I haven’t followed this story much, because I don’t care all that much. I want the best for the child, but children disappear every day it seems, and it’s only the select few the the media pounces on. And that’s my problem. The pouncing.
Nancy Grace is an obnoxious woman who needs to return to Georgia or wherever she grew up and chase ambulances.
She has onscreen prayer vigils for a missing child, but attacks the poor mother to the point where the mother commits suicide. That is just bizarre. Is the mother guilty ? Who knows at this point. Is that still in incredibly bad taste, and not only poor law, but poor journalism ? YES !!
Nancy Grace is actually a DISgrace, and that CNN keeps her on payroll….. doesn’t really surprise me. And her response ?
In an exclusive interview with “Good Morning America” today, Grace said that she takes no responsibility for Duckett’s suicide.
“If anything, I would suggest that guilt made her commit suicide,” Grace told ABC News’ Chris Cuomo.
So now we have a missing child, and who Nancy obviously thinks was the main suspect has killed herself, so we’ll never know what that woman knew. What did it ? “Guilt.” Of course it wasn’t a ludicrous lawyer-turned-talking head berating the poor woman.
If you want to be a prosecutorial bitch-from-hell, you need to get back in a courtroom, Nancy. If this child shows up alive (I HOPE) or deceased with no connection to the mother, you will have hell to pay.
Nancy, your TV days are numbered.

How did someone not see THIS coming ?!
A man with a black trench coat whose shooting rampage in a Montreal college killed one person and wounded 19 others before he was slain by police said on a blog in his name that he liked to play a role-playing Internet game about the Columbine shootings.
Well that’s just great. A new generation of whackos gets inspired by a past (and thankfully passed) generation of whackos. But there’s more.
In postings on a Web site called VampireFreaks.com, blogs in Gill’s name show more than 50 photos depicting the young man in various poses holding a rifle and donning a long black trench coat and combat boots.
…
He said on the site that he was drinking whiskey in the morning and described his mood the night before as “crazy” and “postal.”
…
“Before our technique was to establish a perimeter around the place and wait for the SWAT team. Now the first police officers go right inside. The way they acted saved lives,” he said.
So the dude was a nut-case…. no surprise…. the Montreal police act with force and preemption ?! That’s a HUGE surprise.

And now’s he get’s to spend some time in a Mexican prison….
MSNBC has learned that U.S. officials have arrested TV reality star Duane “Dog” Chapman and two family members in Hawaii for extradition to Mexico.
Chapman’s wife told MSNBC’s Rita Cosby that heavily armed U.S. marshals arrived at the family’s house today and took away Chapman, his brother, Tim, and son, Leland.
…
In 2003, the Chapmans went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to retrieve Max Factor heir Andrew Luster, who was wanted in the U.S. on rape charges.
Bounty hunting is considered a crime in Mexico.
At that time, Mexican prosecutors maintained that Luster’s capture violated their sovereignty.
The Chapmans each could face up to 8 years in prison if they are returned to Mexico and convicted on kidnapping charges.
Luster is now in jail, serving a 124-year term, but at the time, the Chapmans were also jailed by Mexican authorities for a brief time three years ago.
The three returned to the United States after posting bail of their own.
Wow… a bail-jumping bounty hunter. The irony.

This guy needs to suffer the wrath of the long arm of the law:
AIDS timebomb Everson Banda lured women for sex sessions at his holiday campsite caravan.
The African asylum seeker — who was in Britain illegally and nicknamed himself Ace — bedded scores of women trippers and 13 co-workers in three seasons at the resort.
But immigration officials arrested him in a targeted July swoop. And a search of his caravan found letters from lawyers of women who claimed he had given them HIV.
They named up to five distraught lovers infected with the virus — which causes deadly Aids — after having sex with Banda.
This is serial murder, plain and simple.

A rapper is in trouble… (I am so ready for hip-hop to go the way of disco)
Rapper 50 Cent was arrested in New York on Friday for driving dangerously in an uninsured Lamborghini through midtown Manhattan, police and witnesses said.
In all fairness, at least disco was somewhat musical. Rap/hip-hop is just punk thugs being punk thugs.

Prove this, prove who did it. Then fire up old smokey, or get the needles ready.
A children’s court prosecutor said that Milwaukee police are still trying to find all the individuals involved in the apparent gang rape of an 11-year-old girl.
A 16-year-old girl and a 15-year-old boy have been charged in the assault.
Criminal complaints said that the young girl was repeatedly assaulted by up to 19 boys in a north side home on Monday night as the 16-year-old girl told her what sex acts to perform.
The complaints filed in Milwaukee County Children’s Court said that a 40-year-old relative of the 16-year-old also participated in the assault.
Assistant District Attorney Matthew Torbeson said that the victim has said 15 to 20 individuals were involved in the assault.
Torbeson said that the man is the uncle of the 16-year-old.
The prosecutor said that he will likely ask that the 15- and 16-year-olds be waived to adult court.
Anyone who can rape an 11-year-old girl doesn’t deserve to see more than one more birthday. Prove it. Then remove those guilty from the gene pool.
And if the uncle really set this up, I want him hung on the courthouse square.

and, it being prison, I REALLY don’t want to know how they manage to dial the numbers…
Cell phones, complete with a charger and data chips, were found in the body cavities of four inmates at a maximum-security prison, and they had used the phones to direct criminal activities on the street, officials said Wednesday.
…
“Each one had a cellular with a number of chips,” Arevalo said, adding that one also had hidden a charger in his anal cavity.

I can’t say I disagree with this:
An Army investigator has recommended the death penalty for four soldiers accused of murder during a raid in Iraq.
Lt. Col. James P. Daniel Jr. made the recommendation in report obtained Saturday by The Associated Press.
Daniel found several aggravating factors that warrant a sentence of death in the case of four soldiers accused of killing three men during the May raid in the Salahuddin province.

They need more crime victims:
With the nation’s capital experiencing a spike in violent crime, Lori Boothroyd felt a little uneasy about bringing her family to the city.
“I told the kids to stay near me,” the Noblesville, Ind., mother said as she paused on the National Mall to snap pictures of the Washington Monument.
Businesses and government officials are worried that other visitors will share the same concerns in the wake of robberies and slayings at tourism sites.
“If you keep mugging people on the Mall, you’re going to mug our economy at some point,” said Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton, the District of Columbia’s nonvoting member of Congress.
I love that last part…. “If you keep mugging people on the Mall….” Who is she talking to ? The people doing the mugging and killing are largely her constituents. It’s a good thing this story is a hoax.
Sean Armstrong is manager of a clothing store across the street from the jewelry store where a man was shot in the back Aug. 20 during a robbery. He said business has been lighter ever since.
That can’t be true, because as I’m sure you are all aware, firearms are illegal in DC.
“We should be dealing with the institutions like education, vocational and job training, housing programs _ and most importantly family support,” said Jason Ziedenberg, executive director of the Justice Policy Institute, a Washington-based think tank that seeks alternatives to incarceration.
But of COURSE…. but, naturally, school choice/vouchers doesn’t figure into the mix at all. Ya know, for murderers I know of an alternative to incarceration. It involves a needle.
