UPDATE (August 7) — He’s dead.
______
Yesterday, the state of Texas confirmed that if you come to Texas and kill our citizens, you will pay the ultimate price for your crimes.
The execution of Heliberto Chi tomorrow will the the second execution in Texas this month…with four more to follow before the end of the month.
The remaining August lineup:
- August 7 — Heliberto Chi
- August 12 — Leon Dorsey
- August 14 — Michael Rodriguez
- August 20 — Denard Manns
- August 21 — Jeffery Wood
We don’t care if you’re a citizen of another country living here illegally. Just ask Jose Medellin (oh, wait. You can’t. He’s dead.)
Two days after Texas carried out the execution of Medellin — despite being “prohibited” from doing so by the World Court — Texas is set to execute another foreign national.
On August 7, Heliberto Chi of Honduras will be put to death for the 2001 murder of Armand Paliotta, a clothing store manager in Arlington, TX.
Texas — it’s like a whole other country. One with balls, though. Unlike much of the rest of the United States.

You just had to throw in that sentence about Big Balls, didn’t you!
Now I will have that song stuck in my head all day.
