The poetry of J.J. Jameson

The guy who turned out to be the escaped murderer from Massachusetts, not Peter Parker's mean boss. Hear some of his poetry; read some of his poems.

I like the story of the fugit

I like the story of the fugitive redeeming himself through good works, but it seems like he didn't stay entirely out of trouble during his time in Chicago.

One of the things the smirking reporters forgot ...

As they bared their fangs in delight on last night's newscasts:

When Porter was still in jail here, he had a surprising number of people, some fairly prominent, who were working to seek a pardon for him, because of the good things he'd been doing in prison.

Yeah...

...he managed to get one particular notoriously lenient guy trying to get him out of prison:

In 1975, Governor Michael S. Dukakis commuted [THE MURDERER'S] first life sentence, and [THE MURDERER] began serving his second sentence. Dukakis tried twice in 1978 to commute [THE MURDERER'S] sentence, as well, but was unsuccessful.

This guy is an EXTREME example of the classic "wolf in sheep's clothing" . Very, very dangerous!! He needs to be put away before he cons, and ultimately. murders someone else

Not sure I agree

I'd like to hear more about his days in Chicago before jumping to that conclusion. Sometimes a fugitive can lead an exemplary enough life on the lam that some mitigation is called for once he is caught.

It does bother me that he drove drunk and without a license, but I'm not sure that alone is evidence he is still dangerous to society.

Jumping to that conclusion?

He murdered a guy during an armed robbery, initiated an escape while awaiting trial resulting in the death of a guard and committed another armed robbery while on the lam, and then after he was tried and convicted, escaped again. End of story. Throw away the key.
