The Boston Strangler Commended For POPULATION CONTROL!!

June 15th 2007 00:25
Texas
In Texas legislature during 1971 a resolution was once passed honouring Albert de Salvo, otherwise known as the Boston Strangler.

The resolution congratulated him on his unconventional but successful techniques in population control.

The House approved the resolution unanimously

The resolution introduced by Rep. Tom Moore Jr., of Waco as an "April fool's joke" was passed unanimously by the House.

The resolution praises the Boston Strangler who killed 13 women during 1962-1964 for "dedication and devotion to his work that has enabled the weak and the lonely throughout our nation to achieve and maintain a new degree of concern for their future," the resolution says.

"His sincerity, diligence and cooperation has earned him [the] warm admiration and affection of his fellow practitioners," the resolution continued.

"Widely esteemed for his knowledge and unique skill, his outstanding service to the public has won him recognition as a model of active citizenship, a champion of worthwhile causes and an acknowledged leader in his singular field."

A copy of the resolution was also to be sent to De Salvo "as a token of the continued good wishes of the Texas House of Representatives."

Rep. Tom Moore Jr later withdrew the resolution.

Melissa,

that's unbelievibly sick and incredibly stupid, even as a joke and even from moronic politicians...

DeSalvo terrorized an entire city and left numerous families broken and traumatized...some of the things he did left even seasoned detectives shocked and appalled...

Leave it to Texas to do something so outrageously idiotic and insensitive!!!

Take care,

Nick
