Justice is slow - but it got there in this case.

It took Texas 21 years to finally execute the murderer John William King, who chained James Byrd Jr. to his car and dragged him to death. That is inexcusable and does not in any way act as a deterrent on others. Justice is supposed to be fairly swift in America; it's written into the Constitution. Why does it have to take so very long?
At any rate, we should be, well, not happy that someone has died but satisfied that justice has finally been served. It does not bring Mr. Byrd back, and it does not give us a sense of joy, but we should be satisfied that a dirtbag got what he deserved in the end.
Hopefully Mr. King repented before the end and will not find himself damned. He had more reason for damnation than many. We don't want this for anyone.
