any web links about the case?

[Bikers4Bush]

Makes two of us. I was nearly rolling on the floor when I read this and then I got to the window pounding "They killed my baby!" part and nearly had to clean out my shorts.

[Dog Gone]

Whatever - who's next?

I believe the next lucky guy will be Angel Resendez, the serial killer known as "the railway killer."

Next week.

Reese became angry, and the couple left, met up with three other people and got handguns and assault rifles. The girlfriend, Kareema Kimbrough, drove them back to the store, and the gunmen sprayed the scene with bullets.

Detectives found ammunition in Reese's car that matched bullets at the scene.

"Is it true Fatta....did Rocky turn Yella"

[AmishDude]

Given that details of his case are not presented in this sycophantic article, I think we can assume that the evidence was overwhelming.

[wideawake]

"Yo, how you gonna spike my ass up, when alls I did was pop a few caps in some chickenheads who was tryin' to gank my cream, yo? That's straight-up murder!"

[Darksheare]

My rough guess is six months.

[Alama]

Not me Note also http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/dn/latestnews/stories/062106dntexexecute.4be9bf.html Reese grew up in Louisiana where he said he spent much of his childhood in state custody after his mother was sent to prison,

[SouthernBoyupNorth]

And selling drugs and killing people isn't? Screw him. Why is it the Murderers who are guilty get more air time than the Heroes who are in harms way?

[retrokitten]

lamont was my neighbors sons cousins friends from preschool. he was a good kid. who are u to judge? u do'nt know this sotry. they r lieing. u do'nt know him. u so prefect?





(thought I would cut them off at the pass ;-))

[meandog]

This is some nasty...

Satan's demons usually are. Shame you couldn't die like a man, scumbag!

[twinzmommy]

I'm sitting here giggling too . . . . on one level it seems SO wrong to laugh, but on another. . . "this is some nasty"?!?!?

*giggles*

I *LIVE* in Ft. Worth. There was NO doubt the man did this. I think he had rationalized in his own mind that he didn't kill them because all he did was spray bullets randomly. Idiot.

[evets]

Should've asked for the 'cherry' flavor...

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

Finally, the liberal anti-death penalty types have a case of an innocent man being executed. This is the end of the death penalty as we know it.

[Darksheare]

LOL!
That works!

[COEXERJ145]

Hey Reese, give my regards to Tookie!

[FearlessFreep]

He's a martyr now. He'll be pimpin hoes and drinking 40's with all his homies.

[aShepard]

I sure hope that they used an alcohol swab before hitting him with the needle.

Sure wouldn't want to give him an infection!

---------------------------------------

And you would sit their calmly as your child died? This is not him it is his mother and you know nothing about her except that she had the courage to be there.

[P-40]

She kicked two holes in the death chamber wall and eventually was taken away

Will she be billed for that?

[NonValueAdded]

Evidence at the trial of Reese, who acknowledged dealing crack cocaine for years, [cue Meatloaf] STOP RIGHT THERE, we have a winner. More than enough reason for mama's little boy to ride the needle.

[Polyxene]

At that moment, his mother, Brenda Reese, began pounding with her fists on the chamber window and began screaming repeatedly, "They killed my baby."

Excuse me, mom, but it isn't like they just picked him up off the street and took him directly to the death chamber!! He was found GUILTY in a court of LAW and got the punishment he deserved!!!

[atomicpossum]

As the drugs began taking effect, he said, "This is some nasty."

A grammarian to the end.

[Responsibility2nd]

I guess this is what they mean when they say "Save your drama for your momma".

God, what I wouldn't give to see a video clip of momma's big performance.

"He was such a GOOD boy!" BAM!!!
- sound of holes being broken in the wall -

I'm glad his last word (SH*T) wasn't uttered.

Good riddance to bad rubbish...
Too bad they couldn't do a two-fer.

[Responsibility2nd]

How long do we have to wait before someone new signs up and claims to know this guy personally and castigates us for discussing his demise?

Discussing it?? Shoot. I'll get in trouble for LMAO over this.

[Publius6961]
