Ed Geary, a spokesman for the Suffolk County sheriff's office, says Philip Markoff was declared dead by emergency medical workers at about 10:15 Sunday morning. The body was found in the Nashua Street Jail.

“I’m not clear on whether the savage attitude toward prison inmates often expressed on this website is due to an understandable frustration with crime, or just a more general desire to express hatred toward any socially acceptable target.”

I’m quite certain it’s the former. Generally it’s liberals who publicly express vitriol when they think the target is on “the safe list” - watch SNL and you’ll see what I mean.

He really did turn his life around. 100% guarantee he won’t be doing no more bad stuff ever again.

Heh...what a hell of a way to go. Used a ball point pen to put a hole in his femoral artery and jugular in the neck. Damn hard way to go. You don’t do that to yourself unless you are on drugs, or the demons have ahold of you.
