Roger W. Burmmitt – Defiance, Ohio
Kevin T. Westerbeck – New Lebanon, Ohio

Let me give you a hint- you won't find their names on any sex offender list- at least not yet.
These 17 men are the most recent internet predators to be rounded up by Perverted Justice and local law enforcement.
One by one, the 17 men appeared Monday in Darke County Common Pleas Court, each facing a felony count of attempted unlawful sexual conduct with a minor following an unprecedented weekend Internet sex sting in Darke County.

Of course, you can be sure that this is another sting you'll be hearing a lot about in the future- as it was set up by PJ and law enforcement, and the ever popular Dateline.
At a quick glance the number seems a little less intimidating given that Datelines last sting reeled in many more- but don't sit back and get relaxed just yet:
In the 10 days leading up to the sex sting, P-J volunteers made contact with more than 150 men; 18 showed up at a home just northeast of Greenville planning to meet a teenager between 13 and 15 years old.

Two of the men thought they were meeting a boy; the rest planned to meet girls.

17 out of 150... which means your children still run the chance of meeting so many potential predators during their internet sessions.

For more information on Perverted Justice you'll find their website here, for a peek at the press release given by Darke County's Sheriff and Prosecutor Pj has reprinted a copy here.

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...

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...
