“Cruising” Legal in Ohio Wildlife Preserves

Posted on August 3, 2009 by Rob Taylor

For those of you unfamiliar with the term, “cruising” is an activity in which men lurk about public restrooms, parks or other isolated places in the hopes of pairing up to either engage in some sex act or most often, as anyone who’s walked into a men’s room at the wrong time can attest to, stand around masturbating in groups. It is an unseemly phenomenon that most men soon learn to deal with with a raised eyebrow or disgusted sneer designed to make the erstwhile cruiser, genitalia in hand, move on to more receptive pastures.

My tendency is to shrug off cruising as the price we pay for living in a society where we are tolerant of different lifestyles and prosperous enough that many people seem to have too much time on hand to get up to no good. If I had children however I might feel differently if a hike through nature included coming across a hustler fellating some “straight” guy who thinks he’s not gay if he pays for it once a week from a man in a dress. If in a spiteful mood I might find a cop and have the people arrested.

Unless of course I was in the JoCo Wildlife Preserve. Then for some reason having sex in public is perfectly legal:

The blog referred to has the law for you to read. Basically because the assumption of people in a forest is that no one is around (something only people in raised in cities believe. There’s always someone in the woods with you) they technically aren’t breaking indecent exposure law because in Ohio you need intent to be seen by someone for the act to be illegal.

I’m not one to take the LaBarbera line but on this I break with my gay friends. This is childish and disgusting behavior that should be reviled by any adult with morals.

Joycelyn Louis is Evil Incarnate

Posted on July 31, 2009 by Rob Taylor

A 72-year-old foster mother thought her 9-year-old charge had stolen money from her. So she heated a potato masher until it glowed red and branded the child several times. Watch this video report which includes pictures of the injuries and you tell me Joycelyn Louis shouldn’t be strapped to an electric chair, her remains burned and scattered in a swamp:

Disgusting. I hope she spends the rest of her life in jail.

Look Who’s Teaching Your Children

Posted on July 25, 2009 by Rob Taylor

Anyone who has ever worked in youth programs can tell you that a few weeks of correcting the piss poor English of a 12-year-old “star” student who thinks Mr. So-and-so is just the coolest teacher ever because he gives all the girls great big hugs basically proves that homeschooling is the only way you can guarantee that your child will not return home one day with Mao’s Little Red Book in one hand and a receipt for an abortion in the other.

I’ve seen elementary students lectured on the evils of Republicans, spoken with gay teens who were told by their teachers that “all people have had gay sex” at least once and spoken to livid parents whose children were being made fun of in class by teachers. And I’ve heard of worse than that.

In other words, we just don’t have the caliber of teachers we should in this country. Not all of them mind you. Some teachers I have met and worked with were literally magnificent people who I’d trust with my children any time. Then there are teachers like Daniel Rothbard:

A Nassau teacher and camp counselor accused of having sex with a 15-year-old girl used text messages and the social networking site MySpace to arrange a meeting with his alleged victim, Suffolk authorities said Wednesday.

The online relationship between Daniel Rothbard, 28, of Merrick, and the girl began several days before a police officer discovered them Tuesday having sex in a parked car, according to Det. Lt. Matt Sullivan of the Third Precinct.

Using the screen name “DJ” or “D to the J” and claiming to be 17 years old, Rothbard also communicated online with the girl’s friends. “He was asking them online for sex,” Sullivan said.

Rothbard is a math teacher at the Willow Road Elementary School in Franklin Square, where he has been employed for four years, according to a statement from Elizabeth Lison, superintendent of Valley Stream Union Free School District 13. The district is consulting with legal counsel regarding his employment, she said.

Rothbard also worked as a summer counselor for about 15 years at Rolling River Day School and Camp in East Rockaway.

“We are all in shock – his closest friends, his family. He has a lot of close friends here and it is amazing that not one of them had an inkling,” said director Mark Goodman. The camp has fired him and sent letters to families recommending they ask their children whether anyone asked them “to keep a secret,” Goodman said. “We certainly have no reason to think that anything happened at camp.”

Rothbard was having sex with the 15-year-old about 8:25 p.m. Tuesday when the officer found the pair outside Westbrook Elementary School in West Islip, according to a Suffolk prosecutor. Police believe Rothbard and the girl met for the first time Tuesday.

“We believe there is every possibility that there are other victims,” Sullivan said.

What’s incredible here is that someone would think he could get away with something so asinine. A man who is almost 30 posing as a high school junior? How immature do you have to be to even do something like that? And how did he spend the last 15 years going unnoticed by schools and youth programs?

Because people allow teachers and counselors to dwell in perpetual adolescence, accepting the idea that those who work with their children will share the traits of children. “Fun” teachers are applauded for their ability to “relate” to kids and no one ever asks why this adult is so childlike. Parents think nothing of finding out their child’s teacher spent an entire semester promoting Ralph Nader and we think it’s par for the course to see a New York private school teacher sneaking his class to Communist Cuba. And Rothbard is one of just hundreds of teachers who have been caught molesting children.

This is who is teaching your children. And this is what they produce (via Breda Fallacy):

Mormons Fighting for Their Lives in Mexico

Posted on July 24, 2009 by Rob Taylor

Though Washington Post reporter William Booth can barely keep the sneering contempt for the Mexican Mormons out of his report his piece is one of the best reports on the conflict between Mexico’s drug cartels and the religious sect that just wants to farm in peace. Mexico’s government has given the sect permission to form a rural police force and arm themselves, which just shows how out of control Mexico is.

Booth, like many here, miss the point about the Cartel’s power grab. Legalization of drugs here will do nothing to put this genie back in the bottle. Otherwise this report, and the included video, give you a sense of how hopeless the situation is down there:

In the past three months, American Mormon communities in Mexico have been sucked into a dust devil of violence sweeping the borderlands. Their relative wealth has made them targets: Their telephones ring with threats of extortion. Their children and elders are taken by kidnappers. They have been drawn into the government’s war with the drug cartels.

This month, a leader of their colony was abducted by heavily armed men dressed as police, then beaten and shot dead 10 minutes from town. Benjamin LeBaron, 31, whom everyone called Benji, had dared to denounce the criminals, while refusing to pay a $1 million ransom demanded by kidnappers who had grabbed his teenage brother from a family ranch in May.

Amid the blood and mesquite at the site of his last breath, Benjamin LeBaron’s killers posted a sign that read: “This is for the leaders of LeBaron who didn’t believe and who still don’t believe.”

[…]

“All we want to do is live in peace. We want nothing to do with the drug cartels. They can’t be stopped. What we want is just to protect ourselves from being kidnapped and killed,” said Marco LeBaron, a college student who came home for the funeral of his brother, the slain anti-crime activist. Marco LeBaron is one of 70 Mormons who have volunteered to join a rural police force to protect the town. The Mexican government has given them permission to arm themselves.

For a taste of how the gangs operate, this section describes a home invasion. Not for the squeamish:

Early on July 7, four trucks loaded with men passed through a highway tollbooth, where they were recorded on videotape outside Galeana, where Benjamin LeBaron lived in a sprawling, new stucco home with his wife and five young children. Two trucks stopped at the cemetery outside town and waited. Two pickup trucks filled with 15 to 20 heavily armed men, wearing helmets, bulletproof vests and blue uniforms, came for LeBaron.

They smashed in his home’s windows and shouted for him to open the door, as his terrified children cried inside, according to an account given by his brothers. LeBaron’s brother-in-law Luis Widmar, 29, who lived across the street, heard the commotion and ran to his aid. Both men were beaten by the gunmen, who threatened to rape LeBaron’s wife in front of her children unless the men revealed where LeBaron kept his arsenal of weapons.

“But he didn’t have any, because I promise you, if he did, he would have used them to protect his family,” Julian LeBaron said.

LeBaron and Widmar were shot in the head outside town. A banner was hung beside their bodies that blamed them for the arrest of 25 gunmen who were seized in June after terrorizing the town of Nicolas Bravo, where they burned down buildings and extorted from business owners. According to Mexican law enforcement officials, the gunmen are members of the Sinaloa drug cartel, which is fighting the Juarez cartel for billion-dollar cocaine-smuggling routes into El Paso.

After the men killed LeBaron and Widmar, a video camera captured their departure at the highway tollbooth — the make, model and year of their vehicles and the license numbers, according to family members. There have been no arrests.

Justin TV: Providing Live Sex Shows for Pedophiles?

Posted on July 20, 2009 by Rob Taylor

According to this piece in The Inquisitr, on July 16th at around 10:00pm that’s exactly what happened. Apparently a group of 13-year-old girls were “live-streaming” onto the web during what I assume was a slumber party of some kind when the 800+ degenerates who showed up to watch them began asking for them to disrobe. Unsurprisingly, the girls did, to the point of nudity. To their credit JustinTV banned the girls’ accounts as soon as they were alerted, but since screen shots and video grabs of those girls nude will circulate on the web eternally, this incident demonstrates how dangerous allowing your kids on the Internet can be.

I’ve blogged before about YouTube and their tolerance of borderline child porn, but with pre-made video uploads it is not unrealistic to demand that companies work to keep child exploitation off their sites. With live streaming there is no reasonable expectation that companies can stop people from trading child porn as long as unsupervised children are allowed to interact with adults online.

When I saw Trench Reynolds’ post on this, I went to the JustinTV site the next day to make sure that the reported incident wasn’t simply an aberration. Within seconds of going to the site at around 2:00pm I saw that one of the top watched streams was of what looked like two 12-year-olds. I won’t post their pictures, but I will post the comments I saw being sent to them:

These girls were at best 12. And this was 2:00 in the afternoon. I can only imagine what kind of people are on the site at night.

Parents need to learn that there is no reason for teens to have web cams, that video sites are pedophile magnets and that you cannot allow your children to be on the Internet alone. Most of all, your 13-year-old doesn’t need to live stream on the web, period.Â A decade from now those little girls will realize that when some child raping pervert is caught with pictures of children undressed on his hard drive some were pictures of them. When some pervert couldn’t find a victim, he masturbated to the fantasy of molesting them. These children have no idea just how many pedophiles are even now using those shots to arouse themselves, or how many are looking for the girls in the shots themselves.Â JustinTV was in no position to protect them from that, only their parents were so it’s time for parents to wake up.
