CNN story on TN cop killer's last good deed
I just woke up and was getting caught up on the news this morning via the web and saw this on CNN's website. At first I thought I was still asleep and dreaming but unfortunately I'm awake. This story is BS. They're making this guy out to be some kind of hero because of his compassion for the homeless. What the HELL is the matter with people. There was only ONE sentence in the story about what he did to get the death penalty and nothing about the police officer that was murdered. I wonder how the officer's family feels about this. And just for PETA's contribution I'm ordering 3 X-LG ALL MEAT pizza's one hour apart so the driver has to make 3 trips and will contribute to global warming (I'm extra pi$$ed at all left wing kooks this morning). Sorry about the rant but now I'll be in a bad mood all day.

We should all sent some type of contribution to the family with a note on how we see what happened for the truth that it is...a good person lost his life and the past good deeds of a monster do not undo what they did.
Or at least send an e-mail to the editors of CNN telling them how it is wrong to put such a person on a pedistal....they should be ashamed for trying to glorify a person who did such a thing.0 -
CLASSIC CNN SPIN. 0 -
I sent in a bad note to them using the feedback at the bottom of the story. You get a little box to send a comment...along with some bubbles you can fill in if you want to (which I did not fill in.) 0 -

"Donna Spangler heard about Workman's request and immediately called her friends. They all pitched in for the $1,200 bill to buy 150 pizzas, which they sent to the Rescue Mission.
"Philip Workman was trying to do a good deed and no one would help him," said the 55-year-old who recruited a co-worker to help her make the massive delivery Wednesday evening.
"I knew my husband would have a heart attack -- I put some of it on the credit card. But I thought we'll find a way to pay for them later," she said. "I just felt like I had to do something positive."
Spangler wasn't the only person to place an order in Workman's name.
The president of the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals read a news story about the prison denying the inmate's last request and ordered 15 veggie pizzas sent to the Rescue Mission Wednesday morning.
"Workman's act was selfless, and kindness to all living beings is a virtue," said PETA President Ingrid Newkirk.
Not far away, 17 pizzas arrived at Nashville's Oasis Center, a shelter that helps about 260 teenagers in crisis. By 9 p.m. ET, more pizzas had arrived, said executive director Hal Cato.
"We talked to the kids and they understand what this is tied to and they know that this man [Workman] wanted to do something to point out the problems of homelessness."
When Workman robbed a Wendy's in Memphis, Tennessee, in 1981, he was a strung-out cocaine addict looking for a way to pay for his next high, he has said.
He was homeless at the time. Workman was convicted of shooting and killing Memphis Police Lt. Ronald Oliver during the robbery."
Donna Spangler and Ingrid Newkirk are insane. Have they no shame? Donating food to the homeless in the name of a cop murderer.
They are insane.0 -
