The Amber Alert originated in Texas. It is named after a girl kidnapped and murdered in Arlington TX. I've been out of the state for 10 yrs so I don't have full history on the case.

I can verify that Amber Alerts were
invented in Texas. A child named Amber
wasn't found fast enough to be saved,
so LE & the Media began this system.
AND I can attest that a ranch outside
of Ft. Stockton, TX is in a very vast
rural area, totally opposite of where
"Amber Alerts" started--in a sprawling
urban Metroplex of millions! Agreed--
something smells here & he must have
been killed right off, then later on
placed in the car trunk. Horrible!

I know it sounds brutal...

Not really.
What we have today is brutal. Allowing the brutalization of innocent children, and ever allowing perpetrators roam the streets again after committing such heinous deeds, is brutal.

Capital punishment is/was intended to be a deterrant to crime...

Yeah.
It guarantees that the perpetrator will never commit another one.

(Although, I have some feeling that maybe death SHOULD BE the same manner in which they took a life/lives)

Only problem with this is that some perverts would actually enjoy dying while being raped and brutalized.

[viaveritasvita]

The only thing I would add is that we have been programmed to feel sorry for reprobates and perverts; our sympathies have been redirected from the victim to the perp. We have sympathy for the devil. It's sickening in the extreme.

There are not many things we can claim good about places like Iran but I read one recently. In Iran a man convicted of raping and killing a niece was THE NEXT DAY placed into a cloth sack and thrown off a cliff outside of town. The execution order further required that if he survived the cliff he was to be removed from the bag and hanged. Now that is deterrence in action.

I recall reading that the number of abductions like the ones that have been on the news lately are actually declining from past years. It's a slow news period so this stuff makes the headlines. Or am I off-base here???

[NerdDad]

I just sent an email to the MS governor urging him to enact the AMBER plan by executive order. It is disgraceful that there are any states not participating in some way. I certainly don't want MS to be last again.

See goody2shooz reply #16. Based on that, you may be correct. Personally I am pleased to see more of this making national headlines. Maybe, just maybe, more attention will heighten people's alertness a bit and prod pols to action. As sad and angering as news about abductions and murders may be, at least it is real news that we can do something about--either with our voices or guns--unlike the tripe we are being fed about this scandal or that.

#18 I think I know why....at least why we are hearing more of the stories...

they want us to implant the chips in our kids.

Remember they started with the pets and now are moving up.

Soon they will want them in us all. Very SCARY

Bump for Update.

Excerpts:
“We’re waiting to find out the cause of death before we do anything else,” Harris said. He said Fain was found in a white 1982 Volkswagen two-door hatchback. The vehicle was towed Friday to a secure location."
"Harris said he is expecting results of an autopsy today to confirm or rule out foul play. The autopsy is being conducted in Austin by the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office."
"Volunteers mounted a three-day search for the child, combing about a 10-square-mile area. Harris said searchers looked into the car but evidently did not open the hatchback."
My Comments:
Yeah, right. Prison guards and dogs trained to search for escapees would fail to open the hatchback of a vehicle they are searching for a child. The smell just keeps getting worse in this case. My personal contact took a couple days to disconnect and hug her kids after this. I don't expect to hear from her till Tuesday. She knows the guards who searched the car and then leaned against it while discussing their next move. She (and they) will twist themselves into a light fixture when they read this.

It doesn't seem very likely that they would NOT have searched the vehicles......."we talk funny, but we're not idiots".........

From your link, NerdDad:

"Harris said he is expecting results of an autopsy today to confirm or rule out foul play. The autopsy is being conducted in Austin by the Bexar County Medical Examiner’s Office.
“We’re waiting to find out the cause of death before we do anything else,” Harris said.
He said Fain was found in a white 1982 Volkswagen two-door hatchback. The vehicle was towed Friday to a secure location.
However, Harris said early indications suggest Fain might have trapped himself in the hatchback.[bold mine]
Harris said the car temperature would have been in the 100s in Monday’s 96-degree weather. He said that temperature would have been hot enough to kill the boy before search efforts began."

Tragic, but possible, I suppose.
The question then becomes how a search team, including the dogs, could have completely overlooked the hatchback??!!
My God, is everyone out there, including the dogs, retarded??!
Sheeeeeesh!!

"......."we talk funny, but we're not idiots"........."

Our dogs bark funny, too, but they're not idiots!

I am sick of all the evil, too. It is piling up everywhere, unimaginable, aggressive evil against many of God's creatures.
