Wesley Ruiz may be the father of some wonderful children but he IS NOT a wonderful father. Through his chosen lifestyle of selling and using drugs, carrying and using firearms in an unlawful manner and murdering a peace officer, he was setting the stage for his children to follow in some heinous footsteps. Hopefully you will stay close enough to his children to be a positive influence and to remind them there are consequences for your actions. A wonderful father sets a good example for his children to follow not one of evading police, shooting up homes or murdering police officers. I am sorry for you if this horrible crime puts distance between you and your family - but I also say if your family members really think Wesley should be able to live his life out visiting with his family, friends and fellow thugs while being worshipped as a cop killer - then maybe you should put a greater distance between you and the rest of your family. Mark Nix's family, friends and loved ones will forever only have memories to hold on to. Mark Nix didn't get a chance to be a wonderful father to some wonderful children. I have no pity for Wesley Ruiz - he is getting what he wanted out of life. David – you are not responsible for what a family member does.

I do not in anyway agree with what he did. I have never been close to him at all. He is some 10 years younger than myself. I to have served in the law enforcement for awhile. I have only one thing that bothers me. Is he is a father of some wonderful children and the fact that any child must lose their father. For I was a teen when my father died. We have too face life and know we choice our path in life. I never want to lose anyone this way and as someone close to always uses it is what it is and now we cant judge but we will be judged. I only talk to a few on my family members but if they read this they will be upset and outraged with me. So, I want to say this in closing. We all know that everyone has done something wrong in life . But from when I worked in the prison system. My saying to all the inmates is weather it is stealin a piece of gum to the worst crimes in life. the only difference is wrong place wrong time or right place right time. The road is picked at that time in life. I have feelings and regrets for both families involved. I was not at any of the court process for my mixed feelings. I only want what is right to be right either way. Ok, Wesley is mt cousin. I do not in anyway agree with what he did. I have never been close to him at all. He is some 10 years younger than myself.

Someone named Haley Austin tried to get a post in here cussing all of us out, saying that Ruiz was a <em>good man</em>, it may not have even been real, in the blog world you tend to see a lot of *drive by* trouble makers that are too ignorant to post anything worth reading, so they try to disrupt a decent blog with their garbage... I am sure Mark Nix was a good guy, not a doubt in my mind, I was watching when this all went down, and my only thought after Mark was hit was, WHY in the hell haven't the DPD officers blown this son of a bitch in the car all to to hell and back?? We didn't know who Ruiz was at that time, we didn't know his name, his ethnicity, nothing, all we knew was that he was a MURDERER, and that he had just gunned down a police officer... And quite honestly, that was <strong><em>ALL</em></strong> it took for me, and God have mercy on his soul.. All the best to you and Mark's family, I hope this does give you closure, I also hope we don't have to wait 10 years to see the sentence carried out, an appeal should be out of the question, Ruiz IS a murderer, a vile and useless individual and this world will be a bit better place once that scum is gone...

Revenge? NO. Justice! YES. We have gotten away from just punishment in the US. I pray that Mr. Ruiz would see his need for help and turn his life over to Jesus. I am grateful that the jury has come to the right decision and allowed the punishment to fit the crime. This brings some relief and closure for us. Thank you all.

I used to work with officer Nix's mother. I hate to think what she has gone through. I think of the death penalty as permanent rehabilitation. Like Ron White says in Texas we have an "express line" for executions. JDP He deserved the death penalty for killing a police officer. I used to work with officer Nix’s mother.

Haley, what’s wrong?? Did we hit a nerve because we’re ALL quite happy that this scum of the earth Ruiz is gonna ride the juice?? If he means EVERYTHING to you, you must be as big a scumbag as he is…

As I said, I can’t wait for him to BURN IN HELL, and if I am still on this earth when it happens, I’ll make a post on the son of a bitch and his demise…

Haley is apparently in love with a murderer, she left a very NASTY message, she’s apparently not very well educated, she can’t express herself without the *F* word, a lot of the *F* word…

I have it saved for proof Haley, I won’t have some trashy wannabe GANG BITCH come in here cussing me and my readers out…

And Haley, GOOD MEN don’t run from the police in a wild car chase, GOOD MEN don’t commit murder in an attempt to avoid capture, murderers do…

Now he gets free legal representation all the way up to the 9 Crows. It will be years before Justice is finally served at a cost to the taxpayer of $2 million. Now the cost of a bullet fired by the police is much, much lower. Too bad he had to live. Would have saved the honest, law abiding taxpayers of Texas millions of dollars. I hate it when the government wastes taxpayer money like that. TopGun your figures are wrong. Now he gets free legal representation all the way up to the 9 Crows.
