Incredible. And just what do you have to offer a normal woman? The last one to spend a lot of time (and no doubt money) on you was flipped off because she would not print all your sycophantic BS without censorship. She was trying to protect you from yourself.
As for the hunger strikes...........best laugh on the web. All this crap about affadavits and DNRs. Give us a break!
You have a lot in common with that sociopath Whittaker in TX Writing a blog constantly whinging about the situation you have both put youself in. Filing greivances for every conceivable thing and costing taxpayers millions. At least be a man and stand up, not on your knees grovelling and writing.
SAH, you also suggested rallying around "the father/motherless children...The children, brother, sisters, neices, nephews, friends...who were ALL affected..."
If you speak to anyone of these people sitting in prison for this crime and others, I would be surprised to find out if they themselves hadn't been affected by this same circle of hatred. So you're right, it is those people which need support, because when it's not forthcoming, the result is often - they become the next intake of offenders. It's this element, across the board, which needs to be addressed to affect real change for all.
I'm not sure which response you were referring to here SAH but there is no suggestion of murder in this blog post, nor is that the crime Jeremy appears to be serving time for, however, I would like to respond if Jeremy doesn’t mind us ‘chatting’ on his blog responses.
Regardless of the crime, the sensible approach, and the one receiving the least attention in the ‘problem’ of crime, seems to me to be prevention. Or if you prefer, a bottom up rather than the top down approach that is currently used. I’ve taken the time to get to know a number of people who have committed the crime you refer to, within the last few years because I want to know ‘why’ and from there, think about what to do to prevent these crimes from happening where possible. There is often a common thread here. A blog written by Harlan Richards on this site (entitled ‘Life After Murder) articulates this quite well, where he states “those in prison for murder are for the most part normal people who went wrong at some point and ended up in a tragic situation”.
I would rather see the majority of resources re-directed away from imprisoning offenders, and into strengthening communities, families, and our relationships with one another, specifically single parent families. Strengthening & building resources from the ground level whilst offering genuine treatment amongst victims and offenders together; and genuine rehabilitation programs at the other end. It makes sense to me that treating the problem rather than simply locking people away would affect a positive outcome; certainly more positive than the current system. The social security system in the USA is appalling in comparison to here in Australia and as a result of that (I believe) we have a more secure population and a much lower crime rate. We also have other contributing factors such as strict gun laws & a much less competitive society where mateship & supporting one another is a part of who we are. There is no one solution to crime anywhere, but isn’t looking at prevention rather than a cure a good place to start building.
OK, ONE MORE CLOSING THOUGHT ON THIS BLOG ARTICLE:
I just came off my second marriage and my mom (while we were at a martini lunch) told me that the NEXT ex I selected should have this criteria: See how he relates to his mother. Then you will know how he is going to relate to you. For the unfortunate ppl who lost their mother early....this could apply to the aunt, the grandma OR WHATEVER MATERNAL significance was in their life. Treat this person like GOLD. You will be rewarded.
I try to remind *my* family they only have one mother and one grandma (that is our case). Please continue to open yourself to your mother...in whatever venue it takes. You're a good and kind man that will respect and honor his mother. More men need to do that. Good Night, Sir.
I read a lot of "me, me and the me" in this post so I quickly did a google search of LaRon Philmore. His crime was quite shocking even to me. I'll be back to post his criminal history.
I'd like to kindly and respectfully say that response made no sense to me. If EVER (hopefully not) you become the victim (by self or relation) you will know that people who commit murder have and visit their crime on the families of those murdered...do these people need special attention? I'd like to see more resources used for the FAMILIES of murdered persons. That would be justice in my world. Instead of caring what an inmate pays for the "corrupt" canteen goodies - how about we rally around the father/motherless children who were robbed by a murderer? The aged, heart broken elderly parents. The children, brother, sisters, neices, nephews, friends, co-workers who were ALL affected by the INSANE act of a predator who decides to do God's job and end a life?
You've hit the nail on the head with this reply Jeremy. From an outsider looking in, the systems used to run the USA are quite terrifying from a global perspective. For us here in Australia, the specific examples America provides are so often used as 'what not to do', or 'this is what will happen if we travel down this path'. Sadly, as allies of your country we do also ride on your coat tails and assist the 'world's superpower' to defend... what exactly I'm not sure (one of my University lecturers articulates it as defending the world's opium industry) we lost 5 more Australian soldiers this week in Afganistan. The result of such extremist thinking is some of the things you describe in your post, where humanity is left out of the equation altogether. It's heartbreaking. We of course have our own problems here yet our system seems so much more fair (some say lenient) in terms of sentencing and common sense, I believe our social structure is much more affective and I'm glad it is that way. I for one will do all I can to ensure we don't go the way of the USA.
Thank you for your insightful writing La'Ron. This might sound silly, but you remind me of a really good friend I used to have as a child. We were the best of friends in Colorado. Our parent's were good friends too. I never forgot about him. Last I heard, he was in the same predicament as you. I always wondered what happened to that little boy I once knew...who was so curious and full of excitement, and had his freedom cut short by a life behind bars. I feel your pain, though I do not understand it. Though your body is encaged, your Spirit is not. Continue to find reasons to sing La'Ron. -Amber
