Well, Gary Graham is dead, as of 8:49 pm. I for one am glad that GWB stood firm and didn't grant the guy clemency (ie cave in to the political pressure he's been under). Hoorah for him!

I was watching that, I don't know anything about the case but I was bothered by the way they ( the news people ) were saying Texas gun laws allow blah blah, their rights blah blah when the armed New Black Panthers were running around.

By all means I support their RKBA as much as anyone elses but I hope the press doesn't
try to turn them into a poster child for new gun laws which is what it sounded like. A armed group of militant blacks is a good way to scare a white sheeple which is exactly what the press was trying to do. They especially harped on how it was legal for them to do that. I'm suspisious there is something more to them doing that then a group of people excersizing their rights, I suspect they are being used, either knowing or unknowingly.

let's think this over whites who own guns are extremist
but people of other pigmentations are "standing up for what they believe"
and to see jj on hanity and colms comparing the newly deceased to martin luther king ......and then he says he feels sorry for the pain g/graham's family is going thru.HEY JESSE THE MAN'S A MURDER NOT SOME FU#$%*( SAINT!!!!!!!
get a grip
time for jj and others like him to pack it in.
 
I'm glad this is over, cause I was tired of the misinformation by the media and the hell GWB was getting over this. Texas law prohibted him from being able to help Graham. Even if he wanted to grant him clemency he could not unless the parole board gave him permission to do so. The only reason it became the story it did is because Bush is running for president. In any other state, it would have been just another execution of a man who had more than his day in court. He had 19 years of his day in court. End of story....

I honestly don't know all the details of the case, but I guess I'm with mjsarge: After 19 years of his day in court, either kill him or admit that you have no confidence whatsoever in your justice system.

The situation is being turned into a race issue, by the media, and players who control that entity. They're playing race against race. And pro-2nd against anti-2nd.

We've not seen the last of this. It seems there are parties intent upon distraction from the real issues at hand, by any means possible.

The man was given his day in Court, and year after year of Courts time, via appeal, and parole board. A Jury found him guilty of crimes against society, and sentenced him.

Why did the NBP wait until the last possible moment to draw attention to Graham?
Why did they goto the streets armed to voice their opinion on Capitol Punishment?
Did they know something about this case, they weren't willing to bring forth before?

Best Regards,
Don

Why should we be shouting Hoorah!? Why should the post topic end with and exclamation point. I favor capital punishment but there is nothing joyous about it.

There is a preponderance of evidence that he did it if you examine the records. I believe the death penalty should also apply in rape cases. In any event, even when someone guilty as sin is executed, it is not a time to rejoice.

Would that Graham could have been influenced by someone as a child before it came to this. Again, I am for Capital Punishment but is a most solemn affair lest we turn it into something akin to Pro Wrestling.

Mr. Graham was reputed to have had a criminal history prior to the murder. Anybody know an online location to read about his past?

I was watching WFAA in Dallas, and one of the commentators (or is it common taters)said it best. He mentioned that the KKK was there, just like they always are at times like this, for no other reason than to get on TV.
Now, he said NOTHING about Jackson or Sharpton.
BTW, he was a black announcer.
So...who's bringing the race issue into this? Duh!

Hey Will, I agree that someone being put to death is not exactly joyous. However, with all due respect to your opinion, I'm celebrating, because he did not deserve to breathe my Texas air.
 
After 19 years, JUSTICE is FINALLY done.

No it is not cause to celebrate, but it is time to be thankfull that even if its a long arduous process, some people still are held responsible for their actions.

All the more reason while I'll be voting GW in November!

I was watching this very carefully last night.

The Houston media, which is usually pretty good, was a disgrace. They were making that racist idiot Quanell-X and gary Graham look like some kind of saints. I was furious over the whole charade.

They interviewed dozens of sobbing and "grieving" Graham supporters. All of them held up the "race card", stating that it was "the systematic elimination of our race, one by one...".

I saw only one channel that actually interviewed a few of the real victims and their families - for about 2 minutes.

In additon, KHOU Channel 11 in Houston decided to coin the new phrases "pro-death" and "anti-death" when relating to the "2 different viewpoints" on capital punishment. The whole thing made me sick. I actually called up channel 11 at one point and chewed them out for their TOTALLY biased broadcast. I'm sure it didn't do any good but I felt a bit better.

Soon, only whites will be arrested...

CMOS :mad:

NRA? Good. Now join the GOA!

The NRA is our shield, the GOA will be our sword.
 
Graham supporters crying? What about that woman he raped did she cry? Did she get 20 chances not to be raped?
What about Lambert's Kids and Grandkids? Did they cry when Daddy was killed? Did Lambert get 20 chances?

Could a group of white men parade around in fatigues with assault-style weapons and be unlolested by the Texas Rangers and DPS? Would the media make nothing of it? Could the Klan have shown up with weapons and not been arrested? Law or no law, it was not a smart thing to let the New Black Panthers walk around with weapons with the mags in even if they were unloaded in a situation like this. How can you really tell if the gun is unloaded and what if the Panthers had charged mags at the ready in their pockets? Then what?

Rigby, how do you spell relief?


**********************

Back on topic... Was the KKK even there? I have heard every talking head moron parroting off about it, but have yet to see any photos.

Also, Mr. Shoemaker wants to march around in his town common with an American Flag, an AR-15, and show respect to the Constitution and he is arrested prior to the even and charged with all sorts of BS intent crimes.

The NBP vocally call for the release of a man who admitted to shooting two people during armed robberies, vocally call out that they are armed and attempt to surround the prison, and they are called freedom-fighters??? WTF

FWIW, i'm glad Graham is dead.

"[Even if there would be] few tears shed if and when the Second Amendment is held to guarantee nothing more than the state National Guard, this would simply show that the Founders were right when they feared that some future generation might wish to abandon liberties that they considered essential, and so sought to protect those liberties in a Bill of Rights. We may tolerate the abridgement of property rights and the elimination of a right to bear arms; but we should not pretend that these are not reductions of rights." -- Justice Scalia 1998

Since when does "murderer/rapist" qualify as a race?
 
See my Topic "Black Panthers march with "Assault Rifles"" posted earlier today. From the Foxnews article I read:

"The New Black Panther Party, legally bearing assault rifles, had been holding a vigil outside the prison all day, on guard for an expected confrontation with the Ku Klux Klan....'We will not be the aggressors against anyone, but if anyone is the aggressor against us, we will give them all the hell they come looking for,' Black Panther spokesman Quanell X told the Fox News channel earlier Thursday."

My impression is that they had live ammo ready. I'm willing to bet that the fact that they were armed prevented a violent clash with the Klan. You can read my other comments in that topic posting.

Hannity and Colmes also interviewed a man who had an "encounter" with Graham a few days after the murder for which Graham was convicted. Graham tried to shoot him with a shotgun while they were on the expressway. Part of the guy's leg was blown off, and he got pellets elsewhere as well. They were wrestling with the shotgun while the car was going over 90 mph.

If Gore is elected, maybe he'll give Graham the Congressional Medal of Honor posthumously.

As for Jackson and Sharpton, JC Watts had it 100% right: race-baiting poverty pimps.

WillBeararms,

I guess I should clarify the exclamation point at the end of my "topic post." I put it there in an attempt to be facetious, as in, "he was (GASP) EXECUTED (HOW HORRIBLE)!!!" I had just finished watching the WFAA broadcast CMOS mentioned and was VERY nauseated by what I had seen. FWIW, I wasn't excited that he'd died, but I was glad to see jusice finally done. Sorry if I gave the impression that I was rejoicing or dancin' in the streets, that wasn't my intention.

That NBP Quantell X was as racist as it gets. He was spewing forth hatred- NO WAY a white would have gotten the air-time. If a white guy'd said those kinds of things, he'd have JJ Al and the NAACP down on him faster than he could blink!
