Governor of Texas Responds to European Criticism of the Death Penalty

Dear Europe, thank you for that unsolicited advice. We shall give it the appropriate consideration.

Actual quote from Governor’s office:

“230 years ago,
our forefathers fought a war to throw off the yoke of a European monarch and
gain the freedom of self-determination. Texans long ago decided that the death
penalty is a just and appropriate punishment for the most horrible crimes
committed against our citizens. While we respect our friends in Europe, welcome
their investment in our state and appreciate their interest in our laws, Texans
are doing just fine governing Texas.”
