TX: Inmate claims God, dead mom, gave him ‘go ahead’ to beat sex-offender cellmate to death: report

[foxnews.com – 11/17/18]

An inmate who allegedly beat to death his cellmate, an accused child molester, earlier this month in a Texas jail said “God and his mother” told him to do it because the man was “Bin Laden,” authorities said.

David Faustino Flores, 42, was charged earlier this month with the murder of 76-year-old kiddie-train operator Clinton Don Simpson. Flores allegedly bashed Simpson’s head with dozens of blows against the cell floor and with his fists, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.

“My mom said, ‘That’s Bin Laden, so you ought to go get him.’ So I went to wale on him … And God said, ‘Go ahead,’” he said. Flores’ mother is dead, according to the paper.

Flores had said he hears voices inside his head and requested his own cell because he suffered from schizophrenia, the paper reported.

“At that time I was already paranoid everyone wants to kill me,” he said. “I thought this whole place was ISIS.”

Flores, jailed for an assault in October, had been kept in solitary confinement, but was later placed on suicide watch after trying to kill himself, the Star-Telegram reported. It was then that he was moved into the cell with Simpson.

…and the only registry we have is for those that have made a bad choice around their sexuality, because we all know they are the most dangerous ones in society that we really have to keep an eye on, the rest of the criminals, not so bad.

This is state sanctioned murder.

Reading the several comments in the ‘comments’ section is extraordinarily troubling. Almost everyone endorses this ‘state sanctioned murder.’

I am VERY disappointed in this country! I have read several comments from “good” people that show themselves to be far worse than ANY offender I have every met, and I have met many in our groups over the years. This is not America, this is NAZI Gemany of old! This website is for information and support for those who are being mistreated under the laws that uneducated people filled with hate have demanded from the legislature.

So…
If you were “in” for burglary, drunk driving, tax evasion, assault, murder;
Who would you want as a cellmate?
David or Clinton.
I would wish upon all the idiots posting in the article to please make that choice.
A night with their hero or a night with the predator.
