An awful story from The Chicago Sun-Times:

A Cicero man angry about an alleged homosexual advance raped the man he claimed propositioned him, and then sodomized him with a broomstick, officials said.

Felipe Rivera, 43, is charged with a hate crime as well as aggravated criminal sexual assault and other offenses, said a spokesman for the Cook County state’s attorney’s office. If convicted, he could face more than 30 years in prison, a source said.

According to a spokesman for Cicero police, Rivera and the victim encountered each other at a party Friday night in the 1200 block of South 50th Avenue.

“Mr. Rivera got upset apparently because he believed the victim, No. 1, didn’t respond to a female and then, No. 2, somehow winked at him — made what he perceived as a sexual advance,” said Cicero police spokesman Dan Proft.

Rivera then punched the victim in the face, Proft said, and was asked to leave the party. He allegedly waited outside for the victim. According to Rivera, the victim, 37, then propositioned Rivera for a sex act — a claim the victim denies, Proft said.

Rivera followed the victim to the outer staircase of a basement apartment, where he removed the victim’s pants and raped him, authorities said. Afterward, Rivera punched the victim in the head, leaving him semi-conscious, then inserted a metal broom handle in the victim’s rectum, sources said.

Rivera gave police these details in a videotaped statement, according to Proft. When asked why he did it, Rivera allegedly said it was “because he hates f – – – – – s, and this is what they get,” according to Proft.

A spokesman for the state’s attorney said Rivera also shouted “sexually oriented derogatory comments” during the rape.

After the alleged attack, Rivera went to his mother’s residence nearby. Because she has an order of protection against him, she called the police, Proft said.

The Tribune is reporting that the victim claims Rivera was angry because he had refused to have sex with Rivera. This is being reported as erroneous nonsense even by anti-Gay sites, to their credit.

And while some of these same sites make a fair point about the hypocrisy of “hate crimes” I blogged this story because it always bothers me when degenerates like Rivera are let of the hook for their outrages against decency by being given the “repressed homosexual” excuse.

Felipe Rivera is being described as a closeted homosexual, as if not being out causes people to participate in violent assaults. It’s a popular lefty theory and like all popular lefty theories it’s bunk based on a profound misunderstanding of how the world works.

Rivera is a sadist in the old fashioned sense of the word. He derives pleasure, both sexual and emotional, from the violent and degrading assaults on others he perpetrates. Rivera isn’t necessarily Gay and that bit of pop-culture psychobabble, namely that hatred of something is really hatred of a part of ones self, does much to empower and embolden sexual predators.

Rivera is a person with no morals who wants to humiliate and degrade other men in an effort to feel powerful. That doesn’t make him Gay, in fact it may make the case that he’s not. He isn’t interested in having a Gay relationship, only hurting someone sexually while screaming abuse at them. That sounds less Gay and more BDSM to me.

I know, you’re thinking this is counter intuitive. But let me put it this way, most men like oral sex but that doesn’t mean we’re “mouthosexuals” or secretly Gay. Sexuality isn’t a black and white, mathematical equation where you can deduce what a person “is” with absolute clarity. Felipe Rivera proves this, he clearly doesn’t like Gays but he does like sodomizing, and then attempting to murder them. That sounds less like a closet homosexual (ala Larry Craig) and more like a degenerate sadist who targets men.

There are too many people in this country that minimize the depravity and evil of various criminals by medicalizing evil. Rapists, pedophiles and the assorted rogue’s gallery of fiends who turn up in the truly horrible crime stories of America are explained away time and again with a combination of Marxist theology and self-help book level psychoanalysis that in essence excuses them from their crimes and deceives us into thinking they can be treated.

They cannot be treated; they are monsters. Felipe Rivera did not commit this atrocity because his ego and id were in conflict about his gender identity in a homophobic culture. Rivera raped his victim because he’s evil, he enjoys being evil and he thought he wouldn’t get caught. He has less in common with a mental patient and more in common with the Marquis de Sade, who was known to sodomize his unwilling male servants.

Not that my rant will change anything, but don’t expect me to describe people like Rivera as the “Gay rapist” which I’m sure many are tempted to do, or as a closeted victim of a sexually repressed country. I’ll save my sympathy for the victim and I’ll call Rivera what he is: a degenerate sadist.

A Florida police officer with a history of abusing the public was arrested after handcuffing and molesting a 15 year old girl he found parked in a car with her 20 year old boyfriend. From News 12:

Fort Pierce police Officer Dwight Toombs has been arrested by his own department.

They say Toombs was responding to a report that a 15-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man were having intercourse in a vehicle earlier in December. A complaint affidavit says Toombs handcuff the man and the teen and fondled the girl.

Toombs says he molested her because he needed to take evidence.
Fort Pierce’s police chief says Toombs was in uniform at the time of the attack, and the evidence against him is very strong. The police chief also says it was necessary, but difficult to arrest one his own men.

Toombs has a track record of allegations against him. In 2004, the police department fired Toombs over allegations of child abuse. But he was later reinstated.

In 2006, he went on leave after the tasering death of a man. And in 2007, Toombs was reprimanded for spending time in an adult video store while on duty.

Toombs has been charged with three felony counts of sexual battery on a person 12 years of age or older by a government agent and three felony counts of lewd and lascivious battery. He was being held at St. Lucie County jail on $900,000 bond.

The Sun-Sentinel has more details, if you can stomach them, and Dreamin’ Demon breaks down his previous history. Why this known pervert was allowed a second chance to inflict himself on the public is a question City manager Dennis Beach, the man who rehired Toombs, should be made to answer in front of the voters. Or a jury.

Ft Pierce’s City Hall number is (772) 460-2200 and Dennis Beach’s extension is 300. I think I’ll call him up and ask him why Toombs was still on duty after tasering a man to death and being caught lurking in a porn shop after being given a second chance being a cop. If you can spare a few minutes why not do the same?
