I was released when I was 38, 6 months ago. I was a young white kid, scared of the environment and scared of TIME. But, I deserved it. Prison is a breeding ground for hate and I quickly got associated w/ the wrong crowd. I joined a white power prison gang. I didn't have their beliefs prior to incarceration, but things happened to make me hate all other races. before I go any further I do want to say that I don't feel this way at all anymore. the point of me sharing this is because I ended up being a cellmate to Terrance Sampson for two years. At first I didn't know what his crime was, and when I found out I felt some of my old beliefs surface. Not only the crime but the black on white issue. I kept my distance, but was forced to live in a cell (5x9) with him. Now I'm about to switch gears.. this dude, Terrance, actually helped me in so many ways. He helped me grasp the concept of "change", and really steered me in a direction of success. Not only me, but he was a teacher's aide to help gang members change their lifestyles and belief systems. I know he made a horrific choice when he was 12 years old, and I have no explanation for that. He mourns daily for his action, and knows he will have to live with the demons of his past for the rest of his life. In sum, I know Terrance for the man he is today, and he's nothing like the 12 year old kid he was. He will get out one day and I believe he will be successful and help anyone who crosses his path.

Every time someone posts on the other link I am emailed. That is the reason for the late response.<br /><br />First, I would like to say to Roni in no way was I yelling at you just stating my feelings, and I can't control how you perceive my posts.I can only share with you my intentions. You say yourself that you tick a lot of people off, but as for me I try not to let other people control my actions. In no way am I upset with anyone, because everyone has an opinion. The truth is I am the only one on your blog that knows Terrence today. Everyone else only knows what they hear,or him as a 12 year old boy,If they knew him then.<br /><br />In your other link a lady by the name of Renee wrote a letter to Terrence posing some of the same questions that are on this link and here is his response to those that care to know why. Although, Terrence offers no excuses for his actions hopefully you will better understand Terrence (the child)and see that Terrence (the adult) is truly remorseful for what he has done.Mrs.Sampsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06382625314166770430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15417436.post-18610743913312336792011-02-07T00:03:36.014-06:002011-02-07T00:03:36.014-06:00Well he is a killer regarless if it was when i was...Well he is a killer regarless if it was when i was a child or not, he acted on his rage and you cant garentee that he wont get out and come after me.

Either that, or she is a toxic person, and, if I were yu, I would avoid her as much as possible.<br /><br />I know how hard it is to get over hearing something hurtful from someone from whom you expect nothing but love. It's as if you have been hurt twice over by Kelly's death. <br /><br />Seriously, stay away from people who hurt you. Get some counselling, if you can afford it. I am sorry if I have caused you further pain. I can't help blogging about crimes such as Kelly's murder...it's the way I work through my own demons.<br /><br />It should not have been you. This is not an either/or situation. It should not have been Kelly, either. It should not be anybody. <br /><br />Somehow, we must find a way to stop raising boys and men that are capable of doing such a thing. And we must learn how to protect ourselves and our daughters. I don't know how.

I've been pretty easy on you, because of ...OK. I've been pretty easy on you, because of what you have gone through. I want you to know that I can't really understand what you live with every day...all I can do is imagine how I would feel in similar circumstances.<br /><br />First, this is not Facebook, where everyone who has ever left a comment here gets a notification that there is a new comment. I have no way to let commenters know that.<br /><br />You made a comment, which I deleted, to the effect that you'd like to see him suffer what they used to do to slaves. I had very carefully not mentioned the fact that Terrance is African American, just because I wanted to discuss the case as victim and killer, without the added factors. You said, in a subsequent comment, that (and I quote) "he's the reason my family is Racist." You then asked me how I would feel if it were someone I loved who had been brutally murdered. The implication was that it would cause anyone to become a racist. I don't think so. I think I could focus my anger where it belonged, and not spread it over an entire ethnic group.<br /><br />In your most recent comment, you say you are not prejudiced against anyone but Terrance, which leads me to wonder if you actually know what the word means. "Prejudice" is composed of two elements: "pre," meaning "before," and "judice," having to do with judging. A dictionary says, <br /><br /> "preconceived judgment or opinion (2) : an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge"<br /><br />There are other definitions, but this is the one that pertains to our present discussion.<br /><br />Therefore, this cannot apply to Terrance. At least, not in the sense that your feelings are caused my his murder of Kelly. Kelly's murder had caused youj to pre-judge others, according to your comment.<br /><br />Or are you saying that your family is prejudiced, but you are not? <br /><br />And, finally, who was your English teacher at C. D.
