Gunman upset daughter was in lesbian relationship

[The Philosopher]

from Statesman.com

Police say a man, upset that his daughter was in a relationship with another woman, killed his daughter’s girlfriend and her mother in a Southeast Austin home Monday night.

Jose Alfonso Aviles, 45, has been charged with capital murder and was arrested early this morning in Bexar County by the Lone Star Fugitive Task Force, said Lt. Gena Curtis. Aviles lives in Austin, but was found in San Antonio, police said.

Aviles’ daughter had been dating 24-year-old Norma Hurtado for several months, which was the source of feuding between the Aviles and Hurtado families, Curtis said.

Aviles and another Hispanic man, who has not been identified, went to the Hurtado’s home at the 7100 block of Dixie Drive late Monday and knocked on the door, Curtis said. Moments later, Aviles’ daughter, who was in the home, heard gun shots and found that Hurtado and Hurtado’s mother, 57-year-old Maria Hurtado, had been shot, police said.

2. There was that story last week about the guy who killed his ex girl friend

after supposedly looking up online to see if Illinois had the death penalty. Well Texas has the death penalty and they use it a ton.

3. the guy is Hispanic

he will see the DP. A straight white male killing a gay has a 50-50 chance of walking in those parts.

5. 17 isn't a ton

4. This is the result of the hate mongering

His grown daughter apparantly is not allowed to make up her mind who she dates so he kills two people because he is angry.

6. If the right wing and the religious right spent half as much time demonizing murderers..

as they do demonizing gays, maybe shit like this wouldn't happen.
