In January 1994, Tamayo shot and killed police officer Guy Gaddis, 24, as he was being arrested for robbery. He was in the US illegally.

Adios Edgar

Our country, our laws, live with it

If you go to Mexico as a tourist, you’re an idiot.

[hal ogen]

The sad thing is that the taxpayer has taken the check for this criminal for the past 20 years.

This game has been played before. Texas will follow through, again.

Let's say you're in Texas.

You break the laws of Texas in Texas.

I would say that you have to live by the rules in Texas, regardless of what a foreign nation or the federal government thinks or wishes.

[I cannot think of a name]

As a Texan I have to say,

my only regret is that we retired ‘ol sparky.

All that quiet laying on a comfortable bed just going to sleep don’t seem like justice to me.

Mexico needs to build a border fence to protect their people from these evil racist rednecks in Texas.

And in New Mexico, Arizona, and California

A nice tall one will keep those white devils away!

[Former President George W Bush ordered Texas and other states to review the cases, but the US Supreme Court ruled in favour of the state in 2008, saying the president could not effectively enforce The Hague's ruling, leaving it to Congress to pass legislation.]

Texas took this issue to the Supreme Court and won.

Will Mexico pay his incarceration bills. If not, they should shut up, and be ashamed for letting this criminal come here. Hang him, and save the rope for the next one.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Get arrested in Mexico? You spend months, even years inside one of their notorious prisons. The only way you're getting out if you got a rich relative who will front bribe money. And that's if one of the esses don't beat the crap out of you first.

[Blood of Tyrants]

In other words, there is no doubt about his guilt, just some squishy liberals who think the innocent should die and the guilty should be spared.

[TexasCajun]

In Texas, we don't just have a Death Row, we have an Express Lane!!

Hey, Edgar. Everything's bigger in texas. Just sayin...

[Still Thinking]

Should he have been notified of his right to talk to the consulate? Yea. Would it in all likelihood have changed the verdict and should that fact therefore be cause to set aside the sentence? No. They caught him running away with the murdered cop’s watch.

Mexico says Wednesday's execution of Edgar Tamayo, 46, will violate international law.

F them.

Mexico says Wednesday's execution of Edgar Tamayo, 46, will violate international law.

You mean like the law about sneaking into a country illegally!] and committing murder!!!

[stars & stripes forever]

Don’t mess with Texas.

[a fool in paradise]

If he had never illegally entered the country, he could’ve engaged in his life of crime under Mexico’s legal system.

Instead he was apprehended, and while in custody, shot and killed a man (of which there is no doubt).

Meanwhile, I’m still waiting for Nadil Hasan’s death sentence to be carried out.

About 11 or 12 minutes to go! GO TEXAS!

[DallasSun]

Do they really expect the state of Texas to care? You kill a law enforcement officer in Texas, expect to be executed. We would do booster executions every five years for cop killers if we could.
