And I'm going to give it to them!First of all, if anyone has some suggestions to make this blog a bit better, or easier to read, or anything, let me know.
I'm happy like it is, but I don't read it, I just write it.
Well, actually, I DO read it the next day and giggle like a school girl at the things I previously said with a straight face.
I'm also considering placing images and videos instead of linking to everything, then again, if I did that, I'd need to cite my sources.
Let me know what you think...
COMMENT!! (Thanks to those of you that do.)
Back to business.
Panic! At the Disco has a song called "The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide is the Press Coverage."
In the taco business (see previous post: big boss man) it seems about the same way.
I know for a fact! (Because Rev says so.)there are people sitting in prison right now with 16 counts of something bad involving children and they are serving concurrent sentences of 7 years per conviction.
CONCURRENT!
All 16! of his 7 year charges are happening at the same time.
ONCE HE HAS DONE HIS 7 YEARS, HE IS OUT!!!
Served his time.
"He's even with the house now, and you will keep your hands off him."
But you've never heard of him.
And probably never will.
You have, however, heard of my next disgusting bag of rhinoceros filth.
Michael Devlin given four (4) life sentences (about 25 years each) and an additional 170 years for the kidnapping and... other things of two (2) [read: one] boys.
Granted, there are a few more charges, and some things are presumably different.
While jackass #1 was charged for playing in the sandbox a few times, jackass #2 was charged, I'd say, as many times as could be proved via video tape.
I'm not on the side of Mikey here, I'm on the side of justice.
What he got was justice, what the other fool got was nothing.
But we heard about the missing Shawn Hornbeck and Ben Ownsby for years and months, parents offered rewards, got money for their losses (and bettered themselves instead of spending it to look for their son; but i digress) and it was televised and broadcast to the far corners of the U.S.
And when Mikey was caught, we heard about that, and the trial, and the conviction, and the sentencing, for months on end.
Once again, the other fella, got a slap on the wrist for what he did with his own grandson.
...
The only difference between the first little angel and Devlin was the press coverage.
Help 'em get caught.
V.V.

Excellent! Keep it up and I'll give you a shiny new penny to put in your loafers. (grin)
I always knew you were tricky, Dick! (look that up in your old wikipedia!)
Just five more posts and we'll let you take the weekend off.
Your statement "got money for their losses (and bettered themselves instead of spending it to look for their son;...)" is a load of pure crap! Do you have anything that backs up that statement? Perhaps a libel suit would wake you up to the fact that you can't just spout filth like that without substantiation, and there simply isn't any.
Someone Who Knows
So, you have to approve the blog entries before they appear. I'm sure the world won't see my previous post, but be assured your libel will be seen by many. Wonder how many attorneys you will need to try to keep your meager worldly possessions...
Rev ~ I take enought time off already thank you, but I can say I'll keep up the work. Whether or not it's good is debatable, I've got hate mail!!
You have no idea what you're talking about. Fallacies in your argument:
1. We didn't hear about the missing Ben Ownby (note spelling) for months, he was only missing 4 days.
2. The only reason that we heard about Shawn Hornbeck for years is that the money raised WAS used for their foundation and to keep the case in the public eye via billboards, flyers, benches etc. How do you think all of that was paid for, not just for months but for years?
3. got money for their losses (and bettered themselves instead of spending it to look for their son; but i digress) --- sounds libelous/slanderous to me - better get your facts straight or else I'd imagine a lawyer might do it for you.
Obviously you haven't bothered to get your facts straight if you don't even know where the charges came from. It wasn't just videotapes, or interviews with the victims - it was also Devlin's confession - he pled guilty. There were over 70 charges in total - state counts in three different counties and federal counts as well.
You only hurt your argument if what you're comparing it to isn't even the case.
but back to the point - yes it would be best if EVERY child molester got consecutive sentences instead of concurrent, but it's not the fault of these boys or their families, so let them heal in peace. If you don't like the sentencing, get involved! Talk to your legislator, write letters to the editor, start a Facebook group, pass out flyers - get the word out PRIOR to sentencing.
Or better yet, send out hate mail. Get your dander all up over something that someone else has voiced as an opinion and spend days with your panties in a wad. Over something that has absolutely nothing to do with you personally. Trying to scare somebody with a nonexistent lawyer is just a punk play. Grow up and go to law school yourself. Or just grow up.
