Warren Jeffs

I'd seen this on the news tonight... and could only wonder why everyone in LE had waited until now to do something, after all I first heard about this pervert and his "religion" a few years back. But, the important this is that someone- the FBI- has decided this creep has committed enough crimes to justify placing charges against him.
For those of you unaware, Warren Jeffs is a "church leader", often referred to as a "prophet" by his followers. Living in Utah has provided him with the perfect community to spread his beliefs of polygamy and child rape.
From CNN:
Jeffs is the leader of the polygamous Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, based in the neighboring communities of Hildale, Utah, and Colorado City, Arizona.
[...]
Jeffs, 50, is accused of arranging marriages between underage girls and older men.

He is wanted in Arizona on criminal charges of sexual conduct with a minor. He also was charged in Utah with rape as an accomplice.

Jay, from Stop the ACLU has details, and a photo in case you happen to run into this sexual predator.

Slight point of order: He had been charged with crimes before then, but what makes this far more significant is that the FBI looked at a large variety of other scumbags, and decided that, out of all of the ones that weren't on the Ten Most Wanted List, he was the worst. Murderers, rapists, and people accused of God only knows what else, and they decided he was the worst. Based on what little I know from watching the news, they made the right call.

My understanding is that his base of support is only in isolated conclaves in the middle of nowhere, but there are a lot of mountains in that region, plenty of caves, and plenty of places to hide. To the various law enforcement agencies involved, I wish happy and swift hunting.

I just came to say I think they have been looking for Jeffs for a couple of years. Even had his compound under surveillance for a while.
But he has gone underground and they haven't been able to find him.
I too am glad they are making him a priority. I think what has been on the news is only the tip of what this guy has been into. There are several rumors about him.

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 ...
