Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Murder of Joseph Didier

wikipedia talk : articles for deletion/murder of joseph didier.......i remember when this horrible deed happened, i was 9 at the time - in cub scouts and my best friend had a paper route that i walked with him on many occasions through downtown rockford. this event scared the sh*t out of me. after that happened i went with him more often so he wasn't alone and one of us always had one of those whistles hanging around our neck. it affected our daily lives for quite a while as our parents always had to know exactly where we were because there was a murderer running around rockford that preyed on someone our age and doing the normal things we did. JOEY could have been any number of us at the time. it was unnerving to say the least. i still am reminded of it from time to time when that evil man comes up for parole hearings. save taxpayer dollars and give this man the same treatment he gave Joey that horrible day - end of story. but to delete the story would be wrong - as if it never happened and the public has the right to be aware of sick individuals like him - EVEN IF HE ONLY KILLED ONE TIME !! what the hell ?? the story is only worth saving if he committed 2 or more murders ?? if only stories of multiple murders are kept around all you are doing is setting a goal for some dumb*ss to say " well hell, i can beat that ". if you take someones life without any question of guilt whatsoever - your life should be taken in exchange for that life you extinguished. Joey may not have done anything great for humanity ..... but he never got the chance to either, did he ?? keep this story around and i'll sign every parole denial petition for this loser that i see. steve 12.163.33.35 (talk) 15:28, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
