So I guess this reader thinks the murder was worth it in the end. Oh, and couldn’t I simply be “fathomably disgusting”? Anyway:

You must be the only person on earth with the correct mixture of shallowness, bloodthirstiness and pretension to assert (correctly) the value of
“Groundhog Day” — a beautiful tale of redemption — fast on the heels of your previous post, which expressed your preference that a dubiously convicted
killer (19 at the time, and black in 1961 Louisiana) be executed rather than permitted to reform himself and contribute to the world.
Unfathomably disgusting.
Needless to say — as I’m sure you know it deep down –(but it feels good to say it anyway) at the end of his life Rideau will have contributed more to the health of humanity’s soul than you, your wife and parents combined. By rather a lot. (I leave your daughter out of it, in case she diverges from the family tendencies.)
