Texas convict who kidnapped girl from store, strangled her to death and burned body executed

Convicted child killer David Renteria was put to death by lethal injection by the state of Texas on Thursday night.

This shitbag done got the religion in prison and here's part of what he had to say as his last words:

Renteria said he "forgave" those who "called for [his] death and transgressed against [him] and want [him] murdered."

What the actual ****??

 

[SamSpade]

I would think if he truly “got religion” he’d express deep remorse for his crimes. They would recognize that they are in fact, getting what they deserve.

Watched a crime story show from UK, 30 days after conviction they drop you. Under a year from crime to drop.

I've read a number of reasons why it takes so long - surprisingly ONE of the reasons is - acquiring the drugs needed for lethal injection, the preferred method of execution. Drug companies don't like the idea of their drugs being used to kill people, so they throw up roadblocks for their use in this manner.

But mostly - it's appeals. They can drag on forever. Frankly, I think a lot of them should be struck down. The AVERAGE person sits on death row for twenty years. TWENTY FRICKIN' YEARS. Duly convicted and only 5% ever get a reprieve.

As Ron White once observed - they need to add an express lane.

If he truly "got religion", that's between him and God. He still broke man's law and should've died at least 29 years ago, IMHO.

 

[Hijinx]

This talk of not having the drugs to execute someone is pure bullsht.
The isn't an evidence room in any courthouse that doesn't have fentanyl in it.
You don't even have to shoot them up with it , Just lave it in their cell and they will use it themselves.

How much does a rope cost?

I hear Ace Hardware has plenty.

I thought the UK and other Euorpeans stopped the death penalty.

Well, the drug thing started with empathy, then became a tool for the left to use to do "backdoor" bans on execution. Keep removing drugs from the list, start pressure campaigns against the few remaining companies, pretty soon it's impossible to get the job done. That's how they worked it in MD.

 

[glhs837]

And yes, and express lane when certain levels of incontrovertible proof are present. I always go back to the two animals in CT who beat Dad senseless then took Mom to and ATM and then raped Mom and one daughter then tied Mom and both daughters to beds and lit the house on fire.

They were caught leaving the scene. Never any doubt they did it. Just who did exactly what. Fry both of them at the friken stake.

Drug companies don't like the optics of their drugs being used to kill people.

They don't actually mind their drugs being used to kill people; exhibit A is the jab that can't be talked about on antisocial media.

It's the imagery that they don't like.

As for people who commit heinous crimes? I'd be more than okay if we did the same exact thing to them that they did to their victim(s).

After raping them repeatedly, beating them, and THEN burning them alive.

He did on some level, then launched into how he forgives the people who want to see him punished for the awful crime he committed.

Think about the shitbag lawyers who represented him and filed appeals on his behalf all those years..... They're no better than he is and I don't care about their holier than thou proclamations. I'd strap them to the chair too.

Yeah, I don't buy it. I don't see how anyone can come to God and NOT be fully aware that you're a sinner and deserve death even BEFORE you commit a crime the state wants to execute you for.

You know the song "Amazing Grace"? Aside from having BEEN enslaved, John Newton was a slave trader. When he says in the hymn, "that saved a wretch like me" - he meant it. He was once a truly horrible man - and spent the rest of his life fighting for the abolition of slavery. He spent the rest of his life in shame of what he had done. "It will always be a subject of humiliating reflection to me, that I was once an active instrument in a business at which my heart now shudders".

History is full of people who were once terrible people, and spent their lives trying to make up for their crimes. This man not only shows no remorse, but somehow wants to appear righteous for being executed for doing what he deserved. Even the thief on the cross admitted that while Jesus was innocent - he deserved his fate.

And well - lawyers are barely human. At least with lawyers, they don't care much of guilt or innocence, as long as there's a buck to be made, they'll work every angle of the law to win. While that sounds sick, I shudder to live in a world where lawyers are all left wingers who won't touch defendants they don't agree with or are openly bigoted.

Take him to the top of a ten story building and throw him off. He can pray for forgiveness on the way down.

Along with Arthur Engoron, Jack Smith, Letitia James ,and Fanni Willis.

I was put to death (I think) quickly.

It was a true crime from about 100 years ago. Included the inspector taking a faster steamer to Canada to greet them at the dock. The has several stories, all seem to have it carried out in a month.
