Well, I agree with you as to people who spread viruses. That's really malicious stuff. Ditto people who spread malware.

Like I said I'm ambivalent about the spammers. If this guy was disabling computers he deserved his sentence to Club Fed.

Of course, his family didn't deserve any of this.

This article, based on the teenage survivor’s statements, is quite a bit clearer. I’m still not clear on the actual departure from the prison. Did he convince her that he was allowed to leave for a while, so that she actually didn’t know she was “helping him escape”? Obviously, this prison is run as a no-security prison, not a minimun security prison, if prisoners are just having relatives come pick them up and drive them away.

Further confirmation that spammers are sociopaths. The fear, the suffering of others matters naught to them, and no one is innocent.

Horrible for the others caught up in the violence when he decided to kill himself.

I feel ambivalent about why he was in jail in the first place.

Spammers steal from everyone. While you can happily filter them out on your end, spam clogs bandwidth and overloads mail servers. They have to be upgraded regularly to keep up with the load.

Those costs are passed on to the subscribers. You pay for spam.

Absolutely. That is just horrible. What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

You mean you don’t need 20 different sources for Viagra??? :-))

She was forced to help him escape.

Ken Deal, chief deputy U.S. marshal in Denver, said that hours after Davidson's escape Sunday, his wife told Lakewood police he had forced her to take him to the Denver area in the SUV.

You might be right...But how does a prisoner force someone on the outside to help them escape prison, without help from someone on the outside backing up that force?

Are you sure he had not already escaped prison by himself?

[dragnet2]

Since I have not read details about the escape, I not convinced she was forced to help him escape prison, or forced to drive him away from prison in a vehicle. How would that be possible?

This was a terrible crime, and the shooter was one very disturbed/angry individual.

Even if I did, I wouldn't buy it from a spammer. The vast majority of them are scams anyway.

It's the old embarrassment scam. If someone DOES buy Viagra from a spammer, and they never get their product, their usually too embarrassed to report it.

HEre is the story from the surviving teen. It’s a work camp type prison, they came to visit, he walked out to the car with them, shoved his wife out of the way, got in and drove.

Also, the wife called the cops and told them what happened.

This is was a real scumbag.

oops! here is the link: Davidson feigned surrender before shootings

How can anyone be "forced" to help someone escape prison?

Color me perplexed.

Conspiracy theory coming up....

Perhaps he wasn't alone in his spam business and he had information that could implicate others. Those "others" "forced" his wife to help him escape. After the escape, those "others" could take care of him and his family before he could implicate them in the whole scheme. All they, the "others", had to do was to make it seem like a murder/suicide.
