This office does not discuss that

It must be easy for the attorney general’s office in Waynesboro to ignore the fact that they have just released a sexual predator convicted of raping a teenager and molesting two young children go free. After all, when they are hit square in the face with the question of why they dropped the attempt to keep him civilly committed beyond his original prison release date- all they had to do was say that they don't discuss those sorts of things with the public. You know, the same public who now has to deal with the fact that after being convicted in 1997 for the first rape, and 1998 for the molestation charges, Jeffrey W. Small will be roaming free once again.

Small, 32, was convicted of raping a 15-year-old girl in 1997 as she lay passed out at a party at his Staunton home, according to court records. While free on bond and awaiting trial on the rape charge, Small molested two young girls, 8 and 6, in January 1998 as he spent the weekend at the home of a Waynesboro woman.

Small was sentenced to eight years in prison on the rape and molestation charges and had an additional 16 months added on after being convicted of trying to intimidate a witness in the rape case, according to court records.

In October, the state filed court papers seeking Small’s civil commitment, a legal maneuver upheld by the United States Supreme Court in 1997 that allows states to keep convicted violent sex offenders committed indefinitely at a state-run facility. Virginia is just one of 17 states that engages in the practice of civil commitments for convicted violent sex offenders. Small’s original release date was Nov. 9.



Why even enact a law that allows these perverts to be civilly committed, if you have no plans on actually using the law? Instead, just goof around for 8 months, making it look like you're looking out for the general public, and then drop everything.

Read full story...

And be sure you don't miss this 'opps, we didn't want to have to explain that!!' remark:

“This office does not discuss the internal decision making process in civil commitment cases. Mr. Small has been placed on a very strict conditional release, and will be closely monitored to ensure that he abides by all the terms and conditions of that conditional release,”


Besides just committing these crimes, Small was also in trouble for trying to intimidate a witness in the rape case, and more than 30 prison infractions during his more than nine years behind bars... geez aren't we glad he'll be out free.

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...

Lost Little Girl

It has been 11 years... dare I say hello to old friends?   There's a new crime, a new missing person, a new murdered woman, a new victim. Nothing has changed. All these years and still - its all the same.   Gabby Petito   She's just one of countless pretty white blonde girls that the main stream media has paraded in front of us, capturing our attention as they lay out the plot that will play across our TVs and phone screens as we wait... first for clues as to where she could be, then for the news she was found, we wait for the reports that it was a homicide, detais on her last encounters... we want to know the cause of death. More than that we want to know where her #vanlife sharing and who most of the world believes was her killer, boyfriend Brian Christopher Laundrie is.   How do they pick which missing person will make the best headlines? How do they determine that Gabby will bring more views than Mary Johnson ? or Dulce Maria Alavez ? Why not ...
