But he was smart enough to kill. Good riddance.

Marvin Wilson Execution: Texas Puts Man With 61 IQ To Death

Pot meet kettle. Anyone making such an ignorant statement obviously is in the 60 IQ range. Maybe this execution was a sibling.

You loonie liberals could care less about the man executed. Just another Texas-bashing thread.

Nothing new here.

One more dude that will not kill again see ya

why do liberals take the side of the bad guys?

where is the sympathy for the murdered victim?

the victim only got 21 years on this planet, so i will save my sympathy for the victim and his family.

for the record on texas-texas is getting an influx of people so many people must feel that texas is doing something right.

If any of you f#tards don't want to come to Texas because of your idiotic presumptions, then the state will be the better for it. Here is a clue: If you don't like a law in any particular state - criticize the law, not every person from that state as if they all are responsible. It is a guarantee that your state has equally stupid laws (every state does).

This guy committed a premeditated homocide. He was smart enough to plan the murder so he is smart enough to hang. Why not just figure that out, present it to a jury and after the jury finding him guilty, just hang him from a gallows no matter his self proclaimed mental capacity?

Why should pest control be so expensive? Just reuse the rope.

Seriously, do you folks ever advance an honest argument, or is it always strawmen, dubious data and outright fabrications?

I think the context is that the left celebrates a woman's right to choose to abort. And yes, when Obama reminds women of their "right to Choose," in the context of abortion rights, they sure as hell cheer.

Then you would be for the so-called "Death Panels" that the RW was braying about before SCOTUS affirmed the legality of President Obama's Healt Plan?

And would no doubt be put down if it did.

But this is a question I pose. I don't like how IQ is used by alot of people. On one hand a person with an IQ of 61 is considered retarded. On the other hand, if that person commits murder and gets put to death for it, then IQ is thrown out the window. If a person is legitimately retarded, then why is a person who can't really think for himself being executed? If that person really isn't retarded, then IQ tests are a crock.
