Me, too. I was heavily into drugs back in the day, drunk every day. Never did anything illegal (except buy drugs).

Fuck right off.

Based on his brutal crimes, he Otte be executed.

Again with the gwaker hive mind. So much hate for people with money.

“It’s a God-damned shame that the vast majority of the wealthy world hasn’t had enough personal death in their lives... “

I think what they’re pointing out is that you’re using your conception of morality to replace actual legal terms in an attempt to make your views sound superior to everyone else who does not agree with you. Your conception of morality is not universally shared. It does you sound like a tool, though.

I wish you were scheduled to be murdered

Since capital punishment was in force during the founding of the country, I hardly think that it violates the 8th amendment.

I have an idea, let’s take a word with a commonly accepted meaning, and use it to describe something else, because we want to make a lazy point.

I took the OP’s response to mean “I don’t give a shit what this murderous scumbag has to say.” Up to a point, I can understand. Much of society today tends to focus on the accused/guilty and “what made them do such a thing,” while the victims are easily brushed aside and out of the public eye.

Oh look, someone that needs to look up the definition of murder.

No, he’s scheduled to be executed. Murder is the unlawful intentional killing of a human. He was tried and convicted in a court of law in a democratic society and sentenced to be executed, which was upheld on multiple appeals. The intentional killing is therefore lawful, regardless of whether you personally agree with…

Right on. And his murder should have been scheduled and carried out more than 20 years ago. He got to live two decades longer than the Robert Wasikowski who he murdered after he was offered his wallet and valuables. He also got to live two decades longer than Sharon Kostura, the lady he executed the next day under the…

Maybe so. Know who else was murdered? Bobby Wasikowski who was ‘scheduled’ to go pick up some motor oil.

Yep. These letters from death row certainly are interesting reads...that being said each one should start with a little story about the lives of the individuals these sacks of shit ended.

I know the Bible says “judge not lest ye be judged,” but this Gary Otte fella was a real jerk.

Someday, one of these guys writing to Hamilton is going to take an iota of responsibility for his actions. That, in turn, will allow me to feel some empathy for them. Until then, I don’t want to hear how the drugs you took caused organic changes to your brain or how the prison industrial complex is taking advantage of…

Ive been depressed, functioning alcoholic for most of my life and havent murdered anyone.

Fuck this guy and fuck you for giving him a platform.

“Robert R. “Bobby W.” Wasikowski, of Parma, Ohio, was a very kind and generous man - always helping those less fortunate. He truly enjoyed helping people in their time of need. He was an active member of the American Legion Post 703 in Parma and spent most of his free time with his friends at the Post and attended…
