governor rick perry??? OMG! jesus please bless this men and stop the killing. i pray he never becomes a candidate for president!!! i can't even believe that he is running for the presidential position. i will never vote for this guy!!!
For those of you that are not familiar with the Law of parties. There are men on death row that are innocent of murder. They may be guilty of a lesser crime but not murder. Cops against the death penalty on myspace, speaks about a perfect example of this unjust law. This particular individual was 30 miles away from the crime scene, did not know a crime would be committed and he is waiting execution for a murder he did not know would happen.
We punishpeople for killing by killing them? Hmmm, such an easy way out. If they are truly guilty, let them rot in prison for the rest of their natural life and let them never forget what it is that they have done. Plus if someone committed a brutal crime, why would we let them pleasantly go to sleep. I'm against execution. And moms don't always think their kids are innocent.
@espinlk We execute people who commit first degree murder with special circumstances as punishment. And if life in prison was worse than execution, murderers wouldn't fight the sentence. You antis keep repeating the most ridiculous arguments. You don't even think - you just spout.
The comments on this video are so ridiculous! You obviously have no idea how things work in Texas. I work for an anti death penalty organization and have reviewed Reggie's case many times. You saying things like "hurry and execute him!" have no clue what you are asking. What if it was YOUR brother, YOUR son, YOUR friend? And you knew in your heart that he was innocent? That he lacked proper funding and proper representation? Then what?! Do the research before you say ignorant, hurtful things.
Only an asshole with no clue would make such a comment like that. Deathrow is no place for ANYONE. The conditions are inhumane....not even a vicious dog that kills gets this kind of treatment. Unless you know ALL of the facts, please spare those that care your insensitivity. That yound man didn't stand a chance from the get go, as most black men in the state of Texas. Once you are in their grip, you're done. I pray to god that you never have to encounter the kind of pain that this is for ppl.
I think that the late Mr. Blanton's assertions that he was innocent of the crime for which he was convicted would have had a little more believability about them if he had not been caught with a homemade knife while he was imprisoned.
Only ignorate people that have no knowledge of how the death penalty system works comment with ignorace..Yes, there are innocent people on Death Row...I have a brother who is on Death Row, who didn't kill anyone(and that is stated clearly on record)just because he was associated with a gang and he owned some of the guns others used....he was sentences to die for what others did..while the ones that "did" the killing roam around the world loose...What kind of Justice is THAT?
guilty or not, the death penalty is a barbaric form of punishment that is disproportionately imposed on minorities and the poor. in countries that claim to be advanced, modern and just, the death penalty should be permanently eradicated as a form of punishment.
Does anybody want to know why Reggies mama cannot visit? Oh, that is because Reggie was caught using a cell phone on death row. Wut a good boy, huh mama.
why even say something like that? why would you mock someone's grief? I swear to god I don't know what's wrong with people anymore. Do you still have a pulse?
Unlike Carlos Garza, yes I do still have a pulse. I am not mocking anything except Reggies mom bitching because, alot like her son, she cannot follow the rules of life and expects no consequences.
robbob67211 you cannot back up any of your opinios with actual facts. You are simply spewing hateful, mean things. Do you have a soul? You seem like a pretty heartless person. Just always remember that Karma is a B... This goes to you and the rest of the idiots leaving distatseful comments. Karma will come to you. God don't like ugly. If you read all the facts it was obvious he was innocent. Read the facts you idiots!!
Glefos you are a real coward. Feel real tough leaving hateful comments on the internet. If you read the facts, it's clear as day he was innocent. You're a piece of scum and hopefully you'll reap what you sew.
@Glefos how could you even think that you have the right to decide over someone else's life. Brother your wrong! only god can decide. You can agree with this guys death, but you don't know if he is guilty of innocent so why are you convicting him already without even knowing the full story, not what the jury convicted him. Il pray for you...

@crdajaisyl This wan't a law of parties case. The prosecution alleged and proved that Reginald Blanton was the shooter.

This comment has received too many negative votes show
Can't wait for Reginald Blanton to be executed, he should man up for his crime. No one forced him to kill another individual.
I love the death penalty, we need it here in New York.

As for the "stop killing business" - her vicious son should have stopped killing, then he wouldn't be in this predicament.
