Personally I think it's GREAT that Texas executes so many criminals.
Per the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, the Offender information is as follows, in part:
Woods, Jr., Steven Michael
On 05/02/2001, in The Colony, Texas, Woods and 1 co-defendant used a 380 caliber pistol, a 45 caliber pistol, and a knife to kill a 21 year old white male victim by shooting the victim 6 times in the head and cutting his neck 4 times. A 19 year old white female victim was also killed by receiving 2 shots to the head, 1 shot in the knee, and cutting her throat. Woods and the co-defendant took property from the victims which included their car keys, backpacks, a cell phone and other personal items.
Oh God, the ludicrous Amanda Marcotte strikes again. I had hoped the Guardian had fired her for stupidity. The comment section should be fun.
Different subject- article from a site i can’t post from- Pa judge struck down individual mandate clause in Obamacare.
It is silly they try to claim a Texas Governor has the power to stop the executions. By himself, he is not able.
Only the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has that power, provided the Governor then approves it. Alone, he can only postpone it once for 30 days.
Amanda is so full of hate. Wow! I guess a hater’s gonna hate.
I wonder if Amanda finds it hard to breathe with her head up her @$$ all the time...
Karla Faye Tucker. Nuff said.
The way they talk you’d think he was Judge Roy Bean. Texas may be the leader in U.S. executions, but they’re hardly prolific, especially considering some of the material they’ve got to work with.
By the way, if Perry were a Democrat you wouldn’t be reading any of this tripe.
Personally I think it’s GREAT that Texas executes so many criminals.
Agree electric bleachers would save a lot of time and money.
it may have been intended as a hit piece, but I’m sure it’ll have the opposite effect on us bitter clingers.
Perry may have lost no sleep over Texas's 234 executions during his tenure, but the death penalty panders to crude bloodlust
Blow it out your @$$ Amanda. You are a Leftist Commie Pinko.
Amanda Marcotte
Amanda Marcotte blogs every day at Pandagon.net, and contributes a weekly podcast to RH Reality Check. She lives in Austin, TX with her two cats, boyfriend, and environmentally correct commuter bicycle.
I can just imagine what type of wimpy, cuckold, Alan Alda type the boyfriend is.
So Amanda Smanda would have the justice system operate like O’jaad would operate it...
Ohhh, so you murdered 3 people...Put a $MILLION in ObamaPak and I’ll see you get a cushy life in the federal pen, then down the line I’ll get old Bill Clinton to manage a pardon for ya. Better yet, buy the Hawaii White House for me...
Rick Perry has enough respect to trust Texans as they meet out justice. I ceratinly wouldn’t want him to be continually stepping into that process.
Outlaw Abortion and we will outlaw the death penalty. Of course all the money that is currently going to Planned Anti-Parenthood will be taken away to pay for meals and housing for all those currently on death row.
At least when you execute people on death row they are statisitcally 99.99% Guilty as opposed to those who are 100% innocent when they are killed before they are born.
For you stooges at the "Guardian" your elitist contempt for our freedom is the very reason we had a little thing called the "American Revolution". It is amazing to me that anyone in England or Europe can look down their noses at the "Bible thumpers" who saved England from invasion and freed most of Europe from Hitler. But I guess we should not expect anything more from a Leftie wrag like the Guardian. (wonder what they are guarding? hee hee hee)
I say Texas should send the next in line for execution to live with Amanda Marcotte. He/she will probably be BEGGING to be executed after about a week.
A Post from His Humbleness? LOL
All I did was look at the publisher and knew it was going to be a hit piece.
I’m glad the British wore red as their uniform so we could identify them and kick their limey azz out of our country.
Still, they have been good friends and Rick Perry would have a considerably better, No, stronger relationship with the British.
