David Lee Powell: 32-years older than the last picture taken of APD Officer Ralph Albanedo
UPDATE: He’s dead.This final story had to be exceptionally difficult for the Austin (anti)American-Statesman “reporters” Chuck Lindell and Tony Plohetski to write, considering their considerable man-crush on this piece of shit murderer. I’m surprised they were able to write it through their giant crocodile tears and before rushing off to mourn with other Powell supporters.
Last Meal:
Four eggs, four chicken drumsticks, salsa, four jalapeno peppers, lettuce, tortillas, hashbrowns, garlic bread, two pork chops, white and yellow grated cheese, sliced onions and tomatoes, a pitcher of milk and a vanilla shake.
________
In 1978, David Lee Powell, heavily armed and warped out of his brains on another one of his frequent drug binges, shot Austin Police Officer Ralph Ablanedo to death with an AK-47 assault rifle.
Sitting in a car that had been pulled over on a dark Austin side street, Powell sighted his AK-47 through the rear window. Police radios caught officer Ralph Ablanedo’s scream as the first bullet penetrated his bulletproof vest. Nine more shots found their mark.
The well-liked father of two young sons died shortly after the 12:30 a.m. attack.
There is no defense at all in this story. He admits to the crime; has from the very beginning. He’s not retarded. He didn’t have poor counsel. He wasn’t under 18 years old at the time of his crime. He wasn’t from a bad family.
And yet it’s taken the state of Texas 32 years to carry out Powell’s just sentence.
But the long wait for justice ends tonight, shortly after 6:00 p.m. Huntsville Texas Time (HTT).
Media and Anti-DPer’s Love Affair with a Cop Killer
This case is garnering a ton of media and anti attention. They’re all trying to make the claim that Powell’s life should be spared and his sentence commuted to life simply because it’s taken so long and really — they swear — he’s a changed man who wouldn’t hurt a fly.
Which is utter bull shit. He murdered a cop. He’s been sentenced to death by a jury of his peers. Regardless of how long it takes, justice must be served.
Our local rag here in Austin, the (anti)American-Statesman, has taken it upon themselves to write a series (this is in today’s paper) of fawning love letters (and produced one vile-inducing video story) over this Cop killer (this link shows no less at least 10 articles about Powell).
“Journalists” Chuck Lindell and (especially) Tony Plohetski visited Powell on Death Row, where they apparently fell in love with each other as the pressed their hands together against the impersonal and harsh plexiglass — the only thing separating them from consummating their unnatural man-love for each other.
If you can stomach it, go read the story and watch the video here. If you come away thinking that Powell is the victim in this saga, that was the entire purpose of the two “journalists.”
Here’s a snippet:
Texas has never executed a man after so much time has passed, giving rise to a question that speaks to a basic concept of punishment and justice: Has Powell’s execution been robbed of its meaning and purpose?
The clean-cut 59-year-old man who will be strapped to the Huntsville gurney to receive a trio of lethal drugs is nothing like the nightmare from another era. Powell’s time in prison long ago removed the methamphetamine taint that helped turn a promising honors student into a jittery, lank-haired killer, and a fiercely loyal group of supporters insists that putting him to death now would be a travesty.
“He’s the old David Powell” — intelligent, compassionate, articulate and thoughtful — and no longer poses a danger to society, said attorney David Van Os, who befriended Powell in 1968. “This is not how the death penalty was intended to be used.”
The bolded question above (my emphasis) is Lindell and Plohetski’s thesis as well as what they genuinly believe.
A Meaningful Execution
Except that Powell’s death does have meaning and it does serve a purpose. Just ask memebers of Officer Ablanedo’s family who will be on hand to see justice finally carried out.
You would think that the two “journalists” wouldn’t have even needed to write/ask that question if they’d merely understood the responses they found and wrote about:
But for those most touched by Ablanedo’s murder, Powell’s execution remains a meaningful — and desired — goal.
Irene Ablanedo, Ralph’s sister, plans to stand at the window in the Huntsville death chamber to watch Powell die from five feet away. She will be thinking about her brother, what he meant to his family and how he was taken away too early. The pain of loss still burns.
“I can’t wait for that bastard to take his last breath,” she said. “That is what he deserves.”
For some officers, Powell’s death is a matter of fairness — an eye for an eye — that validates their service in a dangerous profession and adds a measure of protection by sending a clear message: If you kill a cop, you die.
More than 100 current and retired Austin police officers — including Ablanedo’s friends and some who weren’t even born when he died — will drive or take a chartered bus for an execution-day trip to Huntsville, which they’re calling the Journey to Justice. Those who can’t make it will toast Ablanedo in a downtown Austin bar at 6 p.m., the time set for Powell’s execution.
“It is a matter of unfinished business,” said retired police Lt. George Vanderhule, who helped Ablanedo’s widow plan his funeral. “This has gone on for 32 years, and he has managed to evade justice.”
Tonight, shortly after 6:00 p.m. HTT, David Lee Powell will finally pay for his horrific crime. And all the hand wringing and media fawning in the world won’t be enough to stop it. I’m only sorry that I won’t be around to hand Tony Plohetski a tissue so he can wipe away the tears of sadness at the passing of his Prison Boyfriend. Perhaps he can find some sympathy over with the rest of the twisted death row inmate groupies over at Prison Talk.

After 32 years it is no justice anymore,just revenge.
No, it’s not, asswipe. It’s justice. He was sentenced to die, and today he is going to. Perhaps you would like to tell those 100s of police officers who are attending the execution in Huntsville that they are merely “seeking revenge” to their faces? Or maybe you’d like to tell Officer Ablanedo’s family the same thing to their faces?
How many officers, of age, were ACTUALLY THERE in 1978? I suppose most of them would still be in nappies or not even born? What’s the point of the big “charade” for a man that’s going to die? Officer Albrenados death is not acceptable (and I am ex-Law enforcement myself). His family deserve closure. But is this “revenge” or “justice”? Most of you Police officers know no different! Being ‘on the beat’, dealing with trash everyday, is part of the job..don’t opt for it otherwise.
At least give David Powell some respect for his death. REMEMBER.. it’s not proven BEYOND REASONABLE DOUBT (our English standard of proof..as opposed to your “whatever/policy” level of proof) that David fired that last shot, from an AK47?? He had a co-offender (with suprising treatment). Matters WILL BE investigated thoroughly by “international persons” outside of Texas. Think about this.. JUSTICE means exactly that!! You cannot hide as you WILL BE EXPOSED..only a matter of time?
Steve

It’s only a charade to you, to them it is called respect and support for Ablanedo and his family.
Silly person, the latter.
I will give him at least as much respect as you are showing for our legal system, our state, our police officers and their families.
Which shot killed the officer, the first, the last or the eight in between? You don’t know what standards we use, but you criticize them anyway…pathetic.
You think we give a fuck about that?
You are a silly person. You and the other “citizens of the world” can all hold hands and sing dopey songs all you want. Texans decide how Texas will conduct its affairs.
Dumbazz from down under: Besides being convicted by three juries, he fucking admitted he shot and killed the officer. Are you calling dead David Powell a liar?
Seriously, there are plenty of other cop killers you can attach yourself to now that David Powell is now Dead David Powell. But, you really should find other more healthier ways to get sexually aroused.
The form of “justice” there in New Zealand is life in prison which translated means 10-17 years before being able to be paroled.
As a red blooded Texan, I would be outraged if someone committed a brutal capital crime and only did 10 short years.
And they would probably be on their best “behavior” locked up so they COULD get out in a decade.
Then commit some horrible crime again.
We here in Texas ensure that if you commit such dispicable crimes to our citizens..we will get rid of you so no other innocent person gets hurt.
PROUD TO BE TEXAN!!!
I don’t believe for a second the idiot from NZ was LEO.
Nor did I, anonymous.
/poseur
Yes,I would tell them right in their face.
Because your a worthless POS.
What if someone you loved was gunned down like that?
You’d be fine with it?
Bullshit.
Why do you always have to be so rude.
In the real world people can discus their differend opinions.
You were the one that said, you would tell the vicims of this horrible crime right in their face that this is revenge instead of justice…how rude is that???
How would you like someone doing that if you lost a loved one in such a brutal way?
What you said was hateful to the vicims and as a victim of a horrible crime, I felt the anger they would feel reading some bullshit like that.
I don’t think that is rude,can you tell me why this man had to stay there for so long.
I totaly agree that he was guilty,but i think that it is not normal to stay here for 32 years.
If and “IF” there was no death penalty..and my father/son/brother etc..was gunned down my a meth head psycho with an AK…I would would want him to be in little box all his life then..bread and water till insanity and death.
A monster put in a cage with only food and reading supplies can seem very docile after a number of years..it does not take the truth away that he was a murdering psycho.
32 years? That was from all the appeals and retrials…
I agree though…when it’s proven the monster did it and all the evidence is there…they should be exterminated quicker.
Why do you always have to be so rude.
Because you were rude – right out of the gate. Don’t whine when people are less than welcoming to you, thug lover.
Apparently, you have no clue as to the procedural history of the case. Yet, you feel qualified to come here and try to lecture us. Arrogance at its finest!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. Complaining it took too long to execute him is like the guy who murders his parents and then demands mercy because he is an orphan. The long delays were caused by Powell.
In the real world people can discus their differend opinions.
I’m not interested in your uninformed opinion.
I am a former prosecuting attorney and I was one of the many who believed that he did not pose any ‘future dangerouness’ one of the conditions a jury must consider when handing a death sentence as it is evidenced by his 32 years on death row he must pay for his horrible crime but given the circumstances it is not appropriate to impose the death penalty , thus I was terribly disappointed when the governor refused my recommendation to commute david lee powell’s sentence to life in prison with the possibility of parole after 40 years as based on the old texas law that applies to crimes committed before september 1st 2005
Oh, lord, you are a nut. Terribly disappointed because the governor refused your recommendation?
You’re just going to have to find another murderer to get your panties wet, what ever.
I’m not getting my panties wet and i’m surely no tug lover.
Yet, there is always a puddle at your feet…
Thanks for the answer and not making jokes about mistakes because i’m not an american,can you tell me why it took so long why the effidence was so plain.
All you have to do is look up his name on the internet and it will go into all the details of why and how it took so long for him to finally be brought to justice.
Even some of the comments on this thread explain it as well.
Do you really think that after 32 years the pain is so heavy that you need the DP for closure.
I’ve lost the one i loved dearly more than 25 years ago,in this 25 years or 32 years you move on and after a long time you still think of you’re loved one but you dont feel that heavy pain anymore.
When the family still hurts so much,which is possible,they won’t feel better now.
Maybe they need help.
What happened to that person you lost 25 years ago?
Do you really think that after 32 years the pain is so heavy that you need the DP for closure.
Who are you to tell people how they must feel? You are the one who needs help.
Plus, this isn’t about you or your feelings.
Thanks Anon, I asked what happened to see if it was a horrible crime of if he lost his grandma…
BIG DIFFERENCE.
I agree that the sentencing has nothing to do with feelings. It has everything to do with justice. The sentence was handed down after logical analysis of the facts of the case. And, no, the number of years which have passed since the perpetrator illegally chose to take the life of the victim does not water down or negate the validity or fairness of the sentencing.
Our legal system has safeguards against errors in the form of appeals. This man had three trials to ensure that no mistakes were made in assigning a just punishment. I wish it did not take 32 years for his every appeal to be exhausted, but I am glad those safeguards are in place, nevertheless.
He was shot to death
And the person that did this?
Suppose your loved one was gunned down by a drug crazed lunatic with an AK?
Time doesn’t mean sh*t.
What he did was deplorable.
Re David Powell:
Your comments deserve “exposing” to the international community. Officer Albranedo’s family deserves closure. However, there are now some “interesting” questions being raised about the “fatal” shot from an AK47..WHO fired?..Forensics..ho hum..We all know the inadequacies of “govt-paid” forensic evidence. Take a look around all your states about what’s happening. Wrong eye-witness testimony? Bullshit! Wake up to the facts of government prosecution processes and I was one of them!! Don’t smear David’s name..it’s just a way to explain why you’re a “ghoul” (in your terms a “buzzard” hovering over the dead!! Your article is not even ‘professional’. Reeks of ghoulism and disrespect for humanity. Reeks of disrespect in many ways. Think about if your “conscience” worries you in your sleep. Who knows, maybe your own justice system could deal you a bad blow in the future? How would you react to that?
Wow.
You’re nuts.
The Texans are happy with what they have done, and so is a bunch of other people.
They don’t need the Europeans or the Islanders jumping all over them, claiming it to be ‘revenge’ and ‘savagery’ and all other stupid crap.
Oh, and about the fatal shot – try getting shot with an AK-47 in the chest a bunch of times, and you tell me which wound was fatal.
-Sad
David Powell was a prick and a coward. Now he is a dead prick and a coward.
This disgusting POS is just repeating another failed defense meme. These a-holes, just like dead david powell, have no compunctions against framing an innocent person for the murder. Antis are amoral a-holes.
Did have a trial,isnt of sain heatlh,has 12 years of prison,and tbs
And killing him won’t bring my loved one back,but i’m happy he won’t be walking around anymore.
But didn’t you say the murderer only received a 12-year prison sentence? Since your loved one was murdered 25 years ago, do you mean the murderer still has 12 more years to serve before he or she is walking around free once again?
My apologies, but the sentencing is a bit unclear to me and I am just trying to understand.
Also, I just wanted to point out that keeping the murderer in prison for 12 years will not bring your loved one back either, but at least by executing the murderer some other poor innocent victim may very well be spared in the future.
Hello tracy.
Tbs meand that he is not walking the streets but the goverment will tell when he is no danger anymore.
I think you will call it lwop
Thanks for the clarification. Just curious, but what was the 25 years’ part of the sentencing?
Oops! Meant: What was the 12 years part of the sentencing (not 25 years . . . ). Sorry!
but at least by executing the murderer some other poor innocent victim may very well be spared in the future.
AND thank you Tracy..that was my point all along…
This “she” comes on here and says “she” would get in the face of the victim and call it revenge, not justice..that is hateful to the victim.
And the “it won’t bring my loved one back”…well..we here that all the time…
We will have to agree to disagree.
That is NOT what I think about when they off a child killer or a rapist/murder..I think, “Thank God that monster is gone and can’t hurt anyone ever again.
In “her” eyes…after 12 years..one of these monsters could be let loose because the “goverment will tell when he is no danger anymore”…
Anyone put in a cage can “act with good behavior” but to commit horrid crimes and “act civil” under constant surveillence is VERY DIFFERENT from being let go back into the world with innocent victims waiting to be hurt again.
OH, and the 12 years Tracy…that is what they call “life” there.
As in New Zealand for example..when they get “life” it is actually a sentence of 10 to 17 years at which time the “powers that be” determine if the child rapist/murderer (for an example) has been a model prisoner and is capable in “their” eyes to re-enter the world..
Thank God I’m from Texas.
If she gets in the face of a family member of a victim and insults them that way, she has a good chance of getting clocked. And no prosecutor will file charges…because no jury will convict.
I agree.
I know I would.
The AAS and the Dallas News have really made asses of themselves this time around. Their masturbatory frenzy over Powell makes me want to puke.
And i’m not a he,i’m a she.
Sorry,i don’t understand what you mean by the 12 years part of the sentencing.
You had mentioned that the perpetrator had 12 years of prison and tbs:
Since I didn’t know what tbs was, you explained it here:
However, if tbs means that the perpetrator is not walking the streets, then that is essentially the same as serving additional prison time, right? I am trying to determine the difference between tbs and the 12-year prison sentence that you said the perpetrator was given. I am assuming that the perpetrator is supposed to serve 12 years of minimal prison time before he becomes eligible for parole?
Amarius,i’m not insulting a family member of the victim.
And also in my country he will be there as long as he lives.
But we just not kill him,because he is sick in his head.
Oh really? Then what was this comment?
Yes,I would tell them right in their face.
Posted by What ever | June 17, 2010, 6:39 am
Sounds aggressive to me.
And you stated above that the murderer will stay there until the “government deems him no threat”..and here you are saying as long as he lives?
You are making no sense and contradicting yourself repeatedly so I digress here.
Amarius,i don’t want to be aggressive at all,i just don’t think after 32 years it will give a closure.
Also in my country we know if somebody is a real threat to the free world.
We are not that retarted,
By all accounts you and your country are imbeciles.
The ability to determine whether a violent offender will ever repeat his or her actions is faulty, at best. Any perpetrator with a minimal level of intelligence knows how to provide what he or she knows to be the “correct” answers — and I agree with Amarius that it is not difficult to demonstrate socially-acceptable behaviors in an environment where freedom is severely limited. This is a point that I have often made myself.
I do not trust anyone’s opinion when it comes to determining whether or not a proven murderer will re-offend. Even if the authorities were actually able to be correct in their assessments 99% of the time, that 1% where they are wrong and the perpetrator re-offends is 100% too much for me. Any new blood from an innocent victim spilled by the hand of a proven murderer is blood that stains the hands of any collective society that supports such leniency.
But we just not kill him,because he is sick in his head.
Defendants who do not know the difference between right and wrong due to mental illness at the time of the commission of the crime, are not executed.
Thanks for once again proving that you don’t know your ass from your head.
Yes you do.and once again,we have a discussion,so there is no need for being rude.
Fuck you. Once again you are rude and then whine if some one is rude back to you. Are you so dense that you don’t even know when you are offensive?
And, no we don’t. But thanks for once again demonstrating that you know nothing.
“I won’t be around to hand Tony Plohetski a tissue so he can wipe away the tears of sadness at the passing of his Prison Boyfriend.”
I don’t think that’s what he is going to need tissue for. ;D
For the record, Powell was taken to the ER 12 hours after the shoot out. He denied having taken drugs recently. So, he was not under the influence of drugs at the time he committed the murder.
So that means he was thinking when he killed Ablanedo?
Oh God…
Yeah. He was thinking that if he got caught with the amount of meth and the illegal weapons he had, he would be spending a very long time in prison. So, he decided to fight his way out.
Damn right…
The fact that it took three trials and numerous appeals to get to this point is more than enough proof that his execution is justified.
The fact that he murdered a policeman removes any legitimate claim by the hand wringers that he should be spared.
He was committing numerous felonies when he committed this murder. Had he not murdered officer Ablanedo, he would have served time and then been allowed to live his life as a convicted felon and the old David Powell — intelligent, compassionate, articulate and thoughtful.
God may have mercy on his soul, not me. His execution is long overdue and 6p.m. can’t get here soon enough.
My only regret is, an innocent chicken may be sacrificed to feed this criminal before his journey to the ninth circle of hell.
I couldn’t agree more..
I just told my husband about this and his brother is an officer in another state…
He adamantly agreed that justice is long over due.
Our hearts go out to the family and officers…I’m glad the family will have support to combat the antis staging their protest…
Talk about no compassion for the true victims.
Yes and thanks for reminding me, I was caught up in the moment.
My sincerest best wishes to the family of Officer Ablanedo and his fellow officers.
May justice assuage some of the grief and pain this murderer made you suffer.
That chicken statement was a side splitter though..lol…
A lot of the delays in these cases are due to changes (twice!)in the interpretation of the law regarding mitigation by the USSC requiring new sentencing trials, specifically Penry I and Penry II. One Texas jurist described it as: “a dog’s breakfast of divided, conflicting, and ever-changing analyses.”
[Penry is the creep that got his sentence reduced to life by pretending he was mentally retarded and then laughed and bragged about doing so when it was over.]
Another big change in the law by the USSC was Crawford v. Washington regarding the confrontation clause, which required new trials.
I can’t stand that tard card BS.
I wanted to provide a link for anyone who wishes to see the photo of Officer Ralph Ablanedo. He was a very handsome and noble officer/husband/son/father/young man.
It is a true shame that photos of the victims are not more readily available. It is important not to allow the public’s memory of the victims in murder cases to evaporate with the passage of time. I think victims’ photos should remain front and center to remind us whose rights were so viciously violated. A victim’s rights may have been violated, but they are never terminated — no matter how long ago their lives were stolen from them.
I couldn’t understand why your comment went to spam, so I freed it.
Then I discovered it was a bad link.
You still have it handy?
IMOH, his photo should be in this blog post, not the murderers.
See if this works:
http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=pv&GRid=17737861&PIpi=18950037
Yes, I whole-heartedly agree. It should be Officer Ablanedo’s photo featured prominently on this thread. His killer’s photo should be featured as an after-thought. This is a great article honoring Officer Ablanedo though! (Robbie, please don’t take this as a harsh criticism because it is not meant to be — just a passionate opinion and observation.)
Well, I tried to provide a link to the Find-a-Grave website that features an absolutely wonderful photo of the victim, Officer Ralph Ablanedo, but, sadly, my post is not appearing.
I think it is important for the public to always have a face to associate with each and every murder, in order to maintain perspective on whose rights have truly been violated.
My sincerest condolences to Officer Ablanedo’s family, friends, and fellow officers. May he rest in peace.
Ah, now my post shows up. Sorry for the double post.
If you can find the photo again, click on it, copy the url, go to imageshack, click on the url button, paste the photo’s url into the blank, hit upload, then copy and insert the direct link here.
I would really like to see it.
Never mind, I found the web page with his photo and bio.
God Rest Him.
Uploaded with ImageShack.us
I have tried to follow your suggestion, but the ImageShack website is not recognizing the link either. How odd.
Please try this:
Go to http://www.findagrave.com.
Click on “Search 47 million grave records” on the right-hand side of the screen.
Under name, type in: Ralph Ablanedo in the proper fields.
There are two possibilities that pop up. Both are dedicated to Officer Ablanedo. However, the second one (Ablanedo, Ralph Allen) has more pictures (one of him and two of his grave site).
Could you upload his photo from there and post it?
Thanks! Sorry I could not get it to upload directly to my post.
Tracy, the spam filter snagged you again, why I don’t know.
I wish it would be so touchy when the raving anti-dp crowd shows up with their blather.
My brother in-law and father in-law are policemen, but I could not care less if it is a cop or not. This POS took a life. He decided when this human life ended. How dare he and how dare they act as if he should not pay his debt.
Now I am ready for all the euroweenies to start crying about how I just want revenge. Fuck off… revenge is not what I am after, I want justice. We are either a nation of laws, or we are not. This asswipe has been given due process and has been found guilty by a jury of his peers. 32 years is a long time to hold off on paying a debt. Try to skip out on your mortgage for 32 years.
Being a Texan(i.e. illiterate redneck racist hick), I am owed a debt to be paid by this butt pirate. I am ready to collect. Not revenge, payment for actions.
I will be there tonight, as always, and I will stand tall knowing my great state of Texas will once again uphold the will of the people. I look forward to the anti’s and any confrontation that may occur. It is time all Texans stand up and say a collective “FUCK YOU” to all who wish to circumvent OUR laws.
GOD BLESS TEXAS!!
Thanks for being there, D-Mac.
My spirit will be standing next to you, if you feel something bump up against you.
AMEN TEXAS BROTHER!!
I am with you as well!!!
Hi D-MAC,
I’m not trying to circumvent your laws in any way. I’m just trying to convince Texan voters to think twice about this legal murder. You don’t kill people, except under immediate threat. You don’t, a state or country shouldn’t. Life without parole! I don’t have a clue why you fierce Texans (and other states/countries) are so determined to kill somebody. Ok, the other one did, but we are bigger then those lowlives, are we? Yes we are. We want to punish and we want to protect. I say: lwp in an supermax facility. Even if you pay good money to the staff, in the end it’s going to be cheaper then the death penalty.
But i guess our point-of-view is just different here in western Europe.
And for the good old bible purists: you shall not kill. It’s that simple.
Regards,
Willem
Oh, great. More recycled idiotic anti arguments.
Claiming that you want people to think about it is arrogant and offensive because you assume that because they don’t agree with you that they haven’t. And no, it does not cost more. Try doing some actual research instead of copying and pasting what the AI claims. And no you don’t want to protect people.
Also, Powell is not eligible for lwop. Why do you think you have the right to give your opinions when you are so clueless? And no you can’t just sentence everyone to supermax. I find it really really irritating when people propose what they think are solutions that are impossibilities. Obviously, you are the one who needs to give some damn thought to it and not Texas.
Hi Anon,
Of course you want to protect people from ever being hurt by this monster again. So you put him away. What do you mean by not eligible for lwop? He can get the death penalty for what he did but not lwop? That’s why you should change your laws! And that’s why i’m addressing you. And of course you can send everybody who now is on death row and everybody who would have been in the future to this ‘supermax’. It’s the same prison as death-row, but just a row, no death
Of course most of the victim’s family would want the offender dead (although not all of them). They would probably like to do it themself. I would, if one should hurt my family. But we’re talking about government killing people here. That can’t be right. Justice needs to be served, but this is no justice, it’s legal murder.
Justice is lwop. What is your problem with that kind of measures?
Regards from a EuroWeenie
WilleM
We can keep him from hurting anyone ever again by executing him. He’s not eligible for lwop. You can’t change the law. The sentence was either death or life. You cannot sentence an inmate under a law that did not exist at the time he committed his crime. Plus, lwop would be an increase of his sentence and against the ex post facto clause of the US Constitution.
No, you can’t send everyone to supermax or SHU. Inmates are classified by the length of their sentences and then other aggravating factors. Murderers are not singled out for special restrictions. They can move freely and can be housed with forgers or in dormitories. Prison is a very violent place and there are numerous opportunities for a murderer to continue his violent lifestyle and they routinely do so. You can have an inmate be no problems for 20 years and then viciously rape and murder a prison nurse. The people of the state of Texas overwhelmingly support capital punishment. Who are you to impose your views on them? You don’t have a clue what you are talking about so why don’t you just be quiet.
lwp in a supermax…
They are on lock down right now…23 hours a day…they go insane…if your idea was a viable option, you’d have all the violent horrid criminals on lockdown their entire lives causing them to go completely insane.
All the while, we are feeding them, clothing them, handling their mail, supervising their visits, allowing them to marry…
The victim never had that right..to live (in insanity no less but still live)
So neither should the perp.
Bullshit.
If that were the case you wouldn’t make up terms to suit your agenda.
Murder : Intentional homicide (the taking of another person’s life), without legal justification or provocation.
Capital punishment : The lawful infliction of death as a punishment; the death penalty.
You say bullshit.
Those are federal facilities, not available for use by state criminal courts.
Without a doubt they are. I don’t know of any Dutch National cemeteries honoring their fallen for freeing us from tyranny in this country, but we have a huge one honoring our fallen fighting to free your country.
We also don’t legalize drugs, euthansia or prostitution.
Bullshit.
It’s “thou shalt not murder.”
You have shown no scholarship in legal matters or terms, our state and federal laws, history or cultural differences.
You have indicated significant scholarship in the field of Bullshit, though.
At least you have that going for you.
That link of our fallen brave men…that fought to free “their” country…overwhelming…the emotions one gets seeing how huge that place is and it is only one of SO many all over UpUrsEurope.
Yes Willem,
Before you bash Texas or America in any way or the way we handle the filth that commits horrible crimes…take a look at that link.
And shut your worthless mouth.
Wow…. Willem… you have completely changed my mind on the death penalty. I have been enlightened by a western european point of view. How stupid we are for implementing the death penalty. Thank you so much for correcting our misguided ways. You are my hero!
Do you reguire any more smoke blown up your ass, or does your gay boyfriend do enough of that on his own. Fuck you, you are a complete piece of shit for trying to tell me and others how we should conduct business here.
I have been to your part of the world, many times, and let me say… you are not a better class of people than us. You think you are, and for some strange reason you continue to act as if you are. Truth is, I wouldn’t want to live in your depressing, stench filled, drug using, prostitute fucking, piece of shit environment. I for one wish to protect the traditional values that have been a cornerstone of my village.
The next time yo decide to come in here and act all high and mighty, think about this… a piece of shit was coming out the ass of your lover. Your culture would film it and jerk off to it. My culture would laugh our asses off and then make money off of it by selling it to the rest of your euroweenie friends.
Now fuck off, get out of my business, pull the condom out of your boyfriends ass, have some tea, and think about how great you really are not.
And yes… it was a great evening last night. Especially when I got to hold high my Texas flag and and heckle all the libtards singing kumbaya. Very proud of my state, very proud of my culture, very proud of the officers that where there, very proud of my governor, and very proud of all those who stand behind my point of view.
GOD BLESS TEXAS!!

D-MAC I just have to tell you that you really have a way with words. You make me wish I lived in Texas. I hope you continue to go to Huntsville and stand for the victims and their families.
It is often very difficult to find photos of the victims, especially on older cases. If you’re lucky, the media will dig through their old archives and pull one out or interview family members and obtain one through them. But, I could not find photos or even bios for the two victims in the George Jones’ case.

My condolences to the family and friends of officer Ablanedo.
I can’t be at the bar for a toast with the others, but I’ll be there
in spirit. Heck, I might start toasting right now.
Innocent chicken, now I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there!
Condolences to the officer’s family and friends. This one was a long time in coming, and a shining example about how justice delayed is not necessarily justice denied.
Oh, and for Mr. Powell….adios, F*CKER!!!!!
And, as a side note;
Just the fact that the SOB cost the tax payers an untold huge sum of money that went to laywers is justification for the death penalty, whether he’s guilty or not.
Hmmmm, I see Fried Chicken, fried okra, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, 5 rolls, 7 cokes and a slice of chocolate cake being eaten…right.about.now.

“He spent decades trying to frame his girlfriend for the murder.”
As I understand it, there were bullet fragments recovered from the scene of the murder, which could not be ballistically linked to the AK47. The 7.62×39 will shed it’s jacket and break up when fired through a car body, these pieces will not contain enough data to satify the requirements to link them to a specific weapon.
Because the fragments could not be linked, they were not entered into evidence in 1978.
Defense attorneys in the 1999 rehash of the punishment phase* hoped to use these fragments, “withheld by the prosecution”, to suggest there might have been another firearm in use during the shooting, which could only have been wielded by Sheila—nobody else there, you know.
A dirty low blow to Sheila, designed to enter a desperate measure of “reasonable doubt” and negate the whole trial.
Because the prosecution “withheld” evidence, you see.
Forensic testing of these fragments could not be completed in time, so the lawers took another tack…which was rejected.
Nevertheless, the story on the internet now includes a “Sheila did it” version, thanks to idiots on the moratorium sites.
The AAS reporters actually traced her down and called her for their story.
She hung up on them.
Good for you , Sheila.
[The comments of someone who lived with him left on off2dr]
A few facts.
On the night of the murder, David was returning from a meth lab somewhere south of Austin, with his usual big bag of methamphetamine—he was a meth wholesaler, supplying 2nd tier dealers.
He had his AK47 and handgrenades with him, because they were part of his “movie”, not because of some Meth-psychosis paranoia.
He wasn’t the kind of user with “speed bugs”, open sores, missing teeth—and raving hallucinations.
He was instead, a long term moderation user—-from 1973 when I met him, through to his arrest.
[Ripped from the comments of someone who knew him at the time of the murder.]
The hot check thing—
David wrote hot checks for sport, it was a little like counting coup and fed some kind of deep seated need he had.
I watched him get up inside the manager of an Austin stereo store which had a big “NO CHECKS” sign on the wall and bend that man into taking hot paper for 80% of a very expensive amplifier.
All kidding aside, he did something to the guy.
He was convinced that this ability could be used on police officers during traffic stops—and 50% of the time he was right.
[Ripped from the comments of someone who knew him at the time of the murder.]
“For example when the offender is old and most likely not a threat to anyone?”
I am three weeks younger than David and just as capable of violence as I ever was.
So is he.
So are you.
Don’t kid yourself.
[Ripped from the comments of someone who knew him at the time of the murder.]
Yes, putting someone in a cage can create a docile creature but still a creature none the less…a creature that would have killed again and kept using meth and hurting authority…
David was a fan of the Bader-Meinhof Group—the German revolutionary/criminal outfit famous for bank heists, hiding in plain sight and outwitting the Bundespolizei at every turn. (Almost every turn.)
After conviction, David went to the Rusk hospital unit of the Texas prison system for “evaluation”. This is mentioned at the letdavidlive website, but the next part isn’t—–
At the same time Girlfriend #2, using a false name, got a job inside the unit in best Bader/Meinhof style. The plan was to break David out, with the help of a motorcycle club and spirit themselves to a Carribean island without extradition. The plan foundered—I don’t know why.
Years later while helping this woman move out of her house and a life including contact with David, I swiped a bag of garbage and found her Rusk ID badge and research paperwork inside.
But he’s just an innocent country boy, led astray, temporarily, by meth…
[Ripped from the comments of someone who knew him at the time of the murder. ]
But he’s just an innocent country boy, led astray…
Man..execution watch.org is kissing his ass right now..
How revolting.
In the video from the Austin American Stateman page, David says: “It wasn’t like I had a life of antisocial acting out which culminated in the murder of Officer Ablaneda”.
In previous posts, I tried to demonstrate this statement to be untrue—more or less successfully.
Here’s another bit—
1.In the woods after the murder and gunfight, David hung the bag containing $5000 worth of Methamphetamine in a tree. Preparatory to sending someone back for it, directed by him after arrest, I guarantee. (The Boy Scout search team found it first.)
2.He surrendered to a security guard at the High School on Oltorf street—because he could be sure the security guard would not shoot him on sight.
So in the supposed grip of “meth psychosis”, he shows planning and realistic apprehension of his situation.
Just as he does in this video.
He sounds scared—but is playing to the moratorium audience.
The little catch in his voice—if he wasn’t lying about his life and repeating lines from the letdavidlive website, it would almost be believable.
“I still have something to contribute to this life.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH…
[Ripped from the comments of someone who knew him at the time of the murder.]
Yea..worm food.
HE’S DEAD, JIM…
so where do you get your info? I am listening to executionwatch.org and they still haven’t said the witnesses have come out…I need more up-to-the-minute stuff!
I was listening too! I heard crying and depression around the time that it usually happens which lead me to believe it was done…
Last meal..
four eggs, four chicken drumsticks, salsa, four jalapeno peppers, lettuce, tortillas, hashbrowns, garlic bread, two pork chops, white and yellow grated cheese, sliced onions and tomatoes, a pitcher of milk and a vanilla shake.
That poor chicken AND her babies! How ruthless!!!
He sure likes the number 4 doesn’t he? Or didn’t he to be more exact…
It’s all over the news now. Sounds like he went away pissed off…
Where do you see that? How was he pissed???
Good.
He’s not only dead, Jim…his brain is missing!
Asked by a warden if he had a final statement, Powell gave no response.
Really?! I’m so surprised with all his blather about how terrible he felt..
What a joke.
Here’s a good joke.
The number four hit song of 1978, a song David may have been boogeying to on the radio was:
LMFAO!! That was AWESOME! Thank you!!
I’m sitting here having a big ass T-bone steak bouncing to that song!
haha!
Perfect!
(See I can eat steak and listen to Stayin Alive because I’m not a murdering POS…you know…fun stuff)
Taken from Hayley..loved that comment!
LOL!
Well, then by all means boogey down.
Life is a good thing.
Austin cop killer David Lee Powell was put to death in a Huntsville prison Tuesday night. For the family of the victim, officer Ralph Ablanedo, the execution is about relief.
Austin officers who worked alongside Ralph Ablanedo, and even some who never met him, boarded buses and motorcycles Tuesday morning to make the trip to Huntsville.
“We’re here to show support for the family in his journey to justice,” one officer said.
Also going, Sam Cox of 590 KLBJ AM. Cox was Ablanedo’s supervisor on May 18, 1978 when David Lee Powell gunned down the 26-year-old Ablanedo on a traffic stop in South Austin.
“He was literally executed. We’re talking about shot ten times. He shot him, he went down, and when Ralph tried to get up, he shot him again. Ralph didn’t have a chance,” said Cox.
Cox was captured in a photo shown in the Austin American-Statesman the next day escorting a handcuffed Powell.
“I asked him, ‘Why did you kill my cop? Why did you have to do that?’ He never said a word,” said Cox.
Ablanedo’s good friend, Bruce Mills, was the first officer on the scene.
“We were able to get him into the ambulance and get him to the hospital, and they weren’t able to save him,” said Mills.
Mills later married Ablanedo’s widow, Judy, and raised his two sons. David was 18 months and Steve was five years old at the time of the shooting.
“I would’ve rather [the boys] had their real father. I would have still known him because we were friends and I would’ve had another family. That’s how I look at it,” said Mills.
Now grown men, they along with their mother, Mills, Ablanedo’s mom, sister, and brother watched Powell take his last breath.
“It’s relief. That’s probably the best adjective,” said Mills.
It’s been a long, painful 32 years. The family has re-lived the crime three times for trials as Powell appealed his death sentence.
I try to re-assure Judy or his mom, ‘Look, this is all. It’s falling together now. It’s finally going to come to an end. It’s gonna finally be over with.’”
I didnt’ know that about Sam..my heart goes out to him as well…
on ne règle rien en endeuillant une seconde famille
Being illiterate in one language doesn’t make you smarter in another.
And in English…..one not rule anything while plunging into mourning a second family
Oh yes we do…
Like it states above…
RELIEF that the murdering bastard if finally worm food.
I meant IS finally worm food…
He MADE that choice by murdering one of our officers…
The next execution is on July 1 – Michael James Perry but there is no online chatter about it by the antis. I hope a stay isn’t in the works.
Perry, haven’t we had a thread on him before?
I don’t think so. This is jugears first date: http://www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/perrymichael.htm
I think you are right, but Robbie may have mentioned it in another thread, as Perry’s murders were in his home town.
OH, that’s right..3 victims…
He has a website..savemichaelperry…where he goes into the terrible life he had…
Like so many others…
That don’t murder people.
http://www.oag.state.tx.us/oagnews/release.php?id=3367
Bet he’s freaking now.
He is probably just being belligerent.
Some people are just no damn good.
Mr. Perry is proclaiming his innocence. Do a search for his name online; there you will find out all about how Perry was beaten by police, arrested without any evidence and so on. Nothing mentions his abilities of being clairvoyant, so it’s difficult to know how he explains the fact that he knew where to tell police to look for the bodies of Adam Stotler and Jeremy Richardson.
What a pathetic little shit.
Whoops! Forgot Jonathan Marcus Green on 6/30/2010.
Green, now there is a disgusting specimen. Rapes/murders a little girl, buries her, then digs her up and hides her behind a chair.
What a sick and twisted mind.
Expect much wailing and gnashing of teeth from the anti-dp crowd on this one, he seems to have quite a following.
Well of course! He’s playing the tard card…and the anti-dp crowd loves to jump all over that.
It’s amazing how many violent criminals claim to be retarded.
Child killers…they should be set on a slow burning fire.
I say they get tortured every Friday night on Pay-Per-View. Slow, paper-cut torture, pulling out nails and such…Maybe after a few weeks we finally kill them. Case in point: Michele Huckaby who recently raped and murdered little Sandra Cantu in California. The DP is too good for her (although the ugly bitch got life anyway). I’d love to kill this bitch myself.
Ehh…
You think people actually go out to see that?
Even if they’re killers and deserve to die, at least make it a bit more humane.
How does impalement and set to flames sound?
The little weasel finally poked his head out:
Conroe man facing execution asks for reprieve – Attorneys say new evidence can clear inmate
“Attorneys for Michael Perry, 28, filed paperwork this week, asking the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles to recommend to Gov. Rick Perry that he grant a 180-day delay or a commutation of their client’s sentence.”
The jury heard all the evidence regarding the time of death. There is no new evidence.
He’s been partying for 9 years with his scumpals, groupies, and scumgirlfriends. Time for the party to end…
I’m surprised he didn’t wait until the last few days to file.
He must really be getting nervous.
In other news, one of my daughters’ boss is a proud TAMU grad and has been active in their club in Austin since he graduated. His club started a TAMU scholarship fund for the children of Officer Ablanedo not long after he was gunned down by Satan’s chew toy, Powell. At least one of the sons took advantage of the scholarship and attended TAMU.
I’m sure there is a writ coming down the pike that claims new evidence, too.
One of his kids works as a 911 dispatcher in Boston. I’m not sure what the other does.
Rodney Reed violently raped women including a 12 year old. This is an account of only one of his many rapes and assaults. It is probably how he assaulted, raped and murdered Stacey Stites. The defense and the media have done an excellent job of covering up for this murdering raping thug. Meet the real Rodney Reed:
On November 9, 1996, at approximately 3:30 a.m., Linda Schlueter drove from Austin to Bastrop, Texas to meet some friends. Linda was 19 years old, with long dark hair, like Stacey Stites. 62 RR 12, 108. When her friends were not at a four-way stop that was their meeting place, Linda went to a nearby store to use the pay phone, but it was broken. Linda then went to the Long’s Star Mart to use the pay phone. 62 RR 40-41. Linda was able to drive up to the pay phones and call her friends from inside of her car. 62 RR 43. They agreed to meet her back at the four-way stop. While Linda was on the telephone, a tall African American man who she did not know walked up to her car and startled her. 62 RR 44-45. The man asked Linda if she could give him a ride to his house, but she refused. 62 RR 45. Nevertheless, the man persisted in asking Linda for a ride until she relented. 62 RR 46-47. The man got in Linda’s car and told her to just go a short way down Main Street. However, as Linda drove, the man continued to direct her further out of town until they reached a dirt road that he wanted her to drive down. 62 RR 48-49. When they got to the dirt road, Linda refused to go down it, although the man persisted in asking her to do so. Finally, he asked her to turn around and drop him further up the road from where they had come, which she did. 62 RR 50-51. As the man was getting out of Linda’s car, he asked her for a “hug.” When she refused, he grabbed her hair and slammed her head into the dashboard. 62 RR 51. Linda began screaming and tried to get out of the car while the man grabbed her hair, hit her, and tried to keep her in the car. 62 RR 52. The lap belt and shoulder belt of Linda’s seatbelt were not connected. She had not re-fastened the lap belt when she had previously gotten out of the car to use the pay phone. Thus, when the door was open, the shoulder portion of her seatbelt released her, which allowed her to fight back and, ultimately, get out of the car. 62 RR 42, 52-53. When Linda got out of the car, she was not able to get free because the man still had her by her hair and was repeatedly hitting her. 62 RR 54. Eventually, he dragged her back into the car. She then tried to escape by putting the car in “drive,” but the man put his foot on the brake and slammed her head into the passenger seat. 62 RR 55. Linda again got out of the car, but the man again had her hair, so he jumped out with her and got her back in the car. 62 RR 56. At this point, the man was in the driver’s seat and began driving off. Linda then jumped out again and was dragged alongside the car, because he still had her by the hair. 62 RR 58. As he tried to put Linda back in the car, she asked him “What do you want?” The man responded, “I want a blow job.” Linda responded, “You will have to kill me before you get anything” and the man said, “I guess I’ll have to kill you then.” 62 RR 60. Linda then began to scream and tried to get underneath her car. The man grabbed her and began choking her from behind, which allowed him to get her back in the car again. 62 RR 61-62. As they continued to struggle inside of the car, Linda saw the headlights of an oncoming car. 62 RR 62. The man then let go of her, which allowed her to jump out of the car. He then drove off in her car. 62 RR 63.
Linda tried to get help from the people in the car that had driven up, but they drove off and left her in the road. 62 RR 64-65. She ultimately ran to several houses for help until someone let her use their telephone to call the police. 62 RR 66-68.
The first officer to arrive at the scene was Kellae Miller of the Bastrop Police Department. She arrived at 3:42 a.m. and observed Linda to be extremely hysterical and in total disarray. 62 RR 12-13. She observed that large clumps of Linda’s hair were falling out and she had a large, swollen knot on her neck, and scraped, bloody knees. 62 RR 25, 63 RR 46. Linda told Officer Miller that the man who attacked her was a black male, six feet tall, average build with close-cut hair and that he was wearing blue jeans, tennis shoes, and a white windbreaker jacket with multi-colored stripes. Officer Miller knew Reed prior to November 9, 1996. 62 RR 25. Officer Miller saw Reed at the payphones of Long’s Star Mart between 3:10 and 3:15 a.m. on November 9, 1996. 62 RR 26, 34 63 RR 51. He was wearing blue jeans and a white windbreaker jacket with diagonal multi-colored stripes. 62 RR 33-34, 63 RR 51-52.
On November 13, 1996, Linda picked Reed out of a six person photographic lineup. 62 RR 76-78, 63 RR 19. On that day she was observed to have bruises on her neck, clumps of hair missing from her head, and her hands were scratched and bruised. 63 RR 22.
Linda’s car was found by law enforcement the next morning near the intersection of Fayette Street and Farm Street in Bastrop, which is two or three blocks from Reed’s grandmother’s home. 63 RR 10, 12.
What a nightmare.
This also makes me sick:
Linda tried to get help from the people in the car that had driven up, but they drove off and left her in the road. 62 RR 64-65. She ultimately ran to several houses for help until someone let her use their telephone to call the police. 62 RR 66-68.
How can people be so callous and self-interested to decline help to a terrified woman (or anyone else, for that matter) who is desperately begging for assistance? After the people in the car drove off and abandoned her, Reed could have come back and killed her while she was scrambling around, unprotected and vulnerable, seeking shelter and aid. For people to say they just don’t want to get involved and to justify leaving a victim at the mercy of his or her attacker is inexcusable. I understand fearing for your own safety, but I cannot imagine witnessing the look of terror on someone’s face and just deciding to pass them by and leave them at the mercy of the merciless.
My parents had always emphasized that I should never allow a stranger inside my car. This was advice I have always followed, with one exception. When I was 20 years old and on my way back to my hometown in the Texas Panhandle one day, I spotted a car with its hazard lights blinking as it idled along the shoulder of the highway. Intuition told me to slow down and, as I slowly passed, I saw the tear-streaked, terror-stricken face of a young woman. I knew in that moment that there was no way that I could continue down the road and leave her alone in her plight. I set aside my fears for my own safety because I knew that if anything happened to her as a result of her being left alone in such a vulnerable position I would never forgive myself. I circled back around on the highway and, as I pulled up alongside her and she saw my face, her relief was palpable. She had been alone on the highway for about two to three hours, attempting to idle her broken-down car to the next tiny town. She had been heckled several times by a car full of men who had come by a few times and she was beside herself with terror that they would return. We shared the same name (different spellings) and she was just a few years older than me. I never thought that taking her to a safe place was an inconvenience or was even something to be considered as a good deed — I just considered the opportunity to help a fellow human being in distress to be a privilege and an honor. I have always that most people would feel the same.
Last sentence should read: I have always thought that most people would feel the same.
This is the cliff notes version. There is no doubt that Reed violently raped and beat these women and the 12 year old girl:
1987- Broke into woman’s apt., beat, raped, sodomized, and forced her to orally cop him. He was arrested, tried and acquitted. His defense was that it was consensual — the same defense he is using in the capital case. How he got acquitted I don’t know. He broke in and he beat her up.
However, the rape still came in during the penalty trial. The trial was delayed until 1991 and during that time, Reed was out on bail still raping and assaulting women.
1989 – 12 year old home alone, when a man breaks in and puts something over her face so she can’t see her attacker. He threatens to kill her. He beats her, rapes her, sodomize her, forces her to orally copulate him. She accidentally bit him and he savagely beats her and rapes her again. DNA test on the semen matched Reed but not until after he murdered Stites.
1988-1991- Beat and raped his girlfriend and mother of his two children repeatedly, including in the presense of their two small children.
1995- woman walking home near RR tracks when attacked and raped. Semen DNA matched to Reed after the Stites murder.
1995- Reed dating mildly retarded woman. Her case worker noticed she was bruised. Woman told her Reed would pinch and beat her if she did not have sex with him. Shortly thereafter, Reed beat her and forcefully sodomized her and put a pillow over her face. The next day, her case worker saw that she was in pain and upset and took her to the police. Semen matched by DNA to Reed. Woman afraid of Reed and refused to testify.
1996 – Kidnapping, violent assault, attempted murder, and attempted rape on Schleuter who luckily escaped him. She picked Reed out of a line up. Her car was found parked two blocks from Reed’s grandmother’s house.
Feel free to remove if comment too long.
Fuckin’ amazing! Stacey Stites was the 7th woman this creep violently raped and assaulted.
Searching around the internet, a few people in comments on articles had heard that he had previously committed a couple of rapes. Other than that, there is no mention – especially no reporting — about Reed being a violent sexual predator.
Again, I can’t believe the media is covering for this piece of crap. They’ll try to frame the cop for the victim’s murder and refuse to report on all of Reed’s violent rapes. Unfucking believable!
It is revolting for anyone to attempt to portray Reed as an innocent victim. The evidence against him in the murder of Stacey Stites is overwhelming:
http://staceystites.com/Reed_Opinion_2000.pdf
http://staceystites.com/Answer.pdf
Additionally, he had raped his mentally disabled “girlfriend” (I have a serious issue with anyone claiming a mentally disabled person as their consenting sexual partner — as if such people have the competence to truly give adult consent). Anyone who takes advantage of a mentally disabled person in this way is inhuman. It was the DNA taken from the investigation of his “girlfriend’s” rape that was used to obtain a positive match to Stacey’s rape and murder.
Below is a link to a slide show depicting photographs of Stacey. She is one out of the many true victims in this case. Warning: You will need a Kleen-ex to get through the entire slide show. The background song could not be more perfect and the overall effect of the photos and musical commentary is very poignant. Stacey was obviously a very vibrant young lady who teemed with life and sparkled with a megawatt smile — and she was so obviously loved. I cannot begin to imagine the pain her family, fiance, and friends have experienced since losing her.

I had made a comment almost three hours ago, but I received a message stating: Your comment is awaiting moderation. Just checking up and hoping the comment and links will be cleared and posted.

Tracy, sorry your link was stuck in moderation so long. I freed it, so don’t worry about duplicated info, it is very much worthwhile.
I’ve been gone all day and just got in. I imagine Robbie and his bride, along with the hound dogs, have been having fun all weekend.
Maybe im a weak Dutch girl but my dead got killed and honestly watching someone else putting a needle in his arm wouldnt give me any justice at at all. If I wanted him dead I would have fired that bullet myself. Then it would be revenge.
And yes my dad was’nt a cop but he was still human and our families got hurt really bad too. But that doesn’t mean I think his family should feel the same pain as my family has suffered. They don’t deserve to get punished for something their dad did.
Obviously, Americans love their fathers more than the Dutch love theirs.
