Judge Orders Release Of Sexually Violent Predator
http://www.10news.com/news/5581369/detail.html ^

SAN DIEGO -- A sexually violent predator with a 20-year history of assaulting male hitchhikers can be released from a mental hospital into the community as long as a treatment plan is in place, a judge ruled Tuesday.

Douglas Badger, 63, shook hands with his attorney, Richard Gates, as Superior Court Judge David Gill made his ruling.

The judge scheduled a Jan. 27 status hearing to start a process for placing Badger back into San Diego County, where he can be supervised in an outpatient setting.

No such plan currently exists, according to court testimony.

Assemblyman Juan Vargas, D-Chula Vista, sat through the three-week civil trial and called the judge's decision "outrageous."

"That guy's a danger, everybody knows it," Vargas said of Badger. "I think you're going to find that this guy's going to come out, when they let him out, he's going to be a model guy for about six months, and after that you're going to find some kid dead, raped, somewhere in the countryside of San Diego County."

This marks the second time Badger has been ordered released into the community.

In July, a different judge rescinded the order when it was learned that one of Badger's psychologists had an affair with another sexually violent predator.

Homosexual Agenda Ping.

This fiend should be removed from mother earth. Released to the community? Out patient? Treatment? He needs the treatment of having his body removed.

Freepmail me and DirtyHarryY2K if you want on/off this pinglist.

Note: Nowhere did the article state that this fiend is homosexual or "gay". But he went after male hitch hikers, apparently young ones. Men. Boys. Also notably absent were the sexes of the psychologist and violent sex offender who had an "affair". Men? Women? A man and a woman?

Just curious.

from KESQ.com:

Douglas Badger testified that he picked up 450 to 500 hitchhikers between 1964 and 1974.

that's a lot of people. Someone may be waiting on his release

He's 63.

Sooner or later he's going to get quite a surprise from an intended "victim."

A friend of mine was locked up once when 16 with a guy who tried to rape him. My friend broke the guy's arm. They took the guy out, patched him up, and put him back in with my friend. The guy tried it again, and my friend broke the guy's other arm. This time they gave him his own cell.

---Another bleeding heart judge who doesn't give a s**t about the citizens and loves the criminals.

I'll chip in some money to help rent a place in the judges neighborhood for this nutcase -- maybe a group home for violent sexual predators? No reason to just give one of 'em a great address. How about four or five of them - some who go after the first graders, some who go after the two year olds. Some who go after teenage boys? Why shouldn't the judge inflict his neighbor's with his "judgement" rather than just the usual working class families?

APA Research?

... can be released from a mental hospital into the community as long as a treatment plan is in place...the test case in NJ for putting a once violent mental patient back into the community with treatment plan in place eventuated in the man hanging himself within a few months - maybe it'll happen in this case too.....

I'd say this is unbelievable, but I know a couple of psychologists. They are no doubt some of the most f***** up people I have ever met.

We need to remember the name David Gill when he's up for reelection. I've been following the Badger situation for the better part of this year and this ruling is a fine example of judicial hubris.

I'll add Gill to my "vote the bum out" memory bank with Pat Cowett for ignoring the voters who more than met her last minute super-majority high bar for saving the Mt. Soledad War Memorial. She was just reelected in November 2004 which is probably why she felt safe thumbing her nose at the voters.

Juan Vargas is widely considered to have his eye on (Democratic Socialists of America member) Congressman Bob Filner's seat.

Judge Charles Gill was last elected in 2002 when he ran unopposed! (Office 7)

Anyone want to run against him?
