Not really, Thoth. Typical sociopathic criminal BS. He doesn't really believe it either, he just knows that there is some stupid sucker out there who will fall for that crap (like a future pen pal, one of those bizarre chicks who marry an inmate, or someone else he can use on the outside to get him something he wants by appealing to sympathy for his "rough life".)

Time to return to vendetta. Let juries decide not whether the party is guilty or not, but whether the defendent had an original right to justice not rendered by the state.

...as people yelled things at Handy and then his friends yelled back at them...Deputies detained two men after the hearing for threatening victims families.

Like they say in Texas, "some people jus' need killin'." However, since the punk said he spent 8 years in jail and he's only 24, how long has it been since he got out?
If they sent him into adult prison at 16, this jerk's already got a size 48 anal orifice. The best we can hope for under the current system is to send him back to Bubba and hope he dies of AIDS in jail. That's actually a waste because what should happen is his organs should be harvested and used to benefit some other people in society who have actually contributed to the public good. That way at least something positive would come from what appears to have been a completely negative individual life.

Nobody will ever know what's going on in this guy's head. He doesn't even know what's going on because he's broken. Put him away or kill him and forget he exists. No need to be upset or punitive. Retribution would be nice, but it is lost on people who don't have the capacity to feel for others. And I mean DO NOT HAVE THE CAPACITY. Once people accept that, seeing what needs to be done gets easier. I would also give this kind of criminal the option to be humanely put out of their misery at any time by the method of their choice as long as it would save society money, trouble, and risk. They are of no value except for some kind of science experiment to figure out how the brain works. Or doesn't. And maybe come up with a way to figure it out and fix it genetically so it doesn't happen so often.

Last out of his cell, first one back inside. Solitary confinement, restricted privileges, overcrowded cell. Slow maintenance on his sink or toilet. There's a raft of ways to make this cretin's life miserable. I hope he gets them all. Feel the joy, Handy.

Zenster, you're assuming that he could come to some kind of "insight" about his behavior, and that piling enough shit on him is going to make him cry "uncle" and be a good boy. He can't. He doesn't have the capacity to do so.
Mr Handy simply doesn't have a conscience or empathy, and punishment measures like you mention just aren't going to make a dent in his way of thinking. If anything, he sees the rest of the world who do have sympathy for others as inferior to him. He doesn't want to be cured. His mama may want him to be, but that ain't gonna happen, ever.
Fortunately he's in a place where he can't hurt the innocent, and is more likely to run into a fellow predator someday. If there is any justice in all of this, it is that he is going to forever have to be the baddest SOB in there.....and there's ALWAYS going to be someone younger, stronger and a little quicker showing up on the doorstep in the future. His chances of living to a ripe old age aren't good. Thank heaven for that.

Amen, Thoth. Geez, insult to insult to injury.
This is precisely the type that should be put down, without hesitation, not warehoused until some idiot parole board lets him out due to overcrowding or some addled social engineer convinces an equally idiotic Gov that he's been rehabbed.
It ain't Crime and Warehousing or Crime and Rehab, it's Crime and Punishment.
The chairman of the publicly funded Canadian Broadcasting Corp. has resigned after remarks about bestiality and ruminations about defecation, Canadian Heritage Minister Bev Oda said on Tuesday.
Guy Fournier created an uproar in Canada's Lebanese community and in the media when he claimed that Lebanon allowed men to have sexual relations with female animals, but reserved the death penalty for those who did so with male animals. In comments made in May, and replayed in a CBC weekend interview, he talked at length about the joys of bowel movements.
"He has increasingly lost the confidence of Canada's new government," Oda told the House of Commons. "I inform this House that I have received the voluntary resignation of Mr. Fournier effective today."

Thus giving us another "not with a bang, but with a whimper" moment...

Good lord, the reason manners were invented was originally so we wouldn't have to listen to such talk in that short period between potty training and moving to the retirement home. I do not want to know what subconscious performance anxiety caused him to sabotage himself in this particular way.

He should not have made comments on such a sensitive subject. In his position, he should have known that any mention whatsoever of muslim homosexuality will cause seething! :-)
Premier Ralph Klein confirmed Wednesday morning that he has submitted his resignation letter to the Alberta Tory party - effective today - signalling the start to the long-awaited leadership race. Klein told reporters at an event at Heritage Park that he filed his letter to the party about a week ago. However, it didn't kick in until today so his wife Colleen could release a crystal meth report, unveiled on Tuesday, from the committee she co-chaired. Until the next leader is sworn in, it'll be "business as usual," Klein said Wednesday.

Arizona authorities are moving to broaden their efforts to seize money transmissions intended for smugglers of drugs and people.
According to court papers filed by Western Union Financial Services Inc., the Attorney General's Office is asking a state judge to issue a warrant allowing authorities to seize large cash transmissions sent to 26 specific locations in the Mexican state of Sonora even if the money is sent directly to Mexico from a state other than Arizona.
Arizona already has a program to seize wire transmissions of money allegedly related to smuggling and sent to or from Arizona, but the proposed expansion would also cover transfers of $500 or more of cash sent from 28 U.S. states to specified places in Sonora, attorneys for Englewood, Colo.-based Western Union said in a complaint filed in U.S. District Court. Authorities say wire transmissions of money are used to move cash being paid to smugglers of people and drugs and that seizing the money is a deterrent to those crimes because it reduces the profit motive.
Western Union's lawyers argued that the state's plan for broadened seizures would damage the company's business by scaring off customers and violate constitutional protections for interstate and international commerce. Judge Stephen M. McNamee on Wednesday denied Western Union's request for a temporary restraining order.
Assistant Attorney General Cameron H. Holmes, chief counsel of the office's financial remedies section, told McNamee that the seizures are based on a reliable screening process, subject to state court supervision and legal because the money that would be seized was tied to smuggling activities in Arizona.
"Everything they do is centered in Phoenix," said Holmes. "All that matters is that we have an Arizona crime and Western Union has the power to direct that money to us."
Western Union attorney Francis J. Burke Jr. argued that people in other states and countries should not have to deal with Arizona authorities to win release of seized wire transfers. "The only way they get it back is to be interrogated by a detective in Arizona," he said.
Holmes said people trying to claim money subject to possible seizure are questioned by detectives but given the benefit of the doubt. Of the disputes that went to court, "we have never lost any of these cases," he said.

I'm conflicted here, the Money transfers need to be stopped, but by confiscating money NOT wired in their stste, it becomes nothing more than theft by government.

I would think they would merely hold onto it and give the sender time to complain and prove their case when they wire money to a known criminal. No complaint/no theft. Voila! Also cuts down on his business and loses him friends/gains him enemies, etc.
ISLAMABAD: PML MNA Ali Akbar Wains made a surprising complaint to the CDA at a Public Accounts Committee (PAC) meeting on Wednesday, saying that cockroaches in his official residence had made his life a living hell. The meeting was held at Parliament House to review audit objections on the maintenance and construction of parliament lodges. "My complaint is different and strange. It has become impossible for me to live in my official residence because of cockroaches," he said. "I have asked CDA officials several times to come to my rescue, but nothing has been done. Cracks in woodwork provide a safe place for these insects to hide," Wains added.

Mr. Wife only later told me of the cockroaches in his room when he was hospitalized in Bhopal with amebic dysentery. Those bugs are serious! Not at all like the little, scurrying things we have in more temperate climes.
Religious scholar Dr Javed Ahmed Ghamdi resigned from the Council of Islamic Ideology (CII) on Wednesday, saying the government had bypassed the constitutional body on the Protection of Women Bill. "I put in my resignation during a council meeting. The chairman of the council and all my colleagues asked me not to resign, but my decision is final and irreversible," Dr Ghamdi told Daily Times. The government formed a separate committee of ulema to review the bill with the stated purpose of ensuring it was in conformity with Islamic injunctions. Dr Ghamdi said this was a breach of the CII's jurisdiction, since the very purpose of the council is to ensure that Pakistan's laws do not conflict with the teachings of Islam.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) -- Wal-Mart announced today that it will start a test program in Florida, where it will sell generic prescription drugs for $4 for a 30-day supply. The test will start tomorrow in 65 Tampa Bay-area stores and is to expand to the whole state by January. In a statement, CEO Lee Scott says the world's largest retailer intends to "take the program to as many states as possible next year."
On average, generic drugs tend to cost between $10 and $30 for a month-long supply.
The world's biggest retailer said Thursday that it will test the program in Florida and it will include 291 generic drugs available for conditions from allergies to high-blood pressure. The plan is available to its employees and customers, including those without insurance.
Wal-Mart officials said the reduced price represents a savings to the customer of up to 70 percent on some drugs. "Wal-Mart is taking this step so our customers and associates can get the medicines they need at a cost they can afford," Bill Simon, executive vice president of the company's professional services division, said in announcing the plan at a Tampa, Fla., store.
The program will be launched on Friday at 65 Wal-Mart, Neighborhood Market and Sams' Club pharmacies in the Tampa Bay area and will be expanded to the entire state in January. Simon wouldn't be specific about why Florida and specifically the Tampa Bay area was chosen for the rollout of the initiative, saying only that there was a need for it here.
After this announcement its shares fell 17 cents to $48.70 in morning trading on the New York Stock Exchange.
