State To Execute Fame-Seeking Killer: Florida Helps
Man Who Cruelly Killed To Become "Superstar" Criminal.


Wednesday, October 25th, in grim irony, the state will grant Danny Rolling's
wish to be famous.  He claimed that he set out on his raping and killing spree
in order to become a "superstar" among criminals.  "The State of Florida is
giving this psychopathic killer just what he wanted," states Mark Elliott,
Spokesman for Floridians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty (FADP),  "He
will now enjoy celebrity status courtesy of a high-profile state execution."

"His name, his photo and worst of all, his horrific deeds will be revived,"
says FADP's Elliott, "Why rescue this fame-seeking rapist-killer from his agony
of obscurity and give him the prestige he so desperately wanted?"

Elliott adds, "We must never forget the victims of these crimes.  As for
Rolling, lock him up, throw away the key and let him die alone and unremembered.
Now we must all relive the horrors and the pain while seeing his face, hearing
his name and knowing that he got his wish."
