Tindall

Not far from where I live is a little town know mostly for it's slopes- known as Mad River Mountain, although it also holds the claim of having the shortest street in the US of A, and (as if that's not enough) claims to have had the very first concrete streets too.

Bellefontaine is the type of town where you don't stop to think about whether you're safe... in this small town you just are. Or, at least that was the general opinion around town. And for one family, the thought that a monster could be living so close to home never came to mind...

Joan Green raised six children in her lifetime. She was a Sunday school teacher, and a window. At 72 years of age, Joan lived alone, a few doors down from a group home that housed troubled teenage boys. But she'd been there a long time, and there didn't seem to be any reason for concern on behalf of herself or her children.

In 2003, the then 13-year-old Tindall admitted to raping a 14-year-old classmate at his Huntsville home near Indian Lake, other charges of rape and kidnapping were dropped in exchange for a guilty plea from him, and he ended up serving two years before being paroled out and sent to the group home near Green. Because of his age, there was no notification given that a dangerous sex offender had been relocated in the otherwise peaceful neighborhood.

Tindall had lived in the group home for a few months when police responded to a call about a break in at a nearby pizza parlor. Police say Tindall was able to get past a door alarm and home monitors Dec. 23, broke into the pizza parlor. During the investigation into the break in, police were able to follow Tindall's tracks in the snow to Green's home.

Tindall had entered Green's home through a rear window, and proceeded at some point, up to Green's bedroom. He viciously attacked Green, assaulting and raping her before finally killing the 72 year old. Tindall then returned to the group home, where police later found him.

Tindall plead guilty to aggravated murder in September, after prosecutors dropped charges of rape, aggravated burglary, breaking and entering and abuse of a corpse. on Tuesday he was sentenced.

He was convicted as an adult in Logan County Common Pleas Court of killing Joan Green in her home Christmas Eve last year, sentenced to 30 years, with the chance of parole. Once released, he will have to register as a sexual offender for the rest of his life.

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...
