Ranting and raving about our screwed up “justice system”, a 50-year-old Gaston County death row inmate, dares the state to kill him now, instead of later.

In his letter, which can be read in FULL HEREDanny Robbie Hembree Jr.  writes, “Is the public aware that the chances of my lawful murder taking place in the next 20 years if ever are very slim?” Hembree asked. “Is the public aware that I am a gentleman of leisure, watching color TV in the a/c, reading, taking naps at will, eating three well-balanced meals a day?”

Hembree, who was sentenced to death Nov. 18 by a Gaston County jury, is accused of killing two other women, Randi Dean Saldana and Deborah Ratchford.

Hembree writes of injustice in his letter written to The Gazette. He takes a taunting tone when telling people in the county to take action:

I am a man who is ready to except his unjust punishment and face God almighty with a clear conscience unlike you cowards and your cowardly system. Kill me if you can, suckers. Ha! Ha! Ha!”

Hembree signed each of his documents simply, “Sincerely, Danny Hembree.”

Because of our broken system, everything that Hembree wrote is true. He will continue to live off of tax payers dollars for a least another 10 years, costing citizens nearly double what they pay for a regular prison, because of Hembree being on death row.

Even a confessed criminal has caught on to the stupidity of this “system”.
