Man Robs Home of Reservist Murdered in Iraq
Cripes - this one REALLY pisses me off
NORRISTOWN, Pa. — A man pleaded guilty Wednesday to ransacking the apartment of a newlywed Marine reservist killed in Iraq, breaking in while his widow was with family members planning the soldier's funeral. Prosecutors said Kevin Selvoski, 24, and an alleged accomplice stole a computer and video games to buy heroin. "You have an individual who paid the ultimate price for his country and they gave him a slap in the face by robbing him and his widow," said prosecutor Robert Sander.
"Can we please get the death penalty for burglary - this one time?"
Prosecutors said Selvoski had called the widow of Cpl. John Todd, 25, and expressed his condolences.
"I'm sorry I'm such a piece of excrement - I was dropped on my head a lot as a child...and teen"
Selvoski, who also faces hard ass-breaking prison time for probation violations, pleaded guilty to burglary, criminal conspiracy and possession of heroin; under a plea deal, he has agreed to testify against his alleged accomplice. No sentencing date was set.
a squealer too! He'll be somebody's love sponge by lights-out
Todd's widow, Colleen, and his parents were at the hearing along with two uniformed Marines."I'd like to see both of them go away for an extremely long time," said Gunnery Sgt. Johnnie Walker, a public affairs officer. Family members declined to comment.

I'd just let the Marines take him for a walk in the forest

#1  Pennsylvania has a death penalty, doesn't it?
Posted by: Mike || 11/25/2004 11:05 Comments || Top||

#2  Yeah, but we can't even manage to liquidate a cop-killing piece of shit like Mumia, so don't stay up late in anticipation of such an end for a pair of dicks who, when all is said and done, only robbed a war widow. That wouldn't rate the death penalty in Texas, let alone a marginal blue-state like the Commonwealth.

As consolation, reflect on this: hard prison time isn't likely to get any softer once their fellow-inmates find out what they're in for.

Afghanistan/South Asia
Woman killed for not bearing son
A mother of two girls was beaten to death by her in-laws for failing to give birth to a son, in Manawan police precincts on Wednesday. Muhammad Majeed of Sharifpura got his daughter Kausar married to neighbour Muhammad Waris. The couple had two daughters, but Mr Waris's desire for a son led to escalating fights. On Wednesday after a fight, Waris, younger brother Muhammad Tariq, mother Irshad and sister Asma beat Kausar with metal rods. The body was sent for an autopsy. Police arrested all four attackers and registered a case.
Jesus wept.
