America's Most Wanted

I found this very interesting article regarding John Walsh and AMW. It is from 1992, but still something that should not be allowed to fall of the Web. Have a look.

Nowadays one can be portrayed as a wanton murderer on a nationally televised program, get killed by police less than 48 hours later, and have the nation invited by television to applaud the death within the week.

That fate befell Cesar Mazariego-Molina, 26, an undocumented worker from El Salvador, who L.A. County sheriff's deputies said killed rookie Sheriff's Deputy Nelson Yamamoto in a gun battle. Less than two days after the case was featured on the TV program America's Most Wanted, New York State police killed him with a shotgun blast to the back of the head.

What ever happened to Haleigh?

I was reading some news and came across this very disturbing story. Regarding Haleigh Cumming's father and a dispute he has with his new father-in-law. The disturbing aspect of this is two fold. First, do you see how quickly the story has disappeared from the front page now that the only suspects are family members? Second, why is the father, in his deranged way, doing revenge hits on a mailbox when he should be out looking everywhere for his daughter?

Here is the problem I have. As a father of girls, I would be sleeping in tents, walking to every house I could find with flyers, pictures, anything that would help find my child. I would quit my job to search for ANY of my children or Grandchildren. It is very telling of a parent that runs out to marry a teen-aged 'girlfriend' just weeks after your child has disappeared. Does it say something of what became of Haleigh? Does it say something to WHO is involved? I find it all disgusting and in poor taste. Something happened to this child, and it had nothing to do with a Sex Offender uncle from Tennessee taking her. These two know what happened, maybe they had a drug induced violent outburst, maybe the child got into their drugs, or maybe, just maybe they were under full control of their facilities and harmed the child. Whichever happened, it is time to take these two behind the barn and get some answers. As an rSO, I am tired of being scared every time some low-rent human decides to off their kids, then scream a sex offender took them.. I grow weary of cops showing up at my house, and I REALLY despise the disregard they have for me as a person by not coming BACK and saying that they were sorry they violated my rights as a citizen by harassing me.

Ronald Cummings, father of 5-year-old Haleigh Cummings, stuffed a dead rat into his new father-in-law's mailbox, Hank Croslin told the Putnam County Sheriff's Office.

Child Kidnapped, Police Looking for shadows

Here is a story that is beginning to sound all to familiar. Child is left in a car by parents (or parent) and mysteriously after only 'a few minutes' the child disappears. This scam is happening more and more across the country as people attempt to get over with the fear of a kidnapper, or a sex offender, grabbing their kid. 15 years ago the authorities would have lost no time in grabbing up both of these assholes and putting thumb screws on them to find this little boy. But today, due in no small part to the myth of sex offenders grabbing kids, the police spend the first precious 48 hours handing out flyers and canvassing areas looking for this child. How many rSO's have they woken up out of bed or detained illegally so far because of the hysteria caused by the ilk of John Walsh and Family Watchdog? headline below, with link to full story.

OAKLAND, CA (KGO) -- Family members of a missing disabled Fremont boy are hoping someone can help find him. Police say 5-year-old Hasanni Campbell was last seen in Oakland two days ago. He has cerebral palsy, but family members say he doesn't have leg braces on the outside of his pants.

I hope the child is found, but I fear that too much time has been wasted by police looking for shadows instead of forcing the parents to confess their guilt. My Opinion obviously..

The myth of the high re-offense rate

Are Americans really this stupid?  Again and again I read that Americans truly believe that there is a high re-offense rate of sex offenders once they are through with Therapy and their sentences.  Here is a comment from a recent news story:

To Saffman: I don't know the registry laws in VT, but in MA a person convicted of a level one offense (public urination, etc.) are NOT listed. It is is only the level 2 and 3 offenders. And they SHOULD be listed, because they have a very high rate of re-offending. And sorry, but most of the people CANNOT be helped. And way to go for blaming parents for a sex offenders "mistake"...let me guess, it's the kid's fault, too?

Is this person making things up, or does he know something that someone else doesn't. Again and again we have seen study after study that presents facts about the re-offense rates of rSO's. And the facts cannot lie. The University of Washington, The DoJ, and several scholars have also pointed out the incredibly low re-offense rate of offenders.

However, due to the sensationalist writers of the media, you never hear of such things and thus the myth of high re-offense remains. So I challenge all of you that read here, When you see a article about the lie of high re-offense, or if you see a idiotic comment such as that above, reply to it and show the facts. Call these morons to the carpet and lash them with the real truth. Making someone look like an idiot truly does brighten one's day.

DoJ report
3.5% Re-Offense rate

More proof the Public is too stupid ...

This guy's a real winner.. I hope he gets to see what real cops do for a living very soon...

A Johnson County man who is charged with carrying a fake police badge said he never claimed to be a police officer, but needed the badge to conduct pedophilia investigations.

Rick Monsour, of Joshua, was arrested Friday and charged with carrying false police identification. He was released from the Johnson County jail on a $25,000 bond, police said.

It's a legal badge," he said. “They took it away from me and put me in jail for it. And that's terrible. It's a big mistake."

In an interview on his front lawn Thursday, Monsour said he founded a nonprofit group in March called “Victims Who Kick Your Ass” to help police conduct pedophilia investigations.

Richard Monsour, of Joshua, was arrested carrying a fake police badge, police said.

He is the group’s self-appointed president.

Monsour said he was a victim of sexual abuse as a child.

He said his group has not yet conducted any investigations in Texas but has worked on two in Louisiana.

In Joshua, police said they do their own investigations and arrested Monsour for carrying the authentic-looking badge.

"We just want all the citizens to know that Richard Monsour is not a part of the Joshua Police Department," said Lt. Leland Cheek.

Monsour was arrested after he allegedly went door-to-door, flashed his badge and asked residents about a woman who may have been a former girlfriend, police said.

The badge included the city's name and identified Monsour as an “investigator," Cheek said.

His arrest hardly came as a shock to his neighbors.

"It doesn't surprise me one bit,” said neighbor Nancy Green. “There's been more crazy things going on next door than anyone could imagine."

Green and other neighbors said Monsour moved into his house on Bentley Street several years ago claiming he was a victim of Hurricane Katrina.

But the more he talked, they said, the less they believed him.

“There’s just so many things he has told people that are totally untrue,” said neighbor Kim Smith.

“He’s said he was friends with the pope,” added her husband, James.

But he didn’t stop there, neighbors said.

“He’s told us that he’s in the FBI and the CIA,” James Smith said.

“He said he was in the KKK and proud of it,” Kim Smith said.

At various times, he also claimed to be a paramedic and a law student, neighbors said.

Monsour denied ever telling neighbors he was a federal agent, a lawyer or a Klan member.

“That’s crazy,” he said. “I don’t even know my neighbors.”

He said he did train to be an emergency medical technician but never actually worked as one.

Monsour said he knows the pontiff and receives Christmas cards from the Vatican. He said he does not consider the two of them to be friends.

He said he was stuck on the Louisiana coast for three weeks after Hurricane Katrina came ashore.

Monsour showed a Louisiana driver’s license with his name, picture and an address in Pearl River, which is where the hurricane first made landfall.

A very well written article..

From The Texas Policy Foundation
Titled Robbed of a job
Written by Mark Levin, Director, Center for Effective Justice

http://www.texaspolicy.com/tppn_archive.php?cid=1196367884

Since the Foundation launched the Center for Effective Justice in 2005, we have identified policy solutions to reduce recidivism and limit the scope of criminal law. Similar concerns led Florida Governor Jeb Bush to issue a 2006 executive order requiring state agencies to justify barriers preventing ex-offenders from entering licensed occupations.

This is a problem in Texas because we have so many licensed occupations and so many criminal offenses that can potentially bar someone from receiving or maintaining a license. Texas has more than 2,000 criminal offenses and over 150 state-licensed occupations. Some 20 percent of Texas adults—4.7 million people—have a criminal record that would appear in a background check. Yet, ex-offenders who are employed are three to five times less likely to reoffend.

Texas law allows for revocation or denial of a license if a person has been convicted of a felony or misdemeanor that “directly relates” to the occupation, but this is often interpreted overly broadly. A conviction for drug possession, for instance, is deemed to be directly related to being a water-well driller, vehicle inspector, mortician or embalmer, and barber.

Locksmiths’ licenses are automatically revoked or denied for most offenses—one locksmith who hadn’t drank in a decade lost his license in 2006 for a 1994 DWI conviction. Yet, research has shown that a person with a conviction seven years or older is no more likely to re-offend than anyone else.

What is the motivation for these barriers? Are they to protect the public, punish ex-offenders again, or restrict competition?

We criticized proposals last session that would have added new licensed occupations, including lactation consultants, sheetmetal workers, and auto mechanics. Economics tells us that excessive barriers to entry—whether through licensing new occupations or excluding otherwise qualified professionals—will reduce the labor supply and increase the costs to consumers. Whether you are an advocate of free markets or second chances, or both, that’s reason to take offense.

Isn;t this what everyone except the Special Interests and the vigiantes have been saying all along. Problem is, There are no thinkers in the Legislature, only brainless moron bent on votes, money, and re-election. Let's see if we can't surprise one or two of them in the coming few elections.

All we hear is garbage...

Over the last few days, American's have been given confirmation of what they already suspected.  The Bush Administration was running black-ops programs with the CIA in the lead, but was holding the information back from every other organization.  Alot of laws, rules, and other items were passed, all with out the benefit of true intelligence over the 8 years Dubya was in the Big House. 

Now, loot back at the laws that govern all of us, the rSO...  They are too based on garbage, lies, and information withheld from the greater population.  All to ensure they get their next set of laws passed, to make sure the sub-class of humans, they call Sex Offender, continues to feel the full force of ever oppressive laws...

To be sure, Government, both federal and state, has definitely found its stride when lying to the public..  I wonder though, for how much longer they can continue the charade...
