Henry Montogomery Denied Parole
Surprised this wasn't already posted. I don't believe he should ever be allowed to walk freely after what he did. Thoughts?

So, Eric Clapton was wrong?

I do believe he should be allowed to walk freely provided he proves to the parole board he deserves a chance.

Can I ask why? He took a person's life and there is no doubt that he did it. Why should be allowed the opportunity to have a life after he took that right away from someone else?

Maybe I'm too young for that reference or I don't listen to enough Clapton but I have no idea what you mean

He's institutionalized now

This guy was the original “Hands up, Don’t shoot.”
And frick this guy. This many years later and he tries for a self defense argument? Nope. He can rot in the can.

the police report for the 1963 incident. That report states Hurt had his hands in the air and was backing away before Montgomery fired his weapon. Montgomery disputes this. He spoke to the parole board through a video monitor from Angola, and said he was “scared” at the time of shooting and was trying to protect himself. Montgomery also said Hurt was reaching for his gun before the shots were fired.

Have you even seen Shawshank Redemption? He's been in there since 1963. The freaking Beatles were barely getting off the ground in America by then. It may be a worse punishment to make him integrate back into society at the age of 71. I'm not saying he should be released but all of you acting like he'd be out and immediately hitting the town and picking up chicks living the good life is pretty funny.

Ahhhhh now I get it thanks for clearing that up.

Did I say anything about him going out on the town and picking up chicks? All I said was why does he get a shot at life when he took one away from someone else.

My point was that if released he really wouldn't have a shot any kind of actual life. It would probably be pretty miserable.

Wilbert Rideau (Wikipedia)
quote:
Rideau was convicted of first-degree murder in the course of a bank robbery in 1961 and sentenced to death.
quote:NY Times
In 2005 Rideau was tried a fourth time and unanimously convicted by the jury of the lesser charge of manslaughter; they did not believe he had planned the killing. Rideau was sentenced to the maximum of 21 years; as he had already served nearly 44 years, he was freed.
quote:Curiously, Rideau's Wiki page does not have the "quick and cool" quote.
he walked into a Gulf National Bank branch in Lake Charles as it was closing on Feb. 16, 1961. He forced the manager at gunpoint to fill a suitcase with $14,000 and ordered the manager and two tellers into a car. Rideau, who had just turned 19 and had no prior record, worked in a nearby fabric shop and knew all three employees.
The abduction ended in a swampy area outside of town where Rideau ordered the three out of the car, lined them up and shot them one by one, said Frank Salter, the former District Attorney who prosecuted the case. The branch manager, J. H. Hickman, stumbled into the bayou and escaped. One of the tellers, Dora McCain, was shot in the neck and played dead, even as Rideau kicked her repeatedly to be sure. The other teller, Julia Ferguson, begged for her life, reminding Rideau that she took care of her father. "Wilbert, think of my poor daddy," she said. "What will he do without me?" Brandishing a hunting knife, Rideau responded, "Don't worry, this will be quick and cool." He then stabbed her in the heart and slit her throat. Ms. Ferguson died, but Hickman and Ms. McCain survived.

Not trying to convince you otherwise, but my reasoning is he would be given time with loved ones that the deputy and his family never got to have. Just my way of thinking on it.

And that is how the system fricks the victims of crimes.
