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

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.'

So much for due process in Texas I suppose....I wonder who Oakley voted for in the last election btw.....

I don't recall Bin Laden getting any of that due process.
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...
Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving everyone. Off to eat a yummy meal.
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.
Pfft facts..you clearly don't know how to argue in today's America
Relax, I was just checkin' assholes.
I'm confused.
Didn't white people get hung for crimes also?
I'm all for due process, then a tree and a rope.
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.
There is zero proof on Bin Laden...be difficult to prove IMO.
I was attempting to project making the killing of any police officer while on duty a capital crime as some want...
Texas was never a slave state, moron.
Don't care what color he is. He murdered someone in cold blood. Nobody should be shedding a tear for that piece of waste.
Technically it was. Some owned slaves in east Texas.
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.
Ignorant less
