THE terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal is again refusing food to protest against conditions in prison, where he is serving a life sentence, one of his lawyers said today.

The Venezuelan, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, stopped eating last Wednesday and said he will continue the strike "as long as necessary," attorney Isabelle Coutant Peyre said by telephone.

She said he is protesting against being kept in isolation, "provocative and unjustifiable" body and cell searches, and authorities' refusal to let him access his prison bank account for food and other necessities. He is imprisoned at a high-security prison in Fresnes, a southern suburb of Paris.

Hugo Chavez didn't send him enough fan mail.

Fine. Don't eat.

[ladyinred]

So let him starve! It amazes me how prisoners think prison is a country inn where they they get special treatmentment! No wonder so many want to return when they get out.

[JDoutrider]

Why are they feeding him in the first place?

[MisterRepublican]

Do the world a favor, starve to death.

[FreePaul]

Why is he alive? I'm sure that if they decided to let him out he wouldn't survive very long.

[Doctor Raoul]

Anything we can do to make him refuse air?

[Viking2002]

Starve, animal, starve. I hope his cellblock guards have filet mignon catered every night, and eat it right in front of his bars.

[Casloy]

Wow, now this is a real no-brainer. Put the food out, if he chooses not to eat it SO WHAT? Let this worm die.

Dear Carlos,

I'm not suffiently worked up over this yet, so please try beating your head on the walls also, to see if that makes me care enough about your plight.

I'll get back to you after a week or so, and let you know whether that has worked, or if you have to also add continuously hitting yourself in the cojones.

BTW, if you really want to make an impact, you should convince your lawyer to join you in this regimen.

[Zhangliqun]

Let him eat cake.

[Billthedrill]

Consider the matter for a few months and then if he's still at it, give in to him.

[dfwgator]

May I suggest he quit breathing?

[crazyhorse691]

Maybe now is the time to weld his door shut. I won't tattle.

The Jackel is a Michael Moore sized morbidly obese porcine FatBody.

This is mass murdering hystrionic commie talk for what we on earth call "a diet."

[GSlob]

"Anything we can do to make him refuse air?"
O, yes. Seal his cell airtight; he'll deplete all his oxygen pretty soon.

Again? So the maggot and his lawyers have tried this before?

[chmst]

Happy dance, happy dance, time for the happy dance. 8*)

[deaconjim]

I support his effort completely! What idiot has been giving him food anyway?

[DUMBGRUNT]

He was just in training. He is going for the record held by the late Bobby Sands.

Doesn't your heart just go out to this poor murdering scumbag??

[Radix]

"Fine. Don't eat."

Yup, he'll show us. Well, he'll show somebody!

[gg188]

authorities' refusal to let him access his prison bank account for food

Let's see...they are not letting him eat, so he says he is going on a hunger strike...hmmm?

[MortMan]

Somebody let me know when he quits breathing.

[Vigilanteman]

If he could off Hugo Chavez, I'd be for giving him steak and eggs and apple pie for breakfast every morning.

[MarkL]

Hey, since he's not eating, maybe he could "swear off" air and water too!

"Nothin's too good for him, and that's all he should get!" It pisses me off that this guy (along with Manson and certain others) are using up MY share of air!

"He is imprisoned at a high-security prison in Fresnes, a southern suburb of France"

I can sympathize...
I've heard the sand at the prison beach is that coarse, off-white granular stuff that really hurts ones' feet...
and not only that, the wine list is so abbreviated I don't believe they even offer a decent Merlot...

[Willie Green]

Why is he alive?

Because Charlie Manson needs a penpal, I suppose.

Wasn't "Carlos The Jackal: murdered in Baghdad, a few years ago? IIRC...

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Can we get him to quit life? I really strongly object to sharing the planet with him.
