My Grandmother who knew him and his family just informed me of what had happened. Willard is there any way that we can get into contact so you can tell me more about your uncle? It's always good to know as much family as possible. I am a distant relative to this gentleman. My Grandmother who knew him and his family just informed me of what had happened.

A few days ago I read a comment posted on another web site by someone who apparently thinks their tax dollars was wasted on feeding and housing Tim and other prisoners. Course they made other comments as well but I'm not going to repeat everything that was written. Who are these types of comments aimed at? Couldn't be for Tim...because they can't hurt him now. I'm guessing they must be intended to cause hurt to his family and friends. Wonder why that is? Is it not enough that we've lost someone in our lives that we cared about? What purpose does it serve? And what sort of pleasure do these people get by writing this garbage? The sad truth is we don't live in a perfect world. People are not perfect. Sometimes we do things that are completely out of character...for whatever reason. I guess it's easy for someone to sit at home and judge others that they don't know . They use the term 'freedom of speech' to justify the hurtful things they say. Perhaps they could do more good by joining the military and help fight to keep our right to 'freedom of speech' instead of saying things that do nothing but cause more suffering to innocent people. Tim paid for his crime with his life. There's nothing more he can give so let him rest in peace.

I KNOW THAT TIMMY WAS NO ANGEL AND DID THINGS THAT WAS UNBELIEVABLE.

AND WHO DO THEY THINK THEY ARE BY LAUGHING AND MAKING JOKES OVER SOMEONE DYING. MY GOD TIMMY WAS SOMEONE SON AND HE WAS A FATHER. AND THE WAY I SEE THINGS IS THAT THE GUARDS AND WARDEN SHOULD BE FACING CHARGES THEMSELVES. WHAT I CANT UNDER STAND ABOUT THIS IF THEY WANTED TIM OUT OF HIS CELL WHY DID THEY NOT GO IN AND GET HIM OUT. I KNOW THEY HAVE SERT TEAMS JUST FOR THAT. THEY HAVE NO RIGHT TO GAS HIM FOR OVER 2HR. I HAVE BEEN FRIENDS WITH TIM SINCE WE WAS KIDS. AND WE RAN AROUND TOGETHER AND KNOW ALL OF HIS FAMILY AND WHEN IT CAME DOWN TO IT TIMMY WAS A REALLY GOOD GUY AND DO ANY THING FOR YOU. I KNOW HE DONE SOME REALLY BAD THINGS IN HIS LIFE BUT HE DID NOT DESERVE TO BE DONE THIS WAY. I JUST HOPE THAT THE STATE OF NEVADA WILL LOOK INTO THIS AND BRING CHARGES TO THE WARDEN AND GUARDS.

It has happened for centuries but now, maybe with the media someone who is not close to the places can try to do something. Everyone says let someone else report it, I don't want to get in to trouble reporting it, they may come to get me. This is a bunch of crap. If our forefathers had sat back and said something like that we would not have the freedoms we have now. Freedoms even for those in prison. Freedom from legal murderers. They cover each others a--'s and if one tells they will figure out a way to get him/her sent to prison. This has been done many times, but, at least someone had the balls to stand up and say something, even knowing what the consequences would be probably. You go to war knowing that you might get hurt, you tell on the sadistic guards knowing you might get hurt. But, they do let you report things anonymously. If you have to have a name, make up one of the other sadistic guards names and use that. As long as we, the people, sit on our hands and do nothing, this will keep happening.

His crime was horrific, but this murder of a man in a single man cell and sprayed like a bug is more horrific than one could imagine. This Oklahoma Warden and State Paid Parasite of 500# plus-- of poly saturated fat is the responsible immediate party for this death, but I will not allow the Director of Prisons, Howard Skolnut, to be blameless, nor the Governor, Jim Gibbons, who appointed little Howie. Just wait for the "spin" to be put on this murder by the Governor and his right hand spouse, A.G. Mastos of no fame. I'll guarantee you this will be one story of the greatest myth telling of all time. Nevada needs to put these parasites of Nevada Government to the cells that they so willingly condemn other to live their lives. Rather than just continue to slam these foul-hearted-slime-balls, just take advantage of the voter's booth and put these ignorant bunch of parasites to the curb where they belong--in the gutter, next election. There is nothing that can be said to these gutter tramps that wil hurt their feelings--as they have none, nor any conscience. Possibly, forcing the FBI to intervene is a good starting place. For the record, I have started with the FBI after the Department of Justice recommended I go to the Attorney General of our federal causes, and then, they recommended I go to the FBI. I did that and they took my complaint on the guards at Lovelock State Prison for threatening prisoners to place knives into cells of other prisoners. That's bad enough, the the administrators tried to cover it up. That was included in the complaint. Hey, I'm not finished--I also included that the Department of Justice complaint form sent to the prisoners was taken away by the same guards the complaint form was sent to them to file their grievances with the federal courts. And, no order was issued by the administrator's to have the forms returned. I think, that in itself is a crime--confiscating federal property. I may be wrong, but I'm filing on that, too. Does any one here see that we need federal oversight in Nevada's prisons? If so, get busy and start calling federal authoritiess about this current murder of Mr. Redman and all other complaints that you have and know about, and all other violations of prisoners civil rights. We all have to start some place. Now, is a good time. Have a good day.

The guards are quitting, there is no medical, the food is left out for days before they serve it, unrefrigerated, the inmates are getting ill, mentally and physically, now a MURDER....Hmmm shall we give the warden the Death Penalty??

Mr.Redmond was respected to the other inmates this prison will be on lockdown for a long time because the inmates are angry....This is murder by the state by means of a gas chamber, they choose to take it upon themselves to perform an execution without a warrant, there has got to be a price to pay for this... To the Governor: voters have loved one in the NDOC that's a reality you need to face and we are angry..you have this Hitler running this prison and that is nothing to be proud of..

This sounds like something that would happen in Iraq or another dictatorship. What kind of a man gasses someone like this? This inmate was defenseless in his cell! The warden on Ely State Prison, E.K. McDaniel has allowed a culture of violence, secrecy, lawlessness and even murder to thrive in that prison. It is time to put an end to the madness. We should demand a federal investigation and prison time for the killers, including the warden! I am ashamed to know that this is happening in this country.

That's all it is plain and simple. There is no way that anyone could defend this and be able to sleep at night thinking it was right to murder this man in this way. I hope the men that did this are unable to sleep at night because they can't get the picture of Mr. Redman out of their minds hanging as they continued to spray him with pepper spray. It makes me sick to know even after hanging himself they didn't let up on spraying him with more. How cold hearted can someone be? I think there should be an investigation into this, I think the government should step in and do a federal investigation before this, along with many others, is swept under the rug and people continue to get away with murder under the color of law. There has to come a time where people stand up and say enough is enough and actually do something about this abuse that is going inside the prison within Nevada. The people can only scream so loud, it's time for people that can actually do something, TO DO IT!! These kinds of things have to stop. These guards (never will I call them an officer) scream --- "We protect you from these monsters and we should be respected for that job and patted on the back for a job well done!" My question to these people, WHO IS GOING TO PROTECT US FROM YOU? You wear a uniform, you take an oath, you wear a badge and you murder someone and think you deserve respect? You deserve to be imprisoned and pray that you are never treated as the man you murdered on 11/18/2009. If you are what protect me from monsters, I would rather defend myself.
