OK, drugs are bad for you … more proof

Namely, methamphetamine.  Ask Robert Edwards De Shields, and his landlords’ pet chihuahua puppy.

In March the owners found the dog almost lifeless, in pain and in shock, with De Shields in the garage.  A veterinarian later found traces of asphyxiation, as well as serious injuries to the animal’s rectum and internal organs.

We can all figure out what he did to the dog.  No doubt it involved him getting dog shit on his dick.

The chihuahua was only able to survive thanks to intensive medical care.

De Shields was high on methamphetamine at the time.  He is a long term drug abuser and criminal. In the last 19 to 20 years, he has only been free from jail or monitoring by the authorities for about five months.

He got 10 years jail for rooting the dog.  In an unusual move for an animal cruelty case, De Shields was also required to register as a lifetime sex offender, meaning he will have to wear an electronic surveillance device and keep a distance from schools and other places where children gather.

A chihuahua, really?

Mind you, a cute little puppy was probably an upgrade for De Shields.

Dog Rooter

I doubt he was likely to get an actual (living) human to ever shag him. 

And this is what we’re fighting for?

Thirty two Australian soldiers have died in Afghanistan, and thousands of others from the US and numerous other countries.  Some of these at least have been the victims of treachery by those they were there to help, by training and mentoring them.

Is it worth it?

You have to wonder when things like this continue to happen there.

A woman has been in jail for 2 years, having been imprisoned for adultery after having been raped by a relative at her home.  She had a child by her attacker, and was raising it in her prison cell.  And this wasn’t happening in some backwater far flung corner of the country – it was in the capital, Kabul.

Her case came to light when Afghan president Hamid Karzai intervened to have her released after receiving a petition with 5,000 signatures.  Karzai called a meeting where judicial officials decided to pardon her.  But there was a twist in this tail. 

The officials also said that the woman should marry the man who attacked her, due to fears she could be in danger if released because of the stigma surrounding her attack in ultra-conservative Afghanistan.  She agreed to this (no duress at all, right?) but only if her attacker’s (and future husband) sister married her brother.  This was said to be a way to try to ensure she wasn’t attacked by her rapist/attacker/husband.

In another example of how women are treated in this fine example of civilisation, a 17-year-old girl was seriously injured when caustic liquid was sprayed on her face by masked gunmen who broke into her home in the northern city of Kunduz.  Her mother and 4 sisters were also injured after being splashed with acid.  Her father blamed a former militia commander who had proposed marriage to her but was rejected by the family.

"A man asked for her hand. We rejected [him] and our daughter was engaged to someone else. I suspect that man might be behind this,"

he said.

Violence against women in Afghanistan appears to be increasing rather than decreasing, despite billions of dollars of international aid that has poured into the country during the last 10 years. 

About 87 per cent of Afghan women report having experienced physical, sexual or psychological violence or forced marriage, according to figures quoted in an October report by the charity Oxfam.

Last week, the United Nations said that a landmark law aiming to protect women against violence in Afghanistan had been used to prosecute just more than 100 cases since being enacted two years ago.

A wonderful civilisation isn’t it?  And our soldiers are being killed just maintaining the level of barbarism where it is, the argument being it would be much worse otherwise.  Worth it?

Maybe we should just all of those Afghans who want to join the 21st century to leave and go live somewhere else, then build a great big fence around those who want to go back to the 15th century, and let them kill each other off.

Don’t rape

Posted on by

One of Bilal Skaf’s rapist mates has been denied parole and told to address his offending (rapist) behaviour. 

Mohammed Sanoussi, 27, was refused parole today for his part in two gang rapes in Sydney in 2000.  He was originally sentenced to 21 years in jail, later reduced on appeal to 16 years.  He first became eligible for parole last year, and today was his second failed attempt at getting released from jail.

The NSW State Parole Authority recommended that Sanoussi address his offending behaviour and undergo further drug and alcohol counselling. The Serious Offenders Review Council (SORC) supported the decision and recommended that Sanoussi take part in further education programs.

I’m curious to know what education there is to teach someone not to rape people.  “Don’t rape” seems to me to be fairly obvious, and either you get it or you don’t.   If you get it, then you wouldn’t be in jail, and if you don’t get the message, then I’m sure no amount of education would teach the rapist as much as castration and a lobotomy.

Last meal

Posted on by

It seems the tradition of giving condemned prisoners their choice of a last meal before their execution has gone out the window in Texas. 

State senator John Whitmire demanded an end to the practice after learning of the meal request of Lawrence Brewer, who was executed this week.  Brewer asked for two chicken fried steaks, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, fried okra, a pound (450 grams) of barbecue meat, three fajitas, a meat lover’s pizza, a pint of ice-cream and a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts.

"It is extremely inappropriate to give a person sentenced to death such a privilege," Whitmire wrote in a letter to the State Corrections department, which quickly agreed with his views, and determined that the last meal choice by the prisoner would cease immediately.  From now on they are just going to get whatever meal is on offer to the other inmates that day.

So no longer can a prisoner try to cheat the executioner by clogging his arteries.  Others have tried just as hard as Lawrence Brewer. 

Last week, inmate Steven Woods’s request included two pounds (one kilogram) of bacon, a large four-meat pizza, four fried chicken breasts, two drinks each of Mountain Dew, Pepsi, root beer and sweet tea, two pints (one litre) of ice-cream, five chicken fried steaks, two hamburgers with bacon, fries and a dozen garlic bread sticks with marinara on the side.

Another one went for two fried chickens, French fries and a five-gallon (19-litre) bucket of peaches.

No wonder there’s an obesity problem in America!

I wonder if its possible for a prisoner to delay his death by:

  • ordering shitloads of food and eating it very slowly, savouring every bite
  • ordering obscure foreign foods that take ages to find
  • sending the meal back and complaining to the cook that its over or undercooked?

I can understand the sentiment behind stopping the last meal privilege, but it strikes me as petty.

On the subject of executions, that of Troy Davis by the State of Georgia leaves me feeling uncomfortable.  From what I’ve read of the case there seems to be plenty of doubt over the verdict.  I’d have thought the condemned prisoner gets the benefit of any doubt – considering the execution is irreversible.  Hey, but what do I know … much better to pretend the justice system is infallible than admit something may have gone wrong.

Wanted–dead or alive (not really?)

I can’t see why there is all the fuss over whether the US was justified in killing Osama bin Laden as opposed to taking him prisoner.

Had they taken him prisoner, he would have been an ongoing cause celebre for extremists and it is not hard to imagine hostages being taken or other terrorist acts aimed at securing his release.

By killing him, this goes away.  The US takes a bit of criticism for a short period then it becomes old news.

Should the US be going around assassinating enemies?  Mostly I’d say no, but some people are such evil swine that I think that on balance there is a net benefit in them being removed from the world.  Osama bin Laden was one of these people.  He deserved what he got from the Americans.

Community

In the aftermath of the Brisbane floods, the huge turnout of volunteers to help clean up the debris left by the water was inspiring.  It is wonderful to see all these people get together to help out their community.

More than 7,000 registered volunteers and many thousands of unofficial volunteers turned out for a clean up day organised by the city council.  Up to 50,000 people have registered to volunteer online, with Volunteering Queensland having to halt registrations because of the sheer volume of help on offer.

Today, so many people turned up to help that volunteers had to be turned away.

I can’t imagine what it would be like to have your home full of mud and shit.  Where would you start with cleaning it and trying to get back to normality? 

And of course, while disasters bring out the good in most people, they unfortunately also bring out the scum who see empty houses and shops as fair game for a bit of looting. More than a handful of people have been caught stealing.  The penalty for looting is apparently up to 10 years in jail – myself, I think the punishment should be more creative – maybe a swim in the river while chained to a large heavy object?

I think this is a lovely, cute photo.

But it does come with a sad story.  The local RSPCA here in Canberra has taken in something like 700 animals in the lead up to Christmas.  According to the head of the RSPCA in Canberra,  people who plan poorly for the holidays are more likely to dump their pets because they have not organised a place for them to stay.

"There’s ample facilities available in Canberra there’s boarding facilities, there’s people who will come to your home and sit your pets for you while you away,"

he said.

"So we’re imploring the community to really look at the commercial options available to you before you make your travel plans."

In other words, to the dickheads that dump their pets on the RSPCA, use your brains and think ahead before you go on holidays – and if you can’t afford to pay to have your animals looked after properly, you can’t afford to go on holidays.  Maybe spend less on cigarettes and beer and stuff, you lowlives?   Treat your pets like a loved family member, not just a toy or a fashion accessory.

Why can’t we have intelligence tests for people before they’re allowed to have pets (and children, and drive cars)?

No money, try this

First you need a 12 year old daughter.

Second, you have to be a drug-fucked sleazebag.

Third, you need sleazebag friends.

Last July, a woman complained to close friend Gary Devine of having no money.  The woman, her daughter and Devine agreed the girl should act as a prostitute.  They advertised her services in the local paper. Mum booked a hotel room for 2 nights, and Devine acted as the girl’s pimp, charging $100 for half an hour and an extra $50 if the client did not want to wear a condom.  They made $2000 and the girl gave $100 to Devine, $400 to her mother and spent the rest on drugs for her mother. 

This was so lucrative that Devine then started running his underage prostitution business from his unit, where the girl worked Thursday to Sunday, seeing more than 100 clients.  After each night Devine took $200 and the mother $400, while the rest was spent on drugs for all three. 

Police finally caught up with them in November last year.  Devine has been held in custody since then, as has mum.  The daughter is in foster care.  She caught several sexually transmitted diseases as a result of this business venture.

Devine is a real charmer.  He was charged with procuring a young person to have unlawful sexual intercourse, permitting sexual intercourse with a young person on premises, being a commercial operator of a sexual services business and receiving a fee from sexual services provided by a child.   Not only that, but he was taped making phone calls from jail threatening violence against her.  As well, he almost certainly had sex with her, although 2 charges of rape were dropped.  He has history too, having previous convictions for defilement (whatever that is?) and assaulting a pregnant woman.  He is obviously also a moron of the highest order, one thing his defence lawyer said was that he now understood he had been committing an offence and had learned his lesson – as if he didn’t know it was a crime right from the outset.

He was sentenced this week to 10 years jail.  Mum has yet to be tried for her part in the family business.  One of the customers has also been caught, and charged with having sex with the girl, taking a photograph of her performing a sex act and possessing a copy of that photograph, deemed as child pornography offences, to which he pleaded not guilty.

10 years for selling a 12 year old girl to 100 plus men?  Way too lenient in my view.  This scumbag should have been put away for life.  Mum too, her breach of trust and duty of care is even worse than Devine’s.  The clients should be identified, named, shamed and given jail time. 

Might I suggest a suitable punishment?

Stewart Blackburn, 18, was having problems with his girlfriend.  In fact she was threatening to break up with him.  So he poured petrol over her and set her on fire, then held her bedroom door shut, cutting off any chance of escape.

Her final words to her father were: "I don’t want to die, Dad – I love you."  The prosecutor told the court:

"It is difficult to envisage more cruel or sadistic treatment of another human being,"

Too true!  Blackburn faces life imprisonment when he is sentenced next year for murdering 17 year old Jessica McCagh.  I’m thinking a Joan d’Arc style punishment is more fitting – tie him to a stake and light the bonfire.
