Spam King and Family Dead In Murder-Suicide
Lt.Hawkins was one of many readers sending in word that the escaped spam king discussed yesterday was found dead in Colorado, after apparently killing his wife and 3-year-old daughter. A teenager was injured, and an infant was found alive in the car.
Yes, let's kill little children because they lived on ill-gotten gains.
I could support some sort of punishment for the wife (not death thought!), but innocent children who didn't have any say in their dad being a a spamming scumbag?
You may be the most misanthropic person on Slashdot, and that means a lot, especially coming from me. Even those VHE wackos don't hold a candle to you.

If only the prison system rewarded the spammers instead of punishing, the spammer might still be with us today. Think of the spammers.
The good thing to come out of this story is the taxpayers won't have to pay his free room and board and free food at the prison. Maybe spamming should be a capital offense, or if not, I think that convicted spammers should be forced to read at least 10,000 spam emails a day.
I feel sorry for the kid, but the parents are to blame. The wife had to know this guy was a spammer.
"The man was obviously deeply disturbed."
I disagree. He chose to take his own life - that doesn't mean he was mentally ill. If it does, that means that all of the advocates for assisted suicide are accomplices to murder.
He chose to kill others. Again, that doesn't mean he was mentally ill. People kill family members all the time and they know EXACTLY what they are doing, or are "in the heat of the moment" which implies NOT using your thought processes, be they irregular or normal.
He may well have been mentally ill - sociopathy or psychopathy comes to mind. But his murderous actions are not conclusive evidence of either.

I disagree.
That he killed his family, especially his children, is a tragedy.
That he killed himself, though? A fitting end to a wasted life. It's a pity he didn't do it earlier, but I'm still glad he did it, just to save society the money that would be required for his incarceration. Had he just stopped at killing himself, I'd have given him a small margin of respect for finally doing one thing right.
The guy was worse than just a waste; he was a net drain. Society is better with him dead.
Not everyone is a special, wonderful snowflake. The world is not a better place for everyone being in it. There are quite a few people around who've made it their life's purpose to steal and destroy, and their deaths are nothing that I'm going to mourn.
"Ladies and gentlemen, my killbot features Lotus Notes and a machine gun. It is the finest available."
It takes someone with a minor god complex. "I'm the only thing that matters to my family, so they're better off dead." I know some people here will celebrate the spammers death, but I would have rather seen him in a 8x10 cell.
Im glad he's dead.
Shame about the Wife tho.

Time to institute what I've been demanding for years...a shoot-to-kill order in "apprehending" all spammers in the first place.
Now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure everything I just said is completely wrong.
Well shit. Armchair psychologists like you are what give the science a bad name. You have no bloody idea what you are talking about. Your logic is so flawed that what you're saying isn't even wrong. It doesn't make enough sense nor is it sufficiently coherent to even have a truth value applied to it whatsoever.
PLEASE stop posting this line of trash.

You have an anger problem.
Just callin' it like I see it.
You have a stupidity problem.
There is no "-1 offended" or "-1 you don't agree with me" mod options for a reason.
