Parking Garage Murder Suspect: 'I Wanted To Kill Someone White'

In his confession Phillip Grant said: "I knew I couldn't get away with it, I just wanted the death penalty. I wanted to kill someone white."

He picked the wrong state to commit this crime in. New York state does not have a death penalty. Even for the brief moment when it did have the death penalty, it wasnt enforced.

We are awaiting some word from District Attorney Jeanine Pirro on whether she will file or seek hate crime charges in addition to the murder charges.

If the races were reversed I doubt the wait would have been a long one. Too bad this pig won't hang or get the needle. Prayers for this woman's family.

---New York state does not have a death penalty.---

His chances of getting stabbed to death in prison are pretty good though.

Wasn't there another bozo saying the same thing that shot some teenager just recently?

[flashbunny]

there is no need for anyone to have a concealed carry permit. Just call 911 and the police will come to help...outline your body with chalk.

[CaptainK]

I'm pretty sure NY still has the death penalty. But as you say, it is never used.

'I Wanted To Kill Someone White'

..but it had to be someone small, and a woman, cuz I'm not only a f'n psychopath, I'm a world class pussy too !

Yeah, and of course that was the motivation of Colin Ferguson -- which the NY media turned into a call for gun control. This murder might have been prevented if that poor woman had an effective means to resist that monster. God bless her, she tried, but a petite woman and an average man are an unfair match in a fight.

d.o.l.

"...high risk sex offenders, who in some cases have been released on city streets."

Someone tell me why in the hell was he released "on city streets" in the first place??!!

[I still care]

I've seen Pirro on Fox, she seems pretty tough.

Don't hold your breath. Ms Pirro is preoccupied with the Missing Persons Channel - er Fox "News" Channel - to waste her time with this case.

"But Connie Russo Carriero's tragic death is sparking debate over high risk sex offenders, who in some cases have been released on city streets."

WTF?
Didn't they hear his confession, where he said he just wanted to kill someone white?

Or are they trying to spin this as a "sex crime" hoping nobody asks that it be called a "hate crime?" (As if there's any other kind...)

I saw this all over national news with demands for hate crime prosecution. Didn't You???

Can you imagine if a white guy supposedly uttered a racial slur while doing this and kept his mouth shut for the police. The uproar would be coast to coast without the detailed confession.

I haven't heard a peep about this.

[sgtbono2002]

This guy thinks he can beat the rap because he is crazy, but he isnt crazy enopugh to try to kill a large man.

This is a hate crime and should be tried as such.

[lowbridge]

I'm pretty sure NY still has the death penalty.

Nope.

[AD from SpringBay]

Totally off topic, BUT, for some reason this reminded me of the criminal that killed a couple of bailiff's and then went into hiding for a day or so, only to be cornered by the Purpose Driven Life lady. Whatever happened to him?

[Redbob]

Just after the Senate "apologizes" for lynchings, along comes some animal just begging for a revival of lynchings.

Ever wonder what kind of crime provoked lynch mobs in the first place?
Here you are.

He told detectives of his victim: "I never seen her. It didn't matter as long as she had blonde hair and blue eyes - she was going to die."

We live in unbelievable violent times.

Just the other day, up near Seattle, a guy was driving his pickup truck, and was shot in the face with a shotgun and killed by another person who just wanted to kill a white guy.

Will become a Muslim while in prison.

Of course not you silly goose!
