Douglas Feldman killed two truck drivers 45 minutes apart from each other in 1998
The first one was killed for cutting Feldman off on a Texas highway
Mr. Feldman says he killed the second simply because he was still angry
Feldman was pronounced dead 13 minutes after a lethal injection at 6:28 p.m. CDT
Before his death, he used the names of his victims and declared, like a judge or jury, he had found them guilty of crimes against him
He appeared nervous, breathing quickly and his feet twitching
As the drug began taking effect, he grimaced twice, took a few deep breaths and began snoring before all movement stopped
Defiant until the end, still maintaining that he was in the right to murder these two people because of his bad move.
ReplyDeleteThis guy sounds like an incorrigible sociopath. Good riddance.
bad mood*
DeleteAnyone who would make jokes about a child's death, is certainly capable of such behavior.
DeleteTook them too long to put him down. There was no refute to his guilt. The express lane to the chamber should have been shorter and faster.
ReplyDeleteEvidence showed he got into trouble as a juvenile, had drug possession and selling issues and wound up in state custody. He also had robbery and drug convictions.
ReplyDeleteWhile the article doesn't say for sure, a robbery conviction would have made him a prohibited person and unable to legally own firearms. As Tennessean so eloquently said, "Good Riddance"
You know I would have loved to entitle the post "Lawful gun owner executed."
DeleteWhat it shows though is that there's very little difference between lawful gun owners and disqualified persons in cases like this.
Very little difference? So you see serious criminal behavior as no big deal?
DeleteThe impression I get is that in Mike's view he sees the difference between a lawful gun owner and a criminal as mostly being a matter of timing. The lawful gun owner either hasn't committed his criminal acts yet, or perhaps not been discovered yet.
DeleteI'm not sure if he feels the same way about soldiers and policemen, perhaps they're "different" because they work for the government.
Your remark about how I might feel about cops and soldiers is bullshit. You should already know I hold them to the same high standards.
DeleteThere's a big gray area where the lawful gun owners and the criminal gun owners meet. I did a Venn Diagram once. At the extreme left of the criminal balloon you've got some really bad guys, unlike anything in the lawful group. Likewise on the extreme right of the lawful balloon you've got the straightest most responsible guys who could never be confused with the criminals.
But the largest portion is where the two groups overlap. That's where you guys are all more or less the same. First cousins of the gun, I call them.
Mikeb, that's not how Venn diagrams work. Every member of a given class must have the same characteristic. A class isn't a spectrum
DeleteYou are correct, I have seen your posts calling law enforcement to task for accidental shootings. Sometimes comments like that pop out because you seem to make similar comments regarding gun owners. Whether you use them to stimulate a lively exchange here or not, I cant say.
DeleteGreg,
DeleteThat's where our previous discussion of his Venn diagrams apparently fell apart. We were using standard rules for Venn Diagrams whereas Mike was interpreting it based on a concept that would have needed extra circles to properly demonstrate.
Of course, his inflammatory comments about us being basically the same as criminals really didn't help either.
Exactly. Logic is only tolerated when it reaches the desired conclusion. Otherwise, it's boring and counterrevolutionary.
DeleteThe primal violence which has become endemic in our society is the direct result of the scourge of onanism (caused by a diet rich in the consumption of meat and the lack of the enema), a plague cast upon us by the liberal elite in an attempt to trust our society into the abyss of the resulting violence, and therefore provide a blanket of normalcy to the most vile of depravity ever to haunt the imagination.
DeleteWe shall not be fooled. We know who you are and the depraved goals you plan to achieve with such a diet of perversion, the infliction of the solitary self-abuse opiate of onanism, the nefarious and intentional infliction of perverted sexual desires (fetishes, rampant homosexuality, psychosexual objectification, unapproved affairs, and the lewd excesses all too common in marriage). All the result of poor diet, lack of exercise, and the retention of fecal matter caused by the utter lack of enema necessary for the preservation of physical health and sanity.
Thank you Mike for giving the rest of us good gun owners a break, somewhat. In this case I would not call him a "lawful" gun owner, but just a gun owner.
ReplyDeleteGiven his past, I wonder if he was even qualified to be even a legal gun owner anyway, given the legal system requirements as it is. I doubt he was. So with that, I would say there is a BIG difference between lawful gun owners and him.
Yeah, there's no way this guy owned guns legally for a long time before his murders. He was in the extreme left hand portion of the Venn diagram balloon marked criminal gun owners.
