SchlingFocker: Bored Horde: It's Texas. They'd execute a brain dead inmate.

Hell, if they could get the heart beating again, they'd execute a corpse.

This is true. I wonder if anyone knows the last time a Texas court found someone not to be competent to be executed.

Here in Texas, we love 'em while they're in the womb, but we can't wait to kill 'em once they're out.

What do both have in common?

Imposing your will on others. DING DING DING!

That's all this b.s. religious activism is about when you boil it down. They want to impose their will on you as a means of getting off.

And it's hardly limited to Texas (or the issue of pro-life/pro-death penalty)

And the problem is? He isn't needed in society, get rid of him.

Thisbymaster: And the problem is? He isn't needed in society, get rid of him.

Going to have to agree with Thisbymaster.

if i thought ripping my eye out would convince people im too crazy to execute i would do it to

if only there was some place you could put people like this. some place with small secure rooms and plenty of people to guard the people who stay there.

Sees what he did there.

And raises.

...to Oprah? To Paris Hilton? To George Steinbrenner? To whom?

Whether he's insane or just doing this as a crazy ploy to keep himself alive - it doesn't much matter to me. Rabid dogs have to be put down just the same as dogs who attack you because they enjoy it.

Has anyone checked his license? Is he an organ donor? If we wait much longer there won't be any organs left to harvest.

Which is exactly why he did it. He should have known that shiat like that would only work in states like New York or California.

They say that if you eat the monster's heart, you will gain its power.

Not suggesting you do, just sayin'.

This guy stabbed his family to death, ripped their hearts out and then went and told the police that God told him to do it.

What, we're supposed to keep him around for farking posterity or something? I believe that those who commit heinous crimes and don't realize it are far more dangerous than those who would calculate the same act but I firmly believe that both should be swiftly and surely excised from society like a tumor from healthy flesh.

No one is too crazy to execute.

FTFA: Thing is, it wasn't the only time Thomas had plucked out an eye. While in the Grayson County Jail five days after his arrest, Thomas plucked out his right eye. A judge subsequently ruled he was competent to stand trial.

If it didnt work the first time he did it, why did he think it would work the second time?

Here in Texas, we love 'em while they're in the womb, but we can't wait to kill 'em once they're out.

I bet if 'they' didn't murder some one, ya know like mutilation... riping hearts out and such, the 'they' would not be in a texas capital punishment queue.
Just a guess.

Well, of course Odin gained wisdom and foresight by sacrificing one eye. This guy is clearly twice as smart.

Would Odin regret this? (new window)

I don't know what you guys are biatching about. It's normal and customary for a condemned man to be allowed to choose his last meal.

With these hungry eyes
Now did I take you by surprise
I need you to see

You stay classy, Texas.

"...and said God told him to commit them."

I wonder if the south's insistance on the sanity of religious conviction has anything to do with this denial of fact...

It sucks that Texas is so gung ho about the death penalty in the first place, but I think the distinction between mentally competent and incompetent is ridiculous and probably only helps them to rationalize their killing by allowing them to say they are particular about which murderers they kill. But I find it even worse that would maintain this mental capacity rule only to circumvent it whenever they feel like it highlighting just how much of a farce the distinction really is.

/Can we please get a TEXAS tag already?

Oh well.

Meanwhile hospice patients who wants to die are being denied that right.

Texas is really a messed up state. It's ok to kill the insane guy, but the sane person who wants to die a few weeks early to escape the pain of illness has no choice become some politicians feel that violates their own religion.

Can we kick it out of the union please? It was on it's own at one point. I don't see why can't revert back to that.

Kerubim: Approves of eye eating.

Came for this.

I dunno... I think in this case it'd be an act of mercy. Christ. Some people are just going to lead tortured existences. Would you rather spend fifty years blind in a 8x8 room?

If I'm ever executed, I hope someone shoots me in the back of the head a month before my date. I'd rather just go than think about it until it made me sick and weirdly philosophical.

If the death penalty was a deterrent to crime, why are there so many on death row?

"Ma'am, we're glad to inform you that DNA evidence has proven beyond all reasonable doubt that your husband, the father of your children, is innocent. We'll revive his corpse and bring him to you directly. You might want to advise him to be rich enough to afford a good lawyer before being falsely accused again. Oh, and tell him to be white, that will help him avoid this whole execution mess in the future."

Right on, brother!
Californians aren't so bad. True crazies are from Kentucky. Their select inbreeding and isolation have produced the finest! Kentuckians would be the first to tell you that too. Children of the corn, no shiat.

if you were insane, you wouldn't be trying to make us think you are insane, eh???

"His wife and their 4-year-old son were killed in the same attack. The victims were stabbed and their hearts were ripped out. Thomas, 26, then reportedly walked into the Sherman Police Department, admitted to the killings and said God told him to commit them."

Really, if you believe in a magic man in the sky - YOU ARE CRAZY.

no no no, not all Texans are that way.
Our state needs a Die with Dignity law very badly

Thomas, 26, then reportedly walked into the Sherman Police Department, admitted to the killings and said God told him to commit them.

How do we know he isn't telling the truth. It wouldn't be the first time God made a request like that. Who are we to question his faith?
