White supremacist gang member Lawrence Russell Brewer was executed Wednesday evening for the infamous dragging death slaying of James Byrd Jr., a black man from East Texas.
Byrd, 49, was chained to the back of a pickup truck and pulled whip-like to his death along a bumpy asphalt road in one of the most grisly hate crime murders in recent Texas history.

Long overdue. They both should have been sentenced to be dragged to death.

Where is all the braying that Perry didn't stop the execution?

That an innocent man was put to death?

That the death penalty is evil and needs to be stopped?

That he didn't get a chance for another appeal?
