Texas Execution #14

Ronald Ray Howard was executed last night for the killing of a trooper during a road side stop thirteen years ago. "Howard told a grand jury [comment: his lawyer sent him in front of a grand jury?] that he was listening to Soulja's Story by Tupac Shakur before he shot Davidson. The song makes references to a young black male being pulled over by police, remembering Rodney King, then opening fire on an officer." "As the drugs were administered, he lifted his head from the gurney and mouthed that he loved them, urged them to be strong and said, 'I'm going home.'"

I guess I don't get your point.

Rap songs cause violence?

Blacks are afraid of cops so it makes it okay to shoot them?

If I shot a cop, I would expect I would get the death penalty.

thank god we use letheal injections here in the state of texas if this guy shot a cop for the main fact that he was afraid that he would be hurt what did he think killing a sworn officer of the law was going to get him an award for good citizenship any one that kills a cop for tghe reasons that this guy shot this officer should get the death penalty i have to commend the other officers who arrested this man i would think that it would of been harrd not to of shot him
