    Outrage at Texas judge who said it's 'time for a tree and a rope' for black suspect who 'killed cop
    By Daily Mail Reporter
    Published: 20:00 EST, 23 November 2016 Updated: 20:27 EST, 23 November 2016



    A Texas judge has come under fire for making a racially insensitive comment on Facebook about the suspect arrested in the shooting death of San Antonio police officer Detective Benjamin Marconi.

    Burnet County Judge James Oakley of ewood wrote on the San Antonio police department's Facebook wall under a mug shot of suspect Otis Tyrone McKane, according to a screenshot, 'Time for a tree and a rope.'

    Several people 'liked' the comment, but others were outraged.

    'Very inappropriate remark,' wrote on commenter. 'I am as angry as anyone but for you to use FB to Lost my further support.'

    once a slave state, always a slave state. That culture didn't evaporate in 1865 or 1965.

    Doubt he was to be the trial judge.

    Due process will stand unless we just drone his ass like the other American citizens we've killed over the last few years.

    I'm gonna take a couple of controversial stands...

    I'm not in favor of re-classifying attacks on Police at terrorists acts.....I think they are de able acts, as the Marconi murder shows, but a terrorist act should be an attack on the general populous and not specific to any group/individual...

    I don't think that's particularly controversial. I agree.

    Also, mandatory death sentence or mandatory minimum sentences could limit the judicial system from running a more reasonable course of action . For instance, see 3 strike laws or mandatory minimum sentences laws....if the DA wants capital murder, then bring the charges and prove it in court on a case by case basis....for instance, what if some 18 year old kid gets drunk and kills a cop sitting on the side of the road, could the kid get life or the death sentence based on the new classification? I support the Marconi family in their loss, especially on this day of being grateful for what we have, but lets not let our hearts lead or heads here...

    By definition your drunk teenager example doesn't qualify as a capital crime.

    He wasn't a citizen. He was an enemy combatant of war who tried to resist capture with deadly force.

    Yes, during the Rodney King riots. We were hung from telephone poles in Los Angeles.

    In all probability Bin Laden probably did it.

    The point is moot now though. Barry lynched him, just like that.

    I was attempting to project making the killing of any police officer while on duty a capital crime as some want...

    Don't care what color he is. He murdered someone in cold blood. Nobody should be shedding a tear for that piece of waste.

    Funny how tree and rope became a black thing when historically whites have been hanged at a much much higher clip. In Texas it means vigilante justice, nothing like the Mississippi Burning aspect but a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest.

    Dale, OBL got due process. He got what was due.

    btw, as someone once said, you'll be hanged, not hung. You're not a tapestry.

    OBL doesn't fall under the Bill of Rights, he's not afforded due process. Plenty in the WTC weren't as well.
