Breaking: Trump to posthumously pardon Richard Speck

Speck, the confessed murderer of eight student nurses in 1966, and who died in 1991 while serving a 1200 year prison sentence, was fully pardoned today. Trump stated, “Yeah, I know what some people said about him but he had XYY syndrome and was just an ultra-manly man.”

Pardons for John Wayne Gacy and Jeffrey Dahmer are reportedly in the works.

just in case

Was the victim of a deep state witch hunt.

Let’s put him on the on the $100 bill instead of that socialist (he invented the Post Office and advocated for public libraries) Benjamin Franklin.

Richard Speck was a pox on humanity. I will never forget reading the stories in the Tribune about that case. One nurse hid under the bed and heard her friends murdered. He was a very very very bad man. I am not fond of capital punishment but he more than deserved it. My Dad said they should just let him loose and tell the fathers what day and time.
