He said that his parole officer was trying to deny him parole. So overcrowding of prisons isn't the reason why he got out. Ever stop to think why his parole officer was trying to deny him parole? One should assume that the parole officer was doing his/her job - and I seriously doubt that the officer had a problem with Thomas whatshisname on a personal level. Also taking the overcrowding of american prisons in measure, one can only assume that the officer's motives were legit, seeing as he, according to Thomas whatshisface, was attempting to deny parole. I personally would take a trained officers opinion more serious, as opposed to a repeated offender who's first known crime was in 1984. I emphasize the word known, since the following crimes come across as slip-ups, rather than isolated events. I'm also just second-guessing like most people, but I share no agreement with the folks who feel sorry for this dude. A grown man should know better. I felt glad that he himself admits to his mistakes in his lengthy letter of resignation, than saddened by the 2-pages that followed which struck me as an attempt to excuse himself. As for Jagex going public with this issue. One could argue that it is tasteless, however I'm sure that 99%, including many of the people claiming the lack of moral fibre on Jagex' behalf, are happy for this piece of information in one way or the other. P.S The dude has evil eyes and his pic creeps me out, lol. P.P.S It struck me as quite odd, that he writes about obtaining/possesing child and/or underaged pornography as a normal thing. .
