for his war crimes.

3. Yup everyone in Texas is violating the Ten Commandments!

And it's the big one too. Thou shalt not kill. The state government is the people. The state enacts the peoples will. The state kills someone and the people by the state's act are made guilty & must answer to God. I don't think God forgives this sin, so all the Christians in Texas are going to hell. He might forgive those who obey his commandments & outlaw the death Penalty.

8. It really means.

Thou shalt not murder..killing in war or defending yourself is different.

4. This whole issue is way too complicated for the majority of voters in Texas.

I suspect that, since most of the politicians in Texas are Republicans and therefore whole or
partly sociopaths, the man in question is f*cked.

An informed, caring populace would have no problem letting this man live.

Note (Majority of voters= right-wing)
