#2 I understand that in Saudi Arabia the way they deal with this kind of thing is that the family of the victim has the right to either personally behead the criminal or pardon him while he's kneeling there at the chopping block. Hmm . . . .

#5 That's why I like the death penalty to - no recidivism and the human carbon blob in question no longer wastes are oxygen or fills our sewers with their excretement. Adios Angel (I know it's a typical mexi-name but what an ironic first name, just glad he wasn't named Jesus.) Personally, I'd prefer to see him publicly dealt with.

#7 Seems AP can't use use the words "illegal alien" much like European press can't use the world "muslim". My city just got done convicting an illegal alien of the rape and murder of two young women. Law abiding my ass.

As Investors Business Daily reported in March 2005:
"The U.S. Justice Department estimated that 270,000 illegal immigrants served jail time nationally in 2003. Of those, 108,000 were in California. Some estimates show illegals now make up half of California's prison population, creating a massive criminal subculture that strains state budgets and creates a nightmare for local police forces." Citing an Urban Institute study, director of research for the Center for Immigration Studies Steven Camorata noted in 2004: "Roughly 17 percent of the prison population at the federal level are illegal aliens. That's a huge number since illegal aliens only account for about 3 percent of the total population."

#8 Given what the Alien does in Ridley Scott's movie I am not eager to have in town, legal or illegal.

BTW, who won in the "Alien vs Predator" movie.

#12 ed, lol.

There was an illegal here in eastern NC that killed a woman while he was DUI recently. Had a background of misconduct in our country but was never deported. Pathetically sad.

#13 If there is no sequel, then mankind wins.

Right. I finally found the summary of AVP and the end is idiotic and reeks of prelude for another sequel(in their dreams given how angry the fans are): an Alien in a Predator spaceship (yeah right: Predators aren't aware of what can hide in the corpse of those killed during the test so they don't monitor them, also it would be a single unmature Alien versus a whole crew of adult Predators who passed the test with flying colors) and the action scene I saw in movie was silly: the Predator kicks Alien's ass, gets it in a net and instead of finishing it at his leisure, lets it melt the net (you would think Predators have developed Alien-proof nets isn't it?), falls in cheap trick and gets himself killed. Ridiculous.

#14 Severely OT : Re the Aliens and Predator universe, IIRC thanks to the good Dark Horse comics series I used to read and quite a few novels I didn't read, the background was in fact much more expanded and well-thought/coherent than what transpired in the AVP movie (which I didn't bother to watch due to cheesiness factor, will get it on cable)... but alas, the movie reigns supreme in the franchise universe, so all the post-"Aliens" comics, and their centuries spanning arcs describing the expansion of the bio-engineered aliens, the footsoldiers of a "seeders" race, across the universe, the invasion of Earth, etc, etc,... were made apocryphia by "Alien 3" and "Alien 4", though they were much more interesting story-wise. Ditto for the Predators, and the Aliens vs Predators angle.

#15 Already executed I believe. I saw Nancy Grace CNN interview one of the relatives of one of the (many) victims. Grace asked if she (the relative) thought Resendiz could be rehabilitated. The victim's relative was nearly speechless at the question. The Communist News Network (CNN) once again scored a news scoop (much cynicism implied). CNN is no better than the NYT and the rest of the MSM scum-swilling bottom feeders that call themselves journalists.

Sure, he can be rehabilitated...thats what Dante's fifth concentric circle of hell is for.
The State of Texas just needed to provide the ground transportation.
