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.

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 ...
