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.
