Paul Warner Powell
This stunning example on Caucasian manhood pictured to the left goes by the name of Paul Warner Powell. Considering that I’m about to tell you all about what Paulie did to two young teenaged girls on the afternoon of on January 29th, 1999, you can safely assume that he is a pretty evil son of a bitch. And you’d be right.
But what makes Paul Warner Powell stand out from all the other scumbags that get written up here on PYSIH? Well, Paul Powell is incredibly stupid. I’m not just talking two plus two equals five stupid here, I’m talking stuck his hand in the lawnmower, shot himself while cleaning his gun, Darwin Award winning stupid.
But before we get to Paul Warner Powell’s lack of brain power, I will have to tell you a story that will get very dark and seriously disturbing. Unfortunately it’s a necessary part of the process that you, the reader, know everything Powell did and all that’s transpired during the past ten years in order for you to appreciate his ultimate fate.
First, a little background information on the principles. In 1999 Paul Warner Powell was a 20-year-old unemployed day laborer serving a suspended sentence for petty theft. He’d taken a plea deal after being busted for burglary in 1998. This was his latest arrest in a criminal history that began with no less than thirteen convictions as a juvenile:
* Nov. 30, 1992: 18 days, Prince William County Juvenile Detention Home
* Dec. 30, 1992: 21 days, Prince William County Juvenile Detention Home
* Jan. 31, 1993: 65 days, Prince William County Juvenile Detention Home
* April 5, 1993: 10 days, Prince William County Juvenile Detention Home
* April 15, 1993: 66 days, Department of Youth and Family Services
* Sept. 29, 1993: 56 days, Prince William County Juvenile Detention Home
* Oct. 20, 1993: Two days, DeJarnette Center
* Dec. 6, 1993: 45 days, Prince William County Juvenile Detention Home
* Jan. 19, 1994: 89 days, Springwood Psychiatric Unit, Acute Care
* April 4, 1994: 44 days, Springwood Academy
* Jan. 1, 1995: 46 days, Prince William County Juvenile Detention Home
* April 17, 1995: 81 days, Beaumont Juvenile Correctional Center
* July 7, 1995: Eight days, Harriet Tubman House
Paul Warner Powell’s adult record began on May 19, 1997, when he was caught speeding 70 mph in a 55 mph zone. He was arrested thirteen (there’s that number again) more times for charges 
including possession of drug paraphernalia, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, breaking and entering, trespassing, grand larceny and writing a bad check.
Stacey Lynn Reed, 16, and Kristie Erin Reed, 14, were sisters and acquaintances of Paul Warner Powell. They lived, together with their parents, in a small brick house in the town of Manassas, Virginia. It was known that Powell wanted to date Stacey Reed, but was afraid he’d get himself in trouble if he got into a relationship with an underaged girl.
Paul Warner Powell, a self-avowed “racist and white supremacist,” found out that Stacey, who was white, was dating Sean Wilkerson, who is black. This did not please Paul Powell at all. In fact, it made him quite angry, and he decided to do something about it.
Stacey got home from school on January 29th, 1999 at about noon, and found Paul Warner Powell waiting for her. They began to argue, but Powell left when he heard that a friend of the family, Robert Culver, would arrive there soon for lunch. He returned shortly with two knives and a nine-millimeter semiautomatic pistol, waited for Culver to go back to work, and barged in on Stacey as she was talking to none other than Sean Wilkerson on the telephone.
When Stacey got off the phone, Paul Warner Powell made a pass at her, but she rebuffed him, telling him she had a boyfriend. This must have truly pissed him off, being rejected in favor of a Black kid, so he slammed Stacey to the floor, pinned her down and told her he was going to rape her.
Stacey began to fight and claw at Paul Warner Powell’s face. He had his knife out now, and told her if she continued to fight he would kill her. When she tried to leave the room, he stabbed her twice in the chest.
She stumbled into her sister Kristie’s room and collapsed to the floor, dying – Powell’s blade had severed her aorta. I guess she didn’t die fast enough for Paul Warner 
Powell, because he stomped on her neck with his boot several times until she stopped breathing.
Then he went and got himself a glass of iced tea.
Some time later, Kristie Reed arrived home to find Paul Warner Powell lying on her couch sipping iced tea. She asked Powell “where Stacey was.” He replied, “she was in her room.” Kristie walked to Stacey’s room, but Stacey was not there. Then, Kristie turned to enter her own room and saw Stacey’s body lying on the floor.
Powell, who had followed Kristie to the bedroom, ordered Kristie to go downstairs to the basement, where he ordered her to remove her clothes. She took her clothes off because she “didn’t want to die.” Powell told Kristie to lay on the floor, and then he raped her.
After Paul Warner Powell raped Kristie, he dressed himself, and, using shoelaces taken from Kristie’s shoes, tied her feet together. He also used shoelaces to tie her arms behind her back. Someone knocked on the door to the house, and Powell went upstairs, leaving Kristie naked and bound on the basement floor.
A few minutes later, Powell came back downstairs. Without saying a word, he put his hands around Kristie’s throat and strangled her until she was unconscious. Next he stabbed her in the stomach, the knife stopping within a centimeter of her aorta. He slashed her in her neck and stabbed her in the abdomen numerous times.
When he thought she was dead, he climbed those basement stairs one more time, so he could search the house for valuables. The last thing Paul Warner Powell did after his orgy of rape, violence and murder was to grab himself another glass of that yummy iced tea.
Paul Warner Powell and a friend drove to Washington, where they bought some drugs. Then they went to his friend’s girlfriend’s house, got some beer and ordered a pizza. I suppose you must work up quite an appetite after a long day committing murder and rape.
Kristie had multiple stab wounds to her neck and abdomen. She also had wounds on her wrists. The repair of the knife wounds to her neck alone required 61 sutures. But somehow through the grace of God, Kristie Reed lived.
Before Kristie went into surgery, she ID’d Paul Warner Powell as her attacker. Police officers arrested him on January 30, 1999 at his girlfriend’s house, still waiting for that pizza he and his buddy had ordered but would never come.
Now this is important. During interrogation, Paul Warner Powell admitted immediately to the murder of Stacey Reed. But he never told police the he attempted to sexually assault her. At first, he even denied raping Kristie, but during a second interview he finally confessed. He also told police that he had been at the Reed home that day to tell Stacey to stop seeing Sean Wilkerson, that they had argued, there was a struggle, and Stacey got stabbed during that struggle.
Paul Warner Powell was charged with Capital Murder, Attempted Capital Murder, Rape, Robbery, Attempted Robbery, and Use Of A Firearm. His trial was held in the Spring of 2000. Because the prosecution considered the murder of Stacey and the rape of Kristie as one continuous crime, Powell was eligible for the Death Penalty.
This seemingly obvious concept would come back to haunt prosecutors later.
On May 6th, 2000, a jury found Paul Warner Powell guilty on all charges. He was sentenced to death on August 10th, and sent to death row to await his execution. This should have been the end of the story.
It wasn’t.
On April 20th, 2001, The Virginia Supreme Court overturned Paul Powell’s conviction for Capital Murder, citing several trial errors (click here to view the judgment). The most important of those errors appear to be these two;
1. The verdict form was confusing and didn’t make it clear that jurors had the option of sentencing Paul Warner Powell to life in prison. This was a problem with all Death Penalty cases in Virginia at this time.
2. Jurors convicted Paul Warner Powell of capital murder because prosecutors considered Stacie’s slaying and the rape of her sister to be part of the same criminal enterprise. The court ruled that the rape would have had to occur before or during the murder to elevate the charge to a capital case. Of course, the court didn’t know that he lied to investigators when he told them he didn’t attempt to rape Stacey, or that Stacey was actually murdered when she resisted his attempt to rape her.
The court affirmed Paul Warner Powell’s convictions for abduction, rape, attempted capital murder, and grand larceny for the attack. His case was sent back to Prince William County Circuit Court for a new trial, in which Powell would be retried on first-degree murder charges and wouldn’t be eligible for the Death Penalty.
It looked like Paul Warner Powell was going to slip out of the hangman’s noose. That wasn’t right, because he deserved to die for what he did to Stacey and Kristie.
So remember how I told you all at the beginning of this story that Paul Warner Powell is incredibly stupid? Well, now is the time when his complete lack of common sense and intelligence really gets to shine.
Knowing that his “cleverness” has allowed him beat a Death Penalty rap, he couldn’t help himself from telling someone! He sent this letter to one of his ex-girlfriends:
“About when you asked me why I wouldn’t do to you what I did to Stacie, I couldn’t ever hurt you because you mean to much to me. See Stacie didn’t mean anything to me. She was a nigger lover and some of her wannabe skin head friends were supposed to kill me. That’s part of the reason why she died. Almost everything that happened in that house was planned. The only thing that wasn’t planned was trying to fuck Kristie. What was supposed to happen was, Stacie was supposed to die, and did, Kristie was supposed to die and then I was going to wait for their mom and stepdad to get home and I was going to kill them and then I was going to take their mom struck and then I was gonna go to North Carolina and knock this dude off that stole all of my clothes and everything else I owned. I had been thinking about doing it for along time but I could never bring myself to do it. I don’t know what happened to make me finally do it. I feel bad for doing it. Stacie was a good kid.”
That was pretty stupid, to send this letter, what with the new trial coming up and all. But this was nothing compared to the next bonehead move he made.
Like a lot of people do when they finally defeat their main adversary, Paul Warner Powell wanted to gloat. He really wanted to rub the face of the Commonwealth’s Attorney of Prince William County, Paul Ebert, in dog shit. So Powell took paper and pen in hand, and he began to write. And when he was finished, he put the paper containing what he had written into an envelope, sealed the envelope, placed a stamp on it, and mailed it off to Mr. Ebert.
When Paul Ebert, the Commonwealth’s Attorney of Prince William County, opened Paul Warner Powell’s letter and began to read it, I can only imagine the emotions he must have been feeling as his eyes moved down the page…
“Mr. Ebert,
“Since I have already been indicted on first degree murder and the Va. Supreme Court said that I can’t be charged with capital murder again, I figured I would tell you the rest of what happened on Jan. 29, 1999, to show you how stupid all of y’all mother fuckers are.
“Y’all should have known that there is more to the story than what I told by what I said. You had it in writing that I planned to kill the whole family. Since I planned to kill the whole family, why would I have fought with Stacie before killing her? She had no idea I was planning to kill everybody and talked and carried on like usual, so I could’ve stabbed her up at any time because she was unsuspecting.
“I had other plans for her before she died. You know I came back to the house after Bobby’s lunch break was over and he had went back to work. When I got back, she was on the phone so I went inside and I laid down on the couch. When the cab came to bring me my pager, I ran out of the house and she jumped and got off the phone and came off the porch to see why I ran out of the house like I did.
“When the cab left we went in the house. I laid on the couch again and she went to her room and got her clothes and went downstairs to do her laundry. When she went downstairs, I got up and shut and locked the back door and went downstairs. We talked while she put her clothes in the wash. We continued talking when she had everything in the wash and I reached over and touched her tit and asked if she wanted to fuck. She said no, because she had a boyfriend.
“I started arguing with her because she had never turned anybody down because of having a boyfriend.
“We started walking upstairs, arguing the whole time. When we got upstairs we went to her room and she turned the radio off. After she turned the radio off I pushed her onto her bed and grabbed her wrists and pinned her hands down by her head and sat on top of her. I told her that all I wanted to do was fuck her and then I would leave and that we could do it the easy way or the hard way.
“She said she would fuck me so I got up. After I got up, she got up and started fighting with me and clawed me face. We wrestled around a little and then I slammed her to the floor. When she hit the floor I sat on top of her and pinned her hands down again. She said she would fuck me and I told her that if she tried fighting with me again, I would kill her.
“When I got up she stood up and kept asking me why I was doing this and all I kept saying is take your clothes off. Finally she undid her pants and pulled them down to her ankles. She was getting ready to take them the rest of the way off and the phone rang. When she heard the phone she pulled her pants back up and said she had to answer the phone. I pushed her back and said no. She said that she wouldn’t say anything about me being there and I told her no and to take her clothes off.
“She tried to get out of the room again and I pushed her back and pulled out my knife. I guess she thought I was just trying to scare her and that I wouldn’t really stab her because she tried to leave again.
“When she got to me and tried to squeeze between me and the door jam I stabbed her. When I stabbed her, she fell back against the door jam and just looked at me with a shocked look on her face.
“When I pulled the knife out she stumbled a couple steps and fell in her sister’s room. I walked over and looked at her. I saw that she was still breathing so I stepped over her body and into the bedroom. Then I put my foot on her throat and stepped up so she couldn’t breath. Then I stepped down and started stomping on her throat. Then I stepped back onto her throat and moved up and down putting more pressure to make it harder to breathe.
“When I didn’t see her breathing anymore, I left the room and got some iced tea and sat on the couch and smoked a cigarette. You know the rest of what happened after that point.
“I would like to thank you for saving my life. I know you’re probably wondering how you saved my life, so I’ll tell you.
“You saved my life by fucking up. There were 2 main fuck-ups you made that saved me. The first was the way you worded my capital murder indictment. The second was the comment you made in your closing argument when you said we won’t know because he won’t tell us.
“One more time, thank you! Now y’all know everything that happened in that house at 8023 McLean St. on Jan. 29, 1999.
“I guess I forgot to mention these events when I was being questioned. Ha Ha! Sike!
“I knew what y’all would be able to prove in court, so I told you what you already knew. Stacey was dead and no one else was in the house so I knew ya’ll would never know everything she went through unless she came back to life.
“Since the Supreme Court said I can’t be charged with capital murder again, I can tell you what I just told you because I no longer have to worry about the death penalty. And y’all are supposed to be so goddamn smart. I can’t believe that y’all thought I told you everything.
“Well, it’s too late now. Nothing you can do about it now so fuck you you fat, cocksucking, cumguzzling, gutter slut. I guess I’ll see your bitch ass on Dec. 18 at trial because I’m not pleading to shit. Tell the family to be ready to testify and relive it all again because if I have to suffer for the next 50 or 60 years or however long then they can suffer the torment of reliving what happened for a couple of days.
“I’m gone. Fuck you and anyone like you or that associates with people like you. I almost forgot, fuck your god, too. Jesus knows how to suck a dick real good. Did you teach him?
“Well, die a slow, painful, miserable death. See ya punk.
“Do you just hate yourself for being so stupid and for fuckin’ up and saving me?
“Sincerely,
“Paul Powell.”
Talk about mixed emotions. He must have been torn between the horror of the subject matter and the realization that Paul Warner Powell was one DUMB son of a bitch.
You see, Paul Warner Powell believed that he was permanently ineligible for the Death Penalty as far a the Stacey Reed case was concerned, because of a thing called double jeopardy. And as things stood the way they were at the time he was convicted, yes, he was.
But what Paul Powell didn’t understand was that because his original conviction had been overturned, it was, in legal terms, as if it had never happened. And because they had Powell’s letter, the prosecution had what amounted to a confession to a new crime in their hands. Remember, Powell never told authorities that he had tried to rape Stacey, and that she’d gotten stabbed while trying to resist him.
In other words, he had been convicted in the first trial for something that never really happened – he’d lied to the detectives, and they believed him because they had no reason not to. Now that that conviction had been thrown out, they were free to re-indict Paul Powell on entirely new charges. Charges that made him eligible for the Death Penalty again.
Just to be sure, Paul Ebert sent two detectives to ask Paul Powell if he had sent the taunting letter to Ebert. Not only did Paul Warner Powell confirm that he sent it, but he proudly bragged to them that every fucking word of it was true.
Stupid…
But Paul Warner Powell wasn’t finished yet. Not satisfied with the damaged he thought he had caused, Powell sent a letter to Lorraine Reed, the mother of Stacey and Kristie. Powell enclosed a photograph of a partially nude woman. Powell wrote:
“Lorraine,
“I was wondering if you might be able to help me think of something. I found this picture in a magazine and it kinda looks like someone I know or used to know, but I can’t think of the persons name.I think you know the person too, so I was wondering if you could tell me the name of the person this picture resembles so I can quit racking my brain trying to think of it? I would appreciate it. If you don’t know the person I’m talking about, ask Kristie or Kelly Welch because I know they know who I’m thinking of. If you talk to the person I’m talking about, please give her my address and tell her to write me.”
The partially nude woman shown in the photograph resembled Lorraine Reed’s daughter, Stacey.
Stupid and cruel…
Imagine Paul Warner Powell’s surprise when he found himself on trial for his life again in January of 2003. Mainly because of his own big mouth, Powell was convicted of Capital Murder on January 16th, 2003, and sentenced to death the next day.
After years of delay caused by endless appeals, The United States Supreme Court announced on January 26th, 2010 that it would not hear Paul Powell’s appeal, effectively ensuring his execution will go forward this Spring. As if to hammer home that fact, today Virginia announced Powell’s execution date will be March 18th, 2010.
So ends the saga of Paul Warner Powell, a man who is a legend in his own mind, but an idiot in everyone else’s. He has already selected the electric chair as his mode of execution – another brilliant decision by this undiscovered Rhodes Scholar. Thank God that, for the rest of us, it will surely be his last.
Note: The young girl on the right in the second picture is Kristie Erin Reed, Stacey’s little sister and Paul Warner Powell’s second victim. If you look closely at the left side of her neck, you can still see several scars from Powell’s savage attempt to cut her throat. I personally had a very hard time with this picture – It brought the crime to life and shook me up pretty badly.

Sending a blatant, mocking confession to the prosecutor of your murder trial because you’re too dumb to understand double jeopardy laws: Priceless.
lmao! – This comment is priceless too man. I’m still giggling at it.
by the way max,bad ass cool fuckin mug dude
Priceless indeed…I dont get why he gets to live till march..lets pull the switch now and get it over with!
I dunno, I kinda like the idea of this guy having to sit there for a couple of months fearing for his life, to give him a taste of what his victims went through — AND, on top of that, he gets to fester in the knowledge that it was his own stupidity that killed him.
If only more POS were like him…..
I agree Lena. There’ve been very few times when I’ve actually wished I could pull the switch myself. This is one of them. I’ll never understand why it takes so long to get these things done. It’s not like they’re so busy executing people that they have to fit him into their busy schedule. And there’s certainly not a shred of doubt that he’s guilty. On top of that, our taxes are paying for this p.o.s.’s upkeep. Bah!
I completely agree. i thought the same thing myself! I hope he gets raped a few dozen times before dying wow what a pos
He chose the electric chair over lethal injection. That option is available only in 4 states. That should start his burning a few minutes before he ends up in hell.
Remember when Percy did not wet the sponge before Delacroix’s electrocution….? I would love to see that happen to this skin bag of mostly water!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry kid’s Green Mile reference…
deedee I love that book and I cried at that part because Delacroix wasn’t a low life POS like this guy!!! I hate this guy, how do people like this exist?! I am SO celebrating on March 18th…
I hated Percy. He was a pompous little mangina. I like the part where “Billy the Kid” strokes his face and grabs his crotch. “awww listen to him squishin’ in his pants.” lol
I rarely hope someone gets raped in prison.
But Jesus fucking Christ do I hope this guy gets raped before he dies.
are people still allowed to witness executions? I don’t they we are, but in cases like this… I think it would be ok for the victims whole family to witness. What a punk, can’t get your own ass, so you have to steal it. Lame. I think this p.o.s. doesn’t even deserve hell, i think he deserves to be stuck in limbo.
I would love to go, I would laugh my ass off!!!
I would to actually. I’d suggest video taping them, and scaring ‘kids’ straight. Kids like in their late teens or early 20′s, hell maybe even adults who are repeat offenders.
First PYSIH field trip? We can all yell “HE’S COOKIN’ NOW!” like Wild Bill.
OMG! that was hilarious!
“You’ve been declared competent, son, ‘know what that means? ‘Means you gonna ride the lightning. Ha ha. “
Oooh yes! Let’s go!
someone chuck a hat in the ring and donate some money for me to come on the field trip………no fair you guys get all the fun :(
…and no..will not travel by boat….lol
*clears throat* “Dead man walkin’, Dead man, Dead man walkin’, we gotta dead man walkin’ here.”
The family of the victim(s) are allowed to witness the execution if they choose to.
FANTASTIC! I hope they chose to. I would, I’d ask to be close enough to smell his flesh burn.
They are going to be there. I just talked to Lorraine a little while ago, and she sent this article to me. I know the family well, and attended both trials. 3/18/10 will be a great day for this family, and the world, to be rid of this animal.
Are you a friend of the family? I have been thinking so much of these people. What a messedup thing to go through. Their daughter was just starting out in life when this asshole took it from her.
He’ll never get to hurt anyone again. Good for the family, I wish them the best.
and screw his last request.
Yes, you can witness executions as a private citizen in Virginia.
In fact, one of my friends is going to be a witness at Paul Powell’s execution. All one needs to do is be aged 18 or older, a Virginia resident and not have a criminal record nor work for the DOC.
Just contact Greensville Correctional Center and ask for the operations office, then tell that office you want to get on the witness list. They’ll send you a form to complete and return and then you just wait.
I am soooooooooooooooooo glad that he’s as stupid as he is evil. There are times that the universe provides a nice karmic whack to these creatures.
As for his letter to Mr. Ebert, in his own words, he admits that he know what trauma he is forcing the victim’s family to go through with the court and testifying. I’ve never believed any of the murdering bastards who have had eleventh hour conversions or “found Jesus” and have asked for the forgiveness of the families of their victims. Posturing and pleading, to the very last moment.
To all the bleeding hearts who claim that these pathetic puss-filled skin suits have “rights”, please read these ‘from-the-heart’ letters from Paul, currently the poster child for the terminally stupid. Donations beginning in March…..
Oh, as a bleeding heart, he does still have a few right, but I’d soberly throw the switch, pull the trigger or even pedal a bike attached to a generator of some kind, to insure this thing is removed from society.
pedal a bike!!!!! Holy crap you are funny!!!LOLOLOL<Hahahahahahaha
Pedal faster, Jason! Pedal faster!
(cue bicycle pedaling music from The Wizard of Oz)
Pedal the bike? Oh, you got me ROFLMAO! You can’t be the kind of bleeding heart I usually encounter. In fact, you sound just like my sister (who, on occasion can be just liberal enough to give me a cerebral stroke!) Even as liberal as she can be, when she read the article, before she got to the *good* part, she was starting to seethe. Then I said, keep going, read on. She got to the delicious part where he DUH wrote out the confession and then bragged to the DA’s investigators, and laughed like a crazy person. :-) She liked the comment (Priceless) and said, “I’d volunteer to take the M-f*ker out myself.”
So I guess he does have rights, like the right to be stupid, the right to leave the planet, etc. etc. :-D
Almost forgot…
Excellent piece of writing Max.
I’m baffled and speechless…
Seriously?
You can’t make this shit up.
I’ve never posted anything on this site before. I’ve read a lot of stories that’ve disgusted me, and still make me hurt inside to think of them.
But when I scrolled down and I saw that girl’s picture, all I could do was focus on her throat and just stare.
I’m glad he’s going to fry.
YEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
If only every scumbag, evil rapist/murderer would take care of his OWN death penalty in such a fabulous fashion like this MORON did!
While this made me very sad about the death of the poor girl, it made me SOOOOO happy that he’s going to pay the price in two months!
Now he can write idiotic letters from hell!
I wish all criminals were this stupid. Luckily this one is pretty much already dead.
What a twisted fucker.
Paul, bro, you are the ultimate idiot. An asshole’s asshole. All at the same time I feel disgusted, angry, saddened, elated (for the death conviction), and I’m laughing at your idiocy. I’m so happy that you are leaving us and on a journey to hell. You are the punk bitch now aren’t you you dumb fuck!
Max, really are you sure this isn’t a joke? As Forrest Gump’s Momma says “Stupid is as stupid does”….I can hardly believe this is a real story! I have met stupid before but WOW!!!!!!
yes its real ..I was friends with stacie in middle school and her sister too ….thank god this is almost over for them
ok, I’m amazed at the fact that 5% vote that this shitbag doesn’t deserve hell. Someone out there has a sense of humour..A bit twisted I must say.
As one of the 5 percent, I wouldn’t call it a sense of humor, but rather a disbelief in the reality of “Hell”. Heaven, God, unicorns, any other myth you might wish to add gets lumped into the same category.
If the question were whether I believed he deserved to burn for all eternity (if there were such a thing) I would still vote “No”. Eternity is theoretically endless, and a human life span is obviously not, so it hardly seems an equitable punishment for any deed no matter how horrible.
You obviously don’t have children or you would know that eternity is not long enough for the person who murders your child to burn in hell.
No, I have children. I also have a sense of equity and refuse to respond based merely on emotion. No rational argument can equate an average human lifetime with eternity. It cannot be done. You are appealing to emotion, as are most of the replies contained herein. This is understandable as this appears to be the general purpose of this site, however it doesn’t change my opinion.
Wow, you’ll get a nosebleed in that lofty intellectual eminence you’re sitting in.
you’re opinion sucks :P
Alas….
There are those that would say that the lifespan of the soul equals eternity… *Slaps herself in the face* No preachy! No! Bad!
Assuming there were such a thing as a “soul”, I would imagine no human being could actually reach it physically, no matter how long the knife. You are then left with the unlawful ending of a very finite existence, and while this is horrible it again cannot equate to an eternity.
P.S. BURN motherfucker.
i do love a story with a happy ending, too bad someone else had to die too though.
Oh god I only hope his girlfriend(s) come out of the woodwork for this one.
It is scary to see people have no fear for anything. I don’t think this guy cared at all about death. All he cares about is making other people suffer, and being as evil as possible. When our goverment stopped fearing God so did its people!
Our government has always been driven by a belief in the Judeo/Christian God, Penny. This isn’t about anyone’s religion, so why introduce such a controversial subject?
I am a completely godless person, and proudly so. I don’t do what this monster did, nor would I ever do anything even remotely so selfish and horrifying. This has to do with a monsters sense of entitlement and superiority, not a god.
Our country’s leaders not setting the example that you have to answer to anyone has definetly set our country in a downward spiral. I did’t bring religion into it either, God is not a religion. Religion is more like a type of diet. There are lots of ways to live a healthy happy life, but they all stem from eating right and exercising. I think the reason why this counrty has been so great is because they supported a christian life style. Now days they are yanking bibles from class rooms and court houses. You may not agree with “God” but you have to agree the basic rules to live by make good common sense for a happy life.
Bibles don’t belong in classrooms just like calculus doesn’t belong in church. If I had a child and they had bibles in classrooms, I’d pull my child from school. School is about proven facts, not spiritualism. Spiritualism is very personal and should never be a part of a mandatory curriculum.
When I’m in a hotel, I hand that book to the housekeeper and request it not re-enter my room until I’m gone. It’s oppressive and unnecessary.
This country isn’t about the christian lifestyle. Many people abhor the christian lifestyle based on principle and live in this country because, supposedly, we have freedom of religion. Christians aren’t the only ones or even the first ones to suggest it’s important to be a good person.
Calculus books do belong in churches. It’s the closest thing to white magic that we’ve been granted to see so far. Modern medicine, engineering, and sometimes even poetry are predicated on the fundamentals of Calculus.
A Bible has a place in schools, in an old testament lit class and a biblical history class. I’d also prefer that if they were going to teach the Bible, they’d use more original copies and use it to teach Hebrew, Latin and a way to de-program and de-brainwash, people from propaganda.
Are they teaching the bible in school now? For real? I’m an Army Brat, went to about five different schools. I remember art and music class. Oooh, and P.E…that one sucked! Don’t remember them trying to cram Christ down my throat though, huh. Must be a new thing. Oh well, to each their own. But for me personally, I must say… Gooooo Team Jesus!!! =)
P.S… Is it known what time of the day on March 18th that they’ll be flipping the switch?
I can read Hebrew. I learned in Hebrew School on Sundays. I used to be able to both print and hand-write Hebrew.
The only thing is, I can’t tell you what the words mean. I spent a long time learning to read Hebrew as a child. Learning how to read but not understand Hebrew, and the fact that they put so much emphasis on lip service and blind faith rather than nurturing an understanding of what I was saying to God in his supposed earthly home (the temple) were some of the many things that turned me against organized religion. How can you believe it if you can’t even understand it? Too much blind faith is required in religion. I’m just not that kind of person.
If normal people could learn all ancient languages and read the original texts of these holy writings, I wonder what kind of world this would be. If only places like the Library of Alexandria, the Library of Constantinople, and the library at Caesarea Maritima had survived, things might be very different.
vcbecky,
My wife jokes, I’m only a few more years from founding a cult, but let’s look at it this way.
1. I believe in a higher being, because I believe that there is a way to exceed the limitations of 4 dimensions, through science and progress, and given that once that is achieved, it always has been achieved, then I have no problem believing in a just and reasonable God. You may skip the rest of my Christian beliefs and their “Sorting Hat” style philosophy (“Not Slytherin, eh?”), but the simple idea is, you can still be an optimist about the good of a human being’s truest pursuit, and not be an atheist or even truly secular.
2. Organized religion has been the largest, most successful con game and side show in the history of humanity. The crazy monkey faced human that first stuck a feather up his bum 6 million years ago and invented a faith in which he received offerings can be blamed for the dark complexities or he can be praised for instilling in humanity, a quest for an easier way to survive. I agree that Organized religion is a giant self-perpetuating crock of bull. Its influence on American politics and the politics of the world drive me nuts, but you don’t throw out one of the longest, and most lovingly poetic works in ancient fiction, with some direct historical accounts in it, because a bunch of nut jobs abuse every word on every page. I despise Hinkley for killing John Lennon, but I still love and desire to be a true Catcher in the Rye.
3. I think the real key to breaking the hold of fundamentalist Christians on the hearts and minds of humanity is not in quelling their mad desire to teach the Bible, but to teach the bible as we would any other literary work–Deconstruction. Deconstruction changes the very fabric of a work’s interpretation. It is to literary review what the definition of the first derivative is to Calculus. Sprinkle some logic into the mix, and no one would watch Fox News, vote for Sarah Palin, or for that matter vote for Obama. What someone says would be dissected for every iota between the lines and a discerning public would emerge, ready to shape a God who does not condone rape and pillaging or the desecration and ingestion of children by bears for making fun of a bald man. If the Bible is going to be an elective, its instruction should be entrusted to its most scathing, yet fair of critics and at the same time, admired for what it is, and then advanced past as only a fraction of our spiritual growth. Once upon a time, kidnapping and raping someone’s 6 year old daughter meant you had to give up a prized lamb as a bribe to the local temple. Now it means you end up on PYSIH, and probably go to jail.
Jason, you’re the kind of person I would be willing to study world religions with. You should seriously consider a teaching position. It’s so tough to address holy writing from a neutral mindset. It’s tough to keep people interested without setting them off. Religion, before politics, is the most difficult subject to maintain peace over, which strikes me as a gigantic oxymoron.
Your wife is right about the cult. I would subscribe to your newsletter. ;) Many of your ideas reflect my own, but you always articulate them better than I ever could. Thank you for taking the time to post back!
I respect your opinion, because I know how badly the bible’s teachings have been manipilated throughout history to suit the needs of men. However, when the bible and other christian principles began to play a smaller role in goverment, so did the fundamental ideas that the bible set. Things like treating others how you wish to be treated and helping your neighboors are lessons that went out the window with the bible. If your so happy about getting the bible out of schools, why would you choose only the bible? There are other books that have opinions which you don’t agree with. When you took God out of goverment and schools and didnt replace it with something that would work better, you created a bunch of nuts running around with no fear of anything, no one to answer to, and now we are where we are. What’s the worst that can happen to them? Death? They dont care anymore, because why should they? They can treat people like crap, they can murder and abuse childeren, and whats the worst that can happen, they have to spend time alone in a cell with 3 meals a day until one day they go to sleep and not wake up. What is your idea that would work better? I support any idea that helps people make better decsions in life.
Why do we need to replace the Bible with anything? The Quran isn’t taught in schools. Neither is The Diamond Sutra, The Guru Granth Sahib or The Satanic Bible. College courses offer them because people of college age are presumed to be adults and capable of making their own decisions. My local college has a course on Athiesm, Witchcraft and The Simpsons too. There’s a course they used to offer that went into The Malleus Maleficarum, and its history in the witchcraft persecutions in Europe. Teach it, sure! But teach it to a mature mind that can truly handle the information.
Crime existed before the Bible and it will exist after because that is also human nature. The Bible made no universal change to that nature.
Opinions are fine. Young minds thrive on opinions. I feel it is deeply disrespectful of other religions to teach the bible in secular public schools.
Do you really feel kindness, generosity, understanding, charity, love and all those wonderful things didn’t exist before The Bible? These are natural human characteristics. There are plenty of non-christian people in the world who embody what you would consider to be christian traits without ever having heard of the christian book. Why does good have to be christian influenced? Why can’t it just be ‘good’ without relating to religion?
true beck,i tend to plug in some blacksabbath and acdc myself.lol.and let there be rock.
I approve of the metal. I bring the metal with me to every club I play. High Horns, my friend. ;)
Bible wielding monsters on both sides of the civil war, raped, murdered and desecrated this country in ways nearly unimaginable while they invented the precepts for modern war. God doesn’t enter a classroom or a courthouse because a bible rests on a table or a false prophet proclaims his misguided understandings. Our leaders wrap themselves in God’s words because Americans have grown too complacent in our embrace of logic. Just because a politician claims Jesus is their personal friend, does not mean they know what they’re doing. It did not work for George Bush and it would not work for Obama or Sarah Palin.
God isn’t on anyone’s side, prayer isn’t a solution to real problems, and a suicide bomber will kill men, women and children whether they’re praying or not. Intelligent and sometimes atheist men and women serve this country as valiantly as those who bear a medallion of Saint Christopher or a Star of David, and a fish magnet named truth is no more faithful, religious or holy than the Darwin magnet that might eat it. Thomas Jefferson was a far from holy man, but his Bible is better than the King James version by a long shot. It is more secular than the NIV, and more honest than anything Pat Robertson has ever touched or read from. It is not a nation’s godlessness but their ignorance that hurts it worst.
I am a Christian, in as much as I believe in something greater than myself, the poetry and depth of the words of Christ, and the promise of salvation from a savior that says get off your knees and work even on the Sabbath to save your ass. Reading the Bible is an important thing I hope most men and women get to do, but it is not the life’s work of any citizen or the nation they serve. It is an informative and helpful work that is being expanded upon every single day in the 1′s and 0′s of modern technology, the vaccines that heal by prevention and the genetically engineered crops that feed billions.
I do not believe that men who answer only no in a Senate or a President who only speaks when it is too late to save his programs are any more or less godly than I, I merely think they are more lost, more ignorant and less able to see what needs to be done. I do not believe that mere prayer will make this nation great again, will put bullets in the weapons of war, or will save us from our own greed. I think that if we’re to preach to one another, then I must surely say, you don’t understand the real problem, and are failing to give any reasonable credit where credit is due.
I disagree with your thoughts on prayer will not solve real problems. The fact of meditating, bringing awareness, and evaluating a problem (praying) solves real problems everyday. Things arent magically happening because i pray, but my mind is open to possabilities that I have to fix or deal with the problem i am praying for. I understand that not everyone looks at God in my terms, not most christians. They tend to think that there way is the only way. I tend to think we were all created equally, but not the same, so why should we all have to diet the same? Some diets are good for you and make good sense, some diets might make you loose weight, but they are harmful to your body. In the end, you have to have some kind of plan for happiness.
Prayer is your personal relationship with God. It is not a medicine to give to others, it is not meditation(meditation and prayer are different disciplines and uniquely different words and concepts).
Pray is derived from a word that means to earnestly, beg.
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=pray
The very concept of modern prayer, even among Christians is derived from an entreaty for forgiveness and a substitution of begging for action.
Meditation has as its roots, the measure of something. The honest estimation of the limits of a concept, idea or fixture. http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?term=meditation
I don’t need God to smite my enemies, I need to either figure out how to make them at worst neural parties and at best my allies. Prayer doesn’t do that. Begging saints, Mary and others for their intercession, instead of Christ, I think you can agree is an interesting and unsupported theology. I don’t want God to cure all illnesses, we need some of these illnesses in order to learn ways to deal with others. The time of simple, wave your hand miracles is at an end. It’s time to get to work and stop begging for handouts.
To your neo-christian saw about Christianity not being a religion, that shows more ignorance of the language than you may be prepared to accept.
http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=religion&searchmode=none
This is my religion, and I doubt you can after reading this find any resistance to that defining your conduct indicating a belief in a divine power.
You should invest your “talents” wisely…
I’ll be sure to wear my party shoes for the Happy Dance on March 18th. Drinks are on me, everybody! The only down side here is that the execution won’t be televised in prime time.
Too bad it is not being televised! We could get together have an electrocution party and root for our team….
I’ll bring the pitcher of margaritas
If the drinks are on you, I will grill up some marinated lamb chops, whip up some of my homemade garlic mashed potatoes, and bake some chocolate chip cookie bars to enjoy with those drinks. :D
Damn girlfriend! BRING IT ON!
Mrs. Antichrist…..PERFECT comment.
And personally, what moron would choose the electric chair over lethal injection?? Just showing more of his stupidity!!
I cant believe that he did this…I hate to say it but that was my homeboy growing up as kids i used to sneek his ass in my room so he had a place to sleep…But i guess he is going to get what he deservs
Why didn’t he have a place to sleep?
Thomas,
I think you’re just lucky he didn’t want to have sex with you…
IF ANYONE HAS A COMMENT ON MY COMMENT THEN FEEL FREE TO COMMENT ME OR E MAIL ME spunkywhiteone0679@yahoo.com come holla
I wonder if he ever realized what finally did him in? Is he smart enough to realize that the letters in his own hand were what finally killed him?
Oh yes…. oh yes, he was aware, because it appears they were read into the court transcripts.
Can you imagine the defense attorney at that instantaneous moment? He knew the bets he could hope for was that the baliff prevented the jury from killing his client and him for defending him.
We forgot the other deadly sin here – pride – he’s proud of what he thought he got away with – so pride couped with stupidity is his downfall.
I’d really like to see a different form of execution for such a POS given that he was goingto leave the younger sister for dead; I am sure that her pain and wait was for hours…..
Misquamicut State Beach in Westerly RI has a no flush bio-toilet system – basically shit falls into a deep pit with composting chemicals at hte bottom. I’d like to see him placed there.
The stink would be bad – it’s vented near the top, but he’d be way down there. I am sure his feet would be cold at first, but the pain would set in. At some point people would start shitting and pissing – he’d be busy trying to avoid that for some hours. Then thirst would set in – maybe a few bleeding hearts may drop him a soda or water and maybe something to eat…. Let him last a while longer down there…. But at some point the fatigue would set in – he may be luckey enogh to be able to set down in it with his head above… or maybe not. I am sure that either the cold will get him or if it’s warm his body will start to rot. It will be a slow trip to hell, but a good start for such a POS.
Howdy Fred – I just came across this comment of yours, and your idea about adding pride to his deadly sin is a really good idea. In fact, I’m going to edit the story so it includes both “Wrath” and “Pride” now. Paul Powell was one arrogant little smart ass, and that was, as you said, his fatal flaw. His pride blinded him to the danger of telling the PROSECUTOR the complete details of his crime. Seems like common sense to keep your mouth shut to most of us, but ol’ Paul, he though he was smarter than everyone. How great would it have been to have been a fly on the wall when he realized that it was his letter that was going to cost him his life? Woohoo, I would pay money for a tape of that Fred….
Hey boss – look at me – I figured out a way to look at porn pics while here at work – I beat your filter HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
I love Boobs! Looking at boobs
What are you writing on that pink pad????
LOL – Boobies!
Looks like you’re finally getting that promotion you’ve been waiting for Fred. Yeah, that’s must be what he’s writing. :>)
na-na na-na-na-na hey-hey-hey GOODBYE!
Wow, if anyone deserves to die by the hands of the state, its this bitch ass mutcherfucker. Wonder how many times hes been raped since he got to prison…
Rot In Pieces Mr. POwell, Enjoy burning in hell…
Scumbag is going to be 6 feet under.
I giggled my fool ass off reading about how smart this guy thought he was. It would have been awesome to see the look on his face at the very moment he realized that his *own words* were going to be his downfall. After he was so smug and insulting!!! Bwahahahaha!!!! Seeing that girls throat really made it clear what kind of guy this is. He deserves the DP BIGtime!! One can only hope he feels the burn on the way out…..
“…today Virginia announced Powell’s execution date will be March 18th, 2010.”
Shit, I think I might just take a couple of vacation days then! On the 18th, a nice party at which I will get completely hammered toasting to everyone who helped send this stupid evil asswipe to his death, and the 19th will be a day of rest and aspirin to recover from the 18th!
Yeah! Who else is coming?
ok I’ve been into quotes this week, due to some stuff, and I think I came accross one for this fucktard….
“Nothing is so common as the wish to be remarkable”….guess he got both, a common pathetic go at life and just remarkable stupidity….(god I love karma)
What a dumbass POS!!
Does anyone have this POS’s address? I’d LOVE to write him a few letters before he get’s his due, it would only be fitting!
The Reed family remains in my thoughts and prayers, and may you find peace Kristie…
Personally… I think dropping him in the middle of gangbanger terrority would be a more fitting punishment.
My thoughts are with Stacey & Kristie’s family and friends. So many years of pain, uncertainty and suffering because of this POS Scumbag. May his last few days be full of horrible nightmares and so much fear he shits on himself. You Fucker suffer!!!
To Kdogg:
How about handing this idiot over to Al Qaeda!
Not a bad idea. Just send him away to Afghanistan or Yemen, where Al-Qaeda is very active there.
I know that the saying goes that “we should pray for mercy, not justice,” but mercy was extended, and justice will be served. I hope that Powell’s execution brings Kristie and her family the closure and healing they so desperately need. Too bad the permanent scars on her body won’t disappear when he dies. That would be one hell of a miracle, wouldn’t it?
and this is….Idiocracy.
:)
As a Black American, I generally steer clear of using ‘Ebonics’ out of fear that I’ll be stereotyped by those who feel the use of vernacular is equivalent to being uneducated. Given the proud racist spirit of this hell-bound assclown, however, I find it delightfully appropriate here… On behalf of myself and the many victims of Paul Warner Powell, I’d like to extend to him a very sincere ‘BITCH, YOU STUPID’ from the bottom of our hearts. HAPPY MARCH 18TH, WORLD!!!
Here,Here!!!!
Alright!
Best.
Post.
EVAR!
Fucking brilliant ABeautifulLife. Ebonics is cool…
Maybe we can send him a bunch of mama jokes – it seems to me that he could use some cheering up.
Better send ‘ em fast!! **rimshot**
And I, like everyone here, am completely unapologetic for cracking jokes about the fact that this piece of scum is about to die. Kristie Reed should get to flip the switch.
(Hi there, vcbecky!)
Apologetic? Please—Powell’s mother should be apologetic for the day she gave birth to the little murdering weasle.
You’re definitely one of my favorite people here on PYSIH ABeautifulLife, because you share from the heart (at least, I think so). Say what ever you want, and I’ll handle anyone who can’t take a little honest expression of ideas and feelings.
*MUAH*!
I would love to see them plant this guy outside in his cage for an hour or so, so those of us who know what a dumbass he is can stand around, point at him and laugh hysterically. Ridicule really hurts these kinds of monsters especially if they know it’s true. I’d love to heap some on him just before he dies. No tomatoes, no weapons, just pointing, taunting and tear-inducing hysterical laughter. We could set up a pay bar and make it a sort of party atmosphere. Proceeds to the victims of course! It will give him more pain than if he was raped and murdered Hammurabi – style.
You wrote a beautiful comment!
Not only does he have no respect for human life, but on top of that, he looks like he fell out of the ugly tree, and hit EVERY SINGLE BRANCH on the way down… Could we hope to get him out of the universe any FASTER???
Yessssss!!!
This reminds me of the second hand story I heard when a friend who lived in Florida at the time had a barbeque to celebrate Ted Bundy’s execution. The fired up the grill, took a Ken doll, and tossed it on the flames.
Probably was, the burgers and dogs then tasted like plastic. So if anyone does this, burgers first, then Ken dolls.
What we should all do is write him teasing letters about his stupidity and impending death in the same format as his letter to the prosecutor. Remember those stories we used to do where sentences are started for us and we just fill in the blanks with whatever we want? Take his letter, blank appropriate parts for us to fill in with taunts and send them to him. I’d love to see how happy he’d be to read those.
Kathyb , I have a website bookmarked at home that provides facilities and prisoner numbers, I’m guessing a person could write to a convict based on that info? I’ll look it up when I get home. This fat pussy bitch needs a golden shower of contempt rained down on his baldy head (double entendre intended).
Here, Here! I second that. Let’s all take 5 minutes to write a teasing funny letter to him in his own style of bullshit prose. Wouldn’t that be great! To know everybody is laughing at him as he approaches the date!
This would be awesome! Who else is in?
I like how giddy all the comments sound because FINALLY we know FOR SURE this dumbass is going to burn.
And: ahahahahahahahahahahahaha I wish all criminals were like this one.
WHAA?? Five percent think this fartknocker should not go to hell? Whassup with THAT?
I am so excited that he will die right before my birthday! What a gift that is. It would be great to do a PYSIH field trip/road trip. Watching his country sorry ass sizzle like a sausage, I could not refrain from remarks/animal sounds/hand gestures/touchdown dances. But victims/relatives of victims might be watching the execution, and to avoid disrespecting them I think TWO viewing rooms are needed. One can maintain quiet, professional viewing. In the other we can have cake, board games, martinis, a betting pool . . .
“fartknocker”
LMAO, that was good!
Can’t you imagine his cellmates getting a good first look at him. Just study that face for a sec, if you can stand to, and see what his cellmates saw . . . . doughy, flabby body (observe the lousy posture and round shoulders in the photo) . . . long eyelashes . . . last but not least, a girly mouth and wussy face hair that, taken together, suggest — well — female genitalia . . .
And a collective WHOOO-HOOO went up . . . What do you suppose the bidding started at?
I don’t know what kind of beard that is he’s got, and no disrespect meant to guys in general with that beard style; there’s just something about that one, and the face, and the mouth . . . Euuww.
I got the following info at Virginia inmate locator web site. The link is at Corrections.Com.
Offender Name: Powell, Paul Warner
DOC Number: 1151253
Inmate Number: 285713
Gender: Male
Race: White
Location: Sussex I State Prison
Haven’t been able to verify yet it’s the same guy.
It is – It’s the only Paul Powell in the Virginia State Corrections System. If you’re interested, you can also look at his court records at this website:
http://wasdmz2.courts.state.va.us/CJISWeb/circuit.html
Just select Prince William County from the list at the top left and follow the instructions on the next page. It’s pretty straightforward. Hell, I was able to do it, so how hard can it be – LOL.
hey max dude,have you checked ur fb email lately.i sent ya somethin.
Hey Bo,
How is that tomkitty of yours doin? :)
hes cool,hes just goin around swishin that tail and trying to look like a badass.tryin to nail every girl kitty around,im bout to get him a dewrag and shades,than he can be a real stud tomcat,lol.
I just have to hear what the Idiots against the Death Penalty are going to argue for this one-oh we can’t execute him because he might be innocent argument won’t work because wonder boy already admitted it to the world….Kick his sorry ass off the planet as quick as possible as this racist bully boy certainly posses no value to society..and in a world of limited resources why waste precious oxygen, food and water on him?
Since Powell is a Neo-Nazis, I am surprised no Black inmate has beaten him to pulp.
As a matter of fact USS Yorktown, Powell has already gotten the shit beat out of him because of his white supremacist views. It happened during one of his many stays in jail prior to this murder, and no one was ever charged with the assault. I ran across this while in a newspaper article while I was researching the story.
I see. I was hoping he would be shanked.
I vote for a black person to pull the switch on him. Better yet, a Jewish black person can blow him a kiss and then pull the switch. Errr…maybe a Jewish black man can french kiss his mother right in front of him, blow him a kiss, and the pull the switch. Hee hee, oh the possibilities.
This asshole may be Caucasian but try telling him that; he’s a gangsta wannabe that tried his damndest all through his life to be a black thug. Just because this moron uses the word ‘nigger’ doesn’t make this a racially inspired murder or him some kind of supremacist as this post lightly implies. I kept waiting for the skinhead tie-in. The simple fact is that he’s a violent POS and is now exactly where he needs to be. I’m not sure why his being Caucasian had to be pointed out in the opening sentence? Regardless, he’s a bastard.
Are you kidding E Diddy? You must have read his letters to his ex-girlfriend. He mentions in that Stacey was a n****r – lover, and he told the cops several times that he was mad because Stacey was dating a Black kid. That’s why he targeted her. This crime was all about race. He planned to Rape and kill both her and Kristie, just because Stacey had the nerve to date Sean Wilkerson. Originally he also planned on killing the parents, but he panicked and left after he assaulted Kristie. That’s why I began the story the way I did.
That is true, Max, and that is also why I stated that he’d used the word in his letter. He also stated in that same letter that some of the girls ‘wannabe skin head’ friends were going to kill him. ‘Ya’ll’ is commonly used by thug types when speaking to one another, which is the vernacular he used in the letter to the prosecutor. The skin head comment is the really the one that throws me off. If he were such a racist, why would the girl be hanging out with skinheads, even if they were wannabe, and why would they want to kill another skinhead that wanted to kill a chick for banging some black thugs? Weird scene.
Yeah, it is a weird scene alright. I don’t trust the part of the letter about skinheads, because I couldn’t find any evidence that Stacey was into that scene at all. It doesn’t make sense, considering she’d been dating Sean Wilkerson for several months. I’m 100% sure this guy was a racist and a white supremacist. Check out the Supreme Court Ruling I linked to also – that’s got some good evidence.
E Diddy please do yourself a favor and read this:
http://www.courts.state.va.us/opinions/opnscvwp/1042716.pdf
If for some reason you can’t open and read this PDF, allow me to disagree with you on it’s behalf. This is a 32 page doc of proceedings that followed after Powell filed his habeas corpus petition.
On page 7: “Powell told the police officers that he and Stacey had an argument because she
had a black boyfriend, and Powell “didn’t agree with interracial dating.”
On page 13 of this document in another letter to Ebert that is not featured in the PYSIH article:
“What’s up you fat head fucker? I’m just
writing to tell you, since you want to kill me so
Goddamn bad for killing your nigger loving whore,
set up a court date closer than Oct. 25 so I can go
ahead and get this bullshit over with and plead
guilty so you can kill me and get it over with,
unless you want to let me out so I can kill the rest
of the nigger lovers and all the niggers, Jews,
Spics and everybody else in this fucked up country
that’s not white. That includes you because you are
a nigger loving Jewish fucking faggot. I will see
you in hell bitch.”
On page 14 of this document: The jury viewed writings and drawings taken from Powell’s
jail cell that demonstrated his hatred of people who were not
Caucasian. Additionally, the jury heard evidence that Powell
told police officers that he was a racist and described his
violent racial views. He stated, “[e]verybody that ain’t
white shouldn’t – he needs to die.”
If you would like more evidence other than what’s right in front of your damn face that this was a racially charged crime, I have plenty more where this came from.
Harley, I wish people like this could get blood tested to see if we can figure out where their ancestors came from. Then read them the results 30 seconds before they’re kicked off the Earth. 30 seconds so they have time to feel it, and die with that self loathing in their heads, or at least doubt about their own racial purity.
Aside from very isolated peoples and lost tribes who have never had contact with other races, we’re all mutts and should stop this foolish racial bullshit. Somewhere in everyone’s history is the blood of another race. Hate who you are? Please throw yourself off a bridge without a bungee cord so the rest of us don’t have to deal with your terrible self.
No, really. I’m serious. SPLAT!
And what gets me is THIS… I’ve been finding good reasons to hate people since I was a pre-schooler. People who overuse air quotes, people who wear Ugg boots in the summer, people who don’t wipe their feet when coming in from the rain, people who don’t use a signal when turning, people who actually consider Tila Tequila or Kim Kardashian to be legitimate celebrities, people who don’t know how to play their car radios at a moderate level ((that’s why it’s INSIDE the car, genius. And that goes for ALL races – you are all guilty.)), people who hold up lines because they’re selfish, indecisive pricks… I could go down the list for DAYS. Why even bother with race? Too trivial and basal for me… I like to be creative… Let my hate really MEAN something, y’know?
“I have always contended that bigots are just plain lazy, and that if you just take the trouble to know people as individuals, almost invariably you will discover better reasons to despise them other than their race, religion, or sexual proclivity.”

**choked up** That’s BEAUTIFUL, man…
(No, seriously – AWESOME quote…)
I don’t discriminate. I hate everybody equally.
Equality? That’s not very chaotic! The Joker would be ashamed (If he had the capacity)(Yay comic books!). I wish that amalgam of cruelty and idiocy could be released…To be hunted down and have his slimy throat cut…Make him work for every last terrifying second in his despicable life.
I just read: Powell v. WARDEN OF THE SUSSEX I, 634 SE 2d 289 – Va: Supreme Court 2006 (Scholar has the html version)
in it theres a follow up letter to the ex-girlfriend too..
man this guy is a real piece of work
“Hey babe, what’s happening? Not too much here. I writing you to see if you could get one of your guy friends to do me a favor. You know that Kristie is telling the cops things and that she is going to testify against me in court. I was wondering if you could get somebody to go to a pay phone and call Kristie and tell her she better tell the cops that she lied to them and tell her she better not testify against me or she’s gonna die.”
He’s ever so casual about this request to, thats just fucking amazing.
You know the old movie cliche “You just signed your own Death Warrant!!”
This dumb fuck ACTUALLY DID IT!!!!
Why are all the white supremicists total fucking losers …. I mean … for a group of people who think that they are essentially genertically superior to all non-whites …. you would think they at least would look in the mirror and make sure that they can:
a) walk upright
b) read and write to at least an 8th grade level
c) not be complete fucktards
Yeah I know they would still be wrong … but at least the rest of us would have to do something other than just /point and /rofl in ordfer to prove how deluded they are :P
if it’s not about their race, it’s about their religion, or their sex (or sexual preference.. and if those don’t work then they blame the music, or video games… doesn’t matter why he did it, just that he did it, he sealed his own fate.
I hope he kissed the envelope hahahaha
Some people need to hate to feel good about themselves. I just need to vent to feel good about everyone else!
Not all are. What you are refering to are the soldiers the foot troops if you will. The men and women behind the scenes are very inteligent, motovated and working hard.
I have been fighting the boneheads for years. They show up and all is planned down to the second. No moron could do that type of planning. You should hear some of the speaches these people come up with. Very carefully written not to look like hate but filled with questions so that you come away with the feeling that you came up wiht the answer.
I have been to many rallies and other events. Again very well planned and put together.
then you have the “left always front and center “proesting” the racists. The questions are always asked how much will it cost the city to provide safe passage for our march? To Practice our right to free speech. All we want it to express our opinion as is so written in the constitution.
Last year a NPD sponsered march in the city of Erlangen Germany cost the city €9 million. thats a lot of money for a city the size of Erlangen. That money was supposed to go to the renovation of 3 schools and a retirement home. Instead the left came out in force to protest forcing the city to pay police a shitlead of overtime. The left came out with posters and phrases that were very disgusting. All in the name of peace? No I think not.
No I am not some hating slime bag. I only understand real freedom resides in acceptance for people with different opinions. When those opinions turn violent that is where their rights stop.
I’m glad you said this Mulch – this is the reason I always call the obvious white supremacists who show up here “sheep” who just repeat whatever their masters tell them. I believe you’re 100% correct in everything you say. The true leaders of the neo-nazi and white supremacist movements are not idiots, but intelligent, well organized people who are very good at what they do. The most obvious of their followers are brainless buffoons like Paul Powell, but the smart ones stay anonymous, working behind the scenes and doing what they can to promote “the movement”.
OK, I have a question here…does this dipshit qualify for a Darwin Award? Maybe? Hopefully?
LOL. In a little over a month I reckon he just might …..
Max – hope you don’t mind … submitted the link to this article to http://www.darwinawards.com. I reckon it’s worth consideration – can’t hurt for PYSIH to get a mention there either.
Not at all man – Let’s hope he’s a big winner, he sure earned it.
Ok, first off it’s been a long, long time since I have posted to this lovely website. It was truly hard choosing which story to post my return, but this one was what I would call the “Darwin-Whisperer.” I know now why Planned Parenthood is such a very good thing.
What strikes me the most, and it is a recurrent theme, is how incredibly retarded racists can be. “Paul Warner Powell, a self-avowed “racist and white supremacist,” —-LMFAO….woooo I’m still chuckling over this line. It boggles the mind how this turd with corn nuggets can honestly think he is SUPREME…
Does hell have a Special Education wing?
I thought it was neat he called himself a white supremest but yet thought he had “skin-heads” out to kill him.
So he was hated by his own kindred spirits too?
life must really have sucked to be him.
{waves to Max} remember me pal? Thx for the great post!
Yeah man, where have you been buddy? You were a real fixture around here about a year ago…
I didn’t know death row inmates could choose a mode of execution?
He choose old sparky?? good!!
I don’t understand why they don’t kill these guys the same way they had killed their victims thats the only punishment that could fit the crime. I’m all about being humane but the line is drawn for me at savage killers like this turd.
Fuck I almost want to take my ass Virginia, March 18th just to laugh in his face.
good write up max
Is there an address we can send a goodbye card too? It might be nice to let him know his stupidity is appreciated.
D.U.M.B. F.U.C.K. that is all i have to say
This moron can’t spell, so I’m sure he doesn’t realize exactly what a dumb fuck he is!
Bless dear Kristie, I’m glad she had the strength to survive this tragedy.
send him to iraq and clear roads of bombs for the soldiers over there. he sounds like he has the perfect i.q. for this type of mission. or just starve him to death. both work for me.
PFFFFFFTTT….HA HA HA HA HA HA HA! HAAAAAA AHAAAAAAAHAAAAA LOL! HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!
What a hilarious story! I love when people trash talk only because it’s so funny when they get their comeuppance. Paul was so sure of himself, felt so confident, but he apparently missed a couple classes at law school (oh wait…he never went so how’d he become an expert?) and didn’t know that he wasn’t yet completely safe. What an idiot. What a colossal, cruel, stupid idiot. In less than a month, we will be done with this idiot. For good.
And the moral of this story, kids is….WAIT UNTIL YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY SURE BEFORE CELEBRATING!!!! Do you think OJ would’ve done that “If I Did It” book stuff in the middle of the Nicole Brown Simpson trial? No, because he would’ve ended up like Powell here. No, he waited until he was fully acquitted and double jeopardy was really in effect before he made any kind of move like that. Paul didn’t. OJ’s still around, but Paul soon won’t be. Don’t celebrate until you’re sure you’ve won!
(P.S. just so we don’t open this can of worms, I’m not making any definitive statements on whether or not OJ was guilty of that infamous crime…just that he waited until it was all done before he pulled that book deal stunt. True, it was an incredibly stupid stunt, but with double jeopardy, there was nothing anyone could do to him about that concerning that past crime).
I just read about this p.o.s. (no one with this acronym deserves the letters to be capitalized) in the ‘Reader’, and I eventually reached this website. wow! What an idiot!! Just his dismissal from this “mortal coil” should bring the average IQ a point or two; and ‘sike!’ ??? (for ‘psyche!’) I agree with a few other people on here that he should be raped at least once before he gets fried this month…
Four more days!
3….2….1!!!!!!!
Thirty-one-year-old Paul Warner Powell is scheduled to die at 9 p.m. at Greensville Correctional Center in Jarratt.
I got beer (The real stuff) chips and dips. Anyone want to bring popcorn?
Oh gosh, is today the day? I almost forgot! How exciting! My heart is just going pit-a-pat! What do you suppose they’re doing to him now? Getting him into the overalls? Doing a final cavity search?
Oh he is a skin head? That is why he chose the electric chair, The guards now dont have to shave his head! How considerate!
Now why do you suppose he picked the electric chair. Is it really cuz he’s stupid, or is it part of his oh-so-carefully cultivated tough guy image? In other words, is he trying to tell the world, or convince himself, he’s got brass balls?
Whatever his reason, I hope they leave the sponge dry.
and another one bites the dust! Oh Well
sooooooooo has he gone to the pits of hell yet???……..snicker..smirk…
Paul Warner Powell is DEAD!!!!!! he died @ 9:09 PM

Bye bye asshole!
Paul W. Powell, you are at present burning in the fires of hell. Please note that this is where you will spend eternity. That means forever. Without end. No breaks or recesses or any let-ups in the torture of any kind. It is my sincere hope that you are ass-raped by black men while you are burning. Enjoy your eternal torment and I hope hell really sucks for you!
you really believe that shit? ass raped by black men? hope hell really sucks for you? what an idiot.
kidnic, something just flew over your head! Oh mah GAWD, I do believe it was ‘the point of this entire website’! We vent against, make fun of and debate about the criminals and crimes in the comments section for PYSIH. We rejoice when we see justice done. This is important information for you to have.
Perhaps you should read the site a bit more before commenting.
It’s just a suggestion.
Idiot.
He is dead now, and soon we will die too ;-)
leaching cunt
He has to be the worlds dumbest arse ever. But it just goes to show you how many of these scumbag’s lie and evade a death sentence. He has to be the only person ( i . Was gonna say alive ) That had his conviction over turned, only to be re sentenced to death Thru his big gob. He thought he was so clever and when he sent the prosecutor that letter he must have thought he was so cleverer than everybody else. Stupid dumb fuck. What a numb skull, with no remorse, even sending the victims mother hate mail, he deserved to die for that alone. I wish the uk where im from would bring back the death penalty, the yank’s have got the right idea!
