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.
One Down!
Mod me down if you like, but DEATH to all spammers. I'm glad he took his crotch-fruit with him, so they won't grow up to spam like daddy.
But this is slashdot. A slashdoter who didn't build his own computer is like a Jedi who didn't build his own lightsaber!
It's spam. Who cares. He shouldn't have been in jail to begin with.
I feel bad for the kid that was killed by its loser of a father. The wife, though, presumably had no problem with her asshole husband ruining things for everyone so she could have a new TV. I just can't feel too sympathetic for her. I mean, what do you expect when you hitch your fortunes to a sociopath? "Ooh, he makes a good living through fraud and jackassery. I bet he'll treat me well!"
Dewey, what part of this looks like authorities should be involved?
HA HA!
At least his children won't grow up to be sociopaths like their father.
If only we'd let him do his thing. He wasn't causing that much trouble, but look at what happens when you don't appease the crazy.
May he burn in Hell.
Quoting a line from TFA is informative. Hm.
True, he might be a coward, I didn't know him. But I found that comment by the prosecutor to be tawdry. This is a complete tragedy from A to Z and now isn't the time for some bureaucrat to be spouting off his moralizing judgments about someone's character as if life is some lame religion comic book.
But I guess the bureaucrat feels safe because nobody would dare defend Davidson. Surprise, Law & Order flunkie, you don't have to like Davidson to recognize a pandering wannabe hero to the kind of people who need to understand the world by pinning a label (written in crayon) to everything, even if it is a corpse.

He shouldn't have killed his family, that was a very poor choice.
He should have went on a rampage against the govt. and police.
No one is going to cry over a boatload of dead politicians and cops.
Fuck his family, he was a fucking criminal and his family leeched off of those ill gotten gains. Quite frankly, that 1 year old should be dead too, just to get the rest of those waste of genes out of the human pool.
And fuck you for taking my quote out of context, you simple minded pile of horse shit.
Attorney Troy Eid said "What a nightmare, and such a coward" implying he was a coward for killing himself and not serving his time - that is the fundamental flaw in our imprisonment system. It's a system of punishment that people are afraid of, and are sent to out of a misguided sense of social vengeance rather than social rehabilitation.
"The thing is that it wasn't a FPYITA prison [and] His sentence was less than 2 years"
I'm with you it seems ridiculous. In fact, I think it looks so ridiculous it's time for the tinfoil hat: what do you think it's less surprising? A millionaire that probably isn't lacking (lots of) funds in some fiscal paradise who scapes from a low security prision that looks more like a summer camp than a prision only to kill himself, his wife and daughter within 48 hours, or an action from his crime sindicate fellows in order to avoid the guy to sing like a canary to the feds about them and to send a very clear message to others that might be looking for such a way to go out the gang?
Too bad it wasn't you and the 4 or 5 people that modded you funny in the car with him.

"Thank god, somebody actually gets it. I sit here in Europe gritting my teeth at all the Americans flooding the web chatting cold-bloodedly about killing criminals or locking them away for life, with no apparent conception of the idea that people can be reformed or that punishment ought to be appropriate rather than exemplary if you want people to respect the law."
Wrong story to post this on - he was in a minimum security prison for a few years, not the Federal Pen for life.
And how exactly does one reform such a person? Maybe the same way smug self righteousnesses is cured?

No worries, he's just doing the usual "find a way to blame the USA and get free Karma" bit.
:-D)
I've found that reading the news a few hours later in the day helps with this. The kiddies on the US-bashing bandwagon who mod-up comments like his tend to be among the first on Slashdot; if you wait a while, the grown-ups (who have actual jobs and don't roll in until lunchtime) will mod them back down a bit.

Call me sensitive, but the whole case stopped being less "funny" and more tragic when it turned out he'd killed his three-year-old daughter.
This was at Score:5 (Funny) when I started this comment, and it seems to have gone down abruptly to 2. Guess I'm not the only one who thought this. Still, who were the insensitive fucks who modded this shit up in the first place?
Probably the same vermin who make eugenically-moralising comments like this one. Sick, nasty fucks.

I can't believe someone would be so upset over being institutionalized (for their own actions, no less!) that they'd feel the need to kill their family as well as themselves.
What a sad state of affairs.
Good riddance to a piece of shit.
At least his family can't carry on his work
The "eat shit and die, spammer!" — an expression, no doubt, uttered millions of times in this scumbag's general direction — must've had its effect, finally... I wonder, if any feces were, indeed, found in his mouth...
Awful, that it had to include his family too... Must curse less the next time I get spammed...
In Soviet Washington the swamp drains you.
Where as non-caucasian males would, customarily, just walk away with no guilt and no feelings of any responsibility?
Sounds pretty racist, any way you want to try to advance that argument.
If you really held the conviction of your belief in that statement, then you wouldn't hide behind "Anonymous Coward", would you -- any of you who would post such things as "Anonymous Coward". :p
She not only gave sexual pleasure to a spammer, she helped propagate its DNA.
She also picked him up from prison so he could put a bullet in her. Dumb bitch. I could have made her feel like a woman and also treated her like one and she wouldn't be dead right now. I feel sorry for the kids, though.
"I could have made her feel like a woman and also treated her like one"
You would have given her a dish towel too? Wow, great minds think alike!!!
Hell, look at Christopher Reeve. He didn't do shit to help paralyzed people until he was.
Not a Twitter sockpuppet... but I wish I was.
Don't get me wrong though: it's not like I'm lighting candles every day for all the people in the world that die in some tragic, senseless way -- but I will feel sadness if reminded of the fact. If this spammer had just offed himself, I'd be the first one to say "good riddance!"; but he took some other lives down with him, and making jokes about the whole thing is tasteless at best.
