Stephen Marshall

UPDATE:

Yes, I know most of you are here looking for his blog. And guess what? I know the address of it. Yep, that's right. I know the link you are looking for. Sadly, I can not give you the link... instead I can only tell you that T.O. Crime is sure to have it, links to that site below.

Stephen Marshall's action are difficult to understand. No one seems to be able to say for certain what caused him to drive from his home in Nova Scotia to Maine and fatally shoot two of the States registered sex offenders.

Police say Stephen Marshall of Nova Scotia, Canada, looked up 34 sex offenders on the state's online registry before showing up at the homes of Joseph Gray, 57, of Milo, and William Elliott, 24, of Corinth, and shooting them with a .45-caliber handgun. Marshall took guns and a truck from his father in Houlton before going to the victims' homes, authorities said. Continue reading


Marshall, who shot and killed himself when confronted by police appears to have left few clues as to why he choose the two sex offenders, or why he targeted sex offenders from Maine at all.



Amazingly, I only learned about this crime while reading T.O. Crime, by Harding. He's our Canadian watchdog, keeping a keen eye out on the crimes of in the great North. Harding has done an excellent job writing this one up, and I hope you take the time to go over and read the information he has provided on his post Hunting Perverts. And for a good read of Canadian news coverage of the story, check out this link.

Boy, has this one opened a can of worms! There seems to be a pretty broad and somewhat explosive discussion going on about public access to sex offender registries. I find it remarkable though, that most of what I find in the media is in the Canadian press. I'm shocked that there is not a larger discussion in the U.S.

Is it out there and I'm just missing it? Or, maybe it's not as big an issue as I think?

Perplexed,
Harding

Guided by practical experience and not theory, especially in medicine Kennedy hate crimes rider may doom Hatch's sex offender bill By Robert Gehrke The Salt Lake Tribune WASHINGTON - A fight over federal hate crimes legislation could torpedo Sen. 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 ...
