Does he think we care?

Regarding "Accused Cop Killer Complains About Jail" (June 15): "Seriously? Really? Richard Poplawski wants us to know what individuals may be faced with if they land in jail? And he "wants to improve" his "condition"? Does he really believe that any of us even care?

With all of his reported denials of access while in jail to social services, religious services, visitors, the commissary, gym equipment and the library, does he ever once stop and think of what he denied to three men permanently?

Perhaps Paul Sciullo would have been Downtown at the Penguins parade, perhaps Eric Kelly would have gone to church with his family, and perhaps Stephen Mayhle would have taken his girls to Kennywood this past weekend. Richard Poplawski also wants to remind us that he is "presumed innocent."

I wonder just who or what he is planning to blame for the all-out assault on the police at his house. He doesn't even have the basic human dignity to keep his mouth shut. Save his family and some defense attorneys, none of us cares.
