God Bless you sir. You did not die an vein. You gave your life to uphold the public trust, to keep those deemed unfit for our society from hurting anyone else. Sincere sympathy to the family and South Dakota D.O.C. during this time.
I will not weep for this mans death, instead I will thank God that a man like this ever lived.
