This Tommy Lynn Sells has a history that should take him beyond any delays by the bench.

Why not use illegal drugs seized by the state? I’m sure that a meth or heroin overdose would be effective.

Indeed. Adios, Mofo.

There should be no mercy toward those who wantonly murder and show none to their victims.

If you kill someone in Texas, Texas will kill you back.

This is something I have been wondering for a very long time.

Years ago Texas Monthly ran a snippet about lethal injection drugs having to be proven “safe and effective.” The headline was “One out of Two Ain’t Bad”.

Judge are not Judges any more, fifteen minutes of fame superceeds any Voter or jury decision. When the mandate is clear and a Judge intervenes they should be thrown off the bench and disbarred! We have become a Country of a voice of one, unless another Judge steps up to the plate! The Supreme Court can’t even follow the mandate of law without Politics coming in to play! Enough is enough!

I think families of the victim could pedal a bicycle powered generator if they wanted. Sure it won’t be as powerful, and will take longer, probably have to let several family take turns to get it done.

Going to be a while, granny wants her turn to spark the child molester...

Safe?

If they work, by definition it isn’t safe.
