Police arrested a suspect in the slaying of a British tourist during an Amarillo bar robbery in which a female patron allegedly was sexually assaulted.

AMARILLO, TEXAS (AP) -- A 25-year-old Lubbock man, Ray Carlos Cisneros, was in the Potter County Detention Center on Saturday on a capital murder charge.

A jail official who declined to provide his full name to The Associated Press said Cisneros was arrested on a warrant and no bond was set, pending his initial court appearance. Police say additional charges are pending.

Police on Friday arrested Cisneros over the fatal shooting of 28-year-old Thomas George Reeve. Another man was shot in the hand Thursday night at the Spotted Pony Lounge.

Several patrons were robbed and assaulted, plus money was taken from a cash register. Police also say a female patron was sexually assaulted.

I suppose this British tourist that was passing through could have used his telepathic powers to know that this place was a dive known for violence!!! Maybe if you came over to the UK and got stabbed in a dive known for violence we would show the same compassion as obviously you should have known better, being from that area 'an all. Oh, and by the way, thats a nice dose of British sarcasm for you! If you actually know where Britain is! RIP and condolences to the poor guys family - a waste of a young life due to weapons being too readily avaialable to brainless morons who feel that they need a gun to be a real man - what happened to fists?

I AM Proud...

...that I don't live in a second rate country that has had to have its butt bailed out during two world wars by a country that clobbered IT twice, and its only hope of ever regaining its 15 minutes of fame is by being a lapdog for the world's only superpower.

Better yet!

Better yet Ian, if you come for a visit and I really don't think your opinion is founded in any sense of knowing what this country is about other than what you READ in your British news tabloids, don't hang out in dives that are known for violence.
I'm sure that no person has ever been murdered in the UK.

Wow...you must be so proud...

Well, what else would we expect from a country that is still stuck back in the days of the wild west. No border controls, illeagal aliens, corrupt police, and a goverment that takes so many bribes from lobyist no one trusts them anymore.

Time to take the US off of the list of safe travel desinations...especially anywhere in Texas.
