1. A U.S. service member who worked in a military sexual assault prevention program has been accused of a sexual crime. In the latest incident, an Army sergeant first class, assigned to such a program at Fort Hood, Texas, is being investigated for alleged sexual assault, pandering, abusive sexual contact and maltreatment of subordinates.

2. Lt. Col. Jeffrey Krusinski was placed in charge of a branch of the Air Force’s Sexual Assault Prevention and Response program, and he oversaw a five-person office. In the first week of May, he was arrested on allegations that he attacked a woman and groped her buttocks and breasts in an Arlington, Virginia, parking lot.

3. Jennifer Norris, a retired Air Force veteran, says she was raped, sexually assaulted and retaliated against on numerous occasions by four individuals, over a period that included her time with the Maine Air National Guard. Norris now works with the Military Rape Crisis Center and the organization Protect Our Defenders.

4. In Alaska,, a military jury this month convicted a ­Marine Corps recruiter of ­first-degree sexual assault in the rape of a 23-year-old female civilian but did not sentence him to prison.

5. In Texas, an Air Force recruiter will face a military court next month on charges of rape, forcible sodomy and other crimes involving 18 young women he tried to enlist over a three-year period.

6. In Oregon, an Army staff sergeant pleaded guilty in March to having sex with a 17-year-old girl in a recruiting office.

7. In Arizona, an Army staff sergeant was charged in November with having a sexual relationship with a minor after he allegedly took a 16-year-old student to a park on multiple occasions and exchanged nude photos with her.

8. In Oklahoma, an Air Force staff sergeant was convicted of dereliction of duty by a military court in November after he had sex with a recruit, in a relationship that began with sexually explicit text messages.

9. At Lackland Air Force Base in Texas more than 30 instructors have been investigated on suspicion of abusing or mistreating recruits.

10. A court-martial for Brig. Gen. Jeffery Sinclair, the former deputy commander of the 82nd Airborne is set to begin June 25 on charges that include forcible sodomy, indecent acts, violating orders and adultery. Sinclair is also accused of violating a prohibition against U.S. troops in Afghanistan possessing pornography. A female captain who worked for Sinclair on deployments to Afghanistan and Iraq says Sinclair physically forced her to perform oral sex. The woman says the general also threatened to kill her and her family if she told anyone about their relationship.

In his defense, it is alleged that the general said:

‘I’M A GENERAL. I’LL DO WHATEVER THE FUCK I WANT’.

Hey, I’m no expert but that sounds pretty good to me. I’d vote for acquittal and would recommend putting the female captain into military prison for the rest of her life. What impudence!

The “F-k you” in this post stands for “Frisk you.” Hey,what did you expect, you dirty-minded reader?

Neither you nor I nor the person who invented the phrase “New York’s finest” as the appellation for the coppers in New York have a clue as to what it means. On its face, it seems to mean they are New York’s finest citizens but perhaps it means only that they are the best public servants, putting the firefighters to shame. The firefighters wouldn’t like that but that is because they are logic-challenged. If the cops are NY’s finest citizens then they already have the firefighters beat without mentioning them specifically. People don’t like to be mentioned. You can run a commercial that says “Best beer in the world” but don’t you dare run a commercial that says “Our beer is better than Budweiser.” For that you can be sued.

But enough of writing to the essence of things. The point of this post (as with most of posts) is an irrelevant digression.

From Jan. 1 through March 31, officers conducted 99,788 stop and frisks, compared with 203,500 during the same period in 2012, according to New York Police Department data. This is to the chagrin of Mayor Mike Boobyberg, one of the great champions of civil liberties when they are deserved and don’t get in the way. (No 20 ounce cokes anywhere in New York when he is on duty.)

Stop-and-frisk has absorbed criticism because since 2002 when more than 85% of those stopped were either black or Latino, and nearly 90% of those stopped were released without being charged. Hmmm. What does that tell you? Christine Quinn, the heir apparent to Bloomberg Madness promises to keep stop and frisk high in honor of her idol Big Mike Boobyberg. Raymond Kelly, NY’s top cop says blacks are UNDERSTOPPED, considering that violent crimes occur mainly in black neighborhoods. Irish-bred Kelly, passionate lover of all dark-shaded things, wants to protect little old black ladies in white sneakers. This is clever lingo for saying black neighborhoods are where blacks who are taller than 6’2″ and who dress in funny-looking clothes live. Of course, in this case, black people dressed nicely in a suit and tie are also dressed in suspicious-looking clothes.

Public Advocate Bill de Biaso says “We can’t depend on Speaker Quinn to reform stop and frisk if she won’t acknowledge there is a problem.” Come on, Bill, you know Chris knows a dangerous-looking nigger when she sees one.

P.S. To slaves to stop watches: I’ve got one hour and 59 minutes until I take THE PLUNGE.

Several persons convicted of sex crimes in Iowa have been given permits to carry guns. On “both sides of the aisle” the screaming has begun. The general hue and cry is this: “How can it be that such terrible people are allowed to go packing?”

Here is the right response: THE WHINERS ARE A BUNCH OF DOPES. In general, the recidivist rate for so-called sex offenders is lower than for other offenders. This is definitely true in Iowa.

An FBI official, the president of the Iowa State Sheriffs’ & Deputies’ Association, the president of the Iowa State Police Association and two state lawmakers told The Des Moines Register they have public safety concerns after learning that a two-year-old state law on gun permits allows registered sex offenders to obtain a weapons permit.

“It does seem to go contrary to what the whole point or the whole purpose” of the sex offender registry is, said Steve Conlon, Registered Imbecile and deputy unit chief of the FBI Behavioral Science Unit’s Evil Minds Research Museum in Quantico, Va. [SG: That's good information because I thought that only 97.63% of the sex offender registry was directed at keeping guns out of the hands of THE DISGUSTING PERVERTS.]

Self-appointed statistics maven [and underground voyeur] Jerry Dunbar offered this brilliant observation: “My concern of a sex offender having a gun is they try to typically rule in a bullish way to influence people — and just the presence of a gun on a hip could be a threat to get people to cooperate,” said Washington County Sheriff Jerry Dunbar, who is president of the Iowa State Sheriffs’ & Deputies’ Association. Dunbar added, “They intimidate to get what they want.” [SG: What do they want, Jerry, you lame brain. Tell us. By the way, Jerry, go back to school and learn English.]

Rob Burdess, a Newton police detective and the president of the Iowa State Police Association, was unaware that sex offenders are being issued weapon permits until he was asked about it by the Register. He noted that people with felonies or domestic abuse convictions are typically unable to obtain weapon permits, so he questions the logic of allowing sex offenders — even those convicted of non-felony offenses — to carry weapons in public. Burdess is also famous throughout our solar system for his contributions to the field of advanced mathematical logic — a real plus for Iowa State police. Tossing his Statistics For Everyday Cops into the trash bin, Burdess asked the rhetorical question, “Who’s to say they’re not a safety concern with weapons? They’ve already shown propensity to be sexually violent, so the escalation can be the use of weapons.” [SG: Or perhaps homemade bombs which, after all, has always been the dream weapon of drooling perverts.]

JILL LEVENSON presumes to bring light rather than heat to the debate, proving she is a very stupid person. Levenson, a national expert on sexual violence and an associate professor at Lynn University in Florida has the colossal gall to cite facts. Levenson, citing more than three dozen research studies or articles, has written papers and given testimony that shows 5% to 14% of known sex offenders will commit a subsequent sex crime within three to six years after incarceration. That is far lower than rates for other types of crime. [SG: Hey! Who allowed her to testify? She is spoiling the game for the demagogues.]

There are no known studies that review the rates of crimes using guns committed by sex offenders after their initial convictions, according to Conlon of the FBI and researchers at Michigan State University’s School of Criminal Justice. That information would be useful in assessing the level of risk created by giving gun permits to sex offenders, Conlon said. [SG: There are no studies showing the percentage of children under age 9 who like to spend their days chewing on baseball gloves but I, if nobody else, desperately want to know THE FACTS. The data would be useful for something, even if I don't know what.]

National uniform crime data from 2006 — the most recent data available — show that less than 1% of all reported sex offenses included the use of a firearm, according to Jason Rydberg, a graduate student at Michigan State. [SG: We need guns to shoot people like Rydberg who want to spoil our fun.]

Iowa numbers mirror the national trend. Of the roughly 5,750 people on Iowa’s sex offender registry, 47 — or less than 1% — used guns in their crimes, according to data from the Iowa Department of Public Safety.

The Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers, a national organization focused on the prevention of sexual abuse, generally advocates for cases to be reviewed individually when trying to determine whether a sex offender is likely to re-offend or jeopardize public safety. “There’s no blanket way of stating that sex offenders are more dangerous than everybody else,” said Maia Christopher, executive director of the association. [SG: Judge people on their individual merits? Sounds unAmerican to me.]

Republican state Rep. Clel Baudler, a former state trooper, isn’t reassured by the type of research offered by Levenson or groups like the Association for the Treatment of Sexual Abusers. Baudler, who proudly displays his laminated certificate as a member of the NIA, (National Idiots Association) to all who enter his office offers us this insight into his “thinking”: “If I was a sheriff and you’re a registered sex offender, I’d look at what you were found guilty of and I would have no problem saying, ‘You might be eligible but you’re going to have to sue me to get it. I’ll see you in an administrative hearing and we’ll bring this out in public if that’s what you want.’” [SG: Baudler is my kind of guy. Like him, I believe that after we determine a lascivious pervert is no danger to anybody, let's kill him anyway -- just to be on the safe side and on the side of bigoted morons everywhere.]

Republican Rep. Matt Windschitl indicated that he believes Iowa’s new weapons permit law doesn’t need to be revised to specifically ban sex offenders. People convicted of felonies, including sex offenders, are already prohibited from obtaining a permit, he emphasized.

But the top-ranking Democrat on the House Public Safety Committee disagreed with Windschitl over whether Iowa’s permit law needs revision.

“I wasn’t aware that sex offenders would be given permits,” said Democrat Rep. Bob Kressig of Cedar Falls. “This is definitely a concern.” [SG: If there is one thing inferior to the brain of a Republican it is the brain of a Democrat.]

At a minimum, Kressig would like the Legislature to agree to look at the issue for potential action next year. [SG: A committee to study the ISSUE!]

**********************
I have only one thing left to say: DON’T BAN AUTOMATIC WEAPONS WITH 100 ROUNDS CAPACITY. Without guns how the hell are we going to shoot all the legislators?

Now, at last, we can go to bed. The Bad Guy is in the custody of even worse guys and we, the public, are delighted. We can call off the media drudges who thrill maniacally to each day’s dull pursuit of a minor criminal. Yes, the media drudges who do their best to promote hysteria.

The nation came close to saying freedom of movement is as nothing compared to the danger of a lunatic on the loose. We were inches away from accepting authoritarian martial law as national policy. Few were the complaints about the Boston lockdown. It was, in the minds of the dullards, worth it. A killer was on the loose. Blah, blah, blah. I was chastened in my home as a ridiculous cynic for my disgust with the media. TV pundits and gurus had confiscated all the major channels for what they thought was best and proper. Too hell with my preference for lamebrain situation comedies. You’ll watch what we tell you to watch and you’ll love it…from the safety of your living room. Don’t you dare go outside! And when those helmeted post-apocalyptic creatures with menacing batons knock on your door demanding to enter without search warrants you will be obedient. Otherwise they will bash your brains out. And don’t expect that to get any TV coverage. You were so glad the forces of law and order were on the job 24 hours per day.

Would it not have been better to try for as much normalcy as possible? Did TV, FBI and local governments have to make hysteria their byword? Well, of course, they did. Ours is a nation of lambs and sheep that needs to be watched over. First madness,then normalcy. Without the first, you can’t appreciate the second.

If you are one of those weird perverts who don’t appreciate hot sex with children under ten years old, there isn’t much I can do to help you overcome your profound sickness. However, I can show you the high cost of punishing child pornographers.

In 2005, the Supreme Court ruled in U.S. vs. Booker struck down the provision of the federal sentencing statute that required federal district judges to impose a sentence within the Federal Guidelines range. In other words, go for it, Baby. Shove ‘em deep into a hellhole if you feel like it.

The lower courts had to revisit Booker’s sentencing in light of the Supreme Court decision. Booker was re-sentenced by the same judge to the same 30 year sentence he originally received which was longer than the 21 year sentence the judge would have been able to impose had the guidelines not been made merely advisory.

Since United States v. Booker, the federal government has spent nearly $30 BILLION on incarceration, which exceeds the GDP of many countries including North Korea. Of this, over $2 BILLION was spent on incarcerating child pornography offenders; 12,115 have been sentenced (not all to imprisonment, but most) under the guidelines since 2006. What makes this rather startling is looking at other major offense categories. For example, in the same period of time, over four times as many people have been sentenced for fraud offenses (54,813); however, the total cost of incarcerating those individuals was almost a billion dollars LESS! ($2.1 billion for child pornography; $1.3 billion for fraud). In other words, incarcerating 12,115 child pornography offenders cost the public $2.1 billion, while incarcerating nearly 55,000 fraud offenders cost $1.3 billion. Why the difference? Well, because of the increasingly longer sentences imposed on child pornography offender than for any other major offense category. What that translates into is that the actual annual cost per offender is far higher for child pornography offenders than for any other major offense category.

Most of those convicted of this crime are non-violent offenders with no propensity to molest our children. But you should accept this only if you like to go by the evidence. Screw the evidence. If you are a solid Wheaties-eating American, you know bad when it wanders into view. Not only don’t you want these sex maniac creeps to receive sentences limited to federal guidelines, you don’t want them living within traveling distance to your neighborhood. After all, they’ll park their cars close to your kids’ schools and OGLE THE SWEETHEARTS! How much villainy can an upright, God-fearing citizen put up with?

The federal sequester, (the across-the-board cuts in federal spending) that took effect March 1, is an assault on the Sixth Amendment right to counsel. The sequester is financially squeezing federal defenders. Consider what is happening in the Southern and Eastern Districts of New York, which comprise the federal trial courts for New York City and some surrounding counties.

There are 280 prosecutors against 38 Federal Defender lawyers, who represent approximately 40 percent of the New York metropolitan area’s federal criminal defendants. The sequester will slash the budget of the defenders for the next six months by 20 percent by forcing these 38 defense lawyers to take an average of six weeks of furlough, more than one day a week. The alternative was laying off one third of the lawyers. As of now, the prosecutors will take no furlough…. In the landmark case of Gideon vs. Wainwright in 1963, the U.S. Supreme Court unanimously overturned a notorious decision that proclaimed that only in capital cases do defendants have a right to state-appointed counsel. But now, what we assumed to be a Sixth Amendment right is subordinate to good old-fashioned MONEY. Are you really surprised?

A GOOD DOSE OF DEATH

Amnesty International has released its annual compilation of capital punishment trends. Only 21 countries were recorded as having carried out executions in 2012, the same as in 2011, but down from 28 countries a decade earlier. It said at least 682 executions were known to have been carried out worldwide in 2012, two more than 2011, and at least 1,722 death sentences were imposed in 58 countries, compared with 1,923 imposed in 63 countries the year before….[Don't ask me how 58 countries carried out executions when only 21 are recorded as carrying out executions. Mathematics is a mysterious thing.]

The big slayers, as per usual, were China, whose total was not released, Iran 314, Iraq 129, Saudi Arabia 79. The United States trailed badly with 43. People were zapped, hanged, bludgeoned and poisoned for a range of crimes including non-violent drug-related and economic offences, but also for “apostasy”, “blasphemy”, and “adultery.” [Hell, nothing wrong with making these capital offenses.] India, Japan, Pakistan and Gambia, all of which had seemed to aboard the anti-death penalty bandwagon have now reversed course. An Amnesty official in Singapore said, “Every human life is precious”. This is downright WRONG but you get the idea which, in general, is that killing is bad business and we can get along just fine without it. It doesn’t do much good for the anti-death penalty crowd to exaggerate and wander into stupidity. Of course the case against killing is made easy by the insanity of the countries that rely on it. In Iran, four people were executed last June for “enmity against God.” This should make atheists of us all.

It’s mostly Islamic states that are committed to butchering but please don’t let that influence your good opinion of Muslim people. Do you want a scorecard? Sure. You can’t tell your butchers without them: In addition to the above champions of death, we have Afghanistan, Bangladesh, N. Korea, Indonesia, Ghana, Palestine (those sweethearts who would restrict the penalty to Jews, if they had the power to do so), Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan. Small fry trying to make names for themselves.

The USA is fiendishly trying to maintain its status as a big leaguer with its 43 executions: Texas (15) and Mississippi (6) lead the way but don’t count a few others out as mere pretenders to the throne. Awaiting their moments to die are 77 others in such hotbeds of common sense as Florida (22), California (13) and Pennsylvania (7).

Cuba, that godawful bastion of communism, does not have even one person under sentence of death. Don’t you just hate Fidel Castro?

Taping of Farm Cruelty Is Becoming the Crime
By Richard Oppel Jr., The New York Times
08 April 13

In one covert video, farm workers illegally burn the ankles of Tennessee walking horses with chemicals. Another captures workers in Wyoming punching and kicking pigs and flinging piglets into the air. And at one of the country’s largest egg suppliers, a video shows hens caged alongside rotting bird corpses, while workers burn and snap off the beaks of young chicks.

State legislators have proposed or enacted bills that would make it illegal to covertly videotape livestock farms, or apply for a job at one without disclosing ties to animal rights groups. They have also drafted measures to require such videos to be given to the authorities almost immediately, which activists say would thwart any meaningful undercover investigation of large factory farms.

Some of the legislation appears inspired by the American Legislative Exchange Council, a business advocacy group with hundreds of state representatives from farm states as members. The group creates model bills, drafted by lobbyists and lawmakers, that in the past have included such things as “stand your ground” gun laws and tighter voter identification rules.

One of the group’s model bills, “The Animal and Ecological Terrorism Act,” prohibits filming or taking pictures on livestock farms to “defame the facility or its owner.” Violators would be placed on a “terrorist registry.”

Animal rights activists say laws passed last year in Iowa, Utah and Missouri make it nearly impossible to produce similar undercover exposés. Some groups say that they have curtailed activism in those states. “It definitely has had a chilling effect on our ability to conduct undercover investigations,” said Vandhana Bala, general counsel for Mercy for Animals, which has shot many videos, including the egg-farm investigation in 2011.

In coming weeks, Indiana and Tennessee are expected to vote on similar measures, while states from California to Pennsylvania continue to debate them.

Opponents have scored some recent victories, as a handful of bills have died, including those in New Mexico and New Hampshire. In Wyoming, the legislation stalled after loud opposition from animal rights advocates. In Indiana, an expansive bill became one of the most controversial of the state legislative session, drawing heated opposition from labor groups and the state press association, which said the measure violated the First Amendment.

After numerous constitutional objections, the bill was redrafted and will be unveiled Monday, said Greg Steuerwald, a Republican state representative and chairman of the Judiciary Committee. The new bill would require job applicants to disclose material information or face criminal penalties, a provision that opponents say would prevent undercover operatives from obtaining employment. And employees who do something beyond the scope of their jobs could be charged with criminal trespass. An employee who took a video on a livestock farm with his phone and gave it to someone else would “probably” run afoul of the proposed law, Mr. Steuerwald said. The bill will apply not just to farms, but to all employers, he added.

The president of the Indiana chapter of the A.F.L.-C.I.O., said the legislation would punish whistle-blowers.

Livestock companies say that their businesses have suffered financially from unfair videos that are less about protecting animals than persuading consumers to stop eating meat. As for whistle-blowers, advocates for the meat industry say that they are protected from prosecution by provisions in some bills that give them 24 to 48 hours to turn over videos to legal authorities.

“If an abuse has occurred and they have evidence of it, why are they holding on to it?” asked Dale Moore, executive director of public policy for the American Farm Bureau Federation. But animal rights groups say investigations take months to complete.

Undercover workers cannot document a pattern of abuse, gather enough evidence to force a government investigation and determine whether managers condone the abuse within one to two days, said Matt Dominguez, who works on farm animal protection at the Humane Society of the United States.

“Instead of working to prevent future abuses, the factory farms want to silence them,” he said. “What they really want is for the whistle to be blown on the whistle-blower.”

Video shot in 2011 showed workers dripping caustic chemicals onto the horses’ ankles and clasping metal chains onto the injured tissue. This illegal and excruciating technique, known as “soring,” forces the horse to thrust its front legs forward after every painful step to exaggerate the distinctive high-stepping gait favored by breeders. The video also showed a worker hitting a horse in the head with a large piece of wood.

Prosecutors later credited the Humane Society with prompting the federal investigation and establishing “evidence instrumental to the case.”

That aid to prosecutors shows the importance of lengthy undercover investigations that would be prevented by laws requiring video to be turned over within one or two days, Mr. Dominguez said. “At the first sign of animal cruelty, we’d have to pull our investigator out, and we wouldn’t be able to build a case that leads to charges.”

Early in the morning of March 29, before dawn, FBI agents wearing bullet proof vests raided the home of Michael Steinberg, a multi-millionaire, and carted him off to wherever dangerous inside traders are taken. Mr. Steinberg will be charged with an assortment of crimes but in exchange for his cooperation in nailing an even richer Jew, Steven A. Cohen, a very, very multi-billionaire, Mike will get a sweet plea bargain. The FBI tipped off reporters of what they were about to do, and a nice crowd of reporters and photographers were on hand for the arrest.

I have no problem with putting Mike behind bars but you need to understand what happened. In the first place, Mike was going nowhere. The FBI could have arrived at 7.30 A.M. without armor, knocked politely on the door, announced who they were and taken the archfiend away without handcuffs. Fans of law and order see nothing wrong with the way it was done because they don’t know why this drama was unnecessary. Catch bad guys. That’s what the public likes, and that excuses every imaginable injustice. The ONLY reason for the actual scenario was that the FBI wanted to display its power in all its awful arrogance. The FBI knew perfectly well that Mike was not an escape threat nor likely to pull out a gun and attack one of the agents. It enjoyed its power and needed to call the press to show it off in all its ugliness. The public wont demonstrate at Mike’s jail.

The FBI has already corralled other Cohen collaborators who have received plea bargain offers. Cohen won’t get one because it is with him that the buck stops. Eric Holder, the SCUMBAG Attorney General won’t intervene because he has proved himself over and over to be a piece of garbage who, for all we know, experiences a thrill of excitement with each arrest.

What can be done? Do what you always do: count the number of bad guys who go down for the count and tell yourself, “Wow, how awful it would be if they were all on the loose.” GET your kicks observing the FBI in peace and war.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q0AkO2OTfjA

She’s feisty, plucky, intrepid, spirited, dauntless, gutsy, spunky, and usually keeps her promises. You know who she is but I cannot mention her name. Hints: she has shared my bed for a couple of decades and she is highly regarded as a scholar and teacher at a certain “college” [sic] in southeastern Michigan. She is 73 years old and has the same light red hair she has had all her life. God hasn’t got the guts to put gray hairs on her head.

She promises (or threatens) to start a new career in a dozen years – A BANK ROBBER! I really don’t know why; I guess she is getting bored, having been a college professor since age 22 (around the age I was being let out of junior high school). She no longer tools around the world by foot but goes everywhere via her scooter. (I can’t keep up.) She figures nobody will want to apprehend, arrest and send her to jail. In any case, with her speedy scooter, she can be out of the bank faster than you can gulp down a glass of bourbon, which is about the same time it takes her to swallow a bottle full. Don’t mess with her over the cocktail hour!

Is she right? Is it true that cops won’t pursue an 85-year old bank robber cruising around on a 7 MPH scooter? Is it true that when the bailiff announces, “Here come de judge,” the judge’s sides will be splitting with laughter and he will toss the case against her right out? Should I worry? What inclines me not to worry is that since I am more than half a decade her senior, I am not anticipating being around to watch what may turn out to be the greatest crime fiasco since Tawana Brawley accused nearly all mankind of trying to rape her. This time, if I am alive, I won’t laugh, as I did in the Tawana days. I wish the lady well because I really do think it is never too late to start over.

The question is this: After the police beat them up and so-called “justice” is doled out by an indifferent judicial system, where do the victims go? Every country is proud of its viciousness score and they are all entered into a lottery to determine who gets the prize for SCUM OF THE EARTH.
