    Now that he’s going to prison, he’s ashamed of his tattoos? That boy is toast.

    Well, he is dreaming if he thinks altering his tattoos will save him from race haters.

    It wouldn’t matter if he was multicolored, everyone in jail is in the society they wanted the whole nation to be. The only difference is that they all want to be the king and order the others to do their bidding! Of course, that isn’t possible anywhere on earth.

    If he wants his tattoos to be changed, he should pay for it himself. I am so sick of these people expecting the government to cover the cost of surgery while they are in prison. I have epilepsy and couldn’t even get the state to pay for me to go into the hospital to find out where my seizures happen and this guy wants to have the government alter his tattoos? I don’t think so. I get such a small amount of money but I still pay for my own medical care. He needs to pay his own bills.

    Interesting that Cowart wants the federal government to foot the bill for his white-supremacist tattoo removal, ya know, seeing how Cowart plotted to kill the President of the United States and that racists like him love to rant on about how President Obama’s government is too big and offers too many handouts to people and should cut spending.

    If he really does not like his tattoos, Cowart should have had them removed on his own dime prior to his conviction. I’m guessing his desire for the tattoo removal is, pardon the pun, only cosmetic. I doubt that this man has undergone a transformation from hating and violence to one of tolerance and peace.

    I am from a very mixed background. When I hear the word ” racist” which is used all too much, I have to ask myself, where do I fit in? Racist from what race? Is not America basically mixed and has been called a ‘Melting Pot?” If I had to sit back and ask myself what I was, then I could not tell you anything but” American”. I could include Indian, German, Black, Irish, Italian and English. What would you consider me but American???
    I think that Cowart should wear his badge and not let anyone remove it. Let him wear a bandage over it for the remainder of his inceration if he needs to hide it. Also keep in mind that many people are wanting the gov’t to pay for things that they do not deserve. Many. Too many. Where do we draw the line
