Pedophile tries to kidnap a child but gets beaten to a pulp instead

Jesse Brisbin, a 30-year-old twice-convicted sex offender allegedly attempted to abduct a six-year-old girl from a Seattle park on Thursday evening, but he picked the wrong park to act on his compulsion. According to witnesses, he made it about three blocks with the girl after grabbing her by the hand and wrapping his shirt around her face before a group of about 20 neighborhood children and adults caught up with him.

According to the Seattle Police Department, the six-year-old girl broke free and Brisbin tried to run away. The men tackled Brisbin, who lives only about a half-mile from Benefit Park. The girl’s father then made the man call 911 on his own cell phone, reporting himself to police. When the cops got there, they found three men, including the girl’s father, delivering a beating to the fallen Brisbin.

As one witness reported, Brisbin assaulted one of the men who caught up to him as he tried to get away, which sparked their attack on him.

The six-year-old child was playing in the park with her siblings when Brisbin allegedly approached her and asked him to come wither her. She recognized Brisbin from the neighborhood and from a time when he had attempted to purchase a household appliance from her parents. But she refused to go with him.

“The scariest part was I didn’t want to go with the man with the red and black bag,” the girl told KIRO TV News, “and he took me all the way down the hill.”

Who knows what would have happened to the girl had the concerned neighbors failed to chase down the suspect and administer a dose of instant karma?

“When he got her he took his shirt off and tied it over her face and her ears and told her that he was going to take the poison out of her,” said the girl’s mom, Vernee Fletcher, through tears.

Fletcher got her daughter back soon after the incident, and she believes she might never have seen her child again, if not for the prompt reaction of her neighbors. “It felt like my skin melted into hers, the harder I hugged her.”

Brisbin was wearing an ankle bracelet at the time of the attempted kidnapping, stemming from a 2009 conviction for exposing himself to two children in Bellvue, Washington. He was also convicted of kidnapping, criminal sexual contact and child endangerment in New Jersey 10 years before that. In that case, he was also disciplined for attempting to cut off his required ankle bracelet.

“We’re kind of wondering how was someone like this is roaming around in our neighborhood,” said Fletcher, who also believes that the close sense of community in the Seattle neighborhood around Benefit Park is what ultimately saved her daughter from an unthinkable fate.

Too dawned bad

Most libertarians are conservatives in the most righteous sense. But hey, let's paint them all as cartoonishly perverted dullards.

Hillary says Republicans want to starve children.

Impressively influential.

>> Most libertarians are conservatives in the most righteous sense.

Unfortunately, that’s not the case afaic. I’m under the impression that most support “the right to choose”, and law mandating the support of various homosexual behavior. Maybe a quarter to a third are conservative, but certainly not most.

Regarding predators, I’m confident an anarchical society would exterminate them summarily. So, I think the sympathy/empathy for predators is probably more of a liberal thing.

I don’t know or really care about his political leanings.

But I’ve got a pretty good guess of the politics of the NJ and WA judges who gave him short sentences, freed him repeatedly—and put him in an ankle bracelet after a prior escape thereof.

The point I was trying to make with "Somehow I kind of doubt that he was a conservative/Tea Party kind of guy. Bet he has an Obama sticker on his car." is that it is not conservatives and tea party folks who are filling up prisons for violent crimes such as adult and child rape, murder, armed robbery gun crimes, as well as non violent crime like welfare, disability and voter fraud.

For example, if you want to stop gun crimes, disarm Obama/Hillary/Pelosi/Reid voters, i.e., progressives and their fellow travellers.

As for child molesters, if all they're getting by liberal judges is house arrest, then it should be house arrest in the homes of liberal judges that turn these monsters lose.

Do convicts under supervision when released get their voting rights restored in Seattle?

Heck even dead people and illegal aliens vote multiple times. Why should he be disenfranchised from voting just because he's in prison. Felons are a key constituency for democrats.

Welcome to the OBAMA-NATION, comrade!

If this were England, the perv would be free and the three men defending the girl would be looking at 20 years each.

Here's my solution for dishing out justice in England:

As for child molesters, if all they're getting from liberal "British" judges is house arrest, then it should be house arrest in the homes of these same liberal judges that turn these monsters lose. That would be justice served.

There is a difference between spurious allegations drawn from thin air, and a party being held accountable for goals clearly spelled out in its published platform statement.
