Topic: Child Molestation
Summary: Several recent child molestation cases point to the need to protect our kids from homosexuals.
On February 13, 2003, a former Wisconsin Boy Scout leader was convicted of 20 counts of child sexual abuse and sentenced to 65 years in jail.
The judge said he wanted Gary Radloff to die behind bars for his crimes against children. Judge Patrick Haughney told Radloff: "Absent a serial killer, this case doesn't get any more serious because what we have here is a serial child molester. Mr. Radloff is evil. Mr Raloff is vile. He is a child molester who ran a house of evil. I intend this to be a life sentence."
Radloff had been convicted of child molestation in Illinois in the 1980s as a Boy Scout leader, but served only two years. He moved to Wisconsin and was charged last year with molesting three boys in his Scout troop.
In Visalia, California, a police officer and two other men (one who is HIV positive) have been arrested for molesting a 16-year-old boy they met in an American Online chat room called "Fresno Male for Males." The boy became concerned about being infected with AIDS after learning that one of his molesters, Aaron Rodriguez was HIV positive. After telling his mother, she contacted the police. The investigation of Rodriguez led detectives to the arrest of police officer Bryan Pinto and Justin Helt.
These homosexual molesters face up to five years in prison if convicted.
In Long Grove, Illinois, a prominent businessman was sentenced to six years in jail and ordered to pay $15 million to two boys he molested between 1995 and 1998.
Homosexual child molester Walter Metcalf was senior vice president at the Cole Taylor Bank in Wheeling, Il., and owned a pet supply store in Long Grove.
A male Milwaukee public school teacher has been arrested for dressing like a woman and trying to sexually molest a 15-year-old boy. James Simmons was charged with one count of child enticement and one count of second-degree sexual assault of a child.
Simmons told the boy that he was a transsexual and offered to pay him money to have oral sex with him.
After he made bail, he returned to teach in his elementary school classroom at Keefe Avenue Elementary School. School officials refused to tell reporters if Simmons would be removed from his teaching position.
Simmons has a police record of prostitution-related loitering and prowling in Milwaukee.
I think the only stalemate we have here is the person you sleep with.

I've seen plenty of stickers on cars that are heterosexual in nature. I'm very surprised you haven't. I don't consider stickers on cars as "shoving" anything into my face, so long as they are not obscene. Shall we outlaw stickers on cars? Is this your position?
"You're gay. Fine! Why not shut-up about it?
I didn't post this article. It's something that people talk about... look at you, talking about it right now. You actually came to this thread to talk about homosexuality.
"Besides, what gives you the right to co-op the colors of the rainbow? "
Is this really an issue? Anyway... rainbows can mean whatever you want. An artist chose rainbow for some banners or something at a pride march to symbolize diversity, it caught on. It is not preventing you from using rainbows elsewhere.
Oh... flashback to 6th grade. I thought we'd at least be civil.
No need to get huffy. You never put up any kind of reasoned argument, so I'm not sure what you think I'm supposed to realize.
So.. you don't think that should have made the news? And you think homosexuals are the ones who decide what news is aired?
When you and I apply for the same job, do you think it would be appropriate to say, "Oh, by the way, I'm a homosexual?"
If I were to put a rainbow sticker on my car it would have to say, "I'm not a homosexual, I just like rainbows."
Is this really an issue? Yes, you made it one.
Name 'em!
A physical impossibility. It should give you pause to reflect on your own thinking in this matter. You can spell, you can add, you can think and speak.
How did it come to pass that a seemingly intelligent person like yourself could formulate, type and post a succinct statement that is so blatantly self-refuting without recognizing the obvious?
Could your perspective on this matter be corrupt?
Basically, children are molested when there is OPPORTUNITY.
True of everything. Specious when presented as specific to molestation.
Freeping only takes place when there is opportunity. Married couples only have sex when there is opportunity. People only get rich when there is opportunity. Rapes, murders, robberies, lunches, housework, oil change, billing. Everything people do is done when there is opportunity.
Maybe if we keep homosexuals away from children, there will be no opportunity for a public "misunderstanding" of their behavior.
I didn't say you did. You came on to talk about homosexuality.
"Why were you so quick to answer the question at the beginning of the thread? You had the right to say you are a homosexual, but why didn't you say, "none of your business?""
Why would I deny it? Heterosexuality is declared constantly. You just don't notice. It came up, and I answered. It wasn't obscene, so what is the problem?
"When you and I apply for the same job, do you think it would be appropriate to say, "Oh, by the way, I'm a homosexual?""
No. Not at all. It's inappropriate to bring it up in a job interview. It would also be inappropriate to say "By the way, I'm a heterosexual." If you don't agree, try saying it during one.
"If I were to put a rainbow sticker on my car it would have to say, "I'm not a homosexual, I just like rainbows."
Well.. if you really WANT a rainbow sticker on your car, go ahead. I have to warn you, it DOES attract vandalism.
me: Is this really an issue? you: Yes, you made it one.
I didn't, personally.
Do you ever want to run up to cars with the fish stickers or Darwin stickers and tell them to stop shoving their religion/science down your throat and stealing fish as an icon? Because I don't.
I can't believe you've never seen some.
I think it was "basically a vehicle for [homosexual] propaganda masquerading as concern for ['hate crime'] victims. Nice example of using tragedy for political gain."
Why? Why did you feel it appropriate to do it here? I've been around here a while and can't remember ever seeing someone with a need to express their sexual preference.
You came on to talk about homosexuality.
You're a mind-reader too. Wrong, but a mind-reader just the same.

What does all of that have to do with heterosexuality?
I won't go into this on the forum, but I can explain this very easily in mail if you would like. Again... homosexuals engage in NO ACTS that heterosexuals do not ALSO engage in.. the only difference being that their partner is of same gender.
"How did it come to pass that a seemingly intelligent person like yourself could formulate, type and post a succinct statement that is so blatantly self-refuting without recognizing the obvious?"
First of all, thanks for the compliment. ;-) The reason I could post what I did is that it is true.
"Could your perspective on this matter be corrupt?"
I don't think it is, no.
(snipping the "opportunity" bits)
It was NOT specious. Yes of course things take place when there is opportunity.. but you are ignoring my point about the opportunity that priests do NOT have. Priests do NOT have the opportunity to molest girls for the simple reason that most parents wouldn't leave their girls alone with an older male. You would see molestations of girls much more often by priests if they had access. This is why it seems to be a "homosexual" pedophilia problem... not because homosexuals are more likely to be predators, but because priests have altar boys and not altar girls.
"Maybe if we keep homosexuals away from children, there will be no opportunity for a public "misunderstanding" of their behavior."
That's one way of guaranteeing your children will not be molested by homosexuals. Keeping them away from heterosexuals will guarantee they not be molested by them, either. Statistically, you've got a much greater chance of running into the "heterosexual" variety. I suggest constant vigilance when your children are around adults, and eliminating situations in which they are alone with adults.
Thank you for a nice post. Civility has suffered of late. ;-)
JudyB1938, were you surprised when you got a "Yes?"
I don't really care at all about "hate speech", so your comment really doesn't mean much to me there.
"You would have credibility if you were first in line demanding harsh punishment for those who abuse others, but that is not your biggest concern, this "propaganda" causes you more concern. "
If you scroll back, you will notice I WAS. I have no sympathy for child molesters.
"Why has this story not been "HEADLINE" news across the nation? "
It may make news in the locales in which these crimes have occurred, but I don't know for sure. Beyond that, there are too many cases of child molestations going on to make a national issue of each one, unfortunately.
"We won't be intimidated with the "HATE SPEECH" threat."
Please don't take this the wrong way, because I mean it sincerely: Good for you. However, I never made a "hate speech threat", so it doesn't apply in this situation.
Also, for the record, just what "method of operations of perverted people" have you seen? Also, what makes you think such operations would apply to all gay people, including me?
I was asked, and it related to the topic at hand. Think of it as a solicited "full disclosure"... irrelevant to logic, but possibly relevant to readers' opinions of my posts. Also.. you've never seen people talk about being married? It definitely implies sexual preference.
"You're a mind-reader too. Wrong, but a mind-reader just the same."
Well, when I'm wrong I'm wrong. Sorry.. I assumed that's why you came on for because that is all you've talked about. I shouldn't have assumed.
" What does all of that have to do with heterosexuality?"
It doesn't. It's taking your argument and running with it to its logical conclusion.
