  • Shiftgood, on 07/25/2008, -17/+564Sitting down at my desk around 8:46 many a morning clicking "send, receive" i thought to myself. "I'm gonna ***** kill whoever sends these things, i hope they burn in hell".

    but not like this... not like this.
  • cupcakeprincess, on 07/25/2008, -16/+333finally, a reliable spam filter
  • EastBayFunk, on 07/25/2008, -2/+243Life moved him from the "inbox" to the "trash" folder.
  • inderpreet99, on 07/25/2008, -9/+211This is just sad!

    I can never understand when parents commit suicide, why they kill their kids? Its understandable the parents usually can make a choice, but why are they forcing their kids. Just cowards.
  • nobelief, on 07/25/2008, -3/+146hahaha we're gonna burn in hell
  • gzappia, on 07/25/2008, -5/+144poor kid and wife.. this guy shoulda just killed himself like any responsible depressed person who loves to send me f'ing emails asking if i wanna buy \/!4g4r/-\

    bastard.
  • garths, on 07/25/2008, -2/+138I'm trying to think of a Viagra themed joke, but it's just not coming.
  • greeniemeani, on 07/25/2008, -3/+108Buried for spam.
  • Elranzer, on 07/25/2008, -2/+101I was surprised to hear that a scumbag like that even had a wife and kids...
  • Elliuotatar, on 07/25/2008, -0/+91He killed himself over a jail sentance of less than 2 years some of which would probably have been reduced for parole? Reading that headline I expected that he'd gotten 30 years or something.

    Wow, this guy was a real moron. And an ***** apparently, as well.
  • XTrek, on 07/25/2008, -2/+74Agreed, the guy should have done himself first...
  • Thuktun, on 07/25/2008, -1/+72I'm pretty sure Slashdot's ramblings had zero to do with Fast Eddie's cowardly decision to murder his family and commit suicide.
  • mtschmie, on 07/25/2008, -0/+71My theory - They can't bare the thought of leaving a child to deal with the fact that dad killed both himself and mom, so they take the child with them because somehow that makes them feel less guilty. Does it make sense? No, but then again, these aren't the actions of a rational person.
  • Sebthelodgemn, on 07/25/2008, -13/+81what an hero
  • gridbread, on 07/25/2008, -9/+73Did he drop any good loot?

  • Elranzer, on 07/25/2008, -0/+54That's the point.

  • gn0stik, on 07/25/2008, -0/+53Oh, snap!

    It's ***** up he killed his wife and kid though. What a dick. And over a 2 years of minimum security federal time. What a sissy.
  • Dan11023, on 07/25/2008, -9/+59glad about the spam king death, however, its just horrible what happened to that 3 year old.

    wait, is this article spam? I am afraid to click it.
  • inactive, on 07/25/2008, -7/+56What a great name for a band: Fugitive Spam King.

    Very sad about this man and his family, though. Say a prayer for the remaining family.
  • joemofo214, on 07/25/2008, -6/+48looks like he ran into a captcha code he couldnt get out of.
  • BoneheadFarker, on 07/25/2008, -1/+42I would have settled for just him...but at least leave the 3 year old out of it. That's just pathetic...
  • ausfahrt, on 07/25/2008, -1/+42Looks like you are not the smartest smartass hey.
  • staffa, on 07/25/2008, -1/+35I am even more disgusted with that leach for taking two others with him.
  • Sebthelodgemn, on 07/25/2008, -3/+36oh god i lol'd
  • Dubbsacc, on 07/25/2008, -1/+34Outlook has a Send/Receive button.
  • nblsavage, on 07/25/2008, -0/+31you know, not everything is a conspiracy. Sometimes people are just stupid and evil.
  • kurtwinter, on 07/25/2008, -0/+27d0es y0ur t0mbst0ne n3eD v1agRa?
  • BohicaTwentyTwo, on 07/25/2008, -0/+26Like I needed another reason to hate this piece of filth.
  • DCJoeDogaswell, on 07/25/2008, -10/+34Moral of the story, SPAM Kills...in a Murder/suicide scinario
  • kineticarl, on 07/25/2008, -1/+26amateurs...
  • Fathom, on 07/25/2008, -7/+32dieing sucks, but spam sucks a lot too
  • dougmwpsu, on 07/25/2008, -28/+52Yesterday on Slashdot, folks were tagging the article about the spam king's escape with "wanteddeadoralive" and wanteddead." Today there's a general air of community guilt. Be careful what you wish for people.

    *Prays for the surviving family*
  • Swordman554, on 07/25/2008, -2/+25But if hell is made up of terrible things, wouldn't there still be spam?
  • krango, on 07/25/2008, -1/+23and all because he wanted to make our penises bigger.
  • vulpescry, on 07/25/2008, -0/+22While I hate spam, and feel a sort of disdain towards Edward Davison for exploiting people and making profits by bugging the hell out of everyone else...

    There's no reason why an innocent girl and loving mother should have left that way.
  • inphu510n, on 07/25/2008, -1/+23Persistent depression mixed with a lack of empathy for other human beings.
    Obviously the reasons the guy became a spam magnate in the first place.
  • grey580, on 07/25/2008, -7/+28Sometimes I say I wanna kill a spammer. but. this is very sad. :(
  • FukUrCouch, on 07/25/2008, -0/+21I don't know how anyone can look at a 3 year old and shoot them. This bastard needs to burn in spam hell. He should have left the money he had stashed away to the wife and kids and killed himself.
  • NuttySquirrel, on 07/25/2008, -0/+21Well look at all the money he made...
  • callinthelaw69, on 07/25/2008, -3/+23I see what you did there..
  • kingmanic, on 07/25/2008, -0/+20He was probably a narcissist. The whole world revolved around him.
  • Namco, on 07/25/2008, -2/+21So does your spelling.
  • BeyondDGrave, on 07/25/2008, -1/+20"facepalm.jpg"
  • cgibbo, on 07/25/2008, -1/+20v1@gra +50 st4m1na +70 conf1dence
  • Miamisun, on 07/25/2008, -5/+24HOLY *****! What a *****! This a glympse into the mind of a ***** spammer.
  • TeMerc, on 07/25/2008, -3/+21Tragic ending for the family, too bad the coward didn't just hole himself up somewhere and eat a bullet, without hurting others. No one would have missed his sorry ass.

    Typical thinking of himself, likely thought they couldn't live without him.

    As for less spam, the guy had already been in jail, anyone notice any dip? I sure didn't nor have I read anywhere that spam had dropped previously.

    It never does when these scumbags are busted. There's always another scumbag waiting in the wings to take his spot.
