The father of a 5-year-old boy killed in 1975 is vowing to murder his son's killer if the man is released, as scheduled, several years early from a 40-year sentence.

John Foreman said in an interview Monday with WPRO-AM radio that he will kill convicted murderer Michael Woodmansee "as aggressively and as painfully" as he killed his son if Woodmansee is released from prison early.

Woodmansee, who was 16 years old at the time, kidnapped and killed Jason Foreman in 1975 in South Kingstown, R.I. He confessed and was convicted of second-degree murder eight years later.

Jason Foreman was presumed to be missing until 1982, when Woodmansee tried to lure another boy into his home. The boy escaped and police began to question Woodmansee about Foreman's disappearance......

Most likely I’d want to do the same thing... I just wouldn’t be quite so public about my intentions.

[DCBryan1]

Ill contribute to his defense fund after he does it.

I can understand how distraught the father is with the thought of the killer of his five year old getting out of prison. IMHO, announcing you are going to murder the murderer of your child is not the smartest move. In some cases, silence is golden.

[Lurker]

His only mistake is saying it publicly. Personally I'd be writing letters to the Warden and Parole Boards telling them I forgive this creep, that I'm sure he's turned his life around, etc.

Then.....

[MichaelP]

I can't say as I blame the man...I'd like to be on the jury that tries him for it...

[WestwardHo]

How could a father do any less?

[Young Werther]

I believe that capital punishment is a waste of time and money.

In odere to pay his debt to society the convicted murderer should have his eyes, heart, lung, kidneys and lungs harvested and given those in need.

then he can be taken tothe prison gate where he will be released......

John, SSS.

On the other hand there may be some folks out there with the same feelings. I just hope the dad will have a good alibi.

[libertarian27]

Speak softly and carry a big stick.....

[Our man in washington]

If I’m on the jury, I’d be saying to the other jurors “Look, it’s POSSIBLE that the 200 witnesses who saw him shoot the guy in broad daylight are all mistaken. Maybe it was some guy who just looks like him who happens to have the same fingerprints and blood type. I think there’s reasonable doubt here.”

Most likely, the man will not kill his son's murderer. But, if people do agree to fund men who are willing to carry out punishment for this crime I believe some change may come. Pedophiles can not be cured. While I do not support the death penalty, I can understand a man's need to rid society of this type of predator. Anyway, I would certainly contribute to a legal defense fund for this man.

[WayneS]

Exactly.

[carumba]

Just take him to a lake. Secure a large rock to his neck. Man overboard.

[2001convSVT]

And if I was on the jury, a big NOT GULITY.

[absolootezer0]

that’s why i support hanging as a chosen method for capital punishment. it won’t destroy the harvestable organs.

[Cicero]

This pedophile not only kidnapped and murdered a five year old boy, he was caught when he tried to do the same thing to a second little boy.

I can’t imagine why he didn’t get the death penalty in the first place.

My thought was the same as everyone else’s here. He is foolish to make such statements publicly. But if I was on the jury when he was tried, I would find him not guilty. It’s called elementary justice, when the legal system fails like this to do its job.

[The Sons of Liberty]

The best way to take care of scum like the killer is to find a fellow inmate that has no hope of parole, to “assist”.

[I cannot think of a name]

This is why I support the death penalty.

It doesn't matter what the details of the crime are, or how long the sentence - let enough years go by and the usual idiots will begin the “reformed, sorry, forgiveness” bullsh@t.

If the victim is in the ground, put the perp there as well. If he is truly reformed and sorry, God will sort it out.
