Dear Ray, you took the life of a human being. You must ask for forgiveness. The state of Texas twisted logic is that you learn the value of life by them taking your life. Yet how can the dead be taught a lesson? How can the dead be given a chance at redemption? If life is so precious, why take yours?
I pray for you everyday every since I read your letter. I started a petition on Change.org asking Governor Perry to commute to life in prison but it got little attention. An eye for an eye leaves both blind and America continues to stumble in the dark. You are right in your assessment, most people are too busy to pay attention to what's really going on in the justice system or too indifferent.
Thank you for writing your letter. My son do not be afraid. God's angels are with you.
Imagine a psychopath is holding you against your will in a cage for ten plus years. The psychopath tells you everyday that he is going to kill you and gets great pleasure in describing to you just how he will do it. He will strap you down and put a combination of poison in your veins . For ten plus years you sit hoping against hope for your life to be spared. But the psychopath won't let you go. He announces to you that in two weeks you will die. The only escape from this nightmare, away from the psychopath is to take your life but you want to live. The psychopath tells you that you must pay for a crime you committed when you were 19 years old. You are now 33, no more that reckless stupid teenager that killed a man. The crime was called murder when you committed it but is called law for the pyschopath. He wrote the law he says with a laugh. The psychopath tells you he believes in his insane mind he is a Christian yet he ignores the teachings about forgiveness from the one he claims to follow. Forgiveness is for the weak he thinks. Was Jesus weak? The psychopath is evil. His name is Texas and he is holding captive Ray Jasper and plans to kill him. Will anyone stop him?
Lets abolish the death penalty in America and end the rampage of this pyschopath.

12:21 PM PT: Let's get it out the way, up front. Yes Ray Jasper committed a horrific crime and I feel for the victim's family. That's why Jasper is in prison. The issue is whether the death penalty is as sick as what Ray Jasper did to his victim. Are we throwing more fire on fire to put out fire? We better watch it, as the prison systems grows and we turn a blind eye to over-sentencing, guilty by association laws, more of the general public will end up in these new concentration camps. Jasper was wrong for what he did but he is right that folks need pay attention to all the new laws being passed. They thought it couldn't happen in Germany too.
