Should This Cop Killer Be Released Because He Plays the Flute?
PJ Media ^ | 03-15-2015 | Michael van der Galien

Back in the 1970s, Black Panther Herman Bell killed not one, but two police officers. He should’ve received the death penalty for those horrendous crimes, but he got off lightly; he was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison, which is why he now has the opportunity to ask for his release because he’s supposedly a “changed man.”

His ultimate proof? He plays the flute.

That’s right: he learned how to play a musical instrument. Isn’t that fantastic?

Of course, he’s now a talented musician.

But when all is said and done, he’s a still a murderer and a cop killer to boot.

He should never be released on the streets again, period.

Why would they put someone who can play the flute in prison?

Burn his flute and shoot him in the brain. What nonsense. That’s sort of like saying that we should have let Hitler off the hook because he could paint. Instead of using his talent, he made bad decisions and took away life. His life is no longer his own. You take a life and your life is forfeit—along with all the talents and potential that you ever had.

Skipped the video. The cop-killer should be executed.

I play the lute. Maybe I can cheat on my taxes this year, and all will be forgiven?

The daughter of an ex girlfriend of mine played the flute and she was Rhoda Penmark incarnate.

I think if I was in prison, the last instrument I’d learn to play is a flute.

The first thing older inmates tell new ones is grab a program, it looks good to the parole board.

Ashley Nichole 'Nikki' Read, age 8, RAPED and KILLED by david keen. 26 yrs ago. He has been on TN Death Row for 20 yrs. ALL State and Federal Appeals are FINISHED. DNA proved he raped her, he confessed he both raped and strangled her to death with her own shoe laces. Yet TN Gov Bill Halsam refuses to set an execution date or sign the execution warrant.

615) 741-2001 bill.haslam@tn.gov

Nikki was raped, strangled with her own Shoelaces, wrapped tightly in her blanket and thrown in the river barely still alive, where she finally drown to death. 25 Yrs of waiting for Justice, is obscene.

Tell TN Governor to do his Constitutional Duty, that 2 juries decided and all appeals courts UPHELD was the right course of action. The Death Penalty.

david keen child rapist, murderer


Nikki age 8

“That’s right: he learned how to play a musical instrument. Isn’t that fantastic?”

I’m sure that he has a lot of experience in playing the skin flute in prison......if you know what I mean.
