That sounds like premeditated murder to me, should get the death penalty..

I figured something like that would be legal in Texas.

From the article... the shooter..

"In approximately a four (4) year period leading up to the shooting, defendant Alvarado had been reprimanded sixteen (16) times," according to the complaint. "Specifically, he had been reprimanded for insubordination and failure to follow supervisors' directives seven (7) times. Due to his poor service record, Alvarado was suspended without pay on five (5) occasions. On May 21, 2008, Alvarado was recommended for termination by Page. Despite being recommended for termination for insubordination and for refusal to follow supervisor directives, Alvarado remained on the force without remedial training."

Why would you assign that goldbricker to the school? I'm not saying best man, but the bottom of the barrel?

Ohh crap.. what if he isn't the bottom of the barrel.

What, aren't cops entitled to "stand their ground", too?
