Rest In Peace:Timothy Gribble,tortured child turned morally superior serial killer & rapist,is murdered by amerikkka's MOST immoral & evil serial killer,George W. Bush
Joe1orbit
Amerikkka's #1 serial killer, George W. Bush, is VERY busy these days. He
wants to become president. He knows he needs to kill a LOT, in order to win the
election. The more MURDERS he commits, the more he increases his public
support, the support of you ULTRA-diseased and evil citizen-slaves, and the
better his chances of winning the "honor" of being the Supreme Leaders of you
PATHETIC, diseased creatures. So, he's on a killing spree, and you all are
applauding and celebrating the chance to revel in the extermination of your
demonized torture-creations.
Our latest Martyr does appear to be a genuine serial killer. Only CONVICTED
of one murder, 36 year old Timothy Lane Gribble confessed to killing THREE, and
all indications are that he DID harvest three. He also RAPED at least three
OTHER gals, definately a serial vengeance-seeker. This does make him MORE
worthy of our attention and respect. Of course in the eyes of sociopathic
gov./whore George W. Bush, Timothy is nothing more than a subhuman piece of
worthless garbage, to be STEPPED ON as one rung on the ladder to the
presidency. George W. is LITERALLY creating a MOUNTAIN of MURDER VICTIMS, and
intends to CLIMB UP upon the mountain of bodies, to reach the presidency.
So, was Timothy ABUSED as a child, TORTURED as a child?? Of course! All
serial and mass killers suffered BRUTALIZATION, personal abuse and serious
mistreatment, during their childhoods. Timothy was SEXUALLY abused as a child,
just the TIP of the ICEBERG of traumatization that he no doubt suffered. Now,
your society has MURDERED it's own tortured victim-creation. You took a child,
tortured him as a matter of CHOSEN societal policy, and you give yourselves
permission to MURDER him, to murder your own CREATED VICTIM. Man, I just can't
IMAGINE a more PERVERSE and DERANGED and EVIL choice, to KILL your CREATED
victim!
We learn that Helen Prejean, outspoken opponent of legal murder and author of
"Dead Man Walking", was IN TX DURING this legal murder, and held a "prayer
vigil" at the HOUR of Timothy's murder, in a NEARBY city. What a PHONY, and
what a COWARD she is! If she were TRULY sincere and moral, she would have
CHAINED HERSELF to Timothy, or to the lethal injection bed itself, she would
have ASSAULTED anyone who tried to touch Timothy, as his mURDER hour
approached. That's what she would have done, instead of holding a USELESS and
PATHETIC prayer vigil, in a nearby city.
Helen TOLD those who attended the prayer vigil: "We are caught in this; it's
like a machine. It relentlessly runs until we stop it, until the people of
Texas stop it. Every citizen of Texas is participating in this execution
tonight. Anybody who's not standing up against it and working against it is . .
. involved in the killing." What the HELL?? You, sister Helen, are NOT standing
up against the death penalty. You are NOT fighting it, you are not even TRYING
to save Timothy's life. You are FLAPPING your MOUTH 100 miles away from
Timothy, letting him be murdered. What a pathetic example of "leadership" this
so-called "leader" of the anti-DP movement is setting. She STANDS BY and does
NOTHING, as her society COMMITS murder after murder after murder.
Like all Martyrs to the most evil society on planet earth, you WILL be
avenged, Timothy.
Rest In Peace.
Take care, JOE

Admitted killer, rapist executed for 1987 slaying
By Michael Graczyk
Associated Press
Thursday, March 16, 2000
HUNTSVILLE -- A Galveston County man who admitted killing three people was
executed Wednesday night for the abduction, rape and strangling of a woman more
than 12 years ago.
Timothy Lane Gribble made a lengthy final statement in which he repeatedly
apologized for his killings.
"I just want you to know from the bottom of my heart that I am truly sorry," he
said, looking toward witnesses for the victims. "I mean it. I'm not just saying
it."
Then Gribble had Chaplain James Brazzil read a long handwritten statement, in
which he apologized again but also criticized the death penalty.
"I feel I have to speak out against the practice of the death penalty, although
I have no regrets in my case," Brazzil read. "You can't rectify death with
another death."
After telling family and friends he loved them, Gribble began praying and
chanting. Then he gasped and snorted as the lethal drugs began taking effect.
He was pronounced dead eight minutes later at 6:19 p.m.
Gribble, 36, was the second condemned murderer to be executed in Texas in as
many days and the 12th this year.
He led authorities to the body of Elizabeth Jones, 36, a former City Council
member in Clear Lake Shores and a manager involved in the space shuttle
program, after she had been missing for almost a month.
Gribble confessed to her slaying and two others. He was indicted but not tried
for the murder of Donna Weis, 23, whose remains were found in Galveston County
18 months after she disappeared in June 1986. Authorities never could confirm
his claim of a third slaying.
At his trial, however, prosecutors presented to the jury three women who
testified that Gribble had raped them.
"I think he's a serial rapist, a serial killer," Mike Guarino, the Galveston
County district attorney who prosecuted Gribble, said this week. "I think he's
a very dangerous predator."
Jones' friends became concerned when she failed to show up for work Sept. 9,
1987, and called police after finding her house locked and her car parked in
the driveway. There was no sign of forced entry, and nothing was missing except
her purse and a bathrobe.
Her house was being renovated, and authorities determined Gribble had worked on
the roof the previous evening. Investigators questioned Gribble but did not
consider him a suspect at the time.
A few weeks later he fled to Tennessee, where he was questioned again and was
returned to Texas. He then confessed to raping and abducting Jones and taking
her to a remote area near League City, north of Galveston. According to his
confession, Gribble told Jones he was going to tie her naked to a tree and
leave her there. When she began to scream and struggle, he took the sash from
her bathrobe and tightened it around her neck until she died.
"I don't know why this happened," Gribble said from death row last week. "I'd
like to say I lost my mind, but I can't. I've been asking myself that question
every day for 12 years.
"I wish I could answer so I could tell my family, so I could tell the victim's
family, so I could apologize and make sure it never happens again," he said,
"but I don't know."
Gribble was tried twice for Jones' death. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals
overturned his first conviction in 1988, saying jurors should have received
better instructions about defense claims that Gribble suffered mental disorders
and was sexually abused as a child.
Gribble had said he was ready to die and told his attorneys to not pursue any
11th-hour appeals.
"I want to get this over with," he said last week. "I don't want to spend the
rest of my life here. I just want to end this."
His willingness to face death contrasted with the defiance of Ponchai
Wilkerson, a condemned killer executed 24 hours earlier.
Wilkerson, a 28-year-old inmate with a history of escape attempts, forced
guards to use gas to pry him from his cell, required extra restraints when he
fought their attempts to fasten him to the death chamber gurney, then surprised
authorities by spitting a small key from his mouth as the lethal drugs began
taking effect.
Prison officials said the inch-and-a-half key was a universal handcuff and leg
restraint key, common in the prison system, and an investigation was under way
to find out how Wilkerson got it.

Death penalty opponents hold prayer vigil
By CAROL CHRISTIAN
Houston Chronicle
At 6 p.m. Wednesday, as Timothy Lane Gribble was being executed in Huntsville
for a 1987 murder, one of the nation's most prominent death penalty opponents
was addressing a prayer vigil in downtown Houston.
Sister Helen Prejean, the New Orleans nun who wrote the book Dead Man Walking,
told the vigil participants at Sacred Heart Co-Cathedral that all Texans take
part in every execution in the state.
"We are caught in this; it's like a machine," said Prejean, 60. "It
relentlessly runs until we stop it, until the people of Texas stop it. Every
citizen of Texas is participating in this execution tonight. Anybody who's not
standing up against it and working against it is . . . involved in the
killing."
Prejean, who has been a spiritual counselor to five men on Louisiana's death
row since 1982, was in Houston to speak at the University of St. Thomas Lenten
lecture series Wednesday evening. Earlier in the day, she spoke at First
Unitarian Universalist Church.
For the last month or so, 25 to 30 people have gathered in front of the
cathedral each evening of an execution, said David Atwood, director of the
Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty. Wednesday's vigil moved inside
the church after a few minutes because to a sudden shower.
The group has held vigils outside the Huntsville prison at every one of the
state's 211 executions since 1982, Atwood said. Gribble's execution was the
12th this year in Texas.
Prejean said advocates may consider lethal injection to be humane, but years of
agonizing anticipation precedes every execution.
"We can't take torture out of the death penalty no matter how we change it,"
she said.
Prejean also took issue with those who say execution provides closure and a
sense of justice to murder victims' family members.
"Of the victims' families I've known, the ones who have healed and been able to
move on when a loved one has been killed are people in community, who have love
and faith and people accompanying them. Those who haven't healed were the ones
who wanted the execution the most, watched it and afterward said, `He died too
quickly. We hope he burns in hell.' "
Prejean cited Marietta Jaeger, a Midwest woman whose 7-year-old daughter was
murdered on a family camping trip. Jaeger now works with a national
organization called Murder Victims Families for Reconciliation.
As part of the prayer vigil, the group read from a statement by Jaeger:
"The capacity for mercy and compassion is what sets us apart from the rest of
creation. Our laws should call us to higher moral principles than the practice
of primitive acts of more murders to resolve our conflicts, hatreds, fears and
frustrations. We violate our own honor and dignity by unabashedly killing a
chained, restrained defenseless person, however deserving of death we deem that
person to be."

TC man asks for forgiveness before execution
By Scott E. Williams
The Daily News
Published March 16, 2000
HUNTSVILLE -- Timothy Lane Gribble marked the end of his life Wednes-day
evening with a moment of prayer.
In his last statement, the Texas City man asked the families of murder victims
Elizabeth "Libby" Jones and Donna Weis for forgiveness and decried the death
penalty.
"I just want you to know from the bottom of my heart that I am truly sorry," he
said. "I mean it. I'm not just saying it."
He asked a prison chaplain to read a statement he had written after closing his
remarks by asking the families to "just please find peace."
Gribble received a lethal injection Wednesday for the 1987 murder of Jones.
Jones, a Clear Lake Shores resident, had been missing for about a month when
Gribble led investigators to her body in a League City field.
Gribble had told investigators he was working as a roofer on Jones' house and
had gone to her home one night and raped her repeatedly. He apparently
strangled her with the sash from a robe.
Chaplain Jim Brazzil read Gribble's written statement, in which Gribble voiced
objections to the death penalty, although he asserted that he did not object to
its use in his case.
"You cannot rectify death with another death," Brazzil said, reading from the
statement.
The statement also contained an apology to the victims' families, as well as
words of thanks to his own family and friends who attended the execution
Wednesday.
After the statement's conclusion, Gribble said he wanted to "pray a chant"
while the deadly fluids entered his bloodstream. After about 30 seconds of
chanting, in which he was joined by spiritual adviser Andrea Breidenstein,
Gribble seemed to snort, cough and close his eyes.
He would not open them again. A doctor pronounced Gribble dead at 6:19 p.m.
"He's with God," Breidenstein said on the other side of the glass that
separated Gribble and witnesses to his death. "He's free."
Gribble's first trial in 1988 ended in a conviction and a death sentence, but
his attorneys successfully appealed on the basis that jurors had not been able
to consider facts about him that would mitigate against a death sentence.
Gribble's appeal won him a retrial in 1992. That trial ended just as the first
one had, however, with a guilty verdict and a sentence of death. Since then,
Gribble has appealed his case all the way to the Texas Supreme Court, which
refused to hear it.
Gribble was also under indictment for the 1986 murder of Weis, a 23-year-old
college student from Texas City.
Criminal District Attorney Michael J. Guarino said he elected not to pursue
that case after the jury handed down the death penalty against Gribble in
Jones' death.
Additionally, he had told investigators he had killed another woman he could
identify only as "Christina," although no body was found.
