This is the second one this month here. I don't know why these people that immigrate here think that they own women.

This is disgusting. It is sick enough that these people do it in their own countries and now they want to bring it here. This man deserves to fry on the chair.

I'm the son of loyal Asian American immigrants. LEGAL ones. I am a patriotic native-born American. This kind of stuff along with all the news about illegals, terrorism, gangs, and drugs and the border really embarass me and give a bad name to all immigrants and non white or black Americans.

This is just SICK, Kev.

Why do some people come to this country seeking a "better life" yet continue to hang on to the "old ways"?

This is the wave of the future.

You know, it's their culture. We must show tolerance.

Get used to it, what are you, closed-minded?

This is the USA; we celebrate diversity and other cultures here, whether we agree with their philosophy or not.

I'm ready for one of them to do it in Texas and then they can see how quickly the good ole boys down there can get them to the lethal injection stretcher. Its going to be that kind of reaction that will slow down and eventually stop this barbaric practice.

And this is why there hasn't been an honor killing in Texas.....at least yet.

This type of thing shows the importance of assimilation. Some cultures are just not going to be harmonious, and thank god that our culture cannot and should not tolerate another culture that provides excuses for killing a daughter, as well as forcing her to marry and of course female circumcision. A very clear and definate message needs to be sent to immigrant communities that overtly or covertly accepts these practices....stop it or face jail.

Who are you kidding. Ask any south Teaxs cop about the frequency of killings on sunday in many mexican families. Often it is some guy that gets a girl pregeant and wouldn't marry her. Often this will happen at a gathering like a family eat out in whcih the father kills the guy for dishoniouring his daughter and sometimes even the grandfather.In most cases the shooters does it for the world to see and waits for the cops and freely confesses afterwards.
