Actress Sarandon visits Texas condemned killer

04:35 PM CDT on Wednesday, July 14, 2004

Associated Press

LIVINGSTON -- Actress Susan Sarandon spoke with a convicted killer for about two hours Wednesday in a Texas death row visit.

Sarandon declined to talk with reporters after she met with James Allridge, III at the Polunsky Unit in Livingston.

Sarandon is a death penalty opponent who won an Academy Award for her portrayal of an anti-capital punishment nun in the film "Dead Man Walking."

Allridge, who declined to speak with reporters Wednesday, faces execution August 26.

He was condemned for the 1985 shooting death of a Fort Worth convenience store clerk.

The victim was 21-year-old Brian Clendennen of Everman.

Allridge's connection to Sarandon may stem from his artistic pursuits.

Since 1993 he's produced handmade greeting cards that have sold in the U.S. and Europe.

" Liberal/commies love killers. That's why they were so upset that we took out Saddam Hussein. "


I wouldn't be surprised if Sarandon is sending perfume spritzed letters of encouragement to 1960's radical leader Ira Einhorn who murdered and stuffed his livin girlfriend in a trunk. They're all nutty schizos who eventually eat their own.

Signature #69. Dr. C. Lane I have reviewed the facts surrounding this case and see NO benefit to society in killing this man Quite, the contrary, we as a society would lose an artist, poet and very wise man.

Fry him, pickle him, poke him full of holes and let him hang.

Thanks for sharing the nitwit's response. Some people don't get it. The scumbag voluntarily set in motion the events that will lead to his demise.

Livingston/Huntsville---> Did they issue an in-house shelter alert to both towns? Winds are blowing northenly today, watch out Dallas. (Houston is in the clear.) Isn't the state looney bin somewhere near there? Hopefully she'll go visit there and somebody will notice she has an "I'm an actress that means I'm god" complex. Not to mention an out of touch with reality disorder.

" Liberal/commies love killers. That's why they were so upset that we took out Saddam Hussein. "

That raises an interesting point, are there actually any right wing tyrants in modern history other than the Saudi Royal Family and Saddam Hussein?

Stalin, Pol Pot, Musolini, Mao Tse Tung, Castro, Gaddaffi - they were all left wing, and Hitler, he was leader of the National German Socialist Worker's Party.

So how do the left get off on comparing Republicans to Nazis?

May the light that radiates from James Allridge's artwork be your guide. His life is an inspiration to thousands of individuals who are praying that you grant him clemency.

She named her son Jack Henry after this lovely fellow:

Jack Henry Abbott convicted murderer and writer whose prison letters to Norman Mailer were published as the best-selling In the Belly of the Beast (1981). Mailer helped Abbott, who was in jail for armed robbery and killing another inmate, win parole in 1981. Abbott landed back in prison six weeks later for murder. Died: Alden, N.Y., Feb. 10, 2002

She has a big soft spot for cold blooded killers. In other words, she's nuts.

A bleeding heart Liberal.

Here is Allridge's next permanent home. Hopefully, he moves in this August.

Saddam Hussein and his Ba'ath Party are/were Socialist in nature, ie; left wing as well. As far as the Saudi Royal Family goes, they could largely be considered opportunistic oligarchs, and neither right nor left is applicable...
