The following email is legitimate. We didn't make it up. It was sent to me, a Christian clergyman and mother of three who volunteers as webmaster for this site. The writer purports to be a prison guard and a marine. I'm publishing the email because it's so typical of the vicious, raciest mentality of many prison guards and, sadly, of some marines and other aggressive, self-important persons. The only changes we've made is adding some paragraphs. Paragraphs are apparently tough for prison guards to figure out. "As an American, This [sic] web site is a piece of shit. You are a piece of shit. You pre or post op fucking homo. [sic] Too bad your boyfriend is getting plugged in the ass in a PA state prison and your [sic] sitting home dreaming playing with black dildos and fucking with the anti-law enforcement web sites. "Well for the record I am a Massachusetts state [sic] Correctional [sic] Officer [sic] and PROUD of it! Every day I protect society from being hurt or victimized by the lowlifes [sic] that you help. You can can [sic] keep your web site going about how we are 'brutal,' 'corrupt,' etc. EVERY Day [sic] we Walk [sic] the Toughest [sic] Beat [sic] in America. "On top of all your GARBAGE...I'm also a UNITED STATES MARINE...11 years of service active and reserve. I'm a Sergeant [sic] in the USMC Reserve [sic] Infanrty. [sic] "On top of all your anti-Marine [sic] bullshit...It's me and my fellow Marines [sic] that give your FAT ass the right to run your mouth...Of course you won't or couldn't appreciate that. The sacrifices I made in Iraq, Haiti and Bosnia probably mean nothing to you.* "Maybe if I found your little black troll of a boyfriend...How [sic] bout [sic] I beat him up??? Sounds like a plan...No...Don't [sic] need no help...just my hands Because [sic] I"m [sic] a professional...Well You [sic] SUCK. "Sincerely, Sergeant Miller, USMC Office Miller, MA DOC" * Author's note: I never felt threatened by Iraq, Haiti or Bosnia, perhaps others were more frightened.
