Fireman Wants Job Back

Let me start this by saying that I believe every person capable of working, should work, although I put some restrictions on exactly what sort of jobs some people should be allowed to have. Take for instance the teller at my local bank. I wouldn't a former bank robber filling that position. Even more, I wouldn't want a known child abuser babysitting my kids. Or a mass murderer working as the greeter at my local Walmart. You see, some people just shouldn't have some jobs.

Willard Hyslop had a job. In fact, he had what most people would consider a good job. And then some people complained, and he lost his job. Now, Hyslop wants his job back. And, his employer wants to give him his job back. Only, there are still those that think Willard Hyslop shouldn't have that job. So, he's sueing.

Hyslop worked as a firefighter for Kenockee Township. As part of that job, he fought fires- of course. But he also did other things. Like participate in parades, and work at nonemergency elementary school events. His says "He's a real hard-working guy. We never had a problem with him on our department," and is fully supporting him in his efforts.

The issue which caused Hyslop his job was a conviction in December 1992, for which he served a year in jail and 36 months probation.

The crime?

Hyslop pleaded guilty in St. Clair County Circuit Court to two counts of attempted, second-degree criminal sexual conduct for having sexual relations with his then girlfriend's 6-month-old baby, according to court records.

Rewind to the part where he attended community parades and school events, as part of his employment with the township fire department.
There are certain people we tell our children to trust, because we know that if there is ever the need for them- these are the people whose sole purpose of employment is to serve and protect. These are just normal jobs- they come with responsibility and the need for the public to be able to trust those doing the jobs. Yeah, Hyslop might be very capable of putting out fires, but he's not really the type of person I want comforting a child at the scene of an accident.

Umm..yeah... I really don't think he shoud be allowed to be a firefighter. But what is really bothering me on this one, is why he only served 6 months & probation for sexually victimizing an infant!! What kind of sentence is that!?

Oops. That was supposed to say "1 year" not 6 months. I mixed up my numbers. My brain is a bit frazzled today.

He wins the "Sickest Pervert" award for my day. I cannot even believe, that his former employer wants him back. And I can't tell you how I feel about his sentence. Too many cuss words, it wouldn't be "safe for work."

Misslisa, about that sentence- I didn't even want to get started on that... because then I would have never got to the "wants his job back" part of the post. So, I closed my eyes and pretended I didn't read it. Because, sometimes, the only thing that ensures I continue to have faith in the justice system is my ignoring the horrible errors made.

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...
