My bet is that they will execute a non-murderer and wear it as a badge of pride.

What an f****d up state with the exception being the reasonable people of Austin (not including the Texas legislature that convenes biennially there),

Not being glib. Of the places I've lived, 19 years of residency have been in that state. I don't view it through John Wayne glasses.

I think you might need Charlton Heston glasses.
