1. I assume this is in reference to those poor kidnapped young women.

Pigs.

Bastards.

I hope the law reaches 'fullest extent' on this despicable crew.

[Tx4obama]

3. Yes. The three women were held in Ariel's house, and the other two men are his brothers.

Ariel is 52 years old, the other two men are 50 and 54.

2. Dear dog

They give me the willies.

[hlthe2b]

5. you are not the only one... Ugggh...

Thank Gawd they didn't kill these women is my overriding thought. They certainly have the "look" (if there is such a thing) of those who would...

[warrior1]

6. looks like they had a sleepless night

I hope for many more to come.

10. I'm curious to know if there were other missing girls in the past they may have disposed of...

and I refuse to believe there wasn't some friend or relative who didn't know about this...

[Tx4obama]

15. There's one more girl that went missing in the same area 4 years ago that has not yet been found

Ashley Summers...

20. There are 45 female open missing persons cases in Cleveland

Here: http://www.cleveland.com/datacentral/index.ssf/2013/05/nearly_100_missing_person_case.html

I wonder how many of these will be connected to the brothers.

4. Those poor girls they abducted and kept prisoners all those years

and all the sexual abuse they must have endured. Hopefully they will recover and become strong like Elizabeth Smart.

[arely staircase]

24. i heard the 911 call on NPR

it was heartbreaking.

[MagickMuffin]

25. It was indeed

I am glad they are physically free, however, they will probably require years of therapy to escape the mental prison these (fill in the _______________ ) did to them.

[Warpy]

26. It's not entirely clear they abducted them

since all 3 had what is euphemistically referred to as "troubled pasts," including being runaways.

It is abundantly clear they were imprisoned once they got there.

ETA: charges haven't been filed as yet. I think that's probably because they're trying to sort out the "kidnapping" part.

[MagickMuffin]

28. If those girls were held against their WILL, then that by definition is abduction

It certainly isn't clear what the circumstances are as it relates to this story.

But let me pose this question to you. If you were to come to my house and I refused to let you leave, wouldn't you consider that you had been abducted???

Certainly if I took away your Free Will to live your life according to how you wanted to live, then that is a form of abduction. At least it is in my book!

Peace

[Warpy]

29. However, it's a minor difference from

grabbing minor children off the street, and that's probably what people are trying to sort out.

Consider also that even though they're out of that house, the decade of abuse has probably made them terrified to speak. It might take some time.

[Quantess]

7. Eewwww. Poor women!

[haikugal]

8. Ick...how horrific for those poor women...

not that it would have been more endurable if the criminals had been cleaner or better looking...but how horrible.

[ellisonz]

9. Let them rot.

[Coyotl]

11. So, do you mind providing us with enough information to know why you would post three mug shots?

[Tx4obama]

14. There is a link under the photo up in the OP.

And the story has been on the top front page of CNN for almost 24 hours now here: http://www.cnn.com/

[blue neen]

23. No need to be nasty.

Gee.

[geek tragedy]

12. Orcs. nt

[get the red out]

13. I hope the do not enjoy the rest of their lives

Not one tiny bit.

[mainer]

16. I read that Ariel had been doing a lot of digging in his backyard

There may be other girls buried there that we don't know about.

[Tx4obama]

17. Hopefully not a bunch of babies. Or Ashley Summers, see Comment #15. n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

18. the look like brothers

[Tx4obama]

19. Yes, they are brothers. Ages: 50, 52, 54. n/t

[Liberal_in_LA]

22. I know. Just commenting on how much they look alike.

[backscatter712]

27. Where's my rusty pinking shears? n/t

[fujiyama]

30. My guess is some on this site would find it wrong

to sentence them to a lifetime each of isolation. That's the impression I got from the thread on supermax prisons.

Let them fucking rot. Personally, I'll admit I'd be tempted to pull the trigger or flip the switch.
