Sniper Suspect Complains About Jail Food - Malvo Says Loaf Makes Him Sick

FAIRFAX, Va. -- Sniper suspect and vegetarian John Lee Malvo says he's getting sick from eating prison food.

He says he's suffering from digestive disorders from a Virginia jail's meatless loaf, which he said is served to some inmates for disciplinary reasons.

For the past two weeks, the Fairfax County jail has been serving the 17-year-old Malvo something called "the loaf" -- a hodgepodge of flour, raisins, carrots, potatoes and other ingredients baked into brown cakes.

His court-appointed guardian said the teen has health problems as a result. He's asking the sheriff to give Malvo regular vegetarian meals in accordance with his Muslim beliefs.

Malvo started getting the loaf after complaining that that prison meat wasn't prepared the proper Muslim way.

Police have linked Malvo and John Allen Muhammad to 19 shootings -- including 13 deaths -- in the Washington, D.C., area and in several other states. Both are charged with capital murder.

A sheriff's spokesman denied that the loaf is considered a punishment. He said, "It's not that bad. It's actually palatable."

Not "THE LOAF!" Oh, the humanity.

Sometimes it's the little things that bring a smile to my face.

Maybe the kitchen helpers are adding a "special sauce".

"Malvo Says Loaf Makes Him Sick"

How dumb is this kid.

It isnt the loaf itself that is making him sick...it is the guard's urine mixed in the with the loaf....that is what is making him sick.

C'mon man.

put this moron on an all pig diet.

A coupla swigs of Mexican water will fix him right up.

Flour, raisins, carrots, potatoes? He's eating wholesome food. By contrast, Malvo's victims, like Generalissimo Franco, are still dead.

In this Holiest of Seasons, he should be grateful only vomit is coming out of his head, instead of pints of blood (like his victims).

prison meat wasn't prepared the proper Muslim way
And shooting people from the trunk of your car is the proper Muslim thing to do, right?

[JonH]

Life is a bitch!

There are a whole bunch of victims and families that would love to sit together and eat the loaf.

[TheBlueMax]

"Please, Sir, may I have some more?"

And shooting people from the trunk of your car is the proper Muslim thing to do, right?

Islam doesn't actually specify either the car or the gun... but it doesn't rule them out, either. The killing people part is in perfect accord with the Koran.

[TennTuxedo]

Screw Malvo and his wanting different food. Why should he be given any kind of special consideration? When did he ever think about the lives of the people he killed and the families that were affected.

I'll give him some more loaf...after I pinch one.

[bootless]

Boo frickin' hoo.

[alnick]

I suspect that the loved ones of this monster's victims would gladly eat nothing but meatless loaf for the rest of their lives if it would bring their loved ones back.

Where was all this moral indignation in the days of the Soviet gulags?? I guess there can only be opression and moral outrage when it's orchestrated by a noncommunist state. Silly me!

[What Is Ain't]

Hey, dude, the night before your execution you get your choice of food. Have your vegetarian meal then.

[RightWhale]

Maybe he's got the flesh-eating bacteria. Better keep him in isolation and feed him thin gruel for a few weeksdays until it is determined he is not infectious.

[Tijeras_Slim]

EAT LOAF AND DIE YOU MISERABLE LITTLE PRI@K!
