The Real Gun Guys

Jose Medellin Dead

With what amounts to a big “middle finger” to Mexico, President Bush and The World Court, Texas has put the POS to death like it said it would. I am actually not a fan of the death penalty, as there have been and probably are people who have been wrongfully convicted (not to mention that it gives the State the ultimate power over the individual), but in this case the POS got what he deserved. I’d have thrown the switch myself, and smiled while I did it. There were cheaper options (bullet to the back of the head), and more just (slow excruciating torture followed by strangulation followed by stomping), but in this case I’d say justice was served, even if it was fourteen years too late.

In case you are unaware of what this POS did, you can read it here. I’ve excerpted it below as well. As bad as the crime is depicted as below, the newspaper story left out the more gory details. Trust me, it was much worse.

Students at Waltrip High School, Jennifer was 14, and Elizabeth had just turned 16. Their lives were filled with the things that occupy teenage girls. Friends recalled Elizabeth, who was beginning to dabble with makeup, as a “social butterfly.” Jennifer tried her hand at basketball before concluding she wasn’t cut out for athletics.

On June 24, 1993, the girls were at a party at a friend’s apartment when they realized the lateness of the hour. Following the railroad tracks through T.C. Jester Park, they concluded, would shave 10 minutes off their trip to Elizabeth’s Oak Forest home.

As the girls made their way past a thicket near White Oak Bayou, they stumbled onto the tail end of a drunken gang initiation. When they blundered into the group of youths, Medellin — 5 feet, 5 inches tall and weighing just 135 pounds — grabbed Elizabeth and flipped her to the ground. Jennifer, drawn by Elizabeth’s scream, turned to help and was herself captured.

As the teens cried and struggled, six gang members took turns raping them.

Finally, gang leader Peter Cantu told Medellin, “We’re going to have to kill them.”

Gang members Derrick O’Brien and Raul Villarreal looped a belt around Jennifer’s throat, pulling with such force that the belt broke. Cantu, Medellin and Efrain Perez strangled Elizabeth with a shoelace. Then they stomped on the girls’ throats for good measure.

Four days later, police, acting on a tip from a gang member’s brother, found the teens’ bodies, badly decomposed in the summer heat.

The victims were identified through dental records.

And some out there want to take away my guns? With animals like this running around? No F&%$ing way! As Charleton Heston once said, “From my cold dead hands!”
