In the News

Okay, after a few days of being absent, I have more information that I know what to do it.


We have Columbus Ohio, and Charles S. Davis.

Police said the teenager was walking to a basketball game at East High School on Saturday night.

According to police, Davis, 32, approached the girl and started a conversation. Then he allegedly pulled out a knife and forced her into a vacant apartment.

Police said that the victim walked with Davis about four miles to Woodland Meadows apartments, where he allegedly took her inside and physically and sexually assaulted her.

"She feared for her life. She believed he had a weapon. So, in those circumstances, you do what you feel you have to do to survive the attack," said Betty Schwab, of Columbus police.

Here's the part that should have everyone in disgust,

Officials said Davis had been released from jail less than 24 hours before the attack, NBC 4's Holly Hollingsworth reported.

In 1997, Davis was in prison for raping a woman in Franklin County. He was released last year, officials said.

Then, on Jan. 14, he as stopped for speeding in Marion. Police said his driver's license was under suspension. Davis appeared in court on Tuesday but did not get any jail time.

Then, on Thursday, Davis was arrested for taking a stranger's car after the owner had left it warming up in her driveway. Police found the car when Davis allegedly ran it into a ditch.

Davis was taken to jail and the next day, he was sentenced to three days in jail for being found driving with a suspended license twice in one week.

Courthouse and jail personnel said he was released because of what seemed to be a mental instability. SRC
Humm. Mentally unstable, so yeah- release him from jail. Because we should have mentally unstable sex offenders walking around the streets. I'm ashamed to live in Ohio.


And on to Iowa, who it seems has lost some of it's sex offenders.
Statistics from the Iowa Department of Public Safety show that as of last week, 298 of the more than 6,000 sex offenders statewide were unaccounted for by law enforcement. That's up from 142 in June. SRC

How do you lose a sex offender? I mean, let's be honest here. I'm pretty sure that Iowa police can tell you where the local crack heads hang out. They most likely know where their drug dealers are staying. Because, they use that information to get search warrants, and to send undercover police in. And I'm pretty sure that not one drug house is on that list because the drug dealer went up and registered it. And yet, they've lost sex offenders. Life sentences people, give them life in prison- and then the state will know exactly where they are. The added benefit- they won't be out running around where your wives shop or your kids play.

I could not agree more! You are a very wise man. I am a victim of sexual predators when I was just 13 and am a survivor. I was stalked, kidnapped and raped repeatedly for over 14 days of being held by three men. Finally they beat me, shot me and left me for dead in a local park under brush. Thankfully someone found me and I survived. It has been over 12 years since my horrific event. I have a daughter of my own now, and am in consistent fear of something happening to her due to the "system's" lack of care for those of us who endure such things. It seems as though they have to physically take your soul away and leave a dead body for someone to sit up and take notice. They do not seem to realize everything dies within you even if you do still have a breath in your body. My captors never served a day in jail, I never got to go into a courthouse to point my finger at them and tell them they did kill me. They sent my three captors back to Mexico where they belonged and told them never to return to the United States. I was supposed to be happy with this result. At the time I didn’t care about anything at all, but then I realized, these men are just going to do the same or worse to someone else even in Mexico. It shouldn’t matter the age, the circumstances or anything else. Even the thought of raping a child of any sort is a sick horrendous thought and these people don’t need help. They need locked away FAR away for the rest of their lives. The "system" should care about the innocent and about saving that innocence not help in the destruction of it.

How do you lose sex offenders? By forcing them to move from their homes with nowhere to go that's how. This 2000 foot residency restriction is a joke. It's a false sense of security for me and my children. I would MUCH rather have them live next to me and have them comply to registration than to move and NOT know where they are. Trust me, I'm not defending them, but let's be honest...they arne't going to be sent to jail or some deserted island for the rest of their lives. I refuse to live in fear for the rest of my life about sex offenders. Why do they allow people charged with drunk driving (first, second, third offense) to live within 2000 feet of anywhere that serves alcohol? OH, because they don't hurt anyone but themselves? Hmmm...yeah, let's ask all the mothers of the children killed by drunk drivers every year if all they hurt is themselves. Whether you live within 2000 feet or whatever they still have access to children as easily as a drunk has access to alcohol or drugs or whatever. It's not where they live!! I have no real answer to "fixing the sex offender issue"...but with over 294 missing since the law went into effect, I'm thinking Dr. Phil would ask this to the Iowa Legislature..."How's that workin for ya?"

Florida Sex Offender Registry

Reading the news today, I was taken back to see that the Florida Sex Offender registry was being criticized. Having had the chance to look at it previously, I had always found it rather informative, and well organized. The issue that many are having with it now wouldn't be noticed by the occasional browser on the site. Which makes it even worse. A review of the FSR has found some rather unsettling statistics: The News-Press analyzed the Florida Department of Law Enforcement database of 36,306 sex offenders and found: • 9,205 of them are incarcerated • 7,037 have run away or can't be found • 824 have been deported; and • 516 are dead. Of the 15,573 sex offenders listed as released and not on parole or probation, only 11,355 of those actually live in Florida. Sex offender registries can only be usefully, and only fully do what they where designed to do when they are updated, maintained and monitored continuously. When you are relying on the SO registries to monitors how safe your...

This land is my land, this land is not your land...

I was reading the illegal immigrant news this morning... you know, all about the Spanish National anthem... and all about their big rally May 2... and I started thinking. Perhaps, just perhaps we need to stand up. It may be a really good time to remind everyone who's country this is. 12 million illegals... heh, I think we can beat that. The rough estimate is that the US has a population of 298,000,000, or close too it. Take away the estimated 12 million illegals, and we still have 286,000,000 give or take some. So, basically, if one were to be honest- a boycott by legal citizens would be more impressive. 12 million illegals, who can not legally vote verses 286 million citizens who can minus children and some criminals. My country. Not theirs. My taxes, my jobs, my political leaders. 286 million people should be able to remind law makers just who put them in office. 286 million people should be able to remind companies who buys their products. 286 million people should be able to si...

Lost Little Girl

It has been 11 years... dare I say hello to old friends?   There's a new crime, a new missing person, a new murdered woman, a new victim. Nothing has changed. All these years and still - its all the same.   Gabby Petito   She's just one of countless pretty white blonde girls that the main stream media has paraded in front of us, capturing our attention as they lay out the plot that will play across our TVs and phone screens as we wait... first for clues as to where she could be, then for the news she was found, we wait for the reports that it was a homicide, detais on her last encounters... we want to know the cause of death. More than that we want to know where her #vanlife sharing and who most of the world believes was her killer, boyfriend Brian Christopher Laundrie is.   How do they pick which missing person will make the best headlines? How do they determine that Gabby will bring more views than Mary Johnson ? or Dulce Maria Alavez ? Why not ...
