Two Headlines: Man is one twisted cookie


Tests show clinic drenched in blood
Former HQ for abortion business had blood on walls 'floor to ceiling'

The same abortion clinic mentioned in an earlier post has managed to rival what I can't help but think of as horror movie imagery...

"We were expecting to find a little bit of blood. We were not expecting to find the amount we found," office manager Brenna Sullenger told WorldNetDaily. "It was horrifying. It covered the walls floor to ceiling.

"In the procedure rooms you could tell the outline of the table, but the rest of it was covered. I was pretty horrified," she said.

...

"As Brenna began to spray the baseboards and the walls, suddenly, the entire room reflected an eerie glow as the area began to emit a bright pale-blue luminescence – the positive indicator of the presence of human blood," the group said in its report.

Both spatter patterns and smears, where it appeared there were cleanup attempts, were revealed.

"The walls looked like there had been a chain saw massacre in there," said Cheryl Sullenger.

I don't know what to add to that.







Dakota Fanning 'raped' in new film
North Carolina prosecutors 'aware' of 12-year-old girl's graphic scene

Susan Jordan, a district attorney in Wilmington assigned to work with such complaints, said she could not at this time confirm a formal investigation into the rape scene.

"I am aware of that situation," she told WorldNetDaily. "The charge that would potentially apply to the scenario would be sexual exploitation of a minor."

She said statutory rape laws would require the actual assault, and her understanding was that any assault was simulated. Third-degree or second-degree sexual exploitation would involve having or trading child pornography, she said.

What kind of images would something like this put into the mind of a potential child rapist? It also puts to question the reasoning ability of Ms. Fannings parents... How could they possibly see even the pretend raping of their 12 year old daughter as a good thing? Because of the money their daughter will make?

The movie is an independent that had to raise additional money when some initial investors pulled their support because of the rape scene. It is being assembled by writer-director Deborah Kampmeier. Her earlier work, "Virgin," was about a young girl who is raped, but doesn't remember the attack and believes she's carrying the Christ child.

...

["Virgin"] is about "Jessie," (Elizabeth Moss) who hides her suffering from being trapped by her family's conservative Baptists beliefs with liquor, kleptomania and drugs. She has a sexual encounter after a spell of drugs and liquor and finds she is pregnant, deciding that she is carrying the next Christ child.

Ms. Kampmeier has some obvious issues... Two films about young girls being raped? To say nothing of the religios overtones of "Virgin".

I can't speak the merits of those two movies, but here is a legitimate story to be told that would depict a minor girl beinbg raped: The tale of five evil American soldiers who raped and murdered a 14-year-old girl then killed her family.

And they should be turned over to local Iraqi authorities for adjudication.

There ARE, sadly, good reasons to depict a rape scene involving a child.

What? No due process for American soldiers? Just hand 'em over to a foreign power for a "fair" trial?

What precedent can you name that such a thing should be done in this instance?

Look to Lincoln. He suspended most of the Constitution when it suited him.


As for due process, Toby and Willie said it best:


Well a man come on 6 o'clock news
Said somebody been shot
Somebody's been abused
somebody blew up a building
somebody stole a car
somebody got away
somebody didn't get too far
Yeah, they didn't get too far

Grand pappy told my pappy back in my day, son
A man had to answer for the wicked that he'd done
Take all the rope in Texas
Find a tall oak tree, round up all of them bad boys
Hang them high in the street
For all the people to see

That
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing
whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

We got too many gangsters doing dirty deeds
too much corruption and crime in the streets
It's time the long arm of the law put a few more in the ground
Send 'em all to their maker and he'll settle 'em down
You can bet he'll set 'em down

Cause
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces singing
whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
whiskey for my men, beer for my horses

He knew
Justice is the one thing you should always find
You got to saddle up your boys,
You got to draw a hard line
When the gun smoke settles we'll sing a victory tune
And we'll all meet back at the local saloon
And we'll raise up our glasses against evil forces
Singin' whiskey for my men, beer for my horses
Singing whiskey for my men, beer for my horses


Perhaps in your rush to brand me a liberal -- a label to which I usually do not object -- you mistake me as being soft on crime. I am not. Micha 6:8. JUSTICE, as well as mercy.

I have NEVER thought you soft on crime.

Cool tune, btw.
