The concept of hate crimes are unconstitutional and have no place in American society. With that being said, I’m glad that a-hole is dead. Anyone who commits a heinous crime like that has no regard for anyone else’s life and deserves death.

You do realize many people oppose the death penalty, no matter what the crime was, right?

Does that mean the NAACP can stop fricking whining about how the condemned didn’t get “hate crime” convictions on top of a capital murder conviction?
They ran a pretty nasty commercial during the 2000 election about that. Hopefully it backfired. "Bush was governor of TX and obviously hates black people."

Going by what you quoted, and then what you said, I see no way how you can come to this conclusion. Eta: My retort is, "Wut?"
Did you read the rest? About him (and others like him) who do these incredibly evil, yet horrendously foolish acts that warrant a death penalty? Does the death penalty not cause death, and, therefore, take him out of the gene pool? And so was he not NOT the strongest, fittest, blah blah blah?
It takes a gdamn idiot, among other things, to believe that his heinous act was reasonable and without consequence, does it not?
Is a human being who's executed for capital murder not subjected to the same ignorance of natural laws much like that of a fool who tries to beat an oncoming train is (i.e. don't freaking kill each other unjustly, and don't try to beat a train)?
For sure, they both were not the strongest, fittest, or smartest. For sure, they both are dead, are they not?
Does being strong and fit not require sense-enough to get there, and does sense-enough to stay alive not require, well, some sense? How many fools do we hear about dying every day from absolutley stupid decisions that they made?
Gotta be smart out chea on deze skreets, right? What if you're not? What if you drag a man down the street because he's black?
My analogy was to justify this execution. Killing others unjustly is not an ethical issue, it is a moral one, and it is a cornerstone of humanity's successful domination of the food chain: We cannot live like we do by going around and slaughtering each other willy nilly. (WHEN we do, it is called war, and reasons for war are often times unjust, but the soldiers carrying out their duty are not.) Much like if you breath in water like a fish, if you kill me unjustly, you're breaking a natural law that will get you killed, or at a minimum, get you put away where you'll die inside of yourself by losing your freedom and dignity and humanity.
Just like the fools who die from falling off the edge of the biggest hole in the ground on planet earth, just like the idiot who was mauled to death by a wild hippo that he got idiotically close to in an attempt for an "epic" selfie, the idiot who slaughtered this man is dead because of HIS OWN act of foolishness. He chose his destiny- just like the guy outrunning the train did- and today he paid the Piper.
Today, he is as dead as the jackass in that hippo's mouth was, and it is only natural that it is so.
You might not agree with my opinion on it (perhaps because you don't agree with CP and that's okay because I'm no staunch proponent of it either), but what's not to get?
Because as-is, your analogy is not making one iota's worth of sense to me.

Glad he's dead.
I have the following issues with this.
A: I'm all for capital punishment. But lethal injection is getting off too easy. Electricity has many uses so bring it back for this. The large generator companies could sell their power plants under different names and still profit.
Example: Caterpillar could sell under the name Vengeance Power Systems. Paint the units blood red.
B: 20 years is too damned long to wait for execution. Do it within 180 days.
C: Also hate crimes should be uses multiple directions. Black on White, Asian on Black,. Asian on white, etc.
Also applicable to religion based crimes. Such as muslims killing non muslims, etc.

It costs a lot more money to put someone to death than it does to incarcerate them.

Anybody know if this subhuman is being buried? If so, please let us know where so I can pay his gravesite a visit so I can piss and shite on it. I’m about 4 hours away from Jasper.
No idea about this specific case, but if no family members claim the body, they are buried in a prison cemetery.

Then what was the reason?

I was thinking you meant it from a biological perspective. If it's down to basic biological imperatives then it's understandable that one group, in this case whites, will be okay with the elimination of competition from their environment. Also natural selection doesn't really act on an individual level. It acts more on the species level, or on phenotype.
The principle of “an eye for an eye" is not a constant either. Simply murdering one person does not always result in the death penalty. Sometimes even multiple murders do not result in the death penalty. This is not Here I can see your point since he is now dead, but tying this back to natural selection, do we know if he had any children? I honestly skipped that part. If he already had children he already left his mark on the gene pool, so his death doesn't undo that. It obviously does mean he can't have anymore children to continue his line.
Ultimately your comment conflates several things with a conclusion that doesn't add up.
