This is one sad sick depraved bastard. Any decent society would burn him att he stake...

Did you notice the picture in the article? The guy is wearing body armor! I'm sure they didn't want someone getting the chance to shoot him on his way into court.

Interesting that none of the stories mentions his political affiliation. Anyone know?

What strikes me as unthinkable is not so much that he is sick, but that he would leave traces of his depravity in cyberspace. I am about as straight as they come, but in my last job I went four years without sending or reading Email, in house or outside. Now, most of my work was “dumb terminal” type stuff, but it is stupid to say anything compromising that can be printed out, sent to a screen, or placed on a tape. Oh, and please no restless leg syndrome in a bathroom stall....
