    Nothing will give me more personal satisfaction than to see this dirtbag who murdered my friend Rick put down like a dog. As a long time Reserve Police Officer in Massachusetts, I wait unfailingly to see this through and have some bit of justice served to his memory. This sociopath has less humanity than a sewer rat.
