Assistant US Attorney Bruce M. Ferg feels putting a ten year old kid is the "best thing that could have happened to the kid."

A ten year old boy is prosecuted in federal court and is forced to register as a sex offender, and the man responsible for prosecuting him says this:

"My opinion is this is the best thing that could've happened to the kid..."It is not vague to say, 'If you do this kind of activity, we don't care what age you are, you are liable for prosecution.' "" --  [Zusha Elinson (Oct. 7, 2013). Federal Youth Case on Trial: Prosecution of 10-Year-Old on Sex Charges Stokes Debate Over Juvenile Justice. WSJ]

Wrap your mind around that for a minute. I would just love to ask this smug son of a bitch how putting a child on the sex offender registry is the "beat thing that could've happened" to this kid.

Ron Book Jr. (Lauren Book) is pimping Cherish's Law

First off, lets NEVER forget that Laren Book-Lim, aka Ron Book Jr., was just as much responsible for the Julia Tuttle Causeway debacle as her crooked lobbyist/ convicted criminal father Ron Book. A picture is worth a thousand words (just not worth what Getty is charging). 

So now Lauren Book is getting in on the Cherish's Law. What's a Cherish's Law? No one knows! It is just a petition started by a bunch of paranoid soccer moms 

So now, Lauren Book is spewing the same tired DEBUNKED MYTHS, like the claim of 117 victims on average myth. The irony is the laws Book supported increases crime. In other words, she MAKES "time bombs."

"That's really what we're seeing with these petitions, everybody being passionate and standing up around the issue and working together to protect our children," said Lauren Book.

Lauren Book, the founder of Lauren's Kids for victims of childhood abuse supports tougher laws to keep those who commit those crimes behind bars longer.

"These monsters can be put away for the rest of their lives, they murder children's childhood, my childhood was taken from me," said Book.

"In so many instances these individuals should never ever be allowed out for a second chance, they're ticking time bombs, its not a questions if they a re-offend, it's a question of when they re-offend," said Book.

Rachel Jeantel on Piers Morgan: Zimmerman "Might be a Rapist"

The entire Trayvon Martin case has been a train wreck, but otherwise irrelevant to this blog, until now. The controversial "star witness," Rachel Jeantel, has not helped her cause with her racist comments, but of all her comments, this one takes the cake.

After hearing Rachel on the "Piers Morgan" show, her "creepy ass cracker" comment seems tame by comparison:

"PIERS MORGAN: And he was freaked out by it? 

RACHEL JEANTEL: Yes. Definitely, after I say ‘may be a rapist,’ for every boy, for every man, every — who’s not that kind of way, seeing a grown man following them, would they be creep out? … 

And people need to understand, he didn’t want that creepy ass cracker going to his father or girlfriend’s house to go get — mind you, his little brother was there. You know — now, mind you, I told you — I told Trayvon it might have been a rapist."

Joke-lahoma's Leslie Osborn vows to ALWAYS vote tough on crime

Could Leslie Osborn's next award be a Shiitake award?

Leslie Osborn's statement is typical of legislators who blindly follow "tough on crime" laws. Oxen are strong but they are also dumb. Dumb enough to admit her intentions and her unwillingness to be educated.

"I will always vote to be the one that's tough on crime," Rep. Leslie Osborn, R-Mustang, argued recently during debate over a bill to impose mandatory prison sentences for those who fail to register. "I want us to remember that the people that are registering here include people who are rapists, child molesters. These are people that have done heinous crimes to members of our communities."

Natural disaster, you say? That's no excuse for not registering...

Randy Christian of the Jefferson Co AL Sheriff's Office.
Christian? Anything but.

I just love small town sheriff deputies, they give some of the silliest comments. Through wind and rain and hail, we still expect you to register. Glad I don't live in B'ham.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (WIAT) - In Jefferson County ten registered sex offenders had addresses within the areas hit by the storm. On top of controlling traffic in those areas and keeping an eye out for looters, the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office has been tracking them down.

"We hold them accountable every day of the year and when they come in to register we let them know there will be no excuses, not even a disaster," said Chief Deputy Randy Christian, Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. "We take a no excuses approach with those guys. We think that that's necessary and think it's the right thing to do. And that's just the way we're going to handle it. Listen if they, even if they go to a shelter, we notify the people in the shelter just like we would notify a community when one moves in."

"We went out and started checking on them and found out six of the ten were affected by the storm, either with structural damage or simply the power was out in some cases,” said Chief Deputy Christian.

So far, nine of them have been located.  

"One thing that came out of this is we found out that one of the ten was not living where he was supposed to. We've got a felony warrant on him and we're searching for him right now," said Chief Deputy Christian.
