Spam King Escapes From Federal Prison
Bobfrankly1 writes "The FBI, IRS, and the Rocky Mountain Safe Streets Task Force are helping the US Marshals search for escaped 'Spam King' Edward 'Eddie' Davidson. He apparently jumped in a car with his wife, changed clothes at home, and hasn't been seen since." Update: 07/24 22:20 GMT by T : It seems that Davidson has been found, victim of a murder-suicide which also left two others dead.
If only there was some way to send an email to everybody in the world with this information.
;-)
Here's the FBI press release.
Help a man when he is in trouble and he will remember you when he is in trouble again.
I knew they were hurting for ideas but this is rediculous!
I thought that changing clothes only worked if your wanted level was 2 stars.
Really, really bad move. Now, instead of two years at summer camp, he will go to many more years of Federal Pound-me-in-the-a$$ Prison. It is really, really hard in today's day and age to avoid being captured, even with a lot of money if you want to live at some decent level. His best bet I think is to go to a foreign country where he could blend in, and live inconspicuously.
Even in some place like Mexico he would be quite a stand out if he flashed cash, and in the US you'd ultimately fall temptation to going to the local drugstore and risk being nabbed on camera. Any lawyers know if there are any countries which would absolutely refuse extradition? If so, he would still need to 1) get there and 2) transfer enough money to survive, and much more if he couldn't work.
Interestingly enough, I think the next play depends on how many resources the US government will put into capturing him and raising awareness among people. A stint on "Dateline" or widely watched / read program would help any possible acquaintances turn him in.
Slashdotter, ID #101. UIDs are in binary, right?
Why not actually have criminals go to prison?
On the upside, I'm pretty sure it's legal to shoot escaped convicts.
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
Who the hell runs from a 2 year bid at a club fed?
Looks like the police spam blocker wasn't configured properly :(
He's going to totally ruin the honor system for everyone else.
I for one welcome our new king of penis enlargement overlord.
In real jail, your inbox is crammed full of unsolicited male.
He had a 21 month sentence in a minimum security work camp a.k.a "Club Fed". Now he gets an automatic 10 years added on for escaping and he'll be doing it in maximum security "Pound me in the ass" prison with the real bad dudes. This guy really isn't very bright.
Be on the lookout for a man with a large penis and breasts, lots of mortgages, sexy naked teens, and a bottle of v1@grA. He was last seen with the ex-Minister of Finance for Nigeria, Dr Mugotumbe.
It is by the juice of the coffee bean that thoughts acquire speed, the teeth acquire stains. The stains become a warning
Prison is for violent people.
You forgot our incredibly successful war on drugs.
W..w..W - Willy Waterloo washes Warren Wiggins who is washing Waldo Woo.
Apparently it's just Women & people who appreciate them he doesn't like.
Wanna fight ? Bend over, stick your head up your ass, and fight for air.
Soon to be crammed full of unsolicited MALE. Once they catch him and send him off to REAL prison!
What a maroon! He get's sent to the country club you aren't allowed to leave for a less than 2 year vacation and he ESCAPES? He's gonna get EXACTLY what he deserves now.
Official Heretic from the "Church of Global Warming". Proven right thanks to whistle blowers. AGW = Flat Earth Theory
I heard that he is about to recieve eleventy jillion dollars from a Nigerian prince.
Of course there are. He should email everybody to apologise!

Nothing quite as funny as gay prison rape.

This describes the one in Nevada. (I couldn't find the one in CO)
Inmates, who dress in tan shirts and pants, may participate in a work program on Nellis AFB. The inmates typically perform janitorial services, cleaning floors, restrooms, and emptying trash from office buildings around the base. They also perform groundskeeping, and clean the base bowling alley. Each workcenter that uses inmate labor must assign an NCO or officer to monitor and direct the work throughout the day. These monitors receive a card after training (a video and lecture given by the correctional officers). The card authorizes monitors to transport the prisoners with them each morning (most weekdays) to their workcenters. Inmates are not allowed to leave the base to perform work. Inmates often say the work relieves the boredom they would otherwise face at the prison camp. The program saves taxpayers money that would otherwise be spent on contracted services or longer/less productive work hours by military personnel.
And this is about the Women's one in WV:
The camp comprises 105 acres (425,000 mÂ) of rolling hills. While there are no metal fences surrounding the camp, prisoners have schedules and must work. Free time is spent playing volleyball, softball or tennis.
Most of the inmates at FPC Alderson have been convicted of non-violent or white-collar crime. They sleep in bunk beds in dormitories or in cottages.
Expect him to talk tough to you too since Internet should be capitalized. (douchebag)
Support a few technologists in Washington.
You're allowed to shoot escaped convicts on sight, right?
The one-armed man did it!
Since his crime involved the Internet, it was more likely the one-hand-free man.
I think you're thinking of Digg ...
If only there was some way to Digg your comment, this wonderful circle of justice would be complete.

Cue the 400 posts arguing whether or not "Internet" should be capitalized.
Here on Slashdot, a Wife is at the very least a mythical creature like a Gorgon or a Chimera, if not an actual Deity. Capitalization is required.
I love my wife dearly. I really do.
But if you're equating wives to deities in the sense that they're mystical infallible ideal beings, it's very clear that you're either unmarried or a newlywed. If you're comparing them to immensely powerful beings whose will dictates all that happens around them with no regard to the consequences and around whom all within their realm must quiver before and do their bidding or fear their wrath, I suspect you've been over to my place to visit.

Is it odd that I read "inflatable" rather than infallible?

ARAPAHOE COUNTY, Colo. -- A man, woman and toddler were shot to death and a teenage girl was wounded outside a home near Bennett Thursday in what an investigator called a "horrific" scene. Neighbors told The Denver Post that the man was 'Spam King' Edward "Eddie" Davidson and his family. The Arapahoe County Sheriff's Office said another infant appeared to be unharmed in the shooting.

Why do cowards always have to kill their families too? I hope this gutless bastard roasts in hell!
