epic troll is epic

It does point out some of the flaws in the criminal justice system. Of course, there is the other side in which innocent people are convicted based on racial profiling, poverty, poor legal counsel, mental illness, and shoddy police work, fastracked through the court system and executed before they've come to grips with what is happening.

So, we've got that going for us.

That guy needs a care package full of cobras.

Although is sure SEEMS we've been pranked,
I think that this dick should be thanked!
The chair might have missed him,
But cheating the system?
That's one way to get yourself shanked.

Gee, that sounds like such a great life! I don't see why we don't all commit a couple of murders so we can spend the rest of our lives on death row!

I know nothing of his case, but he calls his sentence 'unjustful.' Assuming he is guilty, is he in denial or something? Even if a convicted murderer has a mountain of evidence against him, is it typical for him to describe his case in such terms that suggest his innocence? I guess a guilty person could feel there's always a chance they could get their death sentence overturned, but if it's pretty clear they did it, why bother? Are they delusional?

I just don't understand the implied innocence if the convict is clearly guilty.

Curious.

That was...impressive.

Hats off to you, Prison Troll Guy.

The newspaper should have never printed it.
That sickens me.

We do need to fix the prison system.
Out gentle paws approach certainly is not working.

but, as a society we are getting more 'sensitive' as our criminals stack up, repeat offenders are freed, and murderers get to laugh at the families of the victims.
There's enough people that need killin' without this kind of sissification

Nothing an excellent sniper with a 50 caliber rifle can't resolve.

Laughing boy is enjoying his hour in the yard. They let the lifers have the run of the yard. He thinks about the letter he wrote and he thinks he'll write another later today. Maybe to the victim's family. That's always fun. Worse thing that'll happen is he gets dragged in to court. That's a bus ride downtown, get to mix with people in the court and the jailers always stop at McD's on the way back. Pretty good day.

His head jerks back, Strangely, blood starts dripping down his face. He tries to wipe it away but his hands aren't responding. There's a loud crack as the sound to the rifle finally catches up with the round. He starts to fall and can't stop himself. Guards are blowing whistles. They seem like they're miles away.

He hits the ground hard. Everything seems so distant. Even though he can't feel anything, it seems to be getting colder. The brain is issuing commands for things to happen but nothing is responding. It gets dim and he hears a guard yelling "Holy sh**! The back o' his head is missing!" He wonders who the guard is talking about.

Then he hears Elvis saying "Git yer spikey bats ready folks. There a good 'un comin' down the pipe!"

Given the recent number of convicted people sentenced to death row who were later found to be innocent of those crimes through DNA evidence, I don't really trust our current society to 'get tough' on crime.

I don't think you appreciate the subjectivity of truth and self-awareness. most criminals are somewhat delusional. this guy probably thinks he's the good guy.

/ i have a friend who does psych evals on violent criminals. she told me a story about a convicted rapist who maintains his innocence. he claims it was consensual. the facts are: a woman walked by him on the street and said 'hi'. he took her in an alley, raped her and beat her. she ended up in the hospital seriously injured. He still maintains it was consensual. it's not his argument for court, it's what he believes. because a stranger said 'hi' to him on the street
