Jailed Spam King Caught Conspiring to Kill Witness

An anonymous reader writes "Spam king Christopher William Smith, aka Rizler, is facing up to life in prison for conspiracy to tamper with a witness and up to 20 years for endeavoring to obstruct justice. The charges are based on an alleged phone call in which he threatened to have a witness or the witness' family killed to prevent them from testifying against him in an upcoming trial on drug and related charges.

      If he doesn't enjoy the assreaming he's getting from inmate #49147, he can simply opt out of future pelvic thrusts by saying "I opt out of future pelvic thrusts" to inmate #49147.

      Of course, inmate #49148 has as much right as #49147 to offer his exciting products and and services as #49147 does. It's only one stroke, right? Just opt out, Rizler! Just opt out!

    It was one of several calls made by Smith to numbers not linked with his defense attorney that officials at the Elk River facility monitored and recorded.

    Remember, when you're going to call someone from jail to discuss killing a witness have them steal your attorney's cell phone first...

    It's the context of this joke that I don't believe we as a society should tolerate (in a social, not legal sense). Here we have an object of public scorn (the Spam King -- I hate him too) who might go to prison, and we think it's funny that he might get raped once he gets there. We're not joking about a general concept, we're laughing about a terrible thing that is likely to happen to a real person.

    See, it's all a big misunderstanding.

    You're mistaking a spamming scumbag for a human being.
