Despite a tsunami of hand-wringing and cries of protestation from unknown numbers of bleeding hearts, including President Obama, this earthly world is home to one less brutal killer and rapist.
That good news is the result of the fact that Humberto Leal Garcia was executed in Texas and pronounced dead this evening.
To those prone to weeping seizures, save your tears. Garcia got exactly what he deserved for the May 21, 1994 murder and rape of 16-year-old Adra Sauceda in San Antonio.
Sadly, Adra was just 16 when her life was brutally taken from her. Incredibly, it has taken 17 years for the wheels of justice to deliver his just rewards to Humberto Leal Garcia.
Garcia was a Mexican citizen which caused Mexican President Felipe Calderon and others with myopic vision to argue against the application of justice in Texas.
According to Calderon, and apparently President Obama, the rule of law does not apply to Mexicans, regardless of how egregious their crimes.
But now justice has been served and Humberto Leal Garcia will no longer be a threat to rape or kill anyone.
Praise be to God!
Garcia’s demise may also be a deterrent to other would-be rapists and murderers, especially those with their eyes on Texas.
Let the message go forth loud and clear: Don’t Mess With Texas!
Thank you, Governor Perry, for standing your ground and making Texas, America and the world a safer place for all.

John escaped the Bay Area in May and now lives in Pine Grove California where conservative values are still in vogue.
