Tindall, 16 and a predator

He's just sixteen, and yet he's a predator. After serving time for a rape in 2003, Tindall was released in 2005. Not many months later he raped and killed a 72 year old woman. There were no warnings given to the neighbors that a sexual predator lived within walking distance of their homes, no way for the family of Joan Green to protect her from the person who would steal her life. Because he committed his first offense he was an adult, and because he is still was under 18, there was no information released that a sex offender lives just doors away from Green in a group home. The rights he was granted because he was a juvenile, ended up costing Joan Green her life.

BELLEFONTAINE (AP) — A 16-year-old will be tried as an adult in the beating death of an elderly woman whose body was found Christmas Eve, a judge ruled.
“There is probable cause to believe that a murder was committed and that this child probably committed it,” visiting Judge Mark Spees said at a hearing Wednesday.
A grand jury is expected to consider the case of Christopher E. Tindall before the end of the month, prosecutor Gerald Heaton said.
“It’s exactly what we wanted,” said John Green, whose 72-year-old mother Joan Green was found dead in the bedroom of her home covered in bloody blankets.
Tindall was originally charged with juvenile delinquency counts of burglary, aggravated burglary, aggravated murder, rape and abuse of a corpse.
Detective Dwight Salyer testified Wednesday that police investigating the Dec. 24 break-in at a pizza shop found footprints in the snow leading to Green’s house and then to a nearby group home where Tindall had been living since his release in August from a youth prison.
Salyer said Tindall had a bandaged hand and scrapes on his face.
When Tindall was taken to the police station for questioning, two roommates found a blood-stained towel under his bed and items including a window bolt, a clue that led Salyer back to Green’s home. The detective said he discovered an unlocked kitchen window, then found the body inside.
Tindall later confessed to breaking into the pizza place and admitted that he entered Green’s home, Salyer testified.

Did he lack parentaly supervision and guidance? Is there something seriously lacking in his brain function? How can a 16 year old (14 when he was actually caught) come to this?

Orrin Hatch's push to strengthen the nation's sex-offender registries and clamp down on sex crimes. The Senate Judiciary Committee gave quick, unanimous approval to Hatch's bill Thursday, clearing its way for consideration by the full Senate. But Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., said he plans to try to attach language to a bill that would require tougher sentences, provide federal assistance and offer grants to prosecute hate crimes - those motivated by hatred for a race, religion, gender or sexual orientation.

WTW Someone Please Help Us

There's so much to work with, I'm going to just hit as much as I can. Ashely Simpson decided to pick a fight at McDonald's. Betting millions that if the employee would just go and get the manager- the manager would just love her. Simpson's climbing on the counter and irate behavior where in typical White Trash Style. Great coverage at Stereogum. Tom Cruise has decidedly canned his sister for her inability to help him keep his mouth shut. Evidently he needs a real professional as his PR person- in order to keep him in line. It's just not right firing family because you're and idiot. Kate Hudson is suing someone because of photos of her in which she looks like a starving actress. She claims the images suggest she has a eating disorder- no Kate, it's not the images, it's the you. One should not sue because they have starved themselves to the point of it being noticeable in photos. Please stop by these other great sites to read more WHITE TRASH WEDNESDAY B...

Boyfriends...

I sometimes wonder if certain men have some sort of animal DNA breed into them. The type of DNA or whatever it is that makes animals ritually preform certain actions. Like lions, when a male lion takes over a pride it'll often kill the offspring of the previous male, before mating with the female lions and creating cubs of it's own. I only wonder this, because it seems like there are an overwhelming number of men out there that end up killing the children of their girlfriends, not all of them do- but on a case by case comparison between girlfriends killing their boyfriends offspring and boyfriends doing it, it just seems that it's a lot more common amoung men. NOT THAT ALL OF THEM DO THIS... there are some great boyfriends/stepfathers out there that actually take care of kids as if they are their own... but then we have cases like Christopher Thunborg and Kashon Scott. Thunborg was babysitting his girlfriend's 11 month of baby in March when police say he caused ...
