Latino Man's Justice 2008: Texas Grand Jury Clears White Man In Execution Of Burglers
The headline of this article could have been "White Man Cleared Of SHOOTING Burglars", but when you go outside and shoot two guys in the back with a shotgun who weren't even robbing you, but your neighbors house; then effectively that is an "execution."
Suburban White home owner Joe Horn, 61, was cleared of any criminal misdoings in the killing of suspected burglars, Hernando Riascos Torres, 38, and Diego Ortiz, 30,two unemployed illegal immigrants from Colombia.
This grand jury after all was a Texas Grand Jury and we know killing people of color in Texas is just a natural thing. And even though Torres was deported to Colombia in 1999 after a 1994 cocaine-related conviction. That is still no reason to soot someone in the back with a shotgun, because this grand jury has just made it open hunting season on people of people of color. But once again it's Texas and when has killing "brown" people gone out of style in Texas. All the crazy details are here in the AP story at the Sydney Morning Herald
