		<description><![CDATA[What is wrong with you people sticking up for someone like this saying it&#039;s okay to express your beliefs, so If I was to tatoo a swastika on my face it would be alright because I&#039;m just &quot;expressing my beliefs&quot; there us a difference between expressing beliefs and being offensive, sure he might believe believe whites are the supreme race but does that make it okay if he was to kill a black man because that was his beliefs? Think about it]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just want to say to all you haters on here don&#039;t judge him by this one mistake. Ya he screwed up big time and he does regret it and wishes that it never happened, but what&#039;s done is done there is no changing the past. Curtis is actually a great guy and a true friend. He would lay his life down for any of his family and close friends without even thinking twice about it. When it comes to women and children he would give the shirt off his back and do anything he could to help them. I know this because he is and always will be one of my closest friends and he was there for me whenever I needed him no questions asked when I needed him. He is portrayed as this hardcore racist yet I knew he had friends of other races and was even willing to raise a ex-girlfriends kid as his own knowing that the baby was half Mexican. So before you start running your mouths how about you take the time and do research on a person. You might be surprised to find out that they are very much loved and respected and trusted by those that knew them. Don&#039;t go by looks or tattoos or by what the media say about someone because those things aren&#039;t the only things that make a person who they are.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Did any of you apologists for Mr. Algiers notice that the officer he killed was White.  This man does not really care about black and white, he only cares about committing violent crimes.  Being a white supremacist just gives him a primary target group.  I am sure he would , and has hurt people of any race, gender, age, etc.  he has an antisocial personality which allows him to justify his violent actions.  Just read his account of how he killed that Correctional Officer; that WHITE Correctional officer during his escape attempt.

Anyone sticking up for this sociopath is an idiot,]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think most of you, on both sides of this issue are completely brain dead.  First, Mr. Algiers is not in jail for singing gospel hymns too loudly on a Saturday night.  He is a murderer and rapist.   You white people would feel completely different if he killed one of your loved ones.  There would be no making of excuses for him.   Judging from many of the posts by white people, if a black person was guilty of ten percent of the crimes committed by this animal, all of you white people would waste no time castigating that black person, not rationalizing his racist behavior.

White pride, as well as black pride or any other ethnic pride is for people who have NOTHING else to be proud of.  For example, I am black, but I am most proud of my academic achievements and how well adjusted and productive my children are.  I was born black, and thus, I had no choice what race to which I would belong.  If the only thing I had to be proud of was being black, I would feel my life was being wasteful.  But earning my BS in Chemistry, a full semester early and with honors, that&#039;s something to be proud of.  Earning my law degree while working full time, that is something to be proud of.  I refuse to join a gang or adopt a lifestyle built around something I was born, any idiot can be born white or black, it is what you do with your life that counts.

As for these statistics you white folks love to recite as to what racial group has done the most harm to the other.  If you must engage in this ridiculous folly, please distinguish between violence committed by groups as adherence to some doctrine of racial hostility and those who commit crimes for profit.  You will find, that even though blacks commit more crimes relative to the black population, blacks commit more crimes against blacks, and whites commit more crimes against whites.  Look up the statistics.

Also, as far as crimes committed be ause of race, whites far outpace blacks.  Just the number of white supremacist gangs operating in the USA, provides anecdotal evidence that when it comes to crimes committed against Jews and racial minorities, whites are far and away the heavy weight champions of hate crimes.

For you ladies who thinks that Mr. Algiers is so attractive, date and have children with someone just like him.  You can take your children to visit him every visitation day until the day they are sentenced to a long prison term just like him.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[First, if you are afraid of being raped in prison and have to join a hate group that is survival, but DO NOT GO TO PRISON&lt; DO THE CRIME DO THE TIME. 
Some one said Let&#039;s not bring God into this, that is exactly what we need to do. That is why all these crimes and horrible things happen. We abandoned God and he said fine, see how you do with out Me. Just read some of these comment, some seem they have down right empty lives and morals. To quote Jezz &quot;i dont think there is such things as sins. Live your life to the fullest and Fuck the rest.
I think he is the hottest guy i have ever seen!!!!&quot;
Now that is Intelligence and the world some are creating.I hope Jezz does not procreate, that kind of attitude does not need to be past on to child.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Judging from alot of these comments, it appears to me that majority of you guys only take things for surface value. Not taking the time to understand or dig a little bit deeper into the situation. 

Dont be decieved! Theres nothing wrong with being proud of your race and heritage. The problem only occurs when the same individuals also express a hatred towards people of different race. 

Curtis didnt kill that officer for the uplighting of white people. or because he was &quot;proud of being white&quot;. It wasnt even a race crime. He killed that man for his own purposes. If im not mistaken,the man he killed WAS white himself. 

I was admired Troy kel also, thinking of him as a warrior and a man that didnt take no shit. That is until i researched more then just watching the documentary &quot;gladiator days&quot;. Troy overheard blokeman talking about having sex with white women. In which a he then jumped in, a argument occured, things esscaleted, and they both came to the conclusion that any possible chance either one of them get. They would murder the other one. If Troy just minded his business in the first place, there would have been no problem. Troy wasnt prey&#039;ed upon or defending himself as i once thought. Hes ruined several people lives, including the young man he commited the murder in prison with. That guy was only there on a 5 year sentence.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am proud to be white, first of all.
Second, this is why hatred has grown in this country:
Back in 1900 when there was a rush from all areas of Europe to come to the United States , people had to get off a ship and stand in a long line in New York and be documented. Some would even get down on their hands and knees and kiss the ground. They made a pledge to uphold the laws and support their new country in good and bad times. They made learning English a primary rule in their new American households and some even changed their names to blend in with their new home.

They had waved goodbye to their birth place to give their children a new life and did everything in their power to help their children assimilate into one culture. Nothing was handed to them. No free lunches, no welfare, no labor laws to protect them. All they had were the skills and craftsmanship they had brought with them to trade for a future of prosperity.

Most of their children came of age when World War II broke out. My father fought along side men whose parents had come straight over from Germany , Italy , France and Japan . None of these 1st generation Americans ever gave any thought about what country their parents had come from. They were Americans fighting Hitler, Mussolini and the Emperor of Japan. They were defending the United States of America as one people.


And here we are with a new kind of immigrant who wants the same rights and privileges. Only they want to achieve it by playing with a different set of rules, one that includes the entitlement card and a guarantee of being faithful to their mother country. I&#039;m sorry, that&#039;s not what being an American is all about. I believe that the immigrants who landed on Ellis Island in the early 1900&#039;s deserve better than that for all the toil, hard work and sacrifice in raising future generations to create a land that has become a beacon for those legally searching for a better life. I think they would be appalled that they are being used as an example by those waving foreign country flags.

Third: 
Hatred is learned; it is something you grow accustomed to. I grew up in Columbia, SC. I grew up in a poor, predominantly, black neighborhood. I was bullied by blacks and latinos my childhood. Being a scared white boy in a black neighborhood will change you. I don&#039;t hate anyone, but I don&#039;t like minorities until they prove to me that I can trust them. 

Just like an abused animal, you learn to discriminate to survive. &quot;If I wanna make it out alive, then stay away from black people&quot;- thats what went through my mind when I was getting beat up and bullied as a child. 

No one grows up in HOPES of being racist, you cant always blame the racist for being the way he is. I am a behavioral psychologist now. I learned through plenty of schooling, that behavior is something that is learned, and genetic. The environment will change you. Is it your fault that you adapt to survive?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This mans actions will not go unnoticed. There will be a swift justice brought down on him. But that justice does not mean he&#039;ll be put to death or even spend the rest of his life in prison.

That is not for you or I to concede.

Speaking from experience, the mental torture this man must be going through on a daily basis is most likely more then the lot of you could ever imagine being able handle.

I spent a decade of my life in that circle, I share many of the same tattoos. But it was not fear that drove my hatred it was anger, anger resulting from the life i was forced to live. Fear does not breed hatred, life does.

Im sure many of you have never had to deal with the problems he faces or the many people like him. I say to you come down off your high horses, for it is not your job to judge a mans heart. I dare you to live one hour in his shoes.

I do not for one second condone what this man has done. But there is always room for change there is always room for redemption. I found it, and so can he. The Lord alone will decide what to do with him.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[everyone is saying this guy&#039;s not a bad person, he&#039;s just standing up for what he believes in...uhm hello, murderer much? think what would happen if someone close to you was a cop and this happened to them. go ahead and say he&#039;s not a bad person then, just cause he&#039;s sticking up for his beliefs. there are black people out there who are openly expressive of their racial pride and have killed people for needless reasons too...is anyone talking about how THEY&#039;RE not a bad person? i mean, this guy shot a cop that was only doing his job RIGHT IN THE HEAD...you people are letting all his white-power bullshit eclipse this fact. 

i think all this race, pride, skin-color stuff or any prejudices in general is total steaming bullshit. i&#039;m white, but do i give a fuck if the guy sitting next to me is? NO. everybody&#039;s got the same things inside of them, how does skin color affect that? and how can you hate someone for something they cant even help? what if a black man hated blacks too, but he couldnt change his skin color? i bet the white supremacist assholes would STILL hate him, just because he&#039;s still black. 

and for everyone talking about keeping america majorly white or whatever...europeans pretty much INVADED this land, regardless of who was already there, and claimed it as their own. what about the people who were there first? the supremacists talks about how other races are taking over our country and we need to keep it &quot;pure&quot; or whatever, but did we even give native americans a choice? no. we just burned their fucking teepees down and told them to pack it on down to oklahoma, or choose death. that doesnt sound like fair game to me. and anyway, 95% of you are irish or german or scandinavian or whatever...we immigrated here just like the blacks and latinos!! oh, i forgot...black people were sent here FORCIBLY by whites...it would only be karma at play if african americans were to take over this country. american white supremacists are the biggest hypocrites ive ever seen.

and lastly, for all who are talking about this guy just being proud of being white and not hating any race in particular...he&#039;s got swastikas all over his face. what did the nazis stand for? what did the nazis DO in order to secure what they believed in? you think they killed six million harmless men, WOMEN and CHILDREN because they were proud, or because they had hate?]]></description>

Im sure if u knew him yha he might have been a good person or might not but for the people that say &quot;hes filth, bad parenting, he deserves to die, blah blah blah&quot; are just expressing pure ignorance. But yha he killed another WHITE male and claims WHITE POWER or what ever is is that he claims that makes alot of sence right? if u disagree with that comment please please explain how u can justify claiming white power and kill another white male for no reason. I think it would be intresting to meet this guy to see how smart or not smart he actually is or what he thinks of all of this.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow, is Curtis a great person? if he is so proud of being white and preserving the white race, why did he kill a white corrections officer? someone said what a great person he is?  HE KILLED ANOTHER HUMAN BEING! do you not see that is not being a good person! what if he killed a member of your family or YOU, would you still say, OH what a great person? I am really stunned by the comments on here, I won&#039;t slam anyone, cause it won&#039;t do any good, but please think about what you say, killing doesn&#039;t make you a good person it makes you a very very bad person, a family lost a member of their own, and the guy was just doing his job, did he deserve it?  I don&#039;t think so.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It sickens me how the people on here are saying that he is just proud to be white. I don&#039;t think there is anything wrong with pride in your race, but I don&#039;t see a point in it. Be proud of who you are and what you can make of yourself. He has tons of tattoos, which I personally think are disgusting, but that is his own choice, and he can do what he wants with his own body. But that is not the point of this. He killed a man. I don&#039;t care what else he has done, be it forgery, robbery, violation of probation or otherwise, not now. He has ended someone&#039;s life, and that person will never come back, ever. That man was doing his job, and he was killed, and no one will ever see him again. Do you know what killing is? It means he is dead. Gone. Forever. This is what the focus on this man should be. The fact that you people idolize this man really brings down my hopes for the human race.

&quot;I would so date him,&quot; &quot;He&#039;s hot&quot;, etc.
   You people sicken me. I cannot believe you would find a low-life murderer attractive.

&quot;He&#039;s a good person when you get to know him&quot; etc.
   He&#039;s a murderer! Do you not know he killed a corrections officer?! A man is dead because of him and you praise him for being proud to be white? Please, he is nothing more than a hatemonger who claims his actions to be for the preservation of his race. I hope he gets the death sentence, the world will gladly shed that piece of filth away.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Has anyone here been to or know anyone that was actually in prison? My step-father spent time in prisons in 3 states (not proud but it&#039;s a fact) and I talked to him about prison rape because I was worried about him and this is what I was told, &quot; It only happens if you want it to. But how many men do you know that would admit they wanted it? Men do crazy thigs when they are caged for life like animals.&quot; When these inmates do these interviews they will tell all the bad stuff or blow things out of porportion. I am sure it happens but not to the extent of what they would want you to think.
There is crime all over. race doesn&#039;t really have anything to do with it. In most prisons the black population is higher but that is usually because the black population in that area is higher. Look in the little po-dunk towns and compare the white to black populations in those jails and prisons. 
There are racist people in the world. There always have been and always will be until people learn to tolerate one another and not be ignorant. Everyone will go to meet their maker, whoever that may be to them, Then they will answer for their actions. It is no ones job in this life to judge or make the decision on what will happen to them in the after life. 
the death of the corrections officer is a tragedy and instead of focusing on the crime people should focus on support that officers family and looking at his life and accomplishments and not just be focused on his death. He would want to be remembered for how he lived, not how he died!!]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was wondering why I felt like the human race was getting stupider. Then I found this board.

Lots of people go to jail, do their time, and get out. He made a choice to get words of hate permanently on his face. That&#039;s not courage, that&#039;s a life long decision that he&#039;ll never be able to change.

I&#039;m sure he wonders why people stare. Curt, buddy, I hate to be the one to tell you, it could say &quot;rainbows and teddybears&quot; and people would stare. Most people couldn&#039;t care less what tats are/say.

It would be like me being proud of having green eyes. Hellz, yeah! GREEN EYES! FTW! Oi!]]></description>
