Republican connections trump justice in sodomy case.
Edited on Wed Apr-05-06 11:03 AM by Swede
They are accused of having inserted broom and mop handles, a flashlight and a cane between the buttocks of 18 junior high school boys during a week-long outing last June for student council leaders at a camp in Prescott. By all accounts, the boys were clothed at the time, some of them wearing only swimming trunks or underwear. Some endured repeated attacks.

In addition, Wheeler was charged with choking three of the boys until they passed out.
If these guys where Democrat or heaven forbid Hispanic or black,they'd be strung up.

Here's links to the prosecutor and her response to this travesty.

7. Not with CynthiaGate to crow about
That incident is at the center of all news reporting, although it pales in comparison to what happens DAILY over there on PA ave in DC.

3. The prosecutor is an idiot.
A jury should decide if there was a sexual motive.

Man Arrested at Okla. Airport With Device

By KENDAL KELLY

OKLAHOMA CITY -- Federal agents arrested a college student after finding a small explosive device in his baggage as he passed through an airport security checkpoint.

Officials have found no apparent connection between University of Oklahoma student Charles Alfred Dreyling Jr. and any terrorist group or activity, said Agent Gary Johnson, an FBI spokesman.

Dreyling, 24, was released on $10,000 bail Thursday after appearing in federal court. He faces a federal charge of trying to get on an aircraft with an explosive device. If convicted, he faces up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

<snip>

But Dreyling's landlord, former Oklahoma City Mayor Kirk Humphreys, said he had created a "glorified firecracker" and forgot it was in his luggage.

A rich Republican spoiled brat tries to get on a plane with a pipebomb... gets out on bail... and is allowed to continue his flight school training.

5. GOOD GRIEF
These people are so freakin' twisted in the depravity of their power trips.

But hey, when the U.S. government is accused of using similar tactics, now Rush can say that the torturers were just acting like 'student council camp counselors.'

6. Trying to make case that they are not as worthy to be victims as
the rape and child molested.

"Quite frankly, it is slap in the face to child molestation and sexual-assault victims everywhere to put this conduct in the same category."

She should had been asked if those who were molested as children or sexually assaulted would feel molested or sexually assaulted if they had gone through the same thing.

She should had been asked if they had done it to her would she had demanded that charges be filed.
