Maryland freezer kids were asphyxiated
Police: Girls Found In Freezer Died Of Asphyxiation:
For those of you who were reading the site for a while, you may remember the case of Renee Bowman, aka Frog Clown. (Look at her mugshot and that will explain everything.)
She’s the woman from Maryland who police found the bodies of two of her adopted children in a freezer. A third daughter had to literally jump from the 2nd story of the house and contacted police because of abuse.
The cause of death of the two girls has been released. 9-year-old Jasmine Nicole Bowman and 11-year-old Minnet Cecilia Bowman died of asphyxiation.
What I haven’t seen in any of the articles I read was exactly how the girls were asphyxiated.

Ex-Marine arrested in craigslist death
As you all know you can find just about anything on craigslist. Hacked iPhones, stolen stereos, a human being. Wait, what?
That’s what 35-year-old Willie Donaldson of Arlington, VA got. He responded to the ad of 32-year-old Matthew Hicks of Sterling, VA. Donaldson hired Hicks and his girlfriend but it was unknown for what but not surprisingly Hicks’ ad was in the erotic services section of craigslist.
At sometime during the night Hicks and Donaldson got into some kind of argument. Shortly before 4am the ex-marine Donaldson put an end to the argument by allegedly shooting and killing Hicks. Donaldson then called the police and when they arrived at the scene Donaldson turned himself in quietly.
According to the article, Donaldson looked brutal in his mugshot sporting some blood, a black eye, and a sling. So technically Donaldson could have acted in self-defense. That remains to be seen.
What you won’t hear the media say is that this is the third murder that was somehow connected to craigslist. The first was Katherine Ann Olson of Minneapolis who was shot and killed when she responded to a fake employment add. The second was Charles Parrish Murphy of Fresno, California. He was found dead after he went to meet someone he was selling a car to on craigslist. That doesn’t even count 19-year-old Donna Jou who disappeared after having a date with a sex offender that she met through craigslist.
This highlights a big problem with craigslist and its erotic services section. Even after its much-lauded new security measures, it seems that the erotic services section of craigslist is still alive and thriving. If you haven’t figured it out by now I would say that 99% of all erotic services ads are not so thinly veiled ads for prostitution. And prostitution is not a victimless crime as so many would have you believe. Even if prostitution was legal you’d still have the problems of drugs and violence that are associated with it now.
Even though craigslist CEO Jim Buckmaster said that any amount of crime on craigslist is unacceptable he still allows the largest source of crime on its site to continue.

Golden/Grant could be charged
Police look into charging Golden:
The other day I posted about how Andrew Golden/Drew Douglas Grant was denied a conceal and carry permit. Now investigators are looking into if any criminal charges could be filed. However, the only charges that could be filed would be misdemeanors.
It’s also interesting to note that juvenile convictions that are expunged in any other case can apply to a denial of a conceal and carry permit.
As previously mentioned Golden/Grant lied on his application about various addresses he lived at and his fingerprints also identified him as one of the Jonesboro shooters.

No cake for little Hitler
Holland Township man names son after Adolf Hitler:
If you thought that Barack Hussein Obama had an unfortunate name get ready to feel sorry for this kid.
35-year-old assclown Heath Campbell of New Jersey named his 3-year-old son Adolf Hitler Campbell. It doesn’t end there. His two daughters are named JoyceLynn Aryan Nation Campbell and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie Campbell.
Now the nazi dad is all up in arms, or maybe just up in arm at a 45-degree angle outstretched, because a local supermarket wouldn’t print little Adolf’s name on a birthday cake.
Of course, they say that they aren’t racist but believe races shouldn’t mix. Um…I think that’s one of the qualifications for being a racist but we’ll continue. He also said that his kid’s names are just names and don’t hurt anybody. Yeah pal, just wait until your kids are school age and you’ll find out who they hurt.
And to make it even better both Breeders are leeches on the system…
Disabilities, the couple says, have left both out of work: Heath Campbell can’t landscape or pump gas because he has emphysema, and Deborah can’t waitress because she has a bad back. They live on Social Security payments.
Just what I want my tax dollars going to. Two probably lazy assclowns who can’t be bothered to work and name their kids after Nazis.
In a perfect world since my taxes are going to support him I, among other taxpayers, should be allowed to go to his home at least once a year and whup his ass.

What’s next for Zarate?
Zarate faces life for brutal murder:
Actually, this is an article from NorthJersey.com that gives us some new information about the Zarate trial.
Sentencing is scheduled for January 16th. In New Jersey, a life sentence is 75 years and he must serve 85% of that sentence before being eligible for parole. That’s almost 64 years. Prosecutors will also be asking for consecutive sentences for some of the lesser charges as well so Zarate could end up getting 100 years behind bars. We can hope.
Zarate’s brother James will be going to trial for his part in the murder next year.
Thanks again to Helen for the tips.

Teen shot both parents over Halo 3
Daniel Petric killed mother, shot father because they took Halo 3 video game, prosecutors say:
17-year-old Daniel Petric of Ohio is on trial for shooting his parents after his father forbade him from playing Halo 3. His father, Mark Petric, survived but his mother, Susan Petric, die from her wounds.
Petric had snuck out of the house to buy the game when he returned he was caught by his dad who took the game away from him. His father put the game in the same lockbox he kept a 9mm handgun.
A month later Petric was able to break into the box. He took the gun and shot both of his parents. He told them to close their eyes because he had a surprise for them and that’s when he shot them both. He then placed the gun in his dad’s hand and said “Hey Dad, here’s your gun. Take it.”
When Daniel’s older sister arrived at the house with her husband Daniel fled the scene taking the game with him.
He is being tried as an adult.
Now the question is did the game make him like this. After all Halo 3 is a fairly violent game to non-gamers. However, the answer to that question, of course, is no. I’ve posted various stories about teens who have killed their parents and rarely are video games involved. Usually, it’s over a boyfriend or girlfriend or some other teenage addiction that they allegedly couldn’t live without.
Unfortunately, this is another case of a teen who thought that their alleged problems were more important than life itself. I wonder how our teens became so selfish.

Columbine depositions to remain sealed
Court upholds decision to keep Columbine depositions sealed:
The 10th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld a decision that depositions given by the parents of the Columbine shooters remain sealed in the National Archives for 20 years.
Previously U.S. District Judge Lewis T. Babcock ordered the depositions sealed after families of the victims among others had requested that the depositions be made public. The depositions were given by Wayne and Kathy Harris, the parents of Eric Harris, and Thomas and Susan Klebold, the parents of Dylan Klebold. They’re from a civil lawsuit that the family of Columbine victim Daniel Rohrbough filed against the killers’ parents.
In the new ruling attorneys argued that since the records were made by a court that they qualify under the Federal Records Act. The court disagreed stating the depositions should have been returned to the people who made them. If that had happened I’m sure they’d be nothing but ash by now.
Judge Babcock originally ruled that way stating that if the depositions were to be made public that would inspire a whole new generation of school shooters. I disagree. In case you haven’t noticed school shooters and would be shooters don’t need some depositions to find inspiration. You would need to erase the memories of Columbine and every school shooting since from everyone on the planet before they would no longer find inspiration. The private journals of both cowardly scumbag killers have been released and that didn’t cause an outbreak of shootings.
Conversely, I think it would benefit greatly if the depositions were made public. We could learn from the Harrises and Klebolds mistakes in their parenting techniques on how to tell if our children are on a dangerous path like those of the killers.
Now there will just have to be a 20-year wait for that knowledge. I still say if any school shooting deaths happen between now and then that the blood will be on the hands of Judge Babcock.
