Convicting Crime: Rape Of A Child

BELLINGHAM, Wash. - A man turned himself in to authorities in the killing of two convicted child rapists, saying he picked the victims from a sheriff's Web site, police said.
Michael Anthony Mullen, 36, called 911 on Monday to claim responsibility for the killings, and officers who talked to him said he gave information that only the killer would know, according to a police news release. He was jailed for investigation of two counts of first-degree murder.
Hank Eisses, 49, and Victor Vasquez, 68, were found shot to death at their apartment Aug. 27. They were both classified as Level III sex offenders, considered the type most likely to reoffend. Sex offenders in Washington are required to register with local authorities, and the information is provided on the Web.
Mullen told authorities he targeted at least one of the two men after checking the county sheriff's Web site July 13, according to the police statement.
The bodies of Eisses and Vasquez were found by a roommate, also a sex offender. He said a man wearing a blue jumpsuit and a cap that said FBI on it came to their home, told them he was an FBI agent and said one of them was on a "hit list" on an Internet site, police said.
The roommate said he left while the "FBI" visitor was still there and found the bodies when he returned about four hours later.
Days after the killings, The Bellingham Herald received an unsigned letter claiming responsibility for the killings. Police notified convicted Level 3 sex offenders in the area as a precaution, but said the letter was vague and could be a hoax.
What Washington State should do.
1. Fine him 50.00.
2. Tell him not to do it again.
3. Move on.
hmmmmm.... what to think...
This is bad because now Washington State will most likely remove that info from the site. We all know this is a very good possibility.
EXACTLY!
Can I serve on his jury?
No desert for a week.
Fair's fair, after all.
too bad its Wash state the HERO doesnt have a prayer there. But in 'my country' he would be hailed a hero and given a TOP POST in my cabinet...lol
Just like what the penalty would be for pedophiles. Nothing!! This man should be given a medal!
How much is his bail set at?
I would love to pay it.
No. Nail him for premeditated murder in the 1st degree.
A big "Thank You!" to this fine man. Congratulations for a job well done.
Good, now I know where to send a medal.
There goes Megan's law.
Exactly what I said. People are too busy patting this guy on the back. I'd rather have them alive and known then two dead and the info gone.
I condemn the anarchy of New Orleans.
I understand the anarchy of frustration in Washington State.
Murder is murder, no matter how evil the victims are.
As long as he didn't put underwear on their heads, I say a heavy fine and community serve...
