Nah fuck this dickhead. How anyone can read the prattle of this guy and not be sickened by the hypocrisy is beyond me.

My principle is to support and empower marginalized inmates at all costs so none will be victims of genocide and none will become extinct.

Said the bloke, who went on a robbing spree and murdered two people. Murdering one man unnecessarily (even his accomplice thought this) and then failing to kill another; leaving him permanently blind in both eyes. Bet he was super concerned about their rights before it impacted his life right?

Fuck his opinion on anything. He may be right that prisoner deserve basic rights and not to be abused in prison but I have zero interest in hearing about it from a murder, especially one so utterly tone deaf to write like that.

Edited to fix pronoun misinterpretation.

Adams and Gulley are also charged with capital murder in the death of 49-year-old Pascual Montealvo. Montealvo was shot to death at about 10:40 p.m. on Sept. 27 outside the Crystal Ballroom on Northwest Highway, where he’d been attending a quincineara with his daughter. Montealvo had walked outside to talk on his cell phone when Gulley and Adams tried to rob him and Gulley shot him in the chest.

Damn, that must be fucked to be the daughter having your dad murdered over something so stupid

Yeah and then you read on a sizeable site that your fathers murderer wants to “support and empower minority inmates at all cost”. Guess marginalised civilians don’t count. What a joke of an article.
