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 Arianna Fitts - a beautiful 5 year old girl who went missing in 2016, days later her mother was found murdered and buried in a public park- where is her massive news coverage ? Why did the murders of Crystal Michelle Turner, and Kylen Carrol Schulte stop being headlines once police denounced the possibility of a connection between their gruesome murders and Gabby's disappearance? Where is the manhunt for their killer?

11 years... I've often wondered what sort of crime would be the one that grabbed my attention enough- that left me scrolling through search results at 3am - that became dinner table talk - that forced me to pull up a map - that haunted my thoughts while I laid in bed - that caused me to open up this old blog and ramble about a crime only heinous, pitiful excuse for a human would commit....  

Gabby's case is in the news... and statistically that improves the chances that the case will be solved. But once it is, once you have heard all the details and can finally tell the story from start to finish like an old movie you have seen a hundred times- perhaps your interest will turn to demanding the same justice for another family with a lost little girl.... I promise you there are hundreds to choose from.

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...
