| As disgusting as I find this myspace page, I cannot bring myself to say that myspace.com should take the page down. When I looked up the page it was set to private, and I simple refuse to add him to my “friends” to see his page. I think myspace.com over all does a pretty good job at limiting the stuff that goes on their pages but at some point the individual needs to be responsible for themselves, (or parents for their children). I think, if myspace.com had written their policies, mission statements and procedures with the idea of being an ethical web space provider, then yes they would have an obligation to delete such websites but their leadership must decided what path the company is going to take.

| I have to agree with you Cordero. It you own individual chioce to look at anyone's myspace page. So if you dont want to look at his page dont. If you do want to look at his page ask him to be your friend.

| Too bad i didnt get to see his myspace page because i would love to see it and see why so many people are getting flustered over it. But since i was un able to see it i really dont have much to say other then this. I feel that if someone is in prision they should have no more rights absolutly NONE. No Internet No TV Nothing. they messes up and they deserve no rights!!!!!! Last edited on Mon Dec 11th, 2006 09:55 pm by Kyle 35

| Myspace has evolved much larger than what i think the creater ever thought it would and I think that when it was created that there wasn't much thought about what would be wrong and right within who could register and what can be talked about. I do not think that one a prisoner of any sentence should have internet privleges. More so i don't think a prisoner should have a myspace where they are capable of talking to others. What kind of a system do we have these people have to many freedoms how is it punishment! i think that it is wrong and unethical for myspace to allow prisoners to be able to be on myspace.

| I feel like my space should eliminate the page because it is morally wrong. They are keeping the page up to get others to check out their website. It is making them more profitable to their investors and those who want to advertise with them. My space shows that they do not have any ethics by allowing this page to be displayed. It shows us that my space is more concerned about making money than protecting society.

| This quote is for Crim112Abruzzo, I agree with you that the page should be deleted. I further agree with you that he should not have access to these Internet sites. It is morally wrong that a murderer on death row can have a page where he can become friends with anyone he wants including children. However, I wanted to inform you that the website is not private it is owned by one of the largest media companies in the world. Media Corp who owns Directv, Fox, and many other media outlets actually purchased this web site. Last edited on Mon Dec 11th, 2006 10:41 pm by Gelegan112

| I do not see a problem with Halprin having a myspace account. If myspace took down Halprin's page because he is a convicted cop killer on death row, then wouldn't they also have to weed out all the other convicted criminals as well? Myspace has their rules about what can and can't be displayed on a person's page, and if his page violated these rules then his account would likely be deleted. He should be treated just like any other user. It was said that Hawkins' mother was upset over some postings on Halprin's page. I was not clear on what exactly it was that offended her, and if it was a threat, then that is certainly not right, however the page should not be viewed in the first place by those who could be offended by its content. Halprin does not even have access to his own page and has to have someone outside the prison post his information for him. Now that his page is marked as 'private,' only approved 'friends' can view his page. Hopefully this will cause some of the controversy to subside.

| In response to crim112Arthur... I feel the same way that it is sad that a cop killer on death row could have his own myspace account, but at the same time myspace is not really obligated to remove his page. I think it is a good thing that his profile is marked as private and people are not able to view the content of his page.

ATTN: I just got this e-mail form the people who are running his websight
December 15, 2006
Dear friends of Randy E. Halprin,
this is Josef, a German penpal of Randy. I'm the webmaster of his own website
http://www.randyhalprin.net
and together with Michelle (she's living in the States) we are trying to run and to maintain an account on MySpace for Randy. But that's very difficult. Since the American media have reported about Death Row inmates having accounts on MySpace, unfortunately MySpace again and again deletes Randy's MySpace account, and we don't know why. And again and again we're reinstalling a new account for him but of course, each time Randy looses his entire friend lists!!! That's also the reason, why Randy's repeatedly is "disappearing" from your friends list.
Now, additionally I would like to add you on my friends list res. to be added on yours, because then I can infrom you by bulletins or blogs, what's going on with Randy, with his situation and also with his writings.
So, I would be very thankful, if you may approve my friend request or if you may send me a friend request.
Hope, to see you soon and to keep in touch with you!
If you like, you can visit me on my own website:
http://www.supervision-schwarzwald.de
but attention! it's all in German...! :-))
Thanks a lot and take care!
Josef

| Myspace? It seems today that myspace is the attention of the world. How many people you get to meet from all over the countries, it is a great source of communications and networking. But there is a downside to all of this, it is an ethical issue, right from wrong. Many people have myspace for networking. Others to commit crime, such as sex offenders who there purpose is to meet young people and sexually abuse them. Myspace is a great way to find someone and see what they are all about, many federal or state jobs well conduct an investigation and they well find out if that particular person has a myspace. Myspace should not be given just to anyone it should block people who are offenders of any type.

| Greetings, I agree with your theory myspace should of laid down the rules as what their purpose is. I believe their attentions were to network. It is a great tool to meet people all over the world. Unfortunately it did not go that way, it seems that there are people are their only purpose to commit crimes.

First off if you are in prison or the correction system to where you are in a facility even remotely simliar to a jail or prison (basically anything with bars) you don't have many of the constitutional rights that someone not in the system has. The account should be (it has been deleted prior to this posting) deleted. Majority of the myspace users are in their teens/jr high and high school age. What would a inmate be doing with a myspace account besides checking out profiles of kids under age? I'm sure he isn't communicating with a fellow inmate in solitary or one in another prison facility. As a myspace user myself I have received many requests to be friends with users that even frighten me or cause me to be very alarmed that these people posses a myspace.
The mother of the victim to which Randy Halprin murdered has a very strong case. How many parents have kids that use myspace? They are probably very scared that something might happen to their children in result from their kids accepting friend requests froms hady characters. Several months ago MSN showed a police officer who created a myspace account and acted like a guy who was between the ages of 18-20. He made friends with several girls under the age of 16. Even though the girls' myspaces did not give out alot of details regarding their age, location, or names he was still able to find out that info from comments their friends had left them. One comment even told him where the girls would be at a certain date and time. When their parents saw this they were stunned. The issue was quickly solved and the kids myspace profiles were then either deleted by the parents or monitored by the parents.
I agree with Abruzzo on this one again. Someone in prison has no constutional right to have a myspace account.

Yes, his myspace should be deleted and it is good that they finally did. Myspace has a duty to protect their members and not allow people like this be a part of it. They are not able to be free in our society for a reason and should not be allowed to have these types of rights and freedoms because they have done something illegal and should not be allowed to participate in things people do in our society.

| I see no problem with having a myspace page. It is very unfourtante that the victims mother feels this way. I do not see the big deal with myspace in the first place. If anything the attention it is getting is only fueling the fire on this issue. If someone else is posting for him what is the problem. If the web-site is only dealing with what is going on in his life, you have a choice to read it or not. We live in a day and age that we love to see "that train wreak".I like to see thye train wreak. Like most things on the inernet you have a choice of what you view. I think that mother should put her effort in helping other victims familys of what they have been through. She should stop worrying about some dude that is going to be locked up for a long time. She needs to get on with the healing of losing her son, this mother continue to revicitmize herself and does not even know it.

| I agree with you. You have a choice on whether to go on myspace or not. If somone choose not to look at the web-site then fine. If someone enjoys reading about some dude sitting in prison. There is so much crap on the internet, I believe that worse things on the internet then a dude in prison who has a myspace page. I you do not like it do not look at it.

I agree with crim112mccoy. There should less rights for those that are in prison, but prison is not like it was years ago; maybe it should go back to more rock breaking. For an inmate to set up a page means that they have to much free time. I feel that this means that the prisons do not are giving them to much freedom. Reading about one inmate that has set up on myspace account means how many others have one as well? I understand that the inmates are locked up for what could be a long time, but in that time they can be reflecting on what they have done, researching if they want an appeal, or participate in imate work programs if there are ones avalible, or read or watch tv, but no computers (unless for specific education purposes) that have internet. The issue that come up with allowing this person to have an account is what kind of things can a person put on the internet without some sort of regulations? I feel that this would mean that Myspace should have some kind of standard of what is posed up on their site. If posting of people like this continue it will only lead to the bring down of the myspace's name and their reputation of what kind of site they are.

i do not believe myspace has any ethical interest in deleting this page. if he were using this page for illeagal purposes, such as running a drug cartel, or soliciting sex with minors, that would be a different story. but if he is just using it to contact people, including having a home page that just tells people about himself, then there is no harm. obviously, the corrections system should monitor it, as they do with letters.

I disagree Robinson. If myspace deletes his account for being a bad person, what's to say that they would delete my account for being an (evil) republican?
