I suspect that their idea of "cleaning up" consisted of shoving the shit over the edge. Shooting 'em was a bit over the top, even for Texas; I'd definitely have tried the flaming paper bag in an attempt to convey a message.

I wouldn't worry about the cellmate problem. This is Texas: they fry a prisoner a week and the insanity defense don't count for shit, unless you're white. Are Asians white in Texas?

Welcome to the exact reason that the NRA wants to try to ensure that the only shootings anyone ever talks about are mass shootings committed by people with histories that strongly suggest mental illness.

Because if responsible, law-abiding citizens are a nuisance neighbor and a gun away from becoming multiple murderers, it makes the NRA's stand look like conspiracy to tens of thousands of murders, doesn't it?

I love the mentality. "Hey I hear a shootin' goin' on. Not gon' call no cops, just gon' wait a couple minutes 'fore I go out fer a smoke"
