Hans Reiser Interview on ABC's 20/20
baegucb_18706 noted that ABCs 20/20 has a lengthy article on the saga of the Hans Reiser murder trial. I'm not sure if this article provided any information that you might not have known if you read the earlier wired interview, but it's still a really strange story.
I realize it has no real bearing on the man's guilt or innocence, but that man is seriously creepy. Did they have him on doped to the eyeballs? I had it mute the sound when he read the poem to his kid or I would have had nightmares.
Once several police officers finally pounced upon him, he shrieked back, "Don't taze me, comrade!"
I hope, when they die, cartoon characters have to answer for their sins.
his kind of thought is the reason that we have the system that we do. Just because someone is a complete and utter dick doesn't mean that they're guilty of murder.
You need to educate yourself on this issue. We have this system the way we do because it is true. Dicks that abuse their wives are statistically likely to kill them. In fact, there's a better correlation for that than there is for linking manmade CO2 to global warming. Just look at it logically. If you so little regard the mother of your children that you beat her and ruin her life when she's trying to help you, why wouldn't you kill her if you think she actually betrayed her. It's total sociopathic logic - good == beating, bad == kill. Nina was bad, and so he killed her.
Even look at his whole defense argument - Nina was bad, Nina was bad... not one shred of remorse or loss for her. And really, honestly, you could probably make an argument that even if he wasn't even 90% guilty, he's just such a dick that he should be executed. The guy treated his whole family like shit, and his much hyped file system wasn't even all that original to begin with. PICK was doing his stuff way before he even thought of it.
This is my sig.
How come? Do you think it's likely that he will murder someone else?
Nope, don't care if he murders someone else. He's just a dick, has been a dick a number of times, and ultimately finally did one dickish thing. So yeah, he killed his wife, and yeah, there's a chance that he could kill someone else. But really, its more like, he's a shitty person from the get go, and therefor, off the island of life with him.
Maybe he can sort things out with Jesus or something, or, if his religion has no resurrection ship, his death will be permanent. Either way, I don't care. He should have treated his family with the respect that it deserves and he should not have killed his wife. He made his choices, and now I and other American citizens will make ours.
Death Penalty.
This is my sig.
No, the statistics show that domestic abuse is shockingly common
So, in essence, what you are saying is that domestic abusers should be allowed to live.
This is my sig.
Oh, I get it. You're trolling. You almost got me there
Is that your lame answer? Answer the question - do domestic abusers to live. Go ahead and type that baby out, "domestic abusers deserve to live!"
This is my sig.
Because anyone who loves his wife that blindedly should be put to death!
If he loved his life so blindedly, why didn't he pay child support?
Why the restraining order(s)?
He didn't love her, and he killed her.
This is my sig.
nagging wives of the world beware!
They're using their grammar skills there.
I'm viscerally disgusted with you. Making up total bullshit like:
Total bullshit? LOL. You still haven't answered the question. Do people that abuse their wives deserve to live. All you have to do is write: "Yes, people that beat their wives deserve to live!"
All emotion, zero critical thinking skills.
YOU don't deserve to live. People like you are so easily manipulated, you are responsible for the deterioration of modern society.
Wife-beaters hurt their families, fucktards like you hurt the entire country.
Emotion is what makes us human. You can go ahead and try and make yourself into a dispassionate computer. But guess what, you will never ever be as good at being a computer as a computer. They have no emotion to combat, they have better circuts, they are faster, can store more, and do more. Emotion is all we really have, and honestly, even then, computers will be programmed to have that to.
Easily manipulated? You are the one that thinks its ok to beat your wife.
All emotion, zero critical thinking skills.
Let's roll on with this one from another tack. Would you not think, then, that George Bush was the greatest president ever for invading Iraq and getting his hands on all of that oil? Or, are you one of those that gush on about the illegality of the war and the damage to mother earth. Critical thinking! Please! Or, do you scream out, "I hate George Bush", when you beat your wife!
