Texas: Tough on Murderers

I told you Texas was tough on murderers:

Murderer tries to hug mom after verdict, Tasered

Moments after being convicted of capital murder and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, a Houston man was Tasered into submission today as he tried to go over the court railing to hug his mother.

“He said, ‘I want to hug my mother, I want to hug my mother,’” said Don Becker the attorney for Joe Nathan Sanders Jr.

Sanders,33, was convicted this afternoon of killing his ex-girlfriend’s sister, Angela Alex, who was pregnant with his child, Becker said.

Sorry, Joe — but when you kill people in Texas, you get NO sympathy and NO compassion. Period.

Unless they are a security risk, I have often seen defendants allowed to hug their mothers — even in Texas. However, it is not a right you demand. Here, the jury was filing out of the courtroom, he had about 12 supporters in the court, his mom is screaming, and idiot decides on his own to jump the rail. It doesn’t work that way.

This is another sad case of people not being able to keep it in their pants. The victim was married and had four children. Her sister is in prison, she begins schtupping her sister’s boyfriend, ends up pregnant, and shot four times and left to bleed to death in the street.

Ah, what tangled webs we weave . . .

yeah the more time goes on texas becomes less of a good place to live, that much is certain. ever since the 80’s with the influx of northerners and flood of illegals…it’s downright hostile…prime example: years ago Texans used to let other drivers pass them from behind while on the highway. when someone came up from behind, a polite driver would pull slightly right on the shoulder so the person could pass on by…and believe it or not boys and girls, the person would actually give a friendly wave of gratitude as they passed….of course now, the attitude is get out of my way you piece of sh** before I run you over.!! oh yeah, and let me flip you the bird as I go by. now you just hope you don’t get shot…….yeah it ain’t the polite south of old where manners actually did exist and people who check you out at stores actually said “thank you, come again.!” now your just as likely to get a F*** you look. and for sure no one says thanks anymore. and your lucky to find someone in a store to help you that speaks English beyond “hello”……….ah, I love progress
