Joe Horn was No-Billed by the Harris County Grand Jury.



Yep, that's Texas' idea of justice. The death sentence for simple theft. No
doubt the two executed were dirt bags and deserved jail sentences but not
death. If you're going to mete out the death sentence for something as
simple as theft why stop there? Why not for things like traffic violations,
animal abuse, wife beating, and other crimes that are just as minor as
theft?

Since the state of Texas decided that shooting unarmed people in the back is
not criminal behavior at least it would be nice to see the relatives of the
executed sue for wrongful death.
