Neo-Nazi in murder trial gets makeover for court – WHAT?

I found myself in the a doctors waiting room yesterday afternoon and I forgot to bring the book I am currently reading. It is a book about Catherine the Great I got from my Dad. Anyway, I searched the waiting room, the big on in the lobby, for something to read while passing the time. It would seem that as long as they make you wait they could at least get comfortable chairs and keep a few recent periodicals laying around for folks to pass the time. BUT NO, the chairs are enough to give you back problems, for which you will have to come back and see the damn doctor again. There are nothing but little brochures here, the ones the drug companies pass out along with the free sample packages of medications. Oh, da joy! So anyway, I spy this fellow reading a newspaper and keeping all the other sections very close to him. He caught me glancing his way no less than three times, I believe he could tell what I wanted. I was hopeful to have him offer a section he was not currently reading, nope. he actually pulled the pile a little closer to him when he changed sections from the Metro he was reading to the sports section. I was thinking, OK mister I will show you some sport – kicking his ass out of that chair for a glimpse of the Metro section is what I was getting ready to do. He was easily 65 years old and I was sure I could take him. Nothing – this guy was a machine so I changed seats and sat there, in silence. My new seat had me looking right at him, straight in front of me, and that was on purpose. He glanced at me more often since I was pretty much staring right at him.

After he was called back, I thought he is going to gather up the parts of the paper and carry them with him. I was not sure if he had brought it with him or whether he found it, there when he came in. Whatever the case he did leave it when he was called back to the smaller waiting room, the one in back. He did flash me a look as he walked by, I almost said thanks for the paper but decided not to. Just as I got up I noticed another person sitting there staring at the paper I was going to get. With a polite nod I asked what section he wanted, he said Metro – damn I thought. I gave him that and took the sports section. After we both had time to peruse our respective sections we traded.

Well, on the back page of the Metro section is a story titled “Neo-Nazi in murder trial gets makeover for court”. I normally could care less about such things but that title coupled with the picture of the guy was too much, it sucked me in. The subtitle read “The judge will allow a cosmetologist to cover up suspects tattoos”. What in the hell is going on in the world that while in court a guy with a 6 inch swastika tattooed on his neck gets to have a cosmetologist cover it up. Why is this story newspaper worthy I started to wonder. John Allen Ditullio is a walking bill board for the neo-nazi movement, so says Tamara Lush the writer of this article. I could tell that, just from the picture of the guy. Aside from the swastika he also has barbed wired tattooed on his face. A classy look for sure.

As I start the second paragraph I realize why this losers story has made the news, the state is being forced to pay 150 bucks a day for the cosmetologist. WHAT!!!! Judge Michael Andrews acted on a request from classy man’s lawyer. Evidently, they feel the tattoos are potentially offensive and could influence the jury’s opinion in the states death penalty case. A case, by the way, in which he is accused of breaking into his neighbors home and stabbing two people, killing one of them. It seems this joker did not have enough hate inspired tats when he committed the crime. Since he has been in custody, he has continued to get inked, in jail with even bigger and more hateful tattoos, that are more prominently displayed as well. And our tax dollars are being used to cover up his bullshit – YES OUR TAX DOLLARS! That does not seem like such a smart thing to do, especially considering you are being accused of a hate crime. Well it seems that while he does have the resources to get the tattoos applied to his worthless hide he does not have the resources to cover them up for court appearances. And our tax dollars are being used to cover up his bullshit – YES OUR TAX DOLLARS! So damn what, is all that comes to mind for me. So damn what!

His lawyer is concerned that he will not get a fair hearing and that the folks in the jury may be offended by the hate filled bullshit he has inked onto his neck and face. Although the picture does not display it evidently there is a very personal vulgarity tattooed on the other side of his neck. The writer did not allude to what that vulgarity said so one can only imagine. And our tax dollars are being used to cover up his bullshit – YES OUR TAX DOLLARS! What a dirtbag this guy appears to be. I am all for freedom of expression and his right to do whatever he wants to with his own body. BUT, BUT, BUT when I as a taxpayer am asked to pay 150 bucks a day so some cosmetologist can smear some makeup over his freedom of expression I have a problem. “Now he is asking for protection from his own decisions” Tamara writes – bullshit I write! We seem afraid to call a shitheel a shitheel anymore and anyone with those types of tattoos and is accused of a hate crime is a shitheel and I have NO problem calling it as I see it. As big an issue I have with this dirtball I really have an issue with the damn judge. Who in the hell is this guy to give away my tax money so shitheel can have makeup professionally applied? This shitheel got those tattoos of his own freewill. And our tax dollars are being used to cover up his bullshit – YES OUR TAX DOLLARS! I sure it shocked his lawyer but all the same, no one held this guy down in prison and forced these tattoos onto him. This is EXACTLY why I vote out every incumbent judge on the ballot at voting time. In my humble opinion this judge is as big a shitheel as the one he is sitting in judgment of.

This makes me sick and really pisses me off! And our tax dollars are being used to cover up his bullshit – YES OUR TAX DOLLARS!
