Troy Albert Kunkle - An execution in Texas

[terentesangre]

I bet the sex between these two lovebirds was amazing, not! you have to be missing a few screws to be attracted to anyone who's in jail for murder. And yes I'm against death penalty however, not because I believe this asshole's life is (ops!) was sacred.

[sunfiregirl9927yaho]

Maybe i should make a video with his casket pictures so people can truly get an idea.We all make our beds and we all have to sleep in it.I dont care if he was a teenager.Lots of people have it hard growing up.Abuse etc.They dont go out and kill and blame it on drugs or abuse.We choose.We are responsible for this one and only life we get.Very disturbed that all this focus is on him.What about my family?All of the problems pain this caused.He had gun.He chose.So justice was served.Took to long.

[sunfiregirl9927yaho]

Maybe someone should have made a video of what my uncle looked like.As he lay in his casket shot right in back head all over 13 bucks.Embalming job was not done well.So visualize my uncle layin there in his casket with blood running down the left side onto pillow.This was way to much for my mother.We are all responsible for our actions.We always have choices.He chose his fate.Why is it that evrytime one of these type men commit a crime,they automatically believe in god?They always use religion

[sunfiregirl9927yaho]

Maybe I should make a video remembering my uncle. Because he was a truly special person that did not deserve to be shot in head all because of 13 bucks.He had his whole life ahead of him.My cousins don't get to see there dad anymore.There father (my uncle)won't ever get to walk them down the isle on there wedding day.Or meet his grandchildren.Or ever be at my wedding.

[shawni84]

@sunfiregirl9927yaho THANK YOU............I DO MISS HIM

[Marcfj]

@shawni84 Then you need to seek psychiatric help and find out why. Seriously, how is it that your life is so empty that you felt compelled to cross an ocean, and half of the North American continent, to seek out the companionship of a criminal who killed an innocent man in cold blood who had done him no harm?

[shawni84]

@Marcfj I THINK YOU ARE MIXED UP........I AM STEVES OLDEST DAUGHTER I WAS SAYING I MISSED MY FATHER.

[Marcfj]

@shawni84 You have my sincere apology, Miss Horton. That was my mistake and I am truly sorry for it. Best Wishes to you and your family.

[shawni84]

@Marcfj ITS OK AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND WORDS.

[Sorothos]

Was hier manche labern ey, der Typ isn Mörder und gehört exekutiert.

Was ihr alle wollt, scheiß drauf wie alt er war, er hat nen Menschen gekillt und der kommt auch nicht wieder ins Leben.

[erdbeermaus30]

leute bitte denkt nach bevor ihr hier irgendetwas schreibt,jeder mensch macht fehler,ich will damit seine tat NICHT entschuldigen,aber trotz alledem steckt dahinter immernoch ein mensch,auch ich hatte einen brieffreund in texas,möge er in frieden ruhn.....und dir liebe christa gilt mein aufrichtiges und ehrliches mitgefühl,ich weiß nur zu genau wie es dir geht,möge er in frieden ruhn! alles gute für dich!!

[DerDemokrator2011]

Einen Mörder wegen seiner schweren Kindheit zu glorifizieren ist genauso scheiße wie ihn im "Namen des Volkes" umzubringen

[19141208]

fuck you  eye for eye

[staeblorette]

hahaha wie schön das er tot ist!

[graeme01355]

i just feel there should be no use for the death penalty,at this point people will be thinking about what i just said and go your a idiot, my reason is no one should kill anybody some one killed a person then he gets killled the law says its okay to have a death sentance but there killers as well for ordering it and also to many innocent people die ,why is no one sent to death for the mistake ?? i think life in jail is the right thng todo

[Jay84tokio]

Dieses Video verhöhnt die Opfer von Troy Kunkle. Ich bin auch gegen Todesstrafe, aber ist sowas von respektlos so ein Video über einen Mörder zu machen und mit keinem Wort die Angehörigen zu erwähnen. Ich glaube du hast dich gewaltig in falsches Mitleid verrannt.

Les dir mal die Aufrufe von Amnesty durch. Die arbeiten auch gegen Todesstrafe, verhöhnen aber nicht die Opfer mit so einer Täterglorifikation. Denkt bitte mal nach, bevor ihr so einen Schund ins Netz stellt.

[yaacobUriyah]

WHAT ABOUT THE VICTIM AND FAMILY? They would still have their love on if not for this monster...OK.

[schuster6969]

I think when he committed the murder, he was under effects of drugs,such as all the young killers...

[JimPanseGL]

Dieses Arschloch hat es nicht anders verdient, als hingerichtet zu werden.

Egal ob für 13 Dollar oder für 13 Cent.

An die Hinterbliebenen des Opfers denkt niemand, die ein lebenslanges Trauma haben werden, nur an den armen Mörder.

Ihr, die ihr diesen Schwanzlutscher verteidigt seid einfach nur krank.

[DerDemokrator2011]

@JimPanseGL

Ich glaube allerdings auch, das dir die Opfer genauso am Arsch vorbei gehen wie den meisten hier, (auch mir, aber ich will auch niemanden umbringen, ode mich an wem rächen) nur das du hier einen auf moralisch machst, obwohl du wenn´s straffrei bliebe wahrscheinlich selber gerne mal abdrücken würdest.

[Jay84tokio]

I'm also against death penalty - but I'm absolutely against such a glorification of a killer. The vid shows a killer as a poor victim - the real victim is the victim of Mr. Kunkle.

But many opponents of the death penalty seem to have the oppinion that a executet murderer deserves more mercy then a innocent victim of a crime...

But however I hope the executions will stop in the US. Not because of false mercy for killers...

[sweetboy81]

Do not think that the entire country is in favor of the death penalty, that's not the case. Not everybody in the US favors the death penalty, out of the fifty States, about thirteen of them DO NOT endorse such punishment. Personally, I am against it, and wish it were a thing of the past once and for all.

[Batner112]

WAS haben DEUTSCHE auch in den USA verloren, da ist man ja noch schlechter dran als bei uns! Keine Sozialleistungen keine Menschlichtkeit, kein Kündigungsschutz und man hat nichts! Man hätte die USA den Mischmaschhaufen schon 1900 komplett ausradieren und ein Teil den Indianer zurückgeben und den anderen Teil den Europäern aufteilen sollen!

Deutsche heim ins Deutschland dort wo ihr geliebt, gern gesehen und willkommen seid!

Go home Germans you are welcome in Germany everytime!

[Cotoredondo]

Good riddance.

[Snookmann]

Troy Kunkle got exactly what he had coming to him...To bad it took so long to send him to hell!

His victim (Stephen Horton) didn't get a chance to live very long because of this idiot...Over a few dollars!

I know our justice system isn't perfect. No country has a perfect system. However, we (Americans) need to figure out a way to kill them much quicker than the 20 or so years it takes now.

[truthtone58]

20 years on death row. 18 when he committed the murder. how sad indeed. later on he recanted about doing it. he apologized and expressed his remorse for his actions. there's a lot of debate to had on capitol punishment and the effect of it on society. my insight on it is don't murder or mine, and we won't have to debate on whether or not the state should kill you. murder is action, capital pun. is reaction. the states do have rights to enforce necessary punishments.

[perla51]

Watching  many of these videos seems that is died an hero,or a good man !!!! It's the best to think to victims and to their family,because their suffering is without end !!!!!!!!!

[racefanof88]

I hate to say this but I just wonder how the German people would handle the 17 yo who MURDERED 15? If alive should he get the poor, poor, lets praise the killer, video. I think not. Cold blooded killers deserve to die, no question, no debate.

[MurasakiShikibufan]

hey. nice vid. don't feed the trolls

[thetruthtalker77]

he was born in germany.

[racefanof88]

It really pisses me off when someone from another country tries to impose their views on our Country. WE have the death penalty here in the USA, don't like it? Don't come here. I will stay out of your country, you stay out of mine. This guy was a MONSTER. He MURDERED an innocent man. I guess in your view Hitler was ok too huh? Murdering innocent people is ok?

[izmemfer]

your an idiot

[racefanof88]

Intelligent response....LOL

[izmemfer]

that was supposed to be funny?

[racefanof88]

What is funny is a "child" calling an adult an idiot. You don't even know me. If everyone wants to get involved in a worth while cause, champion a cause where there are innocent victims, like child abuse or abortion But to take up the banner of a killer and to then make unintelligent comments about the laws of another country is IGNORANCE. Not too long ago the people of your country was crying for the blood of two 10 year old boys.

[izmemfer]

if you think something is wrong just because you live in a different country doesn't mean you don't have a valid opinion. Should the Nazi's be allowed to kill jews just because it was the law in there country? And are you calling me a child and yourself an adult? even if you are an adult your still an idiot. What country am i from? please tell me because last time i checked i was an american. But if you being such a smart adult knows where im actually from then please tell me. SO ya, your dumb

[racefanof88]

First, CHILD, it would be "their" country not there and "Nazis" not Nazi's because the apostrophy shows ownership and they can't own "be". Secondly, your parents should have taught you respect. Third, WE are not talking genocide here, we are talking about punishment, so to compare what the Nazis did to the death penalty is just, oh how should I say this, IGNORANT. YOU are the one who has United Kingdom on your profile.

[Floridaboy19862]

No one deserves to die and no one should me murdered - neither by the state nor by a sicko with a gun. The Death Penalty is nothing but murder!

They kill people to show them and other people not to kill! That's IGNORANT!

You behave like: an eye for an eye! That is what the bible say, but it has a much more important statement that completely overrules an eye for an eye: IT IS: THOU SHALT NOT KILL! What about that?!?!

You Texas guy are some insane Mother******s!

[izmemfer]

I dont like this guy he is a monster an he deserves to go to jail FOREVER but im dont want to kill him. there is no reason so no i dont like murders ... of any kind that includes state sanctioned so heres at least one us citizen against the death penalty

[racefanof88]

Well your profile says you live in the United Kingdom.

[Al3xia30]

for recefano stupid

I'm from spain and I think because, and because I care about people who die electrucutadas, gaseadas or injected, and although the U.S. is not my country because I think people living there.

sorry for my english people.

[racefanof88]

Creo que de toros es una barbarie. Ellos son tontos animales que se están adoptando para masacre para el deporte. No tienen otra opción en su desaparición. Pero que es su país, realmente NINGUNA DE MI EMPRESA. Troy Kunkle asesinado a sangre fría, un hombre inocente tratando de trabajar y ganarse la vida. Así que no tengo compasión por el asesinato de una bolsa de basura.

[oifmarine81]

This is fucked up. a murder gets a tribute video while the victims are cast away how pathetic!

[jimmyshitbags]

not only did kunkle take someone's life and throw his own away, he also got his friends 30 year sentences too. he ruined many lives that night. he should not have a tribute video.

[MLB61998]

I wonder how this person would feel if this murderers victim was her father , brother or husband.

If you can't live by societies rules and you take someone's life (in this case for $13), you don't get to stay. Period.

[likitty20]

it's to SAD

[mrrimfire]

This is a joke. The Death penalty is "wrong" but war is "ok". I guess you cannot exceute a child-murderer but you can kill a uniformed soldier BEFORE he shoots anyone. makes real sense.

[jnichols3]

His victims name was Steven Horton. Kunkle shot him in back of the head after robbing him. Horton's body was dumped behind a skating rink. To quote Kunkle "We're going to take you back here and blow your brains out." As far as I can find out Horton never had a chance to have a wife and family.

[jnsreptiles]

You are wrong about the wife and family part. He was married at one time and he did have 2 little girls, my self being one of them. He also has 3 grandchildren that he never got to see.

[maxima4755]

Sorry Troy had to experience this sort of "justice". Nobody has the right to take a life, also not the government. The victim's families can't feel better because of that. The hate in the hearts of many people shows from some of the comments and is the real bad part about it. Hate and the thought that those who did not kill are the best and all killers are dirt. That is not so, thanks to God! Each case is different. Many innocent people have died and are still in prisons. Stop the killing now!

[greenroomsh]

what kind of loser even tries to get romantically involved with a stone cold killer? is her sick fantasy to get it on with a murderer? and why fly to the u.s. to do it? oh, yeah, you guys in europe don't have the death penalty just lifers. guess you bleeding hearts have to come to america to get all that attention for your cause. that he was just a "stoned kid who made a mistake" doesn't matter one tiny bit to me. let's not forget the victims and their families. go texas!

[Blackbeard280]

lol

[LeanaJo76]

I used to live in Onalaska, Texas from the 5th grade til I graduated high school there in Livingston.

I feel sorry for his victims he killed, but I'm now against the death penalty. Killing the suspect will never, EVER bring back the victims and killing the suspect will not make things better or right. 2 wrongs don't make a right.

[cabritorsss]

How much money did the tax payers contribute to caring for this giy for 20 years? I don't want to see any one get hurt or killed...ESPECIALLY THE VICTIMS.

[NefariousKunk]

So your assertion is that we should kill people because it costs us money?

I am as much a child of Texas (we execute some folks on occasion) as anyone and hell, this guy shares a last name with me (rare). My attachment to this American habit/policy/whatever-you-thin­k-of-it is pretty strong.

All I know is my true want for Capital Punishment stems from a want for the catharsis of revenge.

That is not ok for individuals. If our gov't does it, then that is the worst kind of premeditation.

[bobandcarlrock]

As a teenager I knew Troy and his brother. We all did stupid things and this was stupid. I don't belive he should have died for this. He was a teenager on drugs. These days others get off and walk the streets for more than this. I think he needed help. And maybe life in jail but not death. I pray Troy meet up with his brother and they are together. I pray for the victims family and Troys family.

I am sorry but two wrongs don't make this right.

[helodat]

Glad this scum bag is dead. Go to hell u murderer. This guy was a cold blooded killer..before shooting and killing the victim for his wallet, this punk said "We're going to take you back here and blow your brains out.". This sick also said that the murder was "beautiful". Thank god he's gone. Thats how we do it in Texas.

[MRayusa]

thanks for sharing this, if the victims family were that concerned they can always do their own memorial video......dont mind the haters.

[klholder]

I'm glad this moron is dead now. He might have been a nice guy BEFORE he decided to be a murderer. Doesn't really matter now.

Why is Mick Mars from Motley Crue in all those pictures with kunklehead?

[BobfromCA]

I'm sure glad this untermenschen piece of shit is dead. What is it with you goddamn Euroweenies, anyway? Some Kraut chick flies the flies the Atlantic to hold his hand? Pardon me while I vomit.

[iamjumbo]

the wonderful thing is that the worthless piece of shit is dead. only the truly ignorant and stupid would wish for any garbage like him to still be polluting the air that real people breathe

[tsihrc]

fuck the victim, the government should not have the power to kill its own citizens

[bluepits214]

F%%% the victims.....How very nice of you. If there was not a victim in the first place there would be no need to have anyone put to death, so why dont you put the blame where its due, on the killer...you know the one that made the CHOICE to take an innocent persons life. You make me sick!!!!!!!!!!!

[jnsreptiles]

I mean no disrespect on your memorial page but you left out anything about the victim. You did not even tell his name or anything about him.

His name was Steven W. Horton he was 31yrs old and was a father of 2 little girls (9yrs old-6yrs old) He has 3 grand kids he never got to see.

[YusukeKuramaHiei]

I'm really sorry about that and I feel very sorry about you and your family. It wasn't my intention to show just the one sight of the case and you are absloutely right that the victim's family should be mentioned. So now you did it and I can just say I'm very sorry about it, really... :(

[shrevedude1]

@jnsreptiles You are absolutely right. Your father-in-law should be the one that should be having a tribute video here, not that scumbag Troy. Just watching this video makes me want to puke.

[flyana]

It's funny though how the AMA is, state by state, putting an end to the death penalty, by threatening to take away the medical certifications of any doctor who participates in an execution. Thus far, North Carolina, Virginia and Pennsylvania have had to put a stay on all executions as they can't find any doctors willing to violate AMA doctrines to participate. A legal requirement is that a doctor must be present for every execution.

[pameeeeee]

I don't know why anyone would want to memorialize a killer on you tube. Look into this case, just take a look, find out what Troy did to Mr. Stephen Horton.

Kunkle is a killer. Thank god the state of Texas made sure he would never kill again.

[Marcfj]

"he got what he deserved" yes he did and he will never kill again; I guarantee it.

[Marcfj]

What do you mean by "he was just a person"? The truth is he was a cold-blooded killer who took the life of an innocent human being. Why should society let him live and take a chance with him when he could very easily kill someone again either in prison or out of it?

[YusukeKuramaHiei]

He would never have killed again! It was a bad mistake he did when he was 18, but there were so many aspects that weren't observed right. He had a cruel childhood and saw no way out than with hangin around with his friends, the wrong friends. He should have got a scond chance. I think you haven't read or heard much of his case, otherwise you yould talk different. Just let him rest in peace, he got what he deserved

[utherpendragon666]

What a load of liberal rubbish. What second chance did his victim get?  Justice was served.

[jnsreptiles]

I know all I need to know about this case as I am the daughter of the man he killed. Troy paid for what he did to my father and for that and ONLY that I will show respect. As for it was a "mistake" A mistake is not putting a gun to the back of a man's head and TELLING him that he is going to blow his head off.Troy paid the price for the CHOICES that he HIMSELF made. NO ONE put that gun in his hand no one made him pull that trigger he did that all on his own.

[lisa3754]

A second chance to kill again? No thank you. If I burn dinner I've made a mistake but I can always cook something else for dinner. Murder is so much more than a mistake. Tell me how you correct THAT mistake. I think you're missing the attention you got in the newspapers when your death row lover was alive. Is that what this is about? Attention?

[Hans021220]

@YusukeKuramaHiei Regardless of the outcome of this,the execution of Troy will never give the victims family Steven back.In this case there are only loosers anyway and no winners...I am so sorry that Steven was killed in such a grusome way.I am so sorry for his family!

I am so sorry for Troys family!They are also victims!They have also lost!

My prayers goes out for all of them.

[Marcfj]

Good grief, the way these crazy krauts go on about this guy you'd think he was a saint.

[YusukeKuramaHiei]

I don't think that! He was just a person I really understood and felt with. He did something cruel, I know that, bút his whole life was like that and many things were not his fault. He would have deserved another penalty but such one. It's just not fair...that's my oiniion and doens't mean I think he was a saint!
