'Carlos the Jackal' quits food
The Australian ^ | Nov. 30, 2004 | correspondents in Paris

Posted on 11/30/2004 4:01:54 PM PST by Kitten Festival

THE terrorist known as Carlos the Jackal is again refusing food to protest against conditions in prison, where he is serving a life sentence, one of his lawyers said today.

The Venezuelan, whose real name is Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, stopped eating last Wednesday and said he will continue the strike "as long as necessary," attorney Isabelle Coutant Peyre said by telephone.

She said he is protesting against being kept in isolation, "provocative and unjustifiable" body and cell searches, and authorities' refusal to let him access his prison bank account for food and other necessities. He is imprisoned at a high-security prison in Fresnes, a southern suburb of Paris.

So let him starve! It amazes me how prisoners think prison is a country inn where they they get special treatmentment! No wonder so many want to return when they get out.

Why is he alive? I'm sure that if they decided to let him out he wouldn't survive very long.

Starve, animal, starve. I hope his cellblock guards have filet mignon catered every night, and eat it right in front of his bars.

Wow, now this is a real no-brainer. Put the food out, if he chooses not to eat it SO WHAT? Let this worm die.

Dear Carlos,

I'm not suffiently worked up over this yet, so please try beating your head on the walls also, to see if that makes me care enough about your plight.

I'll get back to you after a week or so, and let you know whether that has worked, or if you have to also add continuously hitting yourself in the cojones.

BTW, if you really want to make an impact, you should convince your lawyer to join you in this regimen.

Consider the matter for a few months and then if he's still at it, give in to him.

The Jackel is a Michael Moore sized morbidly obese porcine FatBody.

This is mass murdering hystrionic commie talk for what we on earth call "a diet."

O, yes. Seal his cell airtight; he'll deplete all his oxygen pretty soon.

He was just in training. He is going for the record held by the late Bobby Sands.
