Vases Stolen...

I know it's not the usual sort of crime I post about- but you're stuck reading it now.

Police are investigating 28 stolen vases, taken from the graves of Veterans in Crownsville Md.

I've just got to come out and say it, it's almost a sure thing that these are being taken to be sold off for scape metal- there's no other reason why any stranger would want them, and the chances of someone being related to all 28 vets is extremely slim.

So, they've clearly got some low life asshole over there in Md, disgracing the entire town, and bringing shame to generations of his/her/their families. I can only hope that guilt eats away at the responsible person, as well as some sort of nasty infection- starting with his/her/their appendages. The entire idea of showing such complete disrespect for someone who served to protect the rest of us is nothing short of unforgivable.

Cemetery officials said the vases started disappearing in April and that 28 of them have been taken.

"When they start stealing the vases, they start hurting the families. That's pilferage. All they wanted was money for these because they're not worth anything to anybody unless you cash them in for salvage or something," said Bob Hooper of the Maryland Department of Veterans Affairs.

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...
