As Ron White (comedian) says, when you come to Texas and kill someone, we will kill you back.

Proud of my State.

well, you are correct, of course.

Very good post.

There should be no sympathy for the murderer.

I shouldn’t admit it, but I take some gratification in knowing that due to the last minute interference of his would be saviours, he suffered a few additional hours of agonizing anticipation.

I am native Texian. There were many decades that I looked to Mexico as a friend....and visited at least yearly. Now, it is becoming the Afghanistan of the Western World....

Many of the people of Mexico now despise America and Americans.....and many Americans now feel the same way about Mexico and Mexicans.

We are headed for a showdown....

Might I correct your grammar?

Get the F out

Punctuation is missing here because I don't have a symbol for a bayonet......which we should be using to prod them toward the border.

P.S. To Mexico, World Court, Liberals everywhere...Very simple way to avoid the death penalty. Don't come to Texas to do your crime. Oh, and F all of you.

Here’s a thought. How about expressing concern for the horrendous sanitary conditions that exist in Mexico; the overwhelming poverty; the fact that a civilization that was here for thousands of years before America is a backward, filthy, destitute, hell hole and is currently invading the USA to get away from these conditions.

Medellin wasn't allowed to consult the Mexican consulate for legal help following his arrest.

Talk about journalistic spin.

It is not true that the authorities refused to allow Medellin to consult the Mexican consulate. The authorities did not know, at the time of his arrest, that Medellin was a Mexican national. That fact was not brought to anyone's attention until four years after his trial.

“This is another murder because no one has the right to take someone else’s life, only God,”

And Texas!

Nothing can bring back Elizabeth and Jennifer. A bullet in the back of the head is what this ugly human deserved. It would have been quicker and a lot cheaper but this is the U.S. of A. and even a-holes like this illegal piece of human scum had to have his day in court...!

May this stand as a reminder to all other illegals who commit such crimes.
