did Mr.Wasserman ever write a book “100 Ways to Die and other Microstories”? i distinctly remember having a copy with the same name on it, but i’m not sure if it’s the same person.

When I google your email address, I come up with the identity of an individual who claims to “minister” to people trying to leave adult entertainment.

I find such a lack of compassion in you to be quite unbecoming of a professed christian. The fact that such attitudes are prevalent in the religious community is part of why I chose to be an atheist. If you want to throw the hypocrite label around — I bet I can make it stick to you a lot easier than you can make it stick to Mr. Wasserman’s memory.

David Wasserman was a hero? To whom? To the parents or children of the women whose histories of sexual abuse he and his clients preyed on? To the decent people in communities that had to spend their tax dollars fighting decay and increased crime in their midst, when he and his scummy clients set up shop? Unless David Wasserman encouraged his OWN child to get up on a stage and take her clothes off for strangers, he was nothing but a hypocrite. What he passionately defended was predators and pimps. Sorry that anyone was in a dark enough place to take his own life, but seriously, how could that surprise anyone? He traded in the degradation of human beings and the degeneration of the culture.

Mr. D, my dad………….not only my hero but for others as well! We all owe David Wasserman by remembering him and the battles he fought to protect us. Thank you to all his friends, family and for those who did not know him for your words. He will be deeply missed my dad and forever remembered.

Wasserman is a good cautionary tale for those who think that they want to break into the field of adult entertainment law. This is a field for those who are passionate defenders of the First Amendment — but it is a field where the consequences of judgment errors can magnify and multiply rapidly.

H.P. Lovecraft put it more succinctly:

Do not call up that which you cannot put down.

David Wasserman was my attorney in the high profile case against me back a few years ago…he and Larry Walters both…David was an exceptional man, leader, and patriot for all americans. I just learned of his suicide this morning from a Las Vegas friend, and must say it’s very heartbreaking. If not for this man and his strong beliefs in the first ammendment, I would most likely have served time for my adult website in Polk County. I owe David ALOT, and will never forget the bold statement he made for me, and with me…we worked as a team and that is exactly how I will remember David. I can’t find funeral arrangements anywhere – If you have them, could you please forward them.
Sincerely

It’s unfortunate that a good, but fallen, first amendment defender has left us. I do believe in what he stood for or what you made of him. “He was the Christian Coalition’s nightmare, a guy whose credo was naked bodies are no big deal. And none of the government’s business.” This man may have been brought down buy the system and his emotional attatchment to it, but he etched in his mind the deepest and most complicating etch of this system and he died that way. I don’t think he made a mistake. I may have not personally know him, but in the end shouldn’t we all be emotionally attatched to our governement in a sense. When a adult entertainment is censored or something of your own is censored. How can you not get emotionally envolved? We have to fight tooth and nail, even if it seems like we’re being sensless or too “emotionally envolved”, because if we don’t fight for these rights then it gets easier for someone to wash them away.
