again, as I have postd before...the Death Penalty needs to be passed into law for Minnesota.true, this man has killed no one but the crimes he has commited, well if found guilty he should be put to death. A case such as this is a perfect example of someone who is in definite need of such a sentence. It is time for lawmakers to take a stand against thugs and losers such as this and execute them.....let's take a stand and well this would be an awesome place to start.

Get the attention of your lawmakers and make it happen. C'mon Minnesotans, stop burying your heads in the sand and hoping this kind of stuff just goes away. It won't until honest, hardworking Americans make their demands known to their elected officials. Oak Tree, this guy isn't worth the cost of a rope, nor a bullet. Cut his p # ck #r off, feed it to him, and then let him bleed to death.

Do as the muslims do. Bury him to his waste, and let all of his victims stone him to death.

Don't kid yourself...if we're friendly enough with the right C.O., yes we can get computer access (but it's only dial-up). j/k

On a serious note, if you want to take the actions of Black lowlifes like this fellow and use them to belittle law-abiding Blacks, I don't have a problem with it.....AS LONG AS you are man enough to apply the same principle to your own race.

What an idiotic thing to say. How does this animal have anything to do with Workaday?
Listen, I have no problem with someone going after someone's behavior. This rapist is an animal and a complete POS. But to insinuate that Workaday has anything substantial in common with this idiot simply because they're both black is juvenile and foolish.
There is a serious crime problem in the black community, but that doesn't mean there aren't good people in said community who have nothing in common with this rapist. Don't be a part of the problem and lump everyone in together. Everyone deserves to be judged for their own actions and for the content of their own character.

Thanks, St. Paulie...you're absolutely right. I despise men (regardless of race) who victimize women or kids. If it were up to me, this lowlife's victims would get to decide his punishment.

As far as Black crime goes, whether one agrees with them are not, there are arguably legitimate justifications for minor Black crimes that are motivated by greed (personally, I'm not very sympathetic, as I believe that a kid who has a tough attitude and wants money should join the military and try to work his way up). However, no amount of slavery, Jim Crow, racial profiling, etc. can *even begin* to justify a sex crime.

St Paulie wrote:

<quoted text>Ratbro, you're totally off base here. Workaday and I don't always see eye-to-eye on every issue, but he's got nothing in common with this guy. He's not an apologist for this kind of behavior and I'm sure wants to see this guy incarcerated for a long time. Workaday is a very positive contributor to these boards and to the larger community (both white and black). I'm sure of that.

I saw Ratbro's comment just a few moments ago. To tell the truth, it made my blood boil at first....I had to calm down a bit before I responded.

Fortunately, I can take comfort in knowing that even if we don't see eye-to-eye on some issues, there are fair-minded posters like you, Too far, and St. Paulie on these boards.

Thank you. I thought the same when I saw that comment. I hope workaday doesn't see the comment, because he sure doesn't deserve a racist comment like that - and that was a racist comment.

Workaday, it's really sad and unfortunate that in this day and age you would have to read comments like that. But you're an intelligent guy (with a wonderful sense of humor, by the way) and I'm willing to bet that you're able to dismiss such ignorance. Like it or not, there are stupid people all around us. The best thing to do is just ignore them.

Workaday, my apologies also for the crappy attitude you received from our more ignorant posters. I also enjoy your writing and thank you for being a consistent civil poster.

Thanks for your kind words; I appreciate them.

On one level, it is indeed easy to dismiss the ignorance of posters like Ratbro. On another level however, especially considering the anonymity of the Internet, part of me wonders: What if Ratbro is a personnel manager and interviews a Black applicant one day? Would that applicant, no matter how qualified, have even a remote chance of receiving a job offer from Ratbro?

Or imagine being a Black motorist who gets pulled over by someone like Ratbro. What a chilling thought.

Got ur letter

Topsfield, MA

Dear Brother
If your reading this know I love you. Understand the hurt and pain you've caused, the things innocences you stole. Please explain how you protected me from rape at the hands of others explain the kango, explain the dreams you didn't go for, and how your road got skewed because of the company you kept. Then man-up and walk into the fire. Your forgiveness won't come from down here. No excuses--just Man-up.
