Robert Charles Browne, Police Report

I'm going to be honest, I was only able to read 25 pages of the 44 page PDF file, and it was a struggle to continue reading it for as long as I did. It's not so much for the details in the report, I've read a fair share that are more gruesome, more heinous, and more disturbing. But it was the overwhelming feeling of sorrow for those that had their loved ones stolen from them, having their fate left to be described in such a cold manner.
Browne has laid claim to having ruthlessly killed 49 people, with no more reason that his general disdain for women. The entire report reads like a bad novel, aimlessly going from one crime scene to another, lacking any regret or sympathy for the pain inflicted by this heartless killer. And while I know that police reports are not meant to include injustice felt by those left behind... I can't bare to read it, knowing that the pain brought on by the loss of their loved one will once again be torn open.
The report, while lengthy does nothing but document the last moments of those murdered, as told in the words of manipulative man whose goal seems more focused on playing a game of cat and mouse with police than giving a straight forward confession. It only proves that Browne still is calculating, and still defiant in his behavior, as he seems to toy with the investigator just as often, if not more so, then actually providing valuable information which would have sped up the process of locating and solving these gruesome murders.
I can no longer stomach reading it. Perhaps it was the fact that I have found myself involved in cases where a family continues to search for their loved one long after the apparent crime has been committed, and therefore my anger at Browne's ongoing game of deception is just more than I can tolerate.
I've never seen a good excuse for murder, and in truth I wasn't expecting to see one this time either. However, his lack of anything more than an overall disturbing dislike of women as a motive, leaves me baffled. Time and again, he reacts to the killings as if they were entirely the fault of the victim, a "how dare she cheat on someone with me" , if you will, while completely ignoring his own accountability in the "cheating".
He told investigators in prison interviews that he never just went “looking for someone.” When the opportunity was there, Browne said he took it — “it was just disgust with the person and some of it just confrontation.”

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.

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...
