for a murder he did not commit. He was pronounced guilty in sixteen minutes

Lil Rice was shot dead in Ohio two seconds after the murderous cop arrives
and yet the 'purer than thou', judgmental asshole and pedophile son of ReTHUG snake oil grifters had his record destroyed and folks here are asking me to be nice to him.
Fuck that!!!

This story is sad, and represents surely thousands like it.
Continuing to this day, I might add.

(2,382 posts)And I share the poster's disgust that being an uber-religious celebrity, like Josh Duggar is, somehow entitles him to forgiveness for being a malevolent sexual predator who has scarred those girls for life.
Fuck that.

Many of those fundamentalists still will quote chapter and verse to condemn mixed-race marriages; they believe that Blacks are born with the "Mark of Cain" or the "Curse of Ham", depending on which imaginary human any church finds convenient to suit their racist rants. One of those humongous families lived just up the road from us here and both of the parents are currently serving prison terms for abusing to death the little girl they'd adopted from Ethiopia.

For three years, that poor child was told she had the devil within her, that she'd been born cursed, and they beat her continually with one of the recommended "rods" that sickos Michael and Debi Pearl sold thru their twisted ministry (the very same people that the Duggars used to sing praises of) to "break her will". The older boys in that family had also been given the duty of "disciplining" the younger "rebellious" children, so that helpless girl and another even smaller deaf boy, also adopted from Ethiopia, couldn't turn around or even frown without getting beaten by somebody.
It took five months to get our fucking prosecutor to finally take action against these murderers.
They were such a good religious family.

(12,157 posts)The family of the people who put this child in the electric chair should see a pardon for them. They should get down on their knees and beg forgiveness for the actions of the grandparents and parents. Maybe the family will grant forgiveness but maybe not.
Frierson and Stinneys family maintained that they never wanted a pardon.
Theres a difference: A pardon is forgiving someone for something they did, Norma Robinson, George Stinneys niece, told the Manning Times. That wasnt an option for my mother, my aunt or my uncle. We werent asking forgiveness.
Instead, they sought whats called a writ of coram nobis. It means, in essence, mistakes were made.

(8,554 posts)The Sex Offender registry is public knowledge, for good reason, and those who think that Child Molesters need to be treated with "kid" gloves for some reason surely must have never had any experience with one.
Covering up such heinous crimes puts other children at risk of suffering, especially when a known predator is constantly surrounded by lots of kids, either those of one's own family or the children of friends, neighbors, or unknowing random acquaintances.
It makes me nauseous to hear the words "mistakes", "sins", and "forgiveness" used in place of child molestation, crime, and psychological treatment. This is 2015 not the Middle Ages!
Fuck that bullshit! Just fuck it!
