Good point -- shoot him first, then hold the trial.

Is that just for a conviction, or would you also support it if he was acquitted?

No, I think we should execute an innocent man just for the fun of it.

He is gay after all!!!

/ heavy sarcasm

Summary execution right after the trial would be justified.

Why AFTER the trial??

The press release we might expect to read if CAIR's PR firm became involved in this case:
"This regrettable situation has nothing at all to do with the fact that Yow is a homosexual. Rather, this appears to be a tragic case of an older person using his power over a younger person in an irresponsible and perhaps illegal way. If he did anything wrong, Yow should be punished, of course, but let's not make the mistake of attributing any part of his possible blame to the fact that he's gay or HIV positive. And let's not forget the years of good work done by Yow on behalf of [what's left of - ed.] the gay community."

The guy is just boosting his credential list for the AIDS lecture circuit. Only hateful Republican homophobes would deny him that. Diversity and open mindedness are our strengths, after all. Barf.

US Supreme Court Justice Ginsberg's agenda:

[ACLU biggie & NAMBLA "advocate" before SCOTUS]

-- Lower the "age of consent to 12 in the USA!"




Ginsberg's Senate Confirmation Hearings:

-- "I cannot answer anything that may come before SCOTUS!"

This is how fags reproduce. Is anyone really surprised? It is also a lot of the reason about the hue and cry regarding theaters not showing Brokebutt. Fewer susceptible youths will see it, and therefore fewer will be interested in the lifestyle.

Good points.
I'll never understand how she was nominated,
much less confirmed.

It would depend on WHY he was acquitted....

Iranian justice would be more appropriate for him.

If an NRA member was ever arrested for shooting someone it would be on the front page. This will hardly earn a blip.




You're 100% correct. I hadn't heard ANYTHING about this anywhere (even on FOX) until I saw this thread.

And there's that middle name again.

Why wasn't he charged with attempted murder (or murder if the boy tests HIV-positive)?

Apparently, the DA was briefed on that. I would think that's just another charge tossed on the pile. Check it out - the perp changed his name after getting convicted the first time...

AIDS activist has criminal history
By: Kadi Hodges
Times-News

An AIDS activist facing child molestation charges served a year in prison on a 1990 conviction for taking indecent liberties with a child.

His prison records were listed under a different name than the one he uses now.

On Monday, Ricky Odell Yow, 42, of Altamahaw Racetrack Road, Elon, was charged with five counts of taking indecent liberties with a child, three counts each of a first-degree sex offense with a child, using a minor to assist in an obscenity, first-degree sexual exploitation of a minor, crimes against nature, and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

Yow’s partner, Douglas Wayne Murphy, 43, of the same address, is facing the same charges.

Both were held under bonds of $1.5 million.

The alleged victim is a 13-year-old boy, and the charges stem from incidents that happened over several weeks in 2005.

County records show that in 1998, Ricky Odell Duncan changed his name to Ricky Odell Yow.

Department of Correction spokesman Keith Acree confirmed that Yow, under the name Ricky Duncan, was convicted of taking indecent liberties with a child in July 1990, in Randolph County. His maximum sentence was for three years, but he served 355 days.

Investigators were unaware of the previous charges and former identity until informed by the Times-News on Thursday.

The Times-News has featured Yow and his work with AIDS activism in several articles using both of his names.

Yow was diagnosed with HIV in 1989. He developed full-blown AIDS in 1995, but has managed the disease with medication.

Yow has been an energetic volunteer with AIDS patients and speaking to groups about his experience living with the disease.

In 2004, Murphy, Yow’s partner, signed documents to incorporate the Global Wheel of Hope nonprofit organization that Yow founded. Its mission is to provide HIV/AIDS education. The organization hosts a monthly HIV/AIDS support group. Yow has spoken with students in Alamance and Caswell schools and at Elon University.

Yow was a Times-News Volunteer of the Week in 1999. He was cited for driving AIDS patients to doctor appointments and working as a counselor for the Alamance CARES organization.

He was nominated for the 2 Those Who Care award by WFMY News 2, but he did not win the award.

Last summer’s Burlington-Alamance International Cultural Festival was dedicated to Yow. Festival organizer Ron Torain was quoted in August saying, "Every year, we dedicate the festival to those unsung heroes. The ones who give their lives to help others. That’s what Ricky Yow does every day."

Yow, who is reportedly in poor health, was moved to Central Prison in Raleigh under a safe-keeping order. Those orders are typically issued for medical or safety reasons.

Sheriff ’s Department spokesman Randy Jones said that if the alleged victim had been exposed to HIV, the district attorney would consider additional charges. He said deputies are "not done" with the investigation.

Pervert lawyers and journalists who want a concensus including them have to use PC euphemism to describe the horrible. They don't want to be held accountable for the forbidden, so sick they are, thus they make the forbidden the mandate, making the good the forbidden, and this is because they are moral cowards, vicious sanctimonious pervs who can pat each other on the back for being "radical" and doing the "forbidden thing", which they only do because Islamo-Marxist terrorists are behind them backing the Trotzkists up.

These hypocrites are beyond the sin of Adam and Eve and beyond any ability to repent about anything and being responsible about anything, so greedy ans secuularly puritan and kosher they are. This lack of preemptive irresponsibility and hate is not reactionarian anger, but deep seated satanoid proactive anger, and irresponsibility for others is the depth of bottom line racism and bigotry.

Listen to Hilary calling the WhiteHouse a plantation, it is oh so cliché to patronize and insult black people openly that way, she thinks she's a star when she is the epitomy of incoherence and bottom line twisted fubar nothing.

Beware AIDS education
Posted: January 11, 2006


World Net Daily

snip



The crimes took place last year, but just 30 days ago, Yow was telling a local reporter how he shows children as young as 12 photos of his brother, who died of AIDS, and shares his own story.



http://tinyurl.com/9aou2



Yow was first asked to speak in public schools by Crystal Taylor, then executive director of Alamance Cares, another AIDS "service organization."


snip


Yow's program is in part funded by Americorps VISTA, a phony, fraudulent federal agency that pays "volunteers" like Yow to do good deeds with tax money extracted from you by force.

He hands out condoms and tells little kids it's OK to have sex with AIDS victims – presumably including him.
