Private Message To My Latest Known Troll

As anyone who writes and blogs publicly knows, all of us occasionally find ourselves dealing with trolls. Sometimes, these trolls do what they do for entertainment, sometimes they do it because they feel challenged when others fail to agree with their viewpoints. Then, sometimes, they do it to stalk and take revenge for real or imagined slights. At the moment, it appears that your faithful blogger has picked up a troll whose reasons fall into the category of the latter. So please bear with me as I address this person; he/she/them is completely aware of his/her/their identity. This is directed at the troll, not at anyone else. I know that it will be read on this site by the appropriate party.

To my latest troll; I know who you are. I know your name, your location, your employment situation, and your physical address. I am also aware of your criminal history, and that of most of your friends. These are facts I can prove. I made the mistake of trusting you in the past, despite advice to the contrary from quite a few people, many of whom are your own neighbors and workmates. In fact, the relative with whom you share quarters has lost a few friends because of you. Someone who lives near you once asked me to make sure you are never at his home, because of your history. Yes, it preceded you then, and it precedes you now. Back when your problems were mostly petty crimes, I tolerated you; but when I had children, I could no longer afford to do so. Some of your associates are not only shady, but truly disgusting, and any parent who cares for his or her children will shy away from involvement with folks like you, troll. So that is what I did.

Yes, when your friend fled his state of residence because of a warrant for human trafficking and kiddie porn, I turned him in. You've known that for years. But here's the thing: why didn't you turn him in? Wanna know who gave me his location? It was your mother! Why didn't she turn him in? Do you both like that kind of stuff? And after he went to jail, where was your gratitude? Why were you on the wrong side of that issue? That is another reason for any parent to be aware of you.

I really don't care how angry you are with me anymore. I have already accepted you as a complete waste of space, and I do not believe you are ever going to change. I do not have any time for those who support you, or for the defendant described in the paragraph above, either. One thing upon which I will spend time, however, is the good old three for one law. I will also make some of the paperwork that is on file, proving your own history, available for the perusal of those with whom you spend time every day. I will do this every time you contact me, a member of my family, one of my friends or associates, or a member of my community. I promise.

Kansas Whiner Cries Tears When A Thief Goes To Prison

Here's a comment that I got from a disgusting hypocrite last night:

I don't know who you are, or where you live (assume Frankfort) but where are your so called morals. You should really get all of the facts about a persons life before you go posting such horrible things about any person, their family and especially their children. You have done nothing more in reading all of this other than use this blog to use your fingers do damage to a woman and her family with out knowing the whole story. You have named her children which I am sure have been through enough and exposed them to your trash, damaged her husband if he chose to read your trash all to express your dissatisfaction of something the seemed to have happened to you. And this all from someone who doesn't seem to even know the family nor knows the whole story. You have a right to your opinion if that is what you want to call it, but you at least should know the facts and not leave it up to a majority of hearsay and false information and not use a sight like this to vent your own problems

And here's my response:

I read your silly-assed comment last night, but was too busy and preoccupied, with matters more meaningful, to respond. I see you jumped on here this morning, waiting to see if I had published it. Okay, here's your fifteen minutes. Let me respond to the key points here, that may or many not make a difference to anyone else, out there, in internetland. Yes, I live close enough to Frankfurter Village to read and otherwise be apprised of the news and general happenings there. Not that it makes a difference; newspapers in all parts of Kansas sung the praises of Monica Smart. She does, indeed, have a reputation, but blaming me is silly. My audience is not anywhere near as big as that of WIBW, The Topeka Capitol Journal, or the FBI's press release. While Marshall County does, indeed, make nominally successful efforts to keep most of its crime out of the news, the rest of the media and the FBI have no problem publicizing the identities of crooks, along with naming their special crimes. And Monica Smart's crime was pretty special, for a frankfurter. Most frankfurters muddle along with misdemeanors, such as vandalism or drunk driving, when they celebrate their various rites of passage, but Smartypants outdid them all. This is where the rest of the world comes in: she committed fraud and stole half a million dollars. The FBI took notice, and truly does not care about the fact that Monica Smart is a pink and fluffy Caucasion blonde who lives in Frankfort and loves Jesus. She was charged in federal court, and the rest of America has the right to the information. It IS everyone's business if Monica Gale Smart is a thief! I know that you were probably very surprised when the judge sentenced her, and she went to Carswell, but being a pink and white frankfurter does not exclude her from consequences. One of those consequences is, appropriately, people such as yours truly maintaining a publicly expressed opinion about that no matter who wants to protect a pink and fluffy criminal. Crime is still crime, and pink and fluffy blondes who get caught embarking upon lives of crime should not be spared any of the consequences experienced by their more swarthy, slim, and graceful fellow Americans, who become victims of selective justice altogether too often. If Smarty couldn't do the time, she should not have done the crime. And by the way, when Monica's delusional mother attempted to buy an ankle bracelet and home detention, instead of prison time, I was happy to see the judge ignore her. The judge has a moral responsibility to consider fair sentencing for all who come before the bench, not just special favors for those whose parents are rich enough to buy more lenient sentences. When I read that Monica Smart's mother (ahem) tried to do that, I was very offended. How dare someone try to pervert or corrupt justice?

My real point in writing that post was really not to insult Monica Smart. The post was actually about the frankenfurter community, the school, especially, and the approval of Smart's unlawful behaviors. I know that I am quite old fashioned and conservative, compared to the average Kansan, but allowing a convicted felon continuous access to a public school sets a bad example. I am not talking about the occasional parent with a criminal record, who attends a parent/teacher conference; Smartypants had lunch in the cafeteria with her husband, a teacher, on a regular basis. In fact, since he was named in at least one civil proceeding, I think it would have been better for the students at the school if his position had been terminated. Crime is not widely accepted in real communities, with real schools, whose students have real parents. Most of us do not want convicted felons near our children. I wrote the post because Dean Dalinghaus, the principal at Frankfort Experiment, told yours truly that he was pressuring children to attend christian churches because he has a responsibility to "teach morals". In my world, teaching morals does not include sending a message of approval of federal theft or wire fraud, so I was curious to hear his excuse. I was also deeply concerned that in the event that Smartypants's status changed while waiting for a bed in prison, and she was supposed to be somewhere else, the SWAT team would converge upon the school, raining bullets left and right. Stranger things have happened. Your loved one is not only a criminal, but a convicted felon. Get used to these precautions. Jesus doesn't care about your feelings, either.

I actually did not name anyone in her family. A couple of other, more widely read publications did, though. But why is that so important? Are you suggesting that Monica Smart's family deserves more consideration than others get? That's very interesting: is it because she is pink, fluffy, and of course, white? Or is it because you think she has a personal right to steal from people?

Oh, by the way, I do not need to get all the facts about Monica Smart's so-called life before I determine that the FBI's findings and subsequent court conviction were correct. All her life really contained was a series of non-events in Kansas and some criminal activity that was serious enough to send her to prison. Nothing else. And if you want to protect her family, or her children, please remember that those very people not only silently allowed her to steal from her employers and customers, but have enabled crime in other places, too. I have never seen any of them stand up for justice and for the truth.

Jailhouse Confession In Lyon Sisters Case

Does anyone remember March 25, 1975, when Sheila and Katherine Lyon, of Maryland, disappeared from Wheaton Plaza? Almost forty years have gone by, with virtually nothing in the way of answers, then a tip was suddenly shared late in 2013. Information and testimony led law enforcement away from Maryland and into Thaxton Virginia, specifically, Taylor's Mountain. Several sites were examined and dug up, and a woman named Patricia Welch was arrested in Virginia for lying to the grand jury about the case.  The newest tidbit of information is that a couple of days ago, a Delaware prisoner by the name of Lloyd Lee Welch admitted that he was a passenger in the car that left Wheaton Plaza with the girls!

After forty years, a backhanded confession. Lloyd Lee Welch still does not admit any contact with them after leaving Wheaton Plaza in the same car with both girls, but by the end of the first day they were missing, it's almost certain that he knew police were searching for them. So why didn't he share his informational gem in 1975? A response from Mr. Welch is not anticipated, as he currently sits in prison because of his inappropriate and unlawful approach to prepubescent girls. He also gave an account to law enforcement in 1975 about the whole thing, omitting, of course, the part about his own presence in the getaway car. A polygraph that was administered at the time indicated that Mr. Welch was deceptive. The only reason he was taken terribly seriously in recent efforts has to do with his intimate knowledge of certain details about this case; the few details that are possessed by law enforcement.

It has also been clarified in recent days that at least one set of remains has been recovered from a dig site on Taylor's Mountain. The process of identifying the remains is still in the works, and hopefully, John and Mary Lyon will get some answers about what happened to their daughters almost forty years ago.

While We Are On The Subject Of Petitions

Maryland has a prisoner by the name of Timothy Conrad Phillips. Mr. Phillips took up residence in prison because he murdered two small children and pretended, at first, that he didn't do it. He was sentenced to twenty years for each murder, plus ten more years for the abuses that went hand in hand with the murders, but the sentences unfortunately run concurrent, rather than consecutive. He also has a parole hearing in January of 2015. If Mr. Phillips gets parole, he will have only served seventeen years of his sentence. Neither Amani Renee Robinson or Andre Michael Whitworth had a chance to reach the age of seventeen; why should Mr. Phillips reside somewhere outside of prison after only serving seventeen years?

There is a petition circulating now, requesting that probation not be granted to Timothy Conrad Phillips. You can peruse and sign it if you follow this link. Please sign it, and share it with everyone. It's time for all of us to stop hearing about this type of crime.

Frankfort School's Deranged Priorities, Once Again

A couple of nights ago, I spoke with a child who attends Frankfort School, in Frankfort, Kansas. This is not unusual, since the (ahem cough cough ahem) school, and I do use the term loosely, here; is in the district that includes my residence. What is unusual is the fact that this child had heard bits and pieces of information by way of character assassination of an innocent man, along with some serious misinformation about his family, yet had heard nothing at all about the spouse of a teacher at the same school who is currently in federal prison; Carswell, in Texas, to be exact; for embezzling truckloads of money from her previous employers! I was stunned, because according to some of the older students, this woman had been allowed in and out of the school building regularly to see her husband, despite the dangers involved in allowing convicted felons access to schools and children, yet no notices explaining this decision had been sent to parents in order to enable qualified decisions about student safety and the children who knew about this had been told to "keep quiet" about the whole thing, in order to "preserve" the widdle feelins' of the thief's spouse!

This is a crock for several reasons. First of all, lies, false testimony, and confidential information has been spewed almost everywhere at Frankfort School about yours truly and family. My culture, family, and religion have also been denigrated by teachers and administration there, to the extent that all six of my children have come home in tears, partly because of the bullying efforts of the children of the aforementioned thief. Despite my complaints about all of it, and my requests that it stop, no one "working" at the school had any concerns about my feelings, or the feelings of my children. Why would the feelings of someone who "feels" that state and federal law only applies when convenient, or to other people, be more important than the feelings of law abiding citizens? Secondly, most schools do not employ federal criminals or their spouses. There are simply too many risks and problems connected to such individuals. Everything from a defendant possibly becoming a fugitive, or becoming perceived as a fugitive by authorities, to retaliation of unhappy victims can create an unsafe environment for others, and a convicted felon has lost the right to vote, and many of the other rights of citizenship, so the felon and those who protect the felon generally do not have as much to lose in terms of future opportunities as the rest of us. Parents have a right to know this is going on at Frankfort School, and the administration of Frankfort School has apparently denied that knowledge to parents. Third, it seems entirely possible, at this point, that the faculty at Frankfort School has an unrecognized, but very real, interest in covering up any dangers presented by criminal behavior on the parts of their "own". They work hard to turn everyone against anyone whose lifestyle, race, or religion is not the product of Frankfort Kansas unvaried genetic pool in order to smokescreen and hide their own crimes. All to keep their white elephant of a school open so that a few teachers and secretaries can collect unearned salaries until they retire. Perhaps Frankfort School should become a private school, so that no one's taxes are drawn upon to support this crap, and so that parents who love their children can send their children to a real school.

Just as there is no valid reason to harass the innocent, there is no valid reason to protect the guilty.

In Case You Skipped Church This Sunday

California Answers The Call Of A Michigan Pig

Remember a few weeks ago, when a sixty year old woman named Jamie Lewis was arrested in California for a prison escape in Michigan way back in 1977? Law enforcement in California immediately deferred to law enforcement in Michigan and popped right over to Ms. Lewis's home and arrested her forthwith for the jailbreak, and in an ongoing effort to embarrass the poor woman in front of her neighbors and children, told reporters that she had "changed her name"....something most women do at their weddings.......and had thus eluded capture for thirty-seven years. As it turns out, Ms. Lewis had turned herself in all the way back in 1982, and the case had been revisited, at which time she was sentenced to time already served, AHEM, and released. The offending "name change" did not occur until a year later. How's that for a state that routinely allows that statute of limitations to elapse when collecting and analyzing evidence for rape? On February 4, 2014, the day Jamie Lewis's false arrest made the news, California had an estimated backlog of 400,000 rape kits that had not been processed. Some of this evidence dates back to the early nineties. The victims in these cases are constantly told that someone will get back to them, and finally, they stop asking about this elusive and non-occurring justice. But......there is always time and resources for the California judicial system to  answer the call of a pig in another state and arrest someone for whom there is no arrest warrant. Yeppers.

Not Only A Troll, But A Liar

Here's what nonthinking frankfurter moron said I said:  I don't think its fair to bring her daughter into this matter. You are wrong about her daughter not being sick, she has seizures and needs someone to take care of her.

And here's what I actually said: Her mother tried to buy home confinement and an ankle bracelet by paying $50,000 toward restitution, and there were some greatly exaggerated claims about an illness on the part of a family member who supposedly needs Monica's care, (ha! that's simply not true) but the judge gave her prison time, anyway.

The post about which frankfurters are having psychotic attacks is this one, about Monica Smart and her theft of half a million dollars. Anyone wishing to see what I actually said can read the above copied sentence, in which I mentioned a relative of Monica Smart, and discussion in court about the relative's need for ongoing care from Monica because of a medical problem. Did I say daughter? No! Did I say seizures? No! While the Marysville Advocate and the Topeka Capital Journal did say daughter and seizures, I did not, because it's not anyone else's personal business, and it's not part of the story or the situation at hand. The reason I mentioned it is because it sounded to me as if Monica Smart was using her child as a bargaining chip in court, in order to avoid the problem she faces of having the laws apply to her, just like the laws apply to people from other parts of the country.  And I think that's really low. If Monica was really terribly concerned about caring for anyone with medical problems, it seems to me that a life of crime was contraindicated. As in: "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime." But Monica, after the manner of other under-socialized, Midwestern Americans of Anglo-Saxon and Germanic descent, thought she was too white to go to jail. Or that the prosecution couldn't really be serious about consequences. Or that mommy could buy her way out of prison. Or that Jesus would save her......or something like that. When none of those things turned out to be true in her case, she used one of her kids as a pawn. But; disgruntled frankfurter troll: I did not reveal the adult child's identity. THAT WAS YOU!

Then, my troll went on to say this: I have not personally attacked you and I would be willing to bet that Monica's daughter has not done so either.

It would not surprise me in the slightest if this non-thinking, sappy, unbalanced, emotional little troll was out gossiping about me, and my family, right now. The troll actually had a contorted notion that I made a statement I didn't make, and even in the presence of the printed words that I actually DID write, reacted as if I wrote what she thought I wrote, instead of what I wrote! Can anyone see why the inbred population of long term, under-socialized, silly-assed residents in this community annoy me so much? Not all of them; but definitely the ones connected to the school, and the ones who maintain friendships that surround the school. I didn't even mention the specific relationship of the family member whom Monica Smart was using as a "Get Out Of Jail Free Card".

I should probably remind my troll, whose signal did reach me from somewhere very local to the teeming metropolis of Frankfort, that inbreeding is against the law, too. You won't go to prison for it, like Monica Smart, but dagnab.......if everyone could comprehend and think critically, instead of interpreting data the way you do, the world would be a much better place.

Update On The Morals Taught By Frankfort Kansas School

Not too long ago, I mentioned the spouse of a teacher at the small public school in Frankfort Kansas, because she embezzled a bunch on money from her employer, an insurance company, and from her clients. About half a million dollars. On Monday, January 13, Monica Smart was sentenced in federal court to twenty-one months in prison. Her mother tried to buy home confinement and an ankle bracelet by paying $50,000 toward restitution, and there were some greatly exaggerated claims about an illness on the part of a family member who supposedly needs Monica's care, (ha! that's simply not true) but the judge gave her prison time, anyway. Sometime within the next month or so, Mrs. Smart will get notified that there is space at one of the womens' prisons in the country, and she will be chained up and flown to it, unless it happens to be within driving distance. That's simply not supposed to happen to frankfurters! Especially Christian frankfurters.......Jesus is supposed to protect them from getting caught when they commit crimes!

There are several reasons why this bothers me. First of all, not only Monica Smart, but her husband, Larry Smart, a public school teacher, was found to be compromised in the investigation. At this writing, he does not appear to have any charges lodged against him, but he is the subject of civil complaints connected to his wife's conduct. While she is serving time in a federal prison, he will obviously maintain sympathies toward someone who held others in contempt by stealing half a million dollars from them. If she escapes or fails to report to federal marshals, and becomes a fugitive, federal marshals will rip through everywhere to which she has a connection, in desperate and feverish pursuit. The first places they normally check, in those situations, are the family residences of fugitives. If her big poofy blond head is not found at home, they will probably try to find her husband. They may or may not care about the fact that Larry is employed at a school. I, personally, would not want a teacher to put some fugitive's interests and well being ahead of any child's, but Larry Smart is married to a convicted felon.

The moral message passed along to students is disturbing, as well. Frankfort School has had run-ins with the ACLU and federal agencies in the past concerning the disturbing habit of interfering with the cultures and religions of others; only to try, unsuccessfully, to argue that forcing religious activities is "teaching morals". Is the Smarts' complicity in embezzling, and the act of welcoming the Smarts and their crime, with open arms and no caution, an example of "teaching morals"? They used their stolen money to pay for expensive school trips and other frills that I could not afford for my children. My daughter, unaware of the embezzling, truly thought that she was not loved by her family because we do not embezzle or steal to gain such an advantage. Why would the school even play along? Why did teachers and school administration tell my children that if I loved them, I would have enough money to pay for vehicles for all of them and for trips, just as the Smarts and other teachers? (yes, the Smarts' ample provision for their childrens' luxuries was thrown in my face by angry children more than once.....only my angry children didn't realize how deeply criminal their community can be, at times) Some of the teachers at Frankfort, as well as the principal, have gone out of their way to make sure that all of my childrens' classmates knew that while others can occasionally work freely and happily from home at freelance projects, it was morally wrong for yours truly to do so. For me to take advantage of such an option made me lazy, and put my life in the category of welfare fraud, (even though I have never been on welfare) according to the frankfurter folks, and that's exactly what the sixth grade teacher told my children! It seems that being a stay at home mom is something that is afforded to those sweet Christian women who usually have open legs to go along with their open bibles; but not to me. It's not okay with Frankfort Kansas if I stay home and take care of my children. But it is okay with Frankfort Kansas if an insurance agent steals half a million dollars. She is, after all, doing something to benefit her family!

On Monday, a relative of Alice Jones, the library director who lets children bring booze and illegal drugs into the library, was still defending the Smarts. I can only guess that this woman was not a victim of the fraud and embezzling; however, speaking of Alice Jones, perhaps Monica's motive was to keep up with the Jones's. But to keep up with these particular Jones's, stealing half a million dollars needn't have been Monica's special crime: she could have just hired some high school students via Heartland Works and let them come to work drunk, straight from school, and bring some recreational prescription pills with them, right Alice Jones? Safety in the school is compromised by the husband of a convicted felon on the premises, and teaching the whole disgusting lesson that violating federal law is acceptable, as long as one gets away with it, is simply wrong. This is not the kind of example teachers should set.

In a rather glaring example of dereliction of duty, Laura Johnson-McNish attended the sentencing hearing, rather than attending to the duties of the office of Marshall County Prosecutor. She did not prosecute this case, and lost the only case she ever tried, all by herself, before a jury. Had the citizens of Kansas actually been forced to rely upon the legal expertise of Johnson-McNish, Smart would still be robbing insurance customers blind. Johnson-McNish is only effective when a defendant who has been caught red handed is willing to cop a plea, and even then, she is only marginally effective. Why did I, as a taxpayer, have to pay her salary for a day's galavanting as a spectator in proceedings to which she had no viable contribution? Taxpayers should not have to pay for Laura Johnson-McNish to satisfy her curiosity any more than they should have to pay for her to go to the movies. And why did Laura Johnson-McNish address the press on this matter?

"I would like to thank Chief Todd Ackerman, the Marysville Police Department, FBI agent Scott Gentine, and Christine Kenney, attorney with the U.S. attorney general's office, for their efforts in securing justice in this case."

Not only did she have the gall to thank those who actually are qualified to practice law and dispense justice as if they had actually done her a personal favor; she does not, and has never, cared about securing justice. No one should be fooled by McNish's pandering. Her position, as county attorney, is elected.

Goodbye, Nelson Mandela

Nelson Mandela was not merely a politician, he was a statesman. He did not claim to be unafraid at all times, yet when he was afraid, he went ahead and did the right thing, anyway. When there was a price to be paid for doing what he knew needed to be done, he did not change his mind. He was unwilling to sell out those who looked up to him, and unwilling to sell his soul. Goodbye, Nelson Mandela. You will always be remembered for promoting peace, and you will be missed by many.

Maybe enough of us to make a difference in this world can learn from Nelson Mandela.

 

 

Derrick Deacon Is Finally Free

Derrick Deacon just got released from prison in New York, after serving almost twenty-five years behind bars for a murder he did not commit. After new testimony and new evidence surfaced, Deacon was granted a new trial. It took a jury all of nine minutes to find Deacon "Not Guilty" with the new evidence. Congratulations to Derrick Deacon for standing up for himself all these years, but why did he get convicted in the first place? It seems that the district attorney's office in Kings county, New York, didn't have the balls to go after a gang member who shot a teenager during a robbery, so police arrested a homeless man, Deacon, instead. A young woman by the name of Colleen Campbell saw the actual killer, and told law enforcement. While she did not know the identity of the actual killer, she knew who Deacon was, and that he did not commit the murder. This should have been sufficient, in the absence of any other evidence, to rule Deacon out. but not so fast......gangs are dangerous and notorious for vengeance, and homeless people do not put up much of a fight when coerced and pushed around, and Kings County needed a conviction, right? A homeless man is much safer to victimize than a gang member, so the prosecutor saw to it that Deacon was arrested and prosecuted for the crime, instead of the guilty party. When Campbell didn't want to convict an innocent man, investigators and prosecutors threatened to have her children removed from her home!

"Deacon's case raises troubling questions about how he was convicted in the first place. The Village Voice reports that Deacon was convicted after investigators coerced a witness named Colleen Campbell, who knew he hadn't commited the crime.

At Deacon's retrial, Campbell said authorities had threatened to take her kids away if she testified that she knew Deacon wasn't the killer, according to the Village Voice. Another witness testified that Deacon did commit the shooting, which was enough to convict him."......Mike Krumboltz, Yahoo News.

Since when does testifying in court, or not testifying in court, or telling the truth, for that matter.....equal child abuse or child neglect? This stunt of threatening the children of witnesses in order to gain untruthful testimony seems to be a prosecutor's ace in the hole, these days! Is this the true role of Child Protective Services, assisting prosecutors in the attainment of wrongful convictions by threatening to hold hostage the children of witnesses? That might help explain why caseloads are bursting at the seams, and why Child Protective Services isn't always available to the child who actually needs them! Taxpayers are forced to pay them to enforce the whims of crooked court officials! Sad, but apparently true.

Twenty-five years of an innocent man's life.

 

Brett Seacat Gets To Move Out Of State

Brett Seacat, the Kansas policeman convicted of deliberately burning down his house in Kingman, Kansas, with his wife inside of it, gets to serve his life sentence at another prison, at an undisclosed location. Kansas Department of Corrections has a protocol allowing cops to serve time in prisons other than where they would be incarcerated normally, so they won't have to serve alongside prisoners they may have arrested. Isn't that special? If Seacat had food allergies or autoimmune disease, there would be no special accommodations. If Seacat needed a restricted diet for medical reasons, it would probably be ignored. If Seacat had a mental illness, chances are rather strong that no one in the Department of Corrections would worry about it. But the fact that Seacat is a cop means he merits special treatment and taxpayers have to pay to transport him from El Dorado to a prison somewhere else. Why can't taxpayers get the choice of what gets funded and prioritized within the prison system? They might worry about healthcare before worrying about the safety of dirty cops.

 

Reverend Hugh Cranford Sentenced For Molesting Children

 

Here is a quick update to last year's Sunday School Rapes in Topeka: Hugh Cranford was sentenced to four years and nine months in prison. Perhaps he will preach and teach Sunday School there.

This was taken from Cranford's Facebook page. It seems that all too often, sexual predators pull this very idea off, even in court. It's refreshing to see that Cranford will be out of circulation for awhile. Frankfort School in Northeast Kansas will probably offer him a teaching position after he serves his time.

 

Bradley Manning

This is important.......there will be a demonstration for Pfc. Bradley Manning in forte Meade, Maryland, on June 1. Manning was arrested in 2010 for sharing information about the untimely deaths of civilians in Afganistan. He risked life in prison to get the information to the public. You can sign up for the event here.

 

Maine Officials Upset Because Prison Guards Cannot Abuse In Secret Anymore

This video came from an article entitled Maine Officials Seeking Pepper-Spray Video Leak. It seems that a corrections officer at a prison in Windham named Shawn Welch, along with some cohorts, determined that donning protective gear and spraying pepper spray directly into the face of a restrained prisoner needing medical attention was appropriate. His boss fired him, but he appealed that decision, and the board of amusing people who run the prison decided to take him back after a thirty day suspension. Meanwhile, Maine officials are deeply concerned with who obtained and leaked footage of the incident to the public. Yep. That's a much, much bigger concern than any other matter here. Where's the eye-rolley when I need it?
 

 

Someone Shut Paul Ryan Up, Please.

Geesh. My teenagers have more realistic notions about the world and the population at large than Paul Ryan has. Yes, rape IS another form of conception, but does Paul Ryan want to encourage it? It certainly looks that way. I really can't think of a better way to become one of the forty-seven percent of Romney's instant "throw-aways" who "do not matter".

D'Andre Lane Found Guilty In Bianca Jones Murder

Bianca Jones, the toddler who disappeared in Detroit shortly before Christmas last year, is still missing, but her father, D'Andre Lane, was found guilty yesterday in her murder. I wish I could hug the grandmother in the video. This is so sad.

What's almost completely unbelievable is that D'Andre Lane actually wore an orange shirt to court.....the same shade of orange as jumpsuits worn in prison! He may as well have worn a sign reading "I did it. Find me guilty, already!"

 

Terri Horman should take note of this case. D'Andre Lane was charged, tried, and convicted despite the failure to find Bianca.

 

Christina Devine Goes To Prison

There have been a lot of hits to this blog in the past couple of days, looking for information about the subject of this post. Christina Devine, of Emporia, Kansas, has been sentenced to one hundred and fifty-five months, that's almost thirteen years, in prison, for leaving her newborn in a dumpster in October of 2010. The baby survived, by the way; that's the good news here. This is the second child, so far, that this woman has born, yet refused to support. Hopefully, Miss Devine will undergo a tubal ligation while she is in prison.

Siri Search About Warren Jeffs

There was a "Siri search" today asking the location of the residence of Warren Steed Jeffs, the Mormon bishop who got into a bunch of trouble because some of the members of his harem were too young to be sex slaves. The answer is, Utah State Prison. Despite all the support he got from Jesus, God, and whoever else he thinks listens to his prayers for more virgins, he found out that molesting children is against the law here in America. At one point during the past decade, he had lots of control over a large part of the population in Utah, via his church, but that was not enough to keep him out of the pokey. I'm sure it's all good, though; with a middle name like Steed, he's almost certain to have found companionship in prison.

If You Were Absent On Sunday

If you were absent from church on Sunday, here's what you might have missed: the sermon, from convicted child molester, Warren Jeffs, also a Mormon pastor, delivering his sermon via cell phone! No joke; while other convicted child molesters are shunned by the public and ordered by the courts to leave their victims alone, and stay away from the communities where their crimes were committed, this Mormon minister thought the laws and court orders did not apply to him. So he continued to address his congregation, anyway, after claiming in court that his abuses of children made God and Jesus happy. At this juncture, I should remind everyone that he would not have been able to do this without assistance, and since he has this kind of assistance to begin violating the terms of his probation before he is even on probation, Warren Jeffs probably will never stop molesting little girls.

As a result of Warren Jeffs's scorn of the law, he has, forthwith, been stopped from preaching sermons to his congregations because he is not allowed to talk on the phone from prison anymore. So if you were absent from church on Sunday, you would not have heard the gospel according to Jeffs, anyway. Thank the Gods!

Jesus probably isn't taking calls from Warren Jeffs, either!
