PETA, Preditors Eating Tasty Prisoners

<"Ummmm! Tastes Like Christian...but gamier")

[mewzilla]

I heard that Rodriquez was out on parole? Some parole board let this guy out?!

[Thinkin' Gal]

After returning to Crookston in May to live with his mother, Rodriguez has been registered as a Level 3 sex offender, the most risky and predatory of three categories in Minnesota.

What moron sociologists come up with rating systems for violent degenerate pervert sickos? There should be only one type: post conviction dead ones.

[LisaMalia]

You'll all be happy to hear that this MONSTER is resting comfortably in his holding cell. Not housed with the other prisoners, mind you...oh no. His defense attorney requested a private cell for his client's safety. His prison guard (in a phone interview aired on Greta's show last night) reported that he (Rodriguez) had requested books from the library, and spent the day reading.
Nothing but the best for THIS EVIL, PATHETIC animal. Isn't our justice system wonderful?

[Catspaw]

No, he wasn't on parole. He had served his maximum sentence. However, he wasn't deemed bad enough to have a hearing about whether he should be committed to a mental hospital as a sex offender.

However, he wasn't deemed bad enough to have a hearing about whether he should be committed to a mental hospital as a sex offender.

Who got to make that decision?

[ZULU]

I think we should them turn him over to our Egyptian or Turkish friends for questioning.

I'm sure they would be able to extract whatever information he contains with no problem, and without the government violating the Constitution.

Call it "privatization of interrogation".

[ZULU]

We have all watched with anger and repugnance at apparently ONE MORE case of another victim falling prey to a repeat sexual predator.

Dru Sjodin, a young, beautiful, loving woman with a loving family and an full life ahead of her, has apparently fallen victim to Carlos Rodriguez, an individual with a long record as a sexual predator, an individual who refused "treatment" for his obsession while incarcerated, an individual who was, ONCE AGAIN, approved for release by YET ANOTHER psychiatrist who should have know better.

My prayers and sympathy go out to the family and friends of Ms. Sjodin, and I hope and pray by some miracle she is still alive and the Father of us all is protecting her.

While this heart-wrenching tragedy is unfolding in the upper mid-west, one of far too many instances of this kind, what, pray tell are our elected Congresspersons up to??????

Well, they passed a law requiring a special license to transport tigers, lions and big cats across state lines.

Thats right. They took the time to pass a law requiring a federal permit to move a lion or tiger, etc. across a state line. And why, pray tell? Becuase one idiot in New York was keeping a tiger and a crocodile in his apartment.

My point is not to argue the merit of a special permit to transport tigers. My argument is time, perspecitve and efficiency. How many Americans have been killed by tigers or lions or crocodiles in the past few centuries, aside from those actually handling them?? I can't recall ONE.

How many Americans, like Dru Sjodin, have fallen victims to violent sexual predators or paedophiles?? Countless numbers.

So what interests our overpaid, over-benefitted, practically-tenured Congressmen?? Tigers and crocodiles.

If you don't want to address a complicated, serious problem, generate a non-existant one and then provide a solution. It looks good in the papers. There is more croc in Congress than croc moving across state lines.

Sexual predators and paedophiles, people who have served notice on society that they are below a ravvenous beast on the scale of rationality, should NEVER get a second chance to re-enact their crimes. They should be locked up for life. It should be a FEDERAL CRIME to commit an act of sexual predation on another human being, using the same assumption that applies in cases of simple kidnapping - that the felon may very well cross state lines. And the penalty should be death or life in prison without parole.

Congress should start dealing with real issues, and leave tigers, lions, corcodiles and law-abiding gun owners ALONE.

[VadeRetro]

I doubt any state involved up there (MN or ND) has the death penalty. Can I hope that somehow some Mondale-country federal prosecutor will go after this guy on a federal kidnap-murder statute? Somehow some Mondale-country jury will do the right thing, even if as now there's still no body? No Mondale-country appeals court will throw it all out?

I fear there will be no justice on this one.

[ZULU]

I have totally lost confidence in the American system of
"justice".

Our courts are run by politically appointed hacks with law degrees, and our legal procedings progress according to the complexities of a parlour game. Guilt ot innocence of the accused and the rights of the victim take second place to the profits of the legal "profession", who, monoplozing our legislatures and judiciary, actually concot these rules of evidence.

[BlessedBeGod]

Fry him.

[Catspaw]

If my memory serves me correctly, the Minnesota Dept. of Corrections.

[mewzilla]

Those idiots ought to be out in the cold, freezing their butts off looking for her.

[Ispy4u]

This pretty much blows my previous hypothesis away.

Good, now if they just find Dru alive everything will be perfect.

[spectre]

We've all been around the campus with this type of crime on the forum..

Assuming they have POSITIVE DNA of hers, and other factors, it appears he did this awful thing.

They need to find the body. If they don't, he is in the drivers seat and could force a plea bargain for ""life"" in prison if he tells them where her remains are located.

Housing him with the general prison population will be a swifter death sentence than a formal execution, which will be stalled for years. Either way, he is a dead man walking, but would be safer on death row.

Fox reporting they have found Dru's SHOE near the Red River. That's all I know.

[maggief]

Fox ... they found one of Dru's shoes near the Red River ... under a bridge.

[invoman]

Yep, heard that this morning.They found the shoe several days ago. It appears he was dumping evidence at random-spreading it out.

[invoman]

.....near the Red River ... under a bridge...

Fox is incorrect- it's the Red LAKE River.
