Coward of all cowards

A man by the name Cornelius Abson, was arrested and admitted to the mugging of an 85 year-old women in New York City. He stole her money and cane! He admitted to other muggings of elderly people. In another case he took someone’s bible! Now he is in protective custody and on suicide watch. WHY?!?!? Because his rights may be violated if he was in general population and got his ass kicked? Or his family would sue if this low-life killed himself. What about the rights of his victims? According to the New York Daily News, several of his victims now live in fear. Everyday errands, such as going to the store are now fear filled tasks for the innocent people. Instead of enjoying their “golden years”, they now live in fear. So what if Cornelius Abson gets beat up in prison. He would then get a taste of what his victims got. He said he was a different person during the attacks because of his addiction to crack. Are we supposed to feel sorry for this scumbag now?

From the Daily New--- Abson was convicted in July 1994 for purse-snatchings with the same technique: choking and mugging his elderly victims. In May 2002, he was arrested for choking two senior citizens and swiping their money orders. He pleaded guilty three years later.
So if it was due to his crack addiction, then why didn’t he get help back then? I say throw him in general population and whatever happens, happens.
He did, however, show up to a bail hearing on Friday with a knot on his head and bruised ribs. I’m glad to see some one else feels as I do. Hopefully there will be more.
