Milton Mathis executed for Houston double slaying -- HUNTSVILLE, Texas (AP) — Condemned Texas inmate Milton Mathis has been put to death for a double slaying more than 12 years ago in Houston.
The execution is the sixth this year in Huntsville. It was carried out Tuesday evening after the U.S. Supreme Court rejected arguments the 32-year-old Mathis was mentally impaired and ineligible for the death penalty....."
I do have to admit I sometimes wonder how NY and TX can be of the same country too....
My solution would be for TX to secede. We’ll be fine and NY can drill their own oil and natural gas. Have fun with all that funny money you guys love to print NY.
Oh, and you can have all of our murdering simpletons too NY, since you love them so.
Ummm, no it's not.
Instead, Governor Rick Perry, who vetoed state legislation ten years ago that would have outlawed executing the mentally disabled, gave the go ahead for the monsters to ram home the plunger
Monsters? Where's Tony's compassion for the VICTIM of the murder?
Criminals know that we have the death penalty in Texas. And we USE it.
That’s just one more person who won’t be killing an innocent person in the future.
God bless Texas!!
Cry me a river — mentally challenged is no reason to get away with murder. Texas is the “civilized” state.
Seems to me that Tony Metcalfe needs a penile transplant.
So this so called mentally handicapped person couldn’t dress himself but knew how to use a gun? I find that hard to believe!
That would have been the civilized thing to do.
Tony worries about Texas while ignoring the “civility” of his homosexual pals running around in promisicuous clubs and bathhouses or “tiring of condom fatigue” or bisexuals transmitting HIV to their wives or gfs.
But their “sexual orientation” is not important, why, they LOVE each other. Next Tony will be advocating multiple partnermarriages, man-child relationships, mad-dog relationships . .after all they LOVE each other.
Sorry to say, even the mentally challenged have to adhere to the law!
So if you kill in cold blood - no matter what your mental capacity is, you are a killer.
If you’re drunk and you kill, you’re a killer
If you’re high and you kill, you’re a killer
If you’re insane and kill, you’re a killer
If you were abused and you kill, you’re a killer.
I’m not having an issue with this execution.
Didn’t Clinton rush back to Arkansas once to execute a mentally disabled man?

No one is stopping anyone from "luvin" anyone.
I always liked how Ron White put it:
“Everywhere else, they’re closing down their execution chambers. In Texas, we’re installing an express line.”
and
“You kill somebody in Texas, we’ll kill you right back.”
Heck, I heard we were putting in an express lane. ;)

Here’s why, dimbulb Tony Metcalf - state’s and government’s don’t have consciences and cannot be compassionate.
Only individuals do and can.
A reality that once admitted destroys the delusions of the left.
This perfectly exemplifies the degree of the KulturKampf being waged in America between the far left social radicals and traditional American values.
There are good arguments against the death penalty. This isn’t one of them. And recognizing a biological abberration as normal is hardly practicing moral values.
>>Seems to me that Tony Metcalfe needs a penile transplant.<<
You mean penile IMPLANT...
One more very good reason to support Perry.
Now, why would someone want to get a high IQ score if 1st prize is death?
The writer could have at least tried to spell Massachusetts correctly.
