Prosecutors to seek death penalty over Texas shooting
2019-08-05
[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] Prosecutors are to seek the death penalty for the gunman behind a mass shooting at a Walmart store in Texas that killed 20 people, the local district attorney said on Sunday.

“I can tell you from the outset, the state charge is capital murder and so he is eligible for the death penalty,” District Attorney Jaime Esparza told a press conference.

“We will seek the death penalty.”

(A few thoughts for those who lost their lives in El Paso.)

A timeless story
That has no end
a love like ours
not, and never ever can die
I want to be in your soul
a happy moment
I will love you forever
I will live within you

In the days of pain
feel my love
that will come with the wind
that will come with the sun
in the eyes of god
Far away from you
You will see me in dreams
You will feel my kisses
and you will hear my laughter

if you feel alone
and you are in silence
think about my touches
and our secrets
I want to be in your soul
a happy moment
I will love you forever
I will live within you

In the days of pain
feel my love

#9  He is sitting surrounded by a lot of latino inmates in jail, including MS13. He will be wishing he had not survived.

See the ethnicity entry. The stupid bastard changing the entries, in a rush entered his/her/its own ethnicity for the white, part hispanic Crusius'. No one who's not wakandan ever writes himself in as wakandan. Racism aside, it's basic human vanity.

#7  I can't make up my mind between crucifixion, the Blood Eagle or drawing and quartering.... all of which are prominent among my ancestors. Perhaps I shall have to embrace the power of "AND".

#4  chris, if they kill him onsite, they won't be able to establish his connection to, and devotion for, Trump. /sarcasm

#3  I just don't understand how he wasn't killed at the site of the shooting. You know damn well he still had the gun in his hand when confronted , why not save everyone alot of time and hassle and shoot him down when you have the oppurtunity?
