To the Hugoists

I've remained relatively silent about Hugo Selenski and the ongoing comments that continue. For some family, friends and some wannabe friends the debating continues. Things became a little hostile then cooled off some. Please continue in that cooled off vein, but let's get the main rule down now: Anyone who threatens will be banned immediately. Play nice, or don't play. No running with scissors..got it?

Now for some of the most recent developments:


Patrick Russin.jpg

Patrick Russin (above) pleaded guilty earlier this month to two counts of third-degree murder, robbery, abuse of a corpse and a single count of criminal conspiracy to commit robbery. Wheeling and dealing was done to ensure his testimony against his good pal Hugo. Ahhh, the bonds of friendship in the drug world....shocking isn't it? Not.

For my two cents on the whole thing, in America one is innocent until proven guilty. But since this is America each and everyone of us can voice our opinions and if anyone of us wants to go ahead and voice that Hugo is guilty as hell, we can do that.

Lets face the facts here, bodies were found in his yard. He has his good friend testifying against him. A credible witness? Hell no, but Hugo's a convicted felon himself. Why would anyone believe him when he says he's not guilty. It's not like the guy got out of prison set on a mission to clean his act up. At least once a week there is an article in the paper where one of his friends, ex's etc. committed some crime or other. You are known by the company you keep. No matter how much you protest. No matter how much it isn't right to judge, this is America, we judge the shit out of everything. Just because we can.

Now to the gal that's writing Hugo, if you are a friend, I can understand writing to him and giving your support. Now if any of you are a wannabe friend to Hugo, writing him in jail is just plain ass sick. Writing to people in prison you don't know is sick. Get therapy. It's not normal, you can not rationalize it away. It's sick. Even if Hugo is not guilty of murder he's still a convicted felon and a drug dealer, not a pillar of society. Get it? It's sick.

To Hugo's family that reads this blog, you do have my sympathy. You can not pick your family, control them or fix things for them. If it was my brother I'd be confused and angry at the world a little too. Be strong for each other. Peace.

Just in regards to your comments and thoughts. I am not a "wannabe friend" nor am I a "Hugoist", whatever that may be. But like you said, that this is America, you have rights and if someone chooses to write to someone who is in jail, then they can. There are many reasons why someone may write to someone, they may have questions, they may need to vent, many things. Don't just think that when people write to someone its because they are "wannabe friends" sending "friendly" letters. You arent the one receiving the letters, so you dont know what they say. Sorry to disagree with what you say, but you have to be objective and look from many view points, not just your own.

Before I wrote this post I did "look" at why someone would want to write an accused murderer. My brain came up with many scenarios from witnessing, writing a novel, revenge, plain old curiosity...all my answers came up with it being sick behavior. I can not come up with one constructive scenario.

So how come there are people who on this site that were friends with him after he was released from prison, since he was a convicted felon?

What is that comment supposed to mean? You don't make any sense.

No you don't!

There may have been people who were friends with him after he got out of prison the first time, but do you know who those friends were?
I think someone mentioned earlier that you are the company you keep!
Sure he had friends - ex-cons, drug dealers, crack-heads, and the like. What a click!
