Hello,

Here is a very novel and cool excuse for killing your wife, given by a 39
year old hubby named Brett Steingraber. Over two years ago, in New Jersey,
Brett managed to lure his ex-wife into his apartment. Once he had her inside he
prosuced a knife and stabbed ex-wife Sadi 12 times in the chest, killing her.

When asked by police WHY he had slaughtered 36 year old Sadi, Brett declared:
"Extraterrestrials are about to take over the planet. I only killed my ex-wife
to save her from the pain of experiencing the alien takeover." Ha! That is such
a COOL explanation! And guess what? It worked pretty well fro Brett, at least
for awhile. After the March 1996 murder, he spent 2 full years in the loony
bin, before finally being declared mentally competent to stand trial.

In court today, Brett did decide to plead guilty to aggravated manslaughter
and child endangerment. Sentencing has been set for November and Brett could
receive up to 40 years in the slammer. Bummer! IMO, he deserves a reward of
leniency just for thinking up such a novel and unusual explanation for why he
chose to commit the murder.

After slaughtering his ex-wife, our ET-fearing human put his three sons into
his car, and then drove around for awhile before crashing the car. Police
believe that he deliberately crashed the car in an attempt to kill all three
slaves AND himself, also to "spare himself and the children the pain of an
alien takeover". But the car crash was very minor, and neither he nor any of
the children suffered any serious injuries.

Why would Brett assume that an alien takeover would cause "pain"? I only WISH
aliens WOULD arrive and take over this pathetic planet. Nothing could be worse
than the pathetic enslavement and insane beliefs and cultural edits that the
human leaders of this planet have brainwashed you humans into accepting and
embracing. We need some aliens from outer space, to wake up the world and show
you humans that life should not consist of embracing lies and myths and your
own enslavement at the hands of your cunningly malevolent societal leaders.

Maybe this guy snapped after watching the movie "Mars Attacks!" Anybody seen
that flick? I thought it was VERY cool, how the Martians slaughtered humans at
will, throughout most of the movie, although I was very sad at the end, when
the Martians were defeated. Just ONCE, I'd like to see a sci-fi flick end with
the aliens WINNING, and either taking over or destroying the entire planet
earth.

Anyway, it sounds like Brett did a pretty good job of acting like he really
was motivated by fears of an imminent alien invasion. But after 2 years in the
loony bin psych doctors finally decided that he was faking and declared him fit
for trial. Or maybe they "cured" him of his delusion. If so, then he should NOT
be put on trial or sent to prison. If he GENUINELY believed that aliens were
about to take over the earth, when he killed his ex-wife, he was mentally ill
at that time. And he should NOT be punitively punished now, just because he has
REGAINED his mental health.

Take care, JOE

The following appears courtesy of today's Associated Press news wire:

Man who killed ex-wife to protect her from aliens pleads guilty to manslaughter


The Associated Press
09/02/98

ELIZABETH, N.J. (AP) -- A man who said he fatally stabbed his ex-wife to
protect her from aliens has pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter.

Brett Steingraber believed that extraterrestrials were about to take over the
planet and had been receiving commands to kill Suraia Sadi to save her from the
pain of an alien takeover, prosecutors said.

Sadi, 36, was stabbed 12 times in the chest on March 9, 1996, at Steingraber's
Roselle Park apartment. Steingraber had asked his ex-wife to come to his
apartment to help take one of the couple's three sons to the hospital, Union
County Assistant Prosecutor William Kolano said.

Steingraber, 39, later drove the boys, aged 9 to 11, aimlessly on Interstate 95
until he crashed his car in Westchester County, N.Y., Kolano said. The car
accident was an apparent attempt to spare himself and his children from the
pain of an alien takeover, Kolano said.

Steingraber, who spent two years at a psychiatric hospital before being
declared competent for trial, pleaded guilty in Superior Court Tuesday to
aggravated manslaughter and child endangerment. The state accepted his plea to
a lesser charge because defense experts had a legitimate case for an insanity
defense, Kolano said.

Superior Court Judge Walter R. Barisonek could sentence him to up to 40 years
in prison on Nov. 20.

This raises an interesting issue, Joe. You've repeatedly stated that
you despise all living creatures on the planet earth, little ole you
excluded. Do you despise all living creatures on OTHER planets as
well, assuming they exist ?

Hello Robert,

Well, I guess the issue you raise is somewhat interesting.

>You've repeatedly stated that
>you despise all living creatures on the planet earth, little ole you
>excluded.

That is correct. I have also stated that I despise the society into which I
was born and raised up, MORE than I despise "foreign" societies. But I do feel
homicidal rage towards all living creatures on this planet, in varying degrees.


>Do you despise all living creatures on OTHER planets as
>well, assuming they exist ?

I do not despise those living creatures. I do not know of them. They are not
part of society, or of this planet. I harbor no ill will towards them. If they
choose, for whatever stupid reason, to arrive on earth, move in, and live among
the human race, I slowely would develop rage and hate towards them. But
certainly if I were to encounter aliens from another planet, I would not feel
rage or hate towards them, nor any violent/homicidal impulses, unless they
treated me badly or imposed themselves upon me.

I only despise the living creatures who infest this planet, and humans are of
course at the TOP of the list.

Take care, JOE

Oh gosh. What a funny person you are,Sharon, and witty too. Where did you get
the infinite wisdom? I am in serious awe of you. I'm going to be just like you
when I reach 15 too. Assuming you are 15.

Careful, burp, your animosity is a little too deep for a ng drop-in. The
handwriting analysis reveals that you have been here before.
