Today's mailbag


Lots of hate email is coming in to NCADP today in the wake of today's execution in Ohio.

I don't mind it -- it is par for the course and very easy for me to hit the "delete" button (not so easy for the interns, I sometimes fear). What is surprising to me is how the hate mail fluctuates from execution to execution. When blacks are executed, we ALWAYS get more hate mail than when whites are executed -- and the hate mail usually comes with racial epithets attached. (Draw your own conclusions here about whether the death penalty brings out the worst in us.)

Today we had a trifecta. The person being executed was black, mentally ill, and he was allegedly a Satan worshiper. Hate mail? Indeed.

I hope (or maybe it's more of an "I wish" type statement here) that for every person who sends the NCADP hate mail, there is a person who sends a "Do Not Execute..." email from the NCADP website.
 
What you need to do is to add email address of every hate mail you get to NCADP's list and also distribute those email addresses to other DP groups so that they can add it to their lists too!
 
Persiancowboy -

I like that idea.
 
With every hate mail message sent, a cute puppy is born. ;)
