We've exterminated another Convicted Killer in Texas.Last night's administering of the Lethal Needle to Luis Salazar makes it two nights in a row the Huntsville Death Chamber has done its job, extending Texas' lead in the National Execution Sweepstakes en route to maintaining its position as the #1 Executing State in America.
Last night's execution was reported in a small blurb on page 4 of the A section in this morning's Dallas Morning News, next to a full page Dillard's ad. Dillard's is known, by some, as Killard's, due to a reputation for shooting and killing suspected shoplifters. That reputation may be dying down because it has been a while since a Dillard's security guard has shot and killed anyone.
Luis Salazar got the Lethal Needle for stabbing to death a San Antonio mother of three, who's oldest kid was wounded in the attack as he tried to defend his mom.
Salazar said, to his own mom, brothers and sisters and his children, prior to being killed, that "I'm going to miss them and take them with me in my heart."
Last night's was the 12th Texas Execution of 2009 in what the Dallas Morning News proudly calls "the nation's busiest capital punishment state."
