The sentencing by U.S. District Judge David Guaderrama in El Paso follows two days of emotional testimony from witnesses, some of the 22 wounded survivors, and relatives of the 23 dead who delivered impact statements in the presence of the shooter, Patrick Crusius, 24." -snip
White Nationalist racist piece of shit got what he deserved.
I don't believe in capital punishment as I don't believe the state should have the power to kill people and innocent people have been put to death due to a flawed system, But if he gets the death penalty as well, not going to lose a wink of sleep..
Patrick Crusius believed he was acting at the direction of Donald Trump when he murdered 23 people and wounded 22 others at an El Paso Walmart on August 3rd 2019, his defense lawyer told El Paso Matters.
"He thought he had to stop the invasion because that's what his president was telling him, which is just not rational," defense attorney Joe Spencer said in his first extended interview about the mass shooting that Crusius said was meant to stop "the Hispanic invasion of Texas."
"He thought, if he doesn't do it, then nobody's going to do it. He's got to start," Spencer said. Trump visited El Paso on August 7th, ignoring pleas from much of El Paso's elected leadership that he stay away because they felt his rhetoric may have played a role in the shooting.
