Can you imagine the scum bucket, loser freaks who would buy this CRAP? They need to be checked into a nut house! I'm so glad Andy Kahan from Texas isn't kissing the butt of the criminal element and is taking them on and trying to put a stop to this disgusting mess of a business! :patriot:

Anyone that would buy or support this blood business is, crazier than a run over dog.

This just makes me as mad as a mule chewing on bumblebees.

What would make an 18-year-old American midsize sedan worth $5,000?

Forty-eight murders.

That was the hope of an Enumclaw car owner who tried Thursday to auction off a Mercury Sable owned by Gary Ridgway, the Green River Killer.

The unidentified seller posted an advertisement on a Web site called murderauction, one of a handful of online clearinghouses that deal in "murderabilia."

Such sites vend an often-bizarre array of items -- such as toenail clippings and bodily fluids -- connected with convicted mass murderers.

Critics of the murderabilia industry argue that such sites help killers profit from their crimes and give them a chance to keep hurting their victims' loved ones. Those criticisms have prompted some in Congress -- including Rep. Dave Reichert, R-Wash., the former King County sheriff who led the task force that brought Ridgway to justice -- to push for a change in law to restrict such sales.
