here's my favourite - his proposed letter - ahhh now we get it - i understand his obsession now ! Looks like all this time he REALLY wanted to be a 'scumpal' himself - and was just WAITING for an excuse that would be approved of by the other good citizens
on that board....now he's got it; he's got the tacit approval of his friends - and now he can get busy writing to those DR prisoners
here's his letter :
How about this?
Dear (insert name of vicious murderer here):
This may come as a surprise to you, but we're members of an organization that seeks justice for family members of murder victims. We take the time to research each case, and yours presented itself to us as an inspiration for this letter.
(Describe case here, and both sides of any possible appeal. Refute each one.)
As you can see, any appeal of your conviction or sentence can only be dilatory in nature. That is not fair to your deceased victim's memory, not fair to (his/her) family and loved ones, not fair to the people of (state in which crime was committed), and it really doesn't do anything for you, either, Mr. _____________.
You've probably given a lot of thought to what you have done. You could leave your legacy to your lawyers and special interest groups, and go down as someone lying about his crime to the end, lying to his victim's grieving parents and children, lying to your own family, lying to the good citizens of your state who are not responsible for your actions, perhaps even lying to yourself in order to resolve your conflict.
Is that how you wish to be remembered, Mr. ___________?
You have an opportunity to shape your own destiny and be thought of as a man, instead of a cause for people who don't know or care about you. You can choose your own fate, and your own legacy, and bring peace and closure to the people you hurt, or you can be someone's poster child and be made a fool.
It's your choice, Mr. _____________. Please think about ending all this grief, and do the right thing by not appealing the conviction and sentence you brought upon yourself.
**** funny! you'd think that when he is FINALLY talking to the people that he HATES so much; that are the reason for him having to take up HOURS a day on their message board - ya think he'd have the testicular fortitude
to SORTA sound like the self he is when he posts on the board....
wink .... but no in that letter; he's all "mr" - what happened to it?
I guess like a lot of people; who he is and how he presents himself all depends on who he is talking to

to an anti death penalty activist on this board
You are a scumpal and a waste of oxygen.

Good question. It's a job no one wants. Frankly, I see no reason why DR guards can't be replaced by some form of automation. To appease the liberals, we could put each murderer into a coma, feed them all intravenously and evacuate bodily waste (I know: redundant) via catherization.
******************************
Guards are necessarily cold and cruel on death row for several reasons. DR inmates are already dead, as far as the state's citizens are concerned. Their executions are mere formalities. There is no rational incentive for a guard to protect the life of an already-condemned murderer. Moreover, because murderers have nothing to lose, the quicker murderers expire, the better.
**********************************
Humans on death row? Where? I don't see any.
Oh wait, the guards. Right.
***********************************
the condemned murderer's family doesn't count.
***********************************
Murderers are biological waste
************************************
What doesn't matter is how a murderer feels about its crime or about its victim after receiving a sentence of death. To most of the public, the murderer at that point is already dead, and is merely queued for disposal.
************************************
This assumes a vicious killer ever regrets its crime, prior to execution. It really doesn't matter, since, by definition, one can never atone for murder.
**********************************
If you're worried about the subjectivity of juries during the penalty phase, make capital punishment automatic following a finding of guilt.
