News Items, then a rant about murderous thugs

Just a few various news items floating around today:

Michael Jackson has decided to look for a new country to live in. No longer feels that the United States is his home. Try heading for the second star on the right, then on 'til morning. Godspeed, dipshit.

Koreans successfully clone dog. The first country in the world to now have a perpetual food supply!

Boy scout killed at Camp Steiner. If they're not being hounded by the ACLU, they're being injured or killed in droves. Wow, this has really been a bad press year for the Boy Scout organization, with one minor exception.

Finding Garrett - The Bardsley family is making one last attempt to locate the body of 13-year old Garrett Bardsley, who was lost in the Uintah Mountains last year on a scout trip. I can think of nothing more horrifying than having a missing child, and I can relate to their desire to bring him home. My heart and prayers go out to these people. I'd be there, if I had vacation time to take from work.

Brooke Wilberger Update on the missing BYU coed from Corvallis, Oregon. It seems they have enough evidence to put a man behind bars, but no body yet. What do you bet the man only gets 15 to Life in prison, with the possibility of parole in 10 years for good behavior. What, have more faith in the American justice system than that? I would suggest you read up on the following:
  • Brian David Mitchell: Kidnapped then 15 year old Elizabeth Smart, sexually assaulted her, and kept her hostage for nine months before being discovered by authorities. Sentence? Probably a few years in jail, then a bit longer in a mental institution after that; we don't know yet. Because every time he goes to trial, the fruitcake starts singing hymns and calling people to repentance. Then the judge has to dismiss him from the courtroom. I'll have to remember that strategy if I'm ever in front of a judge for a speeding ticket.

  • Mark Hacking: Shot his wife and disposed of her body in a garbage dumpster. Sentence? 6 years to life in prison. All that for shooting the love of your life, then throwing her away in a garbage can. My wife won't let me grow a goatee because of this idiot.

  • Dennis Rader: The infamous BTK killer. Pled guilty to 10 grisly murders in the Wichita, Kansas area. Sometimes killing people in front of their own children. Sentence? It won't be the death sentence, because Kansas didn't re-introduce the death penalty until 1994, well after his atrocities had been committed. "I'll be paying for this with a life sentence..." he says. Yeah right, asshole. You should be afforded the same courtesy that was extended to each of your victims.

  • Joseph Edward Duncan III: Slaughtered an entire family just because he was aroused when seeing an 8 year old girl playing in a kiddie pool in her front yard, and wanted to molest her. Sentence? None yet, as we await the trial and consequent sentencing. However, judging by his previous record, it won't be long 'til this pig walks the streets again.

  • John Couey: Kidnapped nine year old Jessica Lunsford in Florida, raped her, then buried her alive. Sentence? None yet; court date set for February 6, 2006. His lawyer expects a change of venue, along with throwing out his confession as "inadmissable in court" due to a technicality. They say that prostitution is the world's oldest profession; lawyers pull in a close second, with striking similarities.

  • Alejandro Avila: Kidnapped, raped and murdered 5-yr old Samantha Runnion in California in 2002. Sentence? Death. Yay Judge! The judge told him at the sentencing hearing that he had "forfeited his right to live". Right on. But wait... the last person executed in California spent 20 years and 10 months on death row. Why does justice wait so long?

I am many things, but the best title I have is Daddy, and I wear it with pride! There is nothing that I love more in this world than my children, and God help the man (or woman) that ever attempts or succeeds at hurting my children.

There are small signs in my windows...hardly noticable, unless you are trying to break into my house through one. These signs put the potential troublemaker on notice that if they succeed in entering our home, they will be leaving in a body bag. You think a mother bear is protective of her young? You ain't seen nothin' yet.
