Straight to the Slammer

Eww!

This guy wouldn’t be around to face a trial, because I would have enjoyed taking his last breath if he did this to me.

An HIV-positive man convicted of spitting into the eye and mouth of a Dallas police officer has been sentenced to 35 years in prison.

Because a jury found that Willie Campbell used his saliva as a deadly weapon, the 42-year-old will have to serve half his sentence before becoming eligible for parole. He was sentenced Wednesday.

Campbell was being arrested in May 2006 for public intoxication when he began resisting and kicking inside the patrol car, Dallas police office Dan Waller testified.

Campbell was convicted of harassment of a public servant.

We have to deal with enough bad stuff on a daily basis. Dodging bullets and drop-kicking guys with knives is bad enough, but the last thing I want to do is worry about some jerk with HIV/AIDS giving me his filthy disease just because he wants to spit on me. I hope this guys enjoys spending the rest of his natural life in prison.
