(20,176 posts)As an anti-capital-punishment activist, I feel compelled to work along with dozens of other people to save his life...but it's hard because he's loathesome and evil; manipulative, cruel, cracks jokes about his crime, shows no remorse, and his favorite pastime is to threaten suicide constantly so he can spend a night in the much comfier hospital-ward and waste guards' time having to rip his entire cell apart looking for things he could use to kill himself. His second favorite pastime is to file frivolous motions to accelerate his execution, usually on grounds he knows will never be approved, typically because they're insane. ("I want to die because everything in my cell is gray and I hate gray."
The fact that he annihilated the entire family of my mother's endocrinologist doesn't make him any easier to like, let me tell you.

This is Steven Hayes. If you ever wanted proof that opposition to the death penalty is about a principle and not the inmate...he'd be it. Never in my life have I worked so hard to spare the life of someone I'll be so happy to see dead of natural causes.
