Pro Death

I've not ever tried to hide my pro death stand. I'm willing to openly admit that I favor keeping the death penalty, and that there has been more than one case where I've found myself stunned that the guilty didn't get it.

Anthony Stockelman is one of those people. You all know the story- he kidnapped, molested and killed a 10 year old girl. Then thanks to DNA, he was convicted. He didn't get the death penalty. Should have, but didn't.

And that might be a valid point in explaining my surprise to find his name listed on a website that appears to be against the death penalty. Something senseless called 'Walk 4 Life 2008". A quote:
For now talk about it. Talk about it amongst one another or here if you wish, what would it take to satisfy the people that want a death penalty? Life without parole is no gift of life let me tell you. It is a death sentence, you just die slowly. Having a convicted murderer serve life opposed to being executed always gives the victims family the opportunity to forgive, not forget, but forgive. I believe this is where the healing is.

Forgive? I hardly think so.
And then from the 'dedication' post:
The Following Day's Have Been Dedicated to Prisoners By Their Loved Ones. To dedicate a day to loved one please contact us at projectrevolution2010@gmail.com Mark subject Prisoner dedication.

And on April 6th- "Anthony Stockelman (Indiana)".
He my friends, is a waste of human cells. But he's not on death row. Should be. But isn't.
But, I did notice something odd. April 6th. That's the date someone picked for him. And, it's the date that Stockelman was arrested back in 2005.
Mr. Stockelman was arrested on April 6 after he provided a DNA sample that matched semen found at the crime scene as well as saliva on a cigarette butt found at the creek, the butt having not been processed until March 30.


Feel free to show your 'support' to the walker, or the 'organizer' of this walking protest if you want... here's his myspace. Maybe someone might want to remind him about how Stockelman forever hurt a family, and how he forced a child who was just 10 to spend her last moments experiencing his perverted desires.

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. The White ...

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...
