20. The stakes of this execution are much bigger than many understand
The United States signed a treaty that basically said that if any American citizen were to get in trouble in a foreign country that foreign country would allow the American government to step in on behalf of that citizen. Texas did not allow Mexico to step in on behalf of this Mexican citizen.
So what does that mean? The world will say "Fuck You" America when an American citizen gets in trouble.
Beware if you travel to other countries you are on your own now.
Maybe this guy deserved the death penalty but that is besides the point.
Texas has fucked all Americans and many don't feel it yet.
