Hi ya Robbie, You probley don't remember me but you and I went to school together. I remeber you from Gym class and I remember you were really bad. Lol I ran into some old friends and thats how your name came up. It was mentioned that you were in prison for life for murder and I really didn't believe what I was hearing so I looked you up on the internet and I coudn't believe what I was reading. I do believe people make bad mistakes especially at a young age. So I understand you made a mistake and I really feel its unfortunate that you have to pay for that mistake with your life. At least you didn't get the death penalty! As Buddah once said" A eye for a Eye will make the whole world blind" I really feel that even though a life was taken that taking your life is just making things worse. You have a lot of potential to offer this world good and its unfortunate that the judge was not able to see that. I read a lot of your letters and it really seems that you've grown up a lot since the last time I saw you in gym class. Putting people in prison for ever dosen't solve anything! It just cost everyone too much $$$. I feel your 15 or 16 years is quite eneugh for anyone. Well exept pedophiles! They should just be shot as far as I'm concerned! I truley feel for you and the situation with your daughter. You should be out here in the world with her. These asshole judges are just destroying lives whdn they take a parent away from their kids. As for me? If you remember me? I dought it... But I'm good. I actually work as a salesperson selling cars but I'm probably gonna try and go back to school soon for nursing because The economy is really bad and I haven't seen a good paycheck for a while now and my landlord is not very understanding when it comes to being late on the rent:( Guess I'm gonna move back in with mom and dad soon.I hope things are going ok for you there. And I know that in life sometimes even though you don't look for trouble,Trouble sometimes looks for you. Remember that Misery loves company,so stay positive and keep your head up. Take care Robbie- your friend in time...Heather+J

Hi Linniell, thanks for writing. The text was a bit small in places so I hope I've managed to transcribe it correctly.
I'm sorry to hear you seem to have been going through some especially difficult times, though I wasn't sure from your blog entry exactly what had happened.
I don't think you need worry about a socialist takeover in the States. People seem very against that kind of politics over there, although sometimes they seem to use the word incorrectly. As for people turning kids gay, again, it doesn't work like that. Giving people human rights really doesn't damage anyone else, any more than allowing black people to marry those of other races did. It's all progress, of a kind.
Woody, you are factually incorrect, and incorrect in your assessment about how racism works in America. Read a direct quote from Wikipedia about the Trayvon shooting, and then I'd recommend looking up stats about who gets acquitted / convicted based on race (they do not support your argument):
"On the evening of February 26, 2012, Zimmerman observed Martin as he returned to the Twin Lakes housing community after having walked to a nearby convenience store.[56] At the time, Zimmerman was driving through the neighborhood on a personal errand.[57]
Zimmerman call to police MENU0:00 7:09:34 PM, February 26, 2012 Problems playing this file? See media help. At approximately 7:09 PM,[Note 5] Zimmerman called the Sanford police non-emergency number to report a suspicious person in the Twin Lakes community.[59] Zimmerman stated, "We've had some break-ins in my neighborhood, and there's a real suspicious guy."[3] He described an unknown male "just walking around looking about" in the rain and said, "This guy looks like he is up to no good or he is on drugs or something."[60] Zimmerman reported that the person had his hand in his waistband and was walking around looking at homes.[61] On the recording, Zimmerman is heard saying, "these assholes, they always get away."[62][63]
About two minutes into the call, Zimmerman said, "he's running".[17] The dispatcher asked, "He's running? Which way is he running?"[64] Noises on the tape at this point have been interpreted by some media outlets as the sound of a car door chime, possibly indicating Zimmerman opened his car door.[65] Zimmerman followed Martin, eventually losing sight of him.[17] The dispatcher asked Zimmerman if he was following him. When Zimmerman answered, "yeah", the dispatcher said, "We don't need you to do that." Zimmerman responded, "Okay."[66] Zimmerman asked that police call him upon their arrival so he could provide his location.[17] Zimmerman ended the call at 7:15 p.m.[17]
After Zimmerman ended his call with police, a violent encounter took place between Martin and Zimmerman, which ended when Zimmerman fatally shot Martin 70 yards (64 m) from the rear door of the townhouse where Martin was staying.[67][Note 6]"

Hey Rob...My names Mat and I went to Pennridge High School and I see that you did too. I was wondering if you knew Eric Motis? He lived a few houses up the street from me and he Murdered my neighbors back in 1990. Eric killed Mrs. Hoops her son Doug and Dan. Dan was a my neighbor and my friend. I never understood why Eric did this to these wonderful people? I know Eric was sentenced to Triple life and was housed at S.C.I. Huntingdon. In 1998 A guard who was doing the morning check found Eric hanging in his cell dead apprently from suicicde. I'm a truck driver by trade and a novice writer. I am thinking of writing a book (My First) on the Murder of the Hoops Family. I was hoping you could give me some insight on why he committed these crimes. Also and if its not to personal ? If you can give me some insight on what drives a person to kill ? I tried contacting Mr. & Mrs. Motis but they have declined comment. I would greatly appreciate your insight on Eric Motis if you personaly knew him and also your thoughts and feelings on what motivates a person to commit the Ultimate Sin ? Thank You and God Bless - Mathew Vail
