Neo-Nazi jailed indefinitely over racist bomb plot. But many get less for more then just plotting.

I have no problem with this guy being put away.  His solution isn’t just counter productive, it’s certifiably mad at the least and supremely dangerous at worst.
Now then, that should not be taken to mean I disavow the idea of using vigilantes in some cases.  For example.  There are two very evil and feral ‘youths’ age 10 and 11, that have finally seen the inside of a court. You may recall I wrote about them some months ago.

They tortured near to death, two other young boys, burned them, slashed them, forced them to commit sex acts, tried to set fire to a little girls hair, have done robberies and burglaries and vandalism AND, tried hanging with wire one of their victims.  Just kids having fun.  And they were busy at this sort of thing for awhile till one of the victims almost died.

Ppl had been complaining about them for a long time but cops and social services did nothing.  One of the little bastards in fact was supposed to report himself to the courts as he was on bail, imagine that, at age 10, but he couldn’t attend as he was otherwise occupied beating and stabbing another kid at the time.
And how stupid could the authorities have been to think he’d report in on his own?

Well, smirking they entered court last week and due to their tender age the public isn’t allowed their photos but even worse , and get this.
They will be out of jail by age 18 if not before and if that isn’t bad enough, upon release they will be fully protected and will have their IDs hidden from the public, and will be moved somewhere, ALL AT PUBLIC EXPENSE and at the cost of hundreds of thousands of pounds.  Now I wrote “jail” here but at their age it isn’t jail as we know it.  I just can’t recall the term I saw used.

Some number of years ago, some may recall this, another couple of young boys here enticed a todler away from his mom while she was shopping.  He was not much more then a baby.  They tortured and then killed him.  They were given LIFE. HaHa. Life as you and I know doesn’t mean that at all.
They are out and free.  I think they were released in 2003.
And so I whole heartedly support the use where needed, of Vigilantes.

In the case of the two monsters mentioned at the beginning of this rant, at the least their eyes should be removed. Be pretty hard to do harm then and it’s no less then they deserve.

There’s another breaking story today with regard to a woman who planned and then stabbed to death her two teen aged daughters (age 16 and 13) multiple times. One was stabbed 39 times.  She did it to hurt her ex-husband and get even with him. 

So all that brings me to this post regarding this dickhead who planned but never got as far as actually doing the evil deeds he had in what passes for a mind.
He’s jailed inefinately.  Actually, if you take a look at his photo, you might agree that anyone looking like that should not be free to walk the streets.

Oh btw ... two other “youths” were arrested last week who were planning a Columbine copycat massacre but on a larger scale.
I wonder how soon they’ll be declared cured and out walking among us.
Stay Tuned.

Neo-Nazi jailed indefinitely over racist bomb plot
Neil Lewington, a neo-Nazi who was about to launch a racist terror campaign on the streets of Britain, has been jailed indefinitely.
DAILY MAIL
TUESDAY, SEPT. 8

Lewington, 44, wanted to emulate his far-right heroes, Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh and Soho nail bomber David Copeland.
The unemployed electrician, of Tilehurst, Reading, kept video compilations about their attacks at his home.
Police discovered a bomb factory in his bedroom after he was arrested by chance at Lowestoft railway station, Suffolk, for drunkenly abusing a female conductor.

When he was stopped and searched at the station in October last year he was found to be carrying components for two “viable improvised incendiary devices”.
Anti-terror police then raided the home where he lived with his parents and found evidence that he planned to make tennis ball shrapnel bombs to target Asian families, along with detonators and explosives.

They also discovered a notebook entitled “Waffen SS UK members’ handbook” with a logbook of drawings of electronics and chemical devices.
The link between his extremist views and interest in explosives was illustrated by a note reading “compressed thermite grenade vs Paki front door”.
He also wrote a chilling “mission statement” in which he boasted of two-man hit squads attacking “non-British people” at random.
Lewington told one woman that “the only good Paki was a dead Paki”.

He was today at the Old Bailey given an indeterminate sentence for public protection and told he must serve at least six years in jail after being convicted of having explosives with intent to endanger life and preparing for terrorism.
Lewington was also found guilty of two charges of having articles for terrorism including weedkiller, firelighters and three tennis balls, two counts of having documents for terrorism, and one allegation of having explosives.

Brian Altman QC, prosecuting, said: “This man, who had strong if not fanatical right wing leanings and opinions, was on the cusp of embarking on a campaign of terrorism against those he considered non-British.
“In addition to his extreme views on race and ethnicity, the defendant had an unhealthy interest in bombers as well as bombings.
“He admired, and might soon have emulated, the bombers about whom he possessed two compilation video tapes, had he not been captured, albeit quite fortuitously.”

Judge Peter Thornton said: “You are a dangerous man, somebody who exhibits emotional coldness and detachment. You would not have been troubled by the prospect of endangering somebody’s life.”
The judge said the devices Lewington was found with at Lowestoft were made “to a very high standard” and all that was needed to set them off was to wire up the igniters and timers.

“These were dangerous firebombs, meticulously constructed, all set to go,” said the judge.
What police found at Lewington’s home was a “veritable store of components for explosives and incendiary devices”, including nearly 9lb (4kg) of weedkiller, pyrotechnic powders, fuses and igniters.

While he had selected no specific target to attack, he “clearly had in mind” Asian and black people, said the judge.
He also made disparaging reference to “retards” and sometimes after a few drinks “slipped into racist mode” while chatting to shocked acquaintances.
The judge told Lewington: “You were in the process of embarking upon terrorist activity. You were going to use or threaten action involving either serious violence to people or serious damage to property.

“This action was designed to intimidate non-white people and it was for the purpose of pursuing the ideological cause of white supremacy and neo-fascism, albeit in a rather unsophisticated way.”

Cannibal killer freed from a secure hospital kills two more.

If ever there was a very good reason (and there’s lots more) for euthanasia, then this HAS to be one for sure.

So here’s this brain eating lunatic that gets by shrinks and soc. services, and of course there’s more then one reason to guard his ‘rights’ being as he’s a member of a minority and so that carries a bit of weight. Come On!  You know it does.  Anyway, in cases like this the immediate answer is NOT care and hospitals and meds all at taxpayer expense.  I don’t happen to believe that the public has any duty or responsibility for nut cases.  They simply take up space and should be eliminated quickly, before some idiot shrink and or care taker screws up and set em free.

Case in point besides this one. That other scum who kept a young girl for 18 years, had a track record of rape.  BUT, he managed to convince prison authorities and his shrinks ( a pointless/useless activity called a science but only in name) that he found ‘God.’ Always works apparently.  So now they find he’s been a busy fella over the years and they think he may have killed a number of women.  He was sent to jail before and got 50 years and was out in 11 when he did it again. And again.  See, a guy like that. FIRST TIME. BANG!  Next?  And there’s no 2nd or third or fourth victim. But no.  Can’t do that.  Most unfortunately cause the gremlins have ... ‘rights.’

I can’t bring myself to post this vermin’s photo, but you’ll see it at the link. Get ready to be sick. 
Note to Peiper: don’t use the ‘N’ word.

NHS ‘failed’ over cannibal killer

By Nick Triggle
Health reporter, BBC News

Peter Bryan has killed three people
NHS failures contributed to two people being killed by a man with schizophrenia after he was freed from a secure hospital, two inquiries suggest.
Peter Bryan, 39, of east London, killed a friend and ate parts of his brain in 2004 - two years after being released from Rampton, in Nottinghamshire.
He then went on to kill a patient after being sent to Broadmoor.

The independent reports into the deaths said while Bryan was a unique case, more should have been done to stop him.
The inquiries, carried out for NHS London, the body which oversees health services in the capital, blamed system failures instead of individuals for the mistakes.
However, they acknowledge he was a difficult case because he could go through long periods without showing any signs of overt mental illness.
Bryan was first sent to Rampton secure hospital after beating 20-year-old shop assistant Nisha Sheth to death with a hammer in 1993.

Now then, right at that point he should have been sentenced to death by the very same means his victim suffered.  Had that taken place, there might have been no future victims.  Of course there’d be the usual hand wringers. That’s okay.  Grab them and do the same just so they know how it all feels. Lets see how long they remain sympathetic to the gremlin. Then finish them off anyway. 

In 2002 he was released into the community after applying to a mental health tribunal and allowed to live as a care in the community out-patient.
He was sent to a hostel where residents have their own front door and room key.
But after an allegation of an indecent assault on a 17-year-old girl, Bryan was sent back to hospital, but this time he was only an informal patient on an open ward at Newham General Hospital in east London.
In February 2004, he walked out of the unit and killed his friend Brian Cherry, 45, before frying and eating parts of his brain. He had also started to dismember the body.

He was arrested and after appearing in court was sent to another secure hospital, Broadmoor.
Within weeks of arriving, Bryan attacked fellow patient, Richard Loudwell, 59, who later died.
In court, he pleaded guilty to killing both men on the grounds of diminished responsibility.
One psychiatrist who interviewed Bryan concluded that he was “probably the most dangerous man he had ever assessed”.

The report into Mr Cherry’s killing criticised the speed at which Bryan was moved into the community.
He spent only six months in a specialist centre designed to get him used to independent living following his time at the secure hospital and before his move to the hostel. The normal length of time is up to two years.
The experts also said the staff - a psychiatrist and social worker - detailed to look after him in the community did not have the necessary experience.

This in turn led to a reduction in his anti-psychotic medicine, they added.  And the health service was criticised for not taking seriously enough the allegation of sexual assault.  Bryan was only moved to Newham for his own protection as the family and friends of the girl were threatening him.
The investigators said a move to a secure unit could have stopped him killing Mr Cherry.

BBC NEWS FOR THE REST PLUS PHOTOS

NO fruit fly face.  What would have stopped the bastard was immediate execution way back in ‘93.  What a damn shame that family only threatened. They should have been quiet so that he would not have been moved, and then finished him off with hammers.  Then claim diminished responsibility.

What’s it take exactly to put a creep away?

This is creepy. Gak.  Take a look at this guy. So then.  Bad heart, force kiss young girl in school, get outta jail free.
Come on.  I’m not suggesting the law has to lynch the guy.  But jail is exactly where ppl like this belong. Unless I read this wrong, he has a record of this sort of behavior.  What’s he doing teaching in school?  Oh. Silly me. Almost forgot.  His civil and human rights. Got it.

And can you just imagine being kissed by this? GAK, again. Stomach churning for the poor girls I’d say.

Teacher who French-kissed 14-year-old schoolgirl spared jail because of his heart condition
By Daily Mail Reporter

A science master who French kissed a 14-year-old girl and asked pupils about their sex lives was spared jail because he has a heart condition.

Keith Ogunsola, 44, grabbed the teenager in his office before kissing her as she tried to push him away.
The married father also embarrassed girl pupils during a chemistry revision class by asking if they had performed sex acts on their boyfriends.

Ogunsola had been warned last month that he faced an inevitable prison sentence.
But Judge Martyn Zeidman, QC, suspended a 12-week jail term for 12 months after reading medical reports. The judge said: ‘Certainly what you have done doesn’t deserve a death sentence.

‘I’m just persuaded that it would be right in the circumstances of this case to suspend the sentence of imprisonment.
‘You will never again be employed as a school teacher. My primary concern is to protect members of the public and other potential pupils.’
The judge praised the victim’s courage, adding: ‘I want to pay tribute to the girl who bravely made this complaint. She’s a very impressive young lady.

Ogunsola was banned indefinitely from working with under-18s and will be placed on the sex offenders’ register for five years.
Snaresbrook Crown Court in East London heard how Ogunsola struck at the school where he taught in Ilford, Essex, on February 27 last year.
Describing her ordeal in Ogunsola’s office, the girl said: ‘He put his arms around my waist and said, “Do you want a kiss?”
‘He pulled me close and then kissed me and put his tongue in my mouth.

‘I pushed him away. He pulled me really close. He was holding my wrists and he kissed me again.’
She said she was ‘shocked’ by Ogunsola’s advances and simply ‘froze’. She said Ogunsola asked her: ‘Aren’t you supposed to be my Valentine?’
The girl said she reminded Ogunsolahe was married with children. ‘I said, “You have got a wife and kids and I have got a boyfriend”. He said, “Dump your boyfriend”.’
The girl said Ogunsola had asked her about her love life, and added that other girls at the secondary school had described him as a ‘pervert’.

Jurors heard how Ogunsola asked other girl pupils of 14 and 15 whether they had performed sex acts on their boyfriends.

He also warned the youngsters that boys were ‘only after one thing’.
A jury convicted Ogunsola, of Banstead, Surrey, of sexual assault but cleared him of an attempted sexual assault on a girl of 15 at the same school in February 2006.

Jurors also acquitted Ogunsola of two indecent assaults on teenage girls at a school he taught at in Carshalton, Surrey, between January and May 2000.

Ogunsola left the school in Surrey in 2001 before stints at Islington Green School, North London, and the Pimlico Academy in Westminster before moving to Ilford in 2005.
The former headmaster of the school in Surrey revealed Ogunsola had been warned about his conduct with girl pupils prior to the alleged assaults in 2000.

The Senator of Sleaze who was a drunk sexual bully…

After listening to the mawkish whitewash last night on the BBC (radio), I was quite surprised today to find this in the Daily Mail.  And it wasn’t the only commentary written in the Mail on this subject.

I do not gloat in his death even though I did not like the man. There was nothing to like or admire in my opinion.
Anyway, this commentary says enough and says it far better then I ever could.  As does the commentary by Ruth Dudley Edwards, link below.

Ted Kennedy: The Senator of Sleaze who was a drunk sexual bully… and left a young woman to die

By Charlie Laurence
Last updated at 3:31 PM on 27th August 2009

Senator Edward ‘Ted’ Kennedy stood for sleaze. Bloated and drunken, he used his standing in the Kennedy clan to chase vulnerable women - which brought his dream of reaching the White House to a shameful end.

He was the youngest of the four Kennedy brothers, and by far the longest lived.

Incredibly, he was in line to inherit his brother John F. Kennedy’s legendary presidency, but his chances were dashed following the drowning of the pretty, young campaign assistant Mary Jo Kopechne.

Forever known as the Chappaquiddick Incident after the Massachusetts island where it took place, the scandal in 1969 broke the Kennedy grip on the White House.

A drunk Ted had been driving back from a party to the family ‘compound’ on Martha’s Vineyard when he veered off a bridge and into a deep tidal dyke.
Drowned: Mary Jo Kopechne was killed after Ted Kennedy drove his car off a bridge with her inside

Mary Jo was in the back seat and, while he claimed he was just giving her a lift back to her hotel, it was widely thought that he had picked her up for sex. Kennedy swam ashore to save himself, but left Mary Jo to drown - in fact, it was even worse than that.

It was nine hours before he reported the accident. In the meantime, he walked back to his motel, complained to the manager about a noisy party, took a shower, went to sleep, ordered newspapers when he woke up and spoke to a friend and two lawyers before finally calling the police.

Divers later estimated that if he had called them immediately, they would have had time to pull out Mary Jo. She had not drowned, but had survived in an air pocket inside the car - she was asphyxiated only when the oxygen ran out several hours later.

As always, Ted used the family name to save his neck. In any other state but Massachusetts, the Kennedys’ home turf, and with any other name, he would have been charged with homicide.

Instead, he escaped with a slap on the wrist: a two-year suspended sentence and the loss of his driving licence for a year. He had been allowed to plead guilty to no more than the charge of leaving the scene of an accident.

Kennedy lawyers arranged for him to pay £55,000 to the Kopechne family from his own pocket with a further £30,000 from his insurance. Mary Jo’s mother later said: ‘I don’t think he ever said he was sorry.’

At the height of the scandal, Kennedy went on TV to explain himself in an extraordinary 13-minute address in which he denied driving drunk and rejected rumours of
‘immoral conduct’ with Kopechne.

He said he was haunted by ‘irrational’ thoughts immediately after the accident, and wondered ‘whether some awful curse did actually hang over all the Kennedys’.

He said his failure to report the accident right away was ‘indefensible’.

Yet the tragedy and his actions appalled millions of Americans.

The steamroller Kennedy political machine, combined with his popular opposition to the then raging Vietnam War, made him favourite for the 1972 presidential election, but the drunken drive that killed Mary Jo snuffed out his bid.

Edward Kennedy’s character flaws would have sidelined any man from a lesser family before his career had begun. Schooled in the height of privilege, like his brothers, at exclusive boarding ‘prep’ schools, Kennedy went on to Harvard.

But he was expelled from that Ivy League bastion for persuading another undergraduate to take his Spanish exams for him. It was an episode that should have served as a warning to the voters.

Kennedy joined the Army to redeem himself and was later readmitted to Harvard. He followed the classic path of the American elite to law school, graduated and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar.
Irish support: Kennedy with Sinn Fein’s Gerry Adams - for years the Democrat was seen as a cheerleader for American Irish supporters of the IRA

Irish support: Kennedy with Sinn Fein’s Gerry Adams - for years the Democrat was seen as a cheerleader for American Irish supporters of the IRA

But he did not take a single case. He believed that, like his brothers, he was destined for greatness. As he could not stand for the Senate until he was 30, the Kennedy machine arranged for a ‘stooge’ candidate to hold the family seat for two years, when JFK left it for the White House.

He reeked of drink by nine in the morning and could be relied on to be bawling drunk at four in the afternoon. In Washington’s top La Brasserie restaurant, he once threw a waitress over a table in a private room and tried to have sex with her.

His face, once handsome, became as round as a football, bloated and criss-crossed with the broken veins of an out-of-control drinker.

Vegan prisoners win right to ‘cruelty free’ products in jail.  More pandering to the bleeding hearts

I read this today and started with every four letter word plus derivatives I could dream up.
This is one of many reasons folks do not believe for a minute that prisons are working. Or for that matter the criminal justice system. Sure, works fine for the gremlins.  They even pander now for “Pagan” prisoners.  Imagine that.

Vegan prisoners have won the right to order ethically-sourced food, toiletries and cosmetics in jail.

By Nick Allen
The Telegraph

They will be allowed to buy in products including nuts, seeds, dried fruits, vegan chocolate bars, soap, shampoo, deodorant, sunscreen, lipstick and facial scrubs after prison chiefs agreed to allow them to place mail order requests to two “eco-outlets”.
Vegans refuse to eat any food, wear any clothes or use any product which involves the use of animals in any way. They don’t wear wool and leather, don’t consume dairy products and will not use toiletries or cosmetics that contain animal products or that have been tested on animals.
Some of the strictest vegans avoid all products with even a remote connection to animal exploitation, including sugar processed with animal bones and camera film that contains gelatin.

There are an estimated 800 in the prison population at any one time and they currently struggle to obtain products they find acceptable, with most jail canteen food and even prison-issue boots excluded.
After a 15-year-campaign by the Vegan Prisoners Support Group (VPSG) the Prison Service has now allowed them to order ethical food and toiletries by mail order if there are none in their prison shop.
Orders will be supplied by the High Street health store Holland & Barrett, which sells a wide variety of nuts and seeds, and the eco-friendly outlet Honesty Cosmetics.

It is the latest in a series of rulings to protect the rights of inmates from minority groups. In May pagan convicts were allowed to keep twigs in their cells to use as wands.
After securing access to food and toiletries for vegan prisoners the VPSG is now negotiating for them to be supplied with “vegan shoes”, which are made from a combination of natural and synthetic materials instead of animal hides.

It insisted that vegans needed to be able to order in food because they could not otherwise get enough iodine from a prison diet. A lack of iodine can slow the thyroid. Most people get iodine from fish and vegetarians get it from milk.
A spokesman for the VPSG insisted it was “critical” for the health of vegans that they have access to suitable food.

He said: “Vegan prisoners have had very limited access to vegan products through prison shops. Our recommendations were for basic vegan hygiene and bodycare products like a vegan soap bar, shampoo, conditioner, moisturiser, deodorant and toothpaste.

“In addition we recommended a vegan chocolate bar, sweet and savoury vegan biscuit, a protein source such as Nuttolene or braised tofu, vegan spread, cheese alternative, soya yoghurt, flavoured soya drink and fortified soya milk.”

But a source at HMP Exeter said: “These guys are crooks. They are in prison to serve time. We can’t be running around making sure they have the right sun cream or that they have the one brazil nut or selection of walnuts to make sure they get enough vitamins.
“They gave up any rights to have principals when they robbed the old lady, burgled a house, smuggled cocaine or beat someone up.”

FOR YOU FOLKS IN EUROPE AND THE UK, THIS IS WHY WE KEEP GUNS IN THE USA.

Coz the vermin have them and will never hesitate to use em.

Three cheers for this old fellow except I wish he wouldn’t say how sorry he is that he had to pull the trigger. Why sorry?
He didn’t take a human life after all.  He should feel very good. He has also prevented future criminal acts.  Good for him!

Shopkeeper, 72, who shot dead two robbers won’t be charged, say police

By Paul Thompson
Last updated at 11:21 AM on 15th August 2009

When four armed men burst into his store and demanded money, Charles Augusto tried to reason with them.

He calmly explained there was no cash on the premises and they should put the gun down.

But when one of the robbers began to pistol whip an employee in frustration, the 72-year-old’s patience snapped.

He pulled out a 12-gauge pump-action shotgun from under the counter and began shooting.

The blasts hit all four men, killing two and leaving two others critically injured.

he quietly spoken store owner is being hailed as a hero in Harlem, New York, for turning the tables on the robbers. Police said he would not face any charges.

Although the shotgun was not registered, under New York law someone is allowed to use deadly force if they feel their life is in imminent danger.

Mr Augusto, who bought the shotgun 30 years ago after another robbery attempt, said he was left with no choice but to open fire.

‘I told this kid, “We don’t have any money”,’ Mr Augusto said.

‘I asked him, “Why don’t you just put your gun down and go home and we’ll forget about this thing? Someone’s gonna get hurt. There’s no money - you’re gonna get in trouble. You’re wasting your time.”

‘I would have been happy if they’d all run out the door. I’m sick to my stomach over it.

‘I’m sad I couldn’t talk them out of it. I’m sad there’s mothers and fathers with no sons today.

‘I haven’t done anything wrong. I’m sitting here minding my own business and they come in with guns. I don’t feel like a hero. I would have felt like a hero if I could have talked that kid into going home.’

He added: ‘I’m sorry they’re dead but they didn’t give me any other choice.’

The failed robbery took place at his restaurant supply company in Harlem. Mr Augusto was inside the store with two employees, a 33-year-old man identified as JB and a 47-year-old woman.

The four robbers - aged from 21 to 29 - burst in and demanded cash. One was armed with a pistol and they carried plastic handcuffs.

Police said Mr Augusto made it clear there was no money on the premises, which led to one of the robbers to start to pistol whip JB.

Mr Augusto, who was 20 to 30ft away, whipped out the shotgun and fired three times.

James Morgan, 29, died instantly. A gun was found near his body slumped in the doorway of the store.

His accomplice Raylin Footman, 21, died later in hospital from shotgun wounds to his back.

The two other suspects, Bernard Witherspoon, 21, and Shamel Cloud, 21, were caught after police followed a bloody trail from the store.

Witnesses said JB stood over the dead robber screaming: ‘You’re dead! You’re dead!’

He later told police a gun had been held to his head.

Police sources said Footman, one of the victims, had previously been arrested for robbery and weapons charges. The other three robbers were also known to police.

Harlem residents praised Mr Augusto for his actions.

Gene Hernandez, 47, said: ‘I would kill a dozen of them. You have to protect your family and workers. Case closed.’

Stefany Blyn, who rents a space above the store from Mr Augusto, said: ‘He’s been robbed before, so I’m not totally amazed.’

Police said charges are pending against the two injured suspects.

Hate Crime Laws

Sorting Americans into distinctive racial, ethnic and gender groups, while designating whites and heterosexuals to be their “oppressors” makes the latter into legitimate targets of hate themselves. It thus becomes a way of exacerbating, rather than correcting, the social disorder.

It is time to go back to the wisdom of the Founders who wrote a Constitution without reference to ethnic or gender groups. They did so in order to render us equal before the nation’s system of law. It was an imperfectly realized ideal then, but that should be no excuse for abandoning the ideal now. We need to end the vicious libels of political correctness that have percolated their message of anti-white racism into our mainstream culture. The vast majority of white people do not hate or oppress black people, just as the vast majority of heterosexuals do not hate or oppress gays. We need to single out those individuals who do, whatever their race or gender — for condemnation and social ostracism. And we need to do the same to individuals who belong to minorities and are haters themselves. Most of all, we need to go back to the task of treating all Americans as individuals first, and as members of groups only secondarily, if at all.

A little more here.



No kidding. “Hate crime” is more than just totally unconstitutional. It’s morally wrong. The same laws apply to all of us, always. No special rules for special people, ever, of any kind.

Injuries included a broken back and eight broken ribs. And that’s just to start. This is beyond sick

I was aware and very disturbed by this story months ago when it was first made public. I wasn’t alone. Disturbed? More then that. Anger, frustration and all sorts of gloomy feelings reading about this poor kid.  How in the freeken world can a mother be party to this? How can any adult do these things to a helpless child?
And why oh why can’t those who commit some particularly horrific crimes be hung immediately.  No wait. Why can’t the same treatment be given them.

I didn’t post this at the time it first came out. It’s just too damn sickening.  But today there’s even more information and graphics and I thought originally I couldn’t hate these sub humans any more. They are disgusting scum of the worst order.

How can people torture a helpless baby of 17 months and live with themselves?
And how does a state now decide that due to the nature of the crime and publicity, the perps will get round the clock protection at the taxpayers expense. FOR LIFE.  Oh yeah. I forgot to mention it.  The mother will be out in a few years.  I am really trying very hard to keep my language clean.  While writing this I think I’ve even made up some new swear words even I never heard.

How does this grab you BMEWS?

At the autopsy they found some of his teeth in his stomach.
One of his abusers already had a record for the rape of a two year old girl.  In fact, he and his brother attacked their grandmother, beat her and locked her in a closet demanding that she rewrite her will leaving whatever she had to them.  She died some months later.  And still… the $£!!"£%$&&* bastards were out walking free. There’s no such fuckin thing as a god damned justice system! Forget about it. It’s a gd myth.

The killers of Baby Peter will be given new identities at taxpayers’ expense and lifetime protection from the threat of exposure after being named publicly for the first time as Tracey Connelly and Steven Barker.

By Caroline Gammell and Martin Beckford

The 17-month-old boy suffered an agonising death in their squalid home after months of abuse. The pair subjected him to an appalling ordeal that left him with 50 injuries, including a broken back.

Connelly, 28, who admitted causing or allowing Baby Peter’s death, could be released from jail in as little as three years.

She has already been placed in solitary accommodation in prison to protect her from fellow prisoners, such is the level of the notoriety she has gained since full details of her son’s treatment were disclosed.

It is almost certain that under human rights laws she will be granted lifelong anonymity once she is freed.

By claiming that she had the right to a life free from vigilante attacks or intrusion by the media, she would be given a new name, moved to a home equipped with panic buttons and provided with round-the-clock police protection for the rest of her life at an estimated cost to the taxpayer of £1 million a year.

The same protection may also be given to Barker, 33, who could be free in 12 years.

It can be disclosed today that he is the brother of Jason Owen, 37 — Connelly’s lodger, who was also convicted over Peter’s death. He was the only one of the three accused to be publicly named at the end of their trial last November.

Protection orders are often granted to those who become notorious for crimes they commit against children. These include Mary Bell, who killed two boys when she was 11; Maxine Carr, who provided a false alibi for Ian Huntley after he murdered the Soham schoolgirls; and the schoolboy killers of James Bulger.

Philip Davies, the Conservative MP for Shipley, was angered by the public cost of protecting Connelly in the future. “She had absolutely no concern for the human rights of Baby P, so it’s a bit much to expect anyone to fall over themselves protecting her rights,” he said.

“It will probably stick in the throat of most taxpayers to stump up cash for her. What she did was hideous and she should face the consequences of that.

“It’s a prime example of how human rights of criminals are put before those of victims — in this case a defenceless baby.”

Claude Knights, the director of Kidscape, a children’s charity, said the killers had “destroyed faith in humanity”.

“I don’t feel society should spend the hundreds and thousands it would cost [to give them new identities],” he said. “I would prefer it to be spent on child protection.”

TELEGRAPH

We aren’t done yet ... I want you to PLEASE see this version at the Daily Mail and see all the photos. Look at this filth that was allowed to be free and the system that has failed and failed miserably.  How the damn hell could the doctors have missed his injuries for so long?  How could the social services ppl have missed the filth and squalor this kid was in. And btw ... HE WAS NOT ALONE in that home!

This version in The Daily Mail is a very long one and so I’m only posting this excerpt. See the link below for all of it.
I can’t imagine any one of you who won’t come away angry.

Evil mother who stood by as son was tortured… and the neo-Nazi boyfriend who abused him

By Vanessa Allen, Colin Fernandez and Lucy Ballinger
Last updated at 2:06 PM on 11th August 2009

Such was Connelly’s lack of thought for her own child that in the final week of Peter’s life, when eight of his ribs were broken and his spine snapped, leaving him semi-paralysed, she claimed she had not noticed his injuries.

And when paramedics were called to the house on August 3, 2007, to find Peter blue and cold in his blood-spattered cot, they were horrified when his mother kept the ambulance waiting while she searched for her cigarettes.

She was pregnant with Barker’s child - a girl born while she was on remand in Holloway Prison.

Social workers initially asked to leave the baby with her to ‘bond’ but were overruled.

Connelly applied to meet her surviving children during her trial, but has been told she will never see them again.She whined to the trial judge that she cried every day and punished herself for allowing Peter’s abuse, but her jail letters rarely mention her children.

Instead she moaned of missing sex, writing: ‘I’ve been obsessed lately about it. I need sex like a heroin addict needs a fix.’

Gangs with guns, gangs with knives. Now the new thing is .. SNAKES! And do not laugh. Isn’t a joke.

This place gets more bizarre and more unruly by the minute. Never mind by the day.

No point in my ranting about this. Blow off steam yeah but who listens and even if someone did, so what?

Last week a couple went to see a movie. Normal night out right?
During the movie there were some intentionally loud and abrasive punks making noise.  So this lady tells them to be quiet please, they aren’t the only ones in the theater.

After the show, the couple went to a cafe, or maybe a McDees. I don’t remember and it doesn’t matter. What does matter is that the punks followed and went into the place and poured bleach on her full strength.  She was actually burned and it went in her eyes and she may lose her sight.

Scares me to stay here guys. No kidding it does. Ya never know where it’s gonna come from or when. And btw, you do not have to do anything to invite it either.
Just happens.

Boy bitten by snake in Bristol gang attack

From Times Online
August 9, 2009

Ambulance staff used Google to identify a snake which bit a Bristol teenager on the hand during an attack by a gang armed with the reptiles, it emerged today.

The 14-year-old was bitten on the hand after he was set upon by the group who were “brandishing snakes”, the ambulance service said. The boy was pinned against a wall by his attackers in Bradley Stoke yesterday afternoon, before one made the python sink its fangs into him.

A spokesman for Great Western Ambulance service (GWAS) said today: “Ambulance staff consulted Google and Bristol Zoo experts after a teenager was attacked by a group of youths brandishing snakes.

“The 14-year-old was bitten on the hand by one snake after being pinned against a wall by his attackers in Merryweather Close, Bradley Stoke yesterday afternoon.

“The group was apparently carrying several snakes and forced one of them to bite the boy on the hand, leaving two puncture wounds.”

Michael Howells, an incident support officer, who was at the scene said: “In order to try and identify the type of snake I Googled ’snakes’ on my mobile to show the patient. He was reasonably sure he could identify the type, so I sent the image to our control room.”

Oliver Tovey, a duty control manager, added: “We contacted Bristol Zoo to talk to their snake expert. What we described they indicated was probably a type of python - so not venomous.”

The teenager was taken to Frenchay Hospital, Bristol for precautionary checks after being attended to by paramedics at 3.15pm. Mr Howells added: “Although the patient was suffering breathing difficulties after the attack, this was probably due to panic rather than a reaction to the bite - I would probably be panicky if that happened to me.”

Avon and Somerset police said the creature involved was a four-foot long green snake used on the boy after he was pinned down. A force spokesman said today: “The teenager had been subject to racist comments and then reportedly held down as a snake was held in front of him, which bit his right arm.

“The boy was taken to Frenchay Hospital with breathing problems, where he was treated for the injury to his arm. Experts have confirmed that the snake, described as green-coloured and about four feet long, was not venomous.”

Protect Your PC

Lots of people use short, simple passwords that are meaningful to them and easy to remember. Birthdays, Social Security Numbers, favorite colors, the name of your secret fantasy movie star. And these are all very unsecure and easy to crack, especially by anyone who knows a bit about you.

Sarah Palin had her email hacked during the ‘08 campaign. She had an account on Yahoo, and somebody was able to reset her password by properly guessing the clues that Yahoo asked for in their “I forgot my password” area. Most places have that kind of area, and most of them use pretty common questions, which defeats the whole concept of passwords. Some banks and credit card companies have come up with a few new questions since then. It’s a small help, but only a small one.

Lots of people use just a couple of passwords for almost everything. I know I do. Trying to remember the 70 or so passwords I need to log onto various forums, blogs, my accounts at any number of business pages, etc., is impossible. Sure, I could write them all down. Or I could let Windows “remember” them for me. Not a chance, no thanks. And even if I did write them down, I’d hide the list somewhere smarter than the underside of my keyboard or taped to the back of the monitor. Duh.

I do not let my computer store anything about anything, not even browser history, cookies, Most Recently Used lists, nada. I am forever stripping information out of my PC by using CCleaner, MRUBlaster, and RegCure daily. I have an old co-ax A/B switch on the back of my computer, so that when I am not online I can physically disconnect my computer from the internet. I only do online business with places that don’t store my credit card information. Any bills that I throw out go through the bi-directional shredder. And I check my credit rating and my Social Security a couple times a year, just to keep an eye on things. So far, I have never had any kind of problems, but hacking and identity theft happen. You have to be aware, and you have to act smart.

I have one “don’t care” password I use for all the blogs and web sites I need to log on to. It’s of reasonable length, and has nothing to do with any aspect of my life. I use serious, unique passwords for all my credit card and banking sites, and my private email. And I change those at least twice a year. I don’t pay for any credit card “protection”, but I do have credit cards with companies that will alert me if something unusual occurs.

It turns out that most people don’t do anything as “extreme”. Most folks still use passwords that are short, simple, and easily guessed by people who know them even a little. Bad form.

By the way, I can not read your passwords here. Even though I own this blog and have access to everything right down to the database tables and the blog template source code, I can not read your member password. I can reset it if necessary, but I can’t see it.

So, what to do? Try making a smarter password. Add numbers, spaces, and special characters if you can. Then run the new password past the Microsoft password strength checker (there are others too) to see if it scores at least a “medium”. And figure out a “best” password for each online credit card and bank account that you access.

Passwords not to use? Here is a list of the 500 lamest ones. “abc123”. “password”. “letmein”. Oh come on, you have to do better than that these days!

You want a good password? Are you a car junkie, or a gun nut? “454 Ch3vy R0cks!” meets all the criteria for a “best” rating. It even has a tiny bit of “leet” in it, which can help. (substituting 4 for A, 3 for E, 1 for I, 0 for O adds a lot to password strength. Many places do not let you use spaces or special characters) Another strong one is “Marlin 336 .30-30”. And they are especially good if you don’t have one of either. “I Love Lucy” only rates a “medium”, and it isn’t on that list of 500, but if people know that’s your favorite TV show, then it’s a poor choice.

So be smart. Just in case.

SOMETHING JUST A BIT DIFFERENT FOR BMEWS. THE SAME SUBJECT BUT SOMETHING NEW.

Bit of legal history from a book called “Gangland Lawyers” by James Morton

Anyone who reads BMEWS on a regular basis, not just the brave few who leave comments, but everyone, already know my views on what we laughingly call the Criminal Justice System.  More Criminal then justice.  Just ask any victim.

In line with that attitude, an article in our morning paper today claims that victims of crime are not well served by the justice system.  The actual headline reads, JUSTICE SYSTEM FAILS VICTIMS.
Well then, if it indeed does that, and we know it does, then it is not a “justice system” at all.  I’m not sure exactly what to call it, but justice has little to do with it.

Many of us both here and in the USA have ranted and raved about slick lawyers and how often bad guys are out on the streets doing the same thing they were jailed for originally.  And we’re all agreed ( I think we are ) that lawyers are well versed in making the worst appear the better cause, and get away with much.  Or their clients are.
Which brings me to my posting here.

We are used to how things are and have been for a number of years.  The Twinkie Defense comes to mind and of course there was OJ but those are the cases that make national news and we all complain how awful things are and how deceitful and manipulative lawyers are these days.  These days? Just these days?
Of course it started long ago when a miserable SOB murdered the guy who designed the Madison Sq. Garden. Stanford White. An architect famous in his day.  The killer’s lawyer used the insanity defense for the first time and got his client off with a few years in a mental ward somewhere.  Well, I learned an expression many years ago in the music industry and probably used by other professions as well.
“There’s nothin’ new.”

There was a lawyer back in the 1920’s named Chippy Patterson who died in 1933.
The guy was always broke and lived between feast and famine.  Apparently he was a whiz in court and had quite a track record getting freedom or very reduced terms of incarceration for his clients.  He was truly a gangster’s lawyer and here’s just one very unbelievable and truly bizarre case and jury verdict. 

In 1930 Patterson won six acquittals and five manslaughter and second degree murder verdicts for his 11 clients. His last great defense came in June that year when he represented a guy named Pete Valenti.  Valenti was a a burglar and drug dealer who was on parole after serving just two years of of a ten to twenty year sentence for armed robbery.

Valenti was accused of a grocery story robbery-murder on April 9th.  The prosecution reasonably thought it had a good case and a simple one. 
Valenti and his partner, Vincent Minotti, neither of who were masked, held up the store and without warning, Valenti shot the owner.  Both Valenti and Minotti accused the other of firing the shot, but the prosecution regarded Minotti’s version as the more reliable and he gave evidence for the state.

Unexpectedly, Patterson made NO objection when the prosecution introduced Valenti’s criminal record in evidence.  Instead, he waited until his closing speech to the jury when he laid the blame for the killing at the feet of the judge who had paroled Valenti.  Here from the transcript are Chippy Patterson’s words.

“Valenti is no good.  His record proves it.
If society releases this type of man it deserves just what it gets.  Damn the law for this, but don’t damn the prisoner.”

The jury agreed, working on the curious thinking that if Valenti had not been paroled he would not have been able to commit murder.  Instead of the electric chair he was sentenced to separate and solitary confinement for the remainder of his natural life.

Not one BMEWS reader will believe the following but it’s true. This story isn’t over.

The author of the book who, no surprise, was a gangland lawyer writes an update in the footnotes with regard to Valenti by stating as follows:

“It is pleasant to be able to relate”

that … Valenti was released in the late 1940s.
He married and had three children. He was thought of as a reliable and trustworthy employee, who eventually became foreman of a small printing works.

William Jefferson Guilty

Breaking - House Ways And Means Committee William Jefferson (D- LA), found years ago with $90,000 of marked bribe money in his ice box, has been found guilty on 11 of 16 counts. Details to follow.



Details:

Former U.S. Rep. William Jefferson of Louisiana was convicted Wednesday on 11 of the 16 corruption charges against him.

A federal grand jury indicted the 62-year-old Democrat on June 4, 2007, on corruption charges, about two years after federal agents said they found $90,000 in his freezer. Authorities said the cash was part of a payment in marked bills from an FBI informant in a transaction captured on video.

Jefferson pleaded not guilty to the 16 counts, which include bribery, racketeering, fraud, obstruction of justice and conspiracy.

Jefferson was accused of using his congressional clout between 2001 and 2005 to solicit and receive hundreds of thousands of dollars in bribes for himself and his family in exchange for promoting products and services in Africa, especially Nigeria, and elsewhere. Peter Carr, a spokesman for the U.S. attorney’s office, said Jefferson could have faced a sentence of up to 235 years in prison if convicted on all counts.

The information on the cash, discovered in Jefferson’s Washington home in August 2005, was revealed in an affidavit used to obtain a warrant to search Jefferson’s office in May 2006.

Descriptions from the heavily edited affidavit and pictures of the alleged open freezer show bills wrapped in foil and tucked into frozen food containers, including a box for pie crusts and another for veggie burgers.

FBI agents told a judge the money was part of a $100,000 payment delivered by an informant in the bribery investigation, which led to guilty pleas by a Kentucky businessman and a former Jefferson aide.

Jefferson, who graduated from Harvard Law School, represented Louisiana’s 2nd Congressional District, which includes most of the New Orleans area. He held office for 18 years, or nine terms, before he lost his House seat in the December 2008 election.

As a representative, he served on the House Ways and Means Committee’s subcommittee on trade and on the Budget Committee, and he co-chaired the caucus on Africa Trade and Investment as well as the caucus on Nigeria.

Earlier, the federal judge in the trial told members of the jury that it might have been “misled” by his original instructions.

“I may have misspoken” as many as four times, said U.S. District Judge T.S. Ellis, telling the jury “I want you to look at each of these corrections and decide if you were misled.”

Ellis last week took more than two hours to instruct the jury, reading from prepared text. When a transcript was completed and made available Wednesday morning, Ellis said he had found at least four discrepancies.

Among the problems, Ellis suggested he mistakenly referred to the “defendant” instead of the “government” proving its case beyond a reasonable doubt, and another in which he referred to the “government’s intent” in the alleged wrongdoing instead of the defendant’s.

Ellis told prosecutors and Jefferson’s defense team that he believed the jury would have correctly interpreted the reference, but that they should note the correction.

The jury reconvened with a corrected transcript of his instructions for its fifth day of deliberations

Another corrupt government leader. Put him away forever. But my guess is that with the judge’s screw-ups, there will be an endless series of appeals.

Stupid Kids Pay The Price

KNOXVILLE TENNESSEE — Knoxville police have identified a teenager killed this morning during an attempted home invasion in South Knoxville that ended in an exchange of gunfire.

Arsenio Wooten, 17, was found dead from a gunshot wound, Knoxville Police Department spokesman Darrell DeBusk said. A second suspect may have been wounded in the gunfire, DeBusk said.

Wooten’s body was lying in a gully along the driveway of the residence at 814 Carls Lane off Cherokee Trail, where the shooting took place.

Wooten spent the last semester at South-Doyle High School after transferring from Fulton High School, according to South-Doyle Principal Rick Walker. Walker said Wooten was planning to return to Fulton for the fall semester.

The incident began when the homeowner said he heard someone knocking on his door about 5:25 a.m., according to DeBusk. The homeowner said he put a handgun in his pocket as he went to the door.
When he was opening the door, two men attempted to push their way in and he pulled the gun from his pocket and fired twice at them, DeBusk said he told officers.  One of the suspects fired once at the homeowner, the man said. Both suspects fled in a vehicle, the man told police.

Naleway told police that two black men knocked on his door and then attempted to force their way into the home once the door was opened. Naleway then shot at the intruders. They fired back and then fled the scene. Police were called back to the scene just before 7:00 by the resident. He told police that the body of one of the intruders was laying in his driveway. Wooten was pronounced dead on the scene. Police are also searching for the second male suspect involved in the attempted home invasion, they say he could have been shot as well.

Investigators searched the Carls Lane home around 1 p.m. Wednesday and cleared the scene around 2 p.m. It’s not clear whether Naleway will face charges in the case. Police say it’s up to the Knox County District Attorney. A check of Naleway’s criminal history shows that he has no convictions or charges in Knox County.

Police have recovered the gun the assailants used, and confirm that it was fired at the tenant. The boy’s name struck me as a bit unusual, so I Googled him up and found such a person on Facebook, who mostly matches the description given by the police in the video here. But it could be someone else who just happens to be about the same age, size, and complexion.


This is the place where the break in occurred:

It’s a little shack up in the hills, a run down cabin in the woods. Maybe my “advanced years” give me more insight than a 17 year old city kid, but one look at that place and you know whoever lives there has a gun. They might be living on canned beans, but they have a gun. Guaranteed.


I’ve been known to celebrate Goblin Eliminations, but this one is kind of saddening. Just some damn stupid kid. But a kid who was acting as an animal, and went to that guy’s house before dawn with malice aforethought. And paid the price.

The stories all say that the renter told the police that 2 people got in the car and drove away, and that 2 people tried to bust down his door. Yet 1 was found dead in the gully alongside his driveway. And other reports say a 911 call came in a few minutes later alerting hospitals that a gunshot victim was en route, but nobody ever showed up. So my guess is that there were actually 3 guys involved, and the 2nd one died on the way to the hospital. So expect another body to turn up in the next few days.

Youth jail is ‘like holiday camp’ with offenders given choice of lavatory seat covers .

Maybe it’s just me but ... do you think that possibly there’s a connection between young punks attitudes towards the law, the courts, the cops and the general public, and this sort of thing.  Ya think?  After all, what’s there to fear? 

A flagship youth jail has been branded a “holiday camp” offering juvenile criminals large plasma screen TVs, the latest computer consoles and even their own choice of lavatory seat covers.

By Richard Edwards, Crime Correspondent
Published: 6:43PM BST 27 Jul 2009

Helen Stanmore, a former drugs worker at Warren Hill prison in Suffolk, claimed that young offenders enjoy a “cushy life” playing on Nintendo Wii consoles and regularly ordering into jail items from Argos catalogues.

She said the institute, which holds some of Britain’s most dangerous young criminals, allows offenders to choose their own seat covers for the lavatories in their en-suite bathrooms.

“It is a cushy life - it beggars belief what a comfortable life they have,” Mrs Stanmore said.

“I used to be shocked by how many creature comforts the prisoners were given.

“As long as they behave themselves they get everything.”

The former substance misuse worker, who lives in Ipswich and last worked at Warren Hill in May last year, added: “They get the most hi-tech stuff. It is like a seafront arcade. No expense is spared for these young murderers.

“It is a holiday camp, not a prison. They have a better life in there than what they have outside.”

Ms Stanmore, 52, claimed that cannabis was regularly used by prisoners and described one conversation she once had with a prison officer.

“He said to me that ‘if they have got cannabis it keeps my night-shift quiet’”.

The Prison Service said yesterday that Warren Hill is “anything but soft”.

A spokesman said: “Prison is about punishment and reform. It is anything but soft and it is absurd to suggest otherwise.

“No-one should be fooled by suggestions to the contrary.

“The punishment of the court is a loss of liberty by being sent to prison, which combines tough regimes with the opportunity of rehabilitation.”

Last year Warren Hill, which was opened in 1982, was praised by the Prison Service Chief Inspector as an institution “other juvenile units should aspire to”.
