Sex-crime victim faces jail and fines for tweeting her attackers’ names
Savannah Dietrich felt that the group of guys who molested her when she was passed out at a party got off too easy. Judge Dee McDonald,who made the decision, in juvenile court, placed a broad gag order that barred Dietrich from speaking about what happened to her at the party. The case involves two males under the age of 18, who assaulted Dietrich while she was passed out, and shared pictures of the event with others.
In her frustration over the light sentence for her attackers, Dietrich revealed their names on Twitter.
From the Louisville Journal Courier:
“They said I can’t talk about it or I’ll be locked up,” Dietrich tweeted. “So I’m waiting for them to read this and lock me up. ____ justice.
“Protect rapist is more important than getting justice for the victim in Louisville.”
Dietrich might now face fines and up to six months in jail, for contempt of court. While a decision is being made in her case, the lawyers of the perpetrators, , Chris Klein and David Mejia, have asked for a continuance of the existing gag order.
Completely gagging the victim from speaking about what had happened to her confers more psychological punishment upon her than to the perpetrators, who will likely be serving time in juvenile detention.
Suggestions by supposed experts were that the victim should spend her own money and resources to fight the decision of the judge, so that she can be allowed to speak to clergy, counselors or others who could render assistance for her probable substance abuse problem, and the accompanying damage from sexual abuse.
Perhaps some feel that a girl who passes out at a party is fair game to all the guys who are incapable of normal sexual relationships. While Dietrich was wrong to place herself in a compromising position, she does not deserve a jail sentence for speaking about the aftermath.
Perhaps if the sexual offenses had been taken seriously, the court would not be considered ‘contemptible’ by the Savannah Dietrich and the general public.
Roger Ebert: Too Tired to Notice Batman was Screened in Gun-Free Zone.
Ebert: Gun-Free Theater Proves Concealed Carry Doesn’t Work.
Breitbart author, Warner Todd Huston, chides movie critic Roger Ebert for a sloppy conclusion that U.S. gun regulations are insane. Specifically Ebert stated that the legal recognition of concealed carry rights is flawed because no one shot back at the perpetrator of the Batman massacre. A decade of significant health problems, as well as a life among the leftie “intelligentsia” might have worn down Mr. Ebert’s energy for his primary livlihood as a writer and critic.
Huston finishes the job for Ebert as he points out that the Cinemark Century Theaters, which own the venue at which the massacre occurred, forbids firearms at their movie theaters. In other words, their customers, like those at any other gun-free zones, such as Columbine High School, and Virginia Tech, could be recognized as easy targets for criminal violence. James Holmes would have chosen such a place for gaining personal notoriety, and for assurance that he wouldn’t suffer return fire.
ABC Attempted to Pin Batman Massacre on Tea Party
Blame game starts in Colorado shootings | Video | TheBlaze.com.
ABC’s Good Morning America attempted to pin the Batman shootings in Colorado on James Holmes found on the Aurora Colorado Tea Party Site. That individual is twice the age of the massacre suspect.
Pharmer wishes to return the favor. She wonders if the 24 year old James Holmes, who is the actual suspect, obtained his firearm from the Fast and Furious disbursement, or some similar government effort to purposely place arms in the hands of crazy people, for the purpose of obtaining support for gun control.
Pharmer notes that the Aurora Colorado location, is very close to the Columbine massacre, giving it enhanced historical significance.
Pharmer also notes the previous suggestions that Batman was timed to be released for political reasons as it had a similarly named bogeyman as the investment company which Romney led, and onto which Obama has projected myriad social evils. Is there a purposeful effort to cement said association in people’s minds?
Pro-lifers understand that Obama is quite capable of endorsing gratuitous killing, in the form of abortion, infanticide, as well as the death panels of his health care plan. He also is known for bragging about personally choosing who is to be killed next in armed forces or drone operations. Our president has sucked all meaning out of the Nobel Peace Prize.
Obama’s attorney general Eric Holder is known for his connection to the disbursement of firearms to the drug cartels in Mexico, resulting in hundreds of killings. The purpose was to incite crimes in order to obtain the sentiment for gun control. Obama cites executive privilege in his coverup of this Fast and Furious operation.
It is not difficult to believe that guns and explosives could have been supplied to the latest crazy killer, hoping for a new disaster, and to make a gullible voter base blame the killings on inanimate objects. Taking into consideration Obama’s past records, dealings and statements, arming a crazy man to sway public sentiment with a mass killing is not outside of his capabilities.
It’s “Tit for Tat” to the mainstream media: Pharmer thinks they are assisting Obama’s latest reelection effort, and will do it again.
Prayers for the Batman Massacre victims and their families, and hopes that the killer, and others who might be involved, are brought to justice.
Registered Sex Offender Gian Verdelli Arrested For 169th Time After Allegedly Groping Woman On PATH Train « CBS New York
In Jersey City, NJ, Gian Verdelli has been arrested for the 169th time for groping a 28 year old woman on a PATH train. His victim provided a cell phone photo of her (alleged) attacker, and said that he had also groped her on June 30.
One wonders if the TSA gropers will be able to impact the incidence of unwanted sexual encounters aboard the public transportation systems. Passengers might trade an unofficial grope for an official one by a trained expert. At 61, Verdelli perhaps should be considered expert.
One also wonders if the law enforcement and judicial systems of New Jersey are aiming for the Biblical standard of forgiveness. With the 169 arrests, they were well on their way to 70 x 7, and certainly to the actual standard: until the very end.
Here’s the Speech that the Obama Campaign is Regretting
Obama has steadily attacked small businesses and entrepreneurs during his presidency, both verbally and with his policies. His latest verbal attack has caught the attention of the alternative media and the Romney campaign, which will fully CAPITALIZE on the opportunity.
ReCycling!! – Environmentalism Gone Sicko
Autopsy: Baby Found Dead On Recycling Conveyor Belt Was Likely Born Alive « CBS Chicago.
Is it a coincidence that the above story occurred in Winnebago County, Illinois, former home of the nasty Rockford abortion clinic , recently closed for health violations, and the subsequent firebombing of a prolife church bus??
An autopsy shows that the baby found on a recycling facility’s conveyor belt was likely born alive, at full term.
Possibly his mom was in an extreme state of mental disarray, or was addicted to drugs. Perhaps she had a heart for composting and environmental activism.
Who knows why a newborn baby’s body was placed on the conveyer belt at the Total Waste Recycling Center six days ago on Friday? The baby has been named Noah, and a search is on in Winnebago County to determine who the mother was.
FDA Approves Use of Antiretroviral, Truvada, for HIV Prevention
US FDA approves first drug shown to reduce risk of HIV infection | Society | guardian.co.uk.
What happens with the anti-infectives which are used for PREVENTION, instead of treating infections?
Resistance abounds.
The FDA has approved the use of Truvada, an antiretroviral agent with two ingredients, emtricitabine (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor) and tenofovir, (nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor). This is now recommended for use in a non-infected partner who decides to have sexual contact with an HIV infected partner. The protection rate in the most favorable African study is 75%. Other studies done in the U.S. show results which are not nearly that good. Participants in the Truvada HIV prevention studies were encouraged to also use condoms.
Hope that extra special sex is worth $14,000 per year in the U.S., the still present risk of HIV, the risk of kidney damage, as well as the risk of making HIV strains more resistant to two more drugs, and the combo cocktails which contain them.
Pharmer chalks this FDA decision up with the scores of other irrational choices to misuse drugs without consideration of the present and long term drawbacks.
Female Attendance Down at TAM, the Annual Atheists Meeting
Religion News Service | Culture | Gender & Sexuality | Do atheists have a sexual harassment problem?.
There is conjecture about the reasons for a relative reduction in female attendance at the annual TAM gathering of skeptics. This year, women only comprise 31 percent of the 1200 attendees, compared to 40 percent at last years meeting. Reasons given range from the declining economy to typically female duties as caregivers. Men outnumber females in the Atheist or skeptic category, but it appears that the disparity might be increasing.
Another possible reason for the reduced attendance, judging from the gossip at online forums and blogs are reports of sexual harassmen, sexism and unwanted touching at the meetings. This has led to the institution of sexual harassment policies in various skeptic associations, and pressure on the TAM leadership to do the same. TAM has hired an outside consultant to address matters of sexual harassment.
After Obama Busts Stericycle, Who Will Empty Abortion Clinic Dumpsters?
A major Pro-life News Media Clearinghouse, Lifenews.com explains the Obama strategy to tie Romney to Stericycle, a company which disposes of medical waste, and carries away aborted humans from Planned Parenthood facilities. Stericycle services all sorts of health care institutions in addition to abortion clinics. They’ll dump anything.
It appears that Romney left Bain Capital before the controversial association with Stericycle’s abortion dumpstering, and Bain itself has subsequently dumped Stericycle.
Obama’s expose of Stericycle’s abortion association is likely to hurt that company far more than it hurts Romney. Who will take out Planned Parenthood’s “trash” now? Perhaps the Obama campaign should have thought of Planned Parenthood’s medical waste compliance issues before it decided to Bust Stericycle by driving off the legitimate portions of its business.
