Occassionally we here at Anti-bvbl blog have been criticized for not posting a thread about child molesters. We could always count on other blogs (that shall go unnamed) to trot out each and every story if the child molester had an Hispanic last name. We didn’t feel the need to cover the story. We also don’t run a mini news series. However, tonight we made an exception. News and Messenger is currently running 3 separate stories about various cases of sex crimes against children.
The first story involved a man with a Latino last name. He was charged with the rape of a 10 year old girl who lived at the same address. The man in this case is being held without bond.
The second story started out in the town of Dumfries and led to the arrest of a man living in Alberta, Canada for various crimes involving pedophilia. According to www.insidenova:
Police were alerted to Mackintosh after a tip from Northern Virginia’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
Dumfries police Officer John Chapman said he communicated with Mackintosh and posed as a male pedophile for two months.
“The man found me online and expressed a desire to meet a young boy at a retail store and then take him by force back to his home,” Chapman said.
After receiving that message, Chapman said he contacted police in Edmonton to alert them.
Police searched Mackintosh’s home and computer, where they found “thousands” of images of child pornography, Wickens said.
Officer Chapman is a hero. Who knows what horrors his actions prevented. MacKintosh has been charged with distributing child pornography.
The third story involved a 49 year old Dumfries man who gets the dubious honor of being dubbed ‘Fugitive of the Week.’ He is wanted for child sexual assault which includes:
The warrants charge him with object sexual penetration, aggravated sexual battery and taking indecent liberties with children.
Anyone with information about Snider’s whereabouts is encouraged to call Prince William County Crime Solvers at 703-680-3700.
So we have a Latino charged with rape , a Canadian charged with pedophilia Internet crimes and a white guy from Dumfries charged with sexual assault which includes object penetration. Obviously sexual deviancy against children crosses all racial and cultural lines, if our sampling is any example. What makes these creeps do these heinous behaviors? Why do these people ever get out of prison?
Every day there is some statement made about childhood obesity. I venture to say half of it is caused by children not being allowed to go outside and be kids. They can’t. It is too dangerous with these kinds of people running loose and preying upon our children. They stay inside, eat, watch TV or play video games.
I vote for life in prison when these acts are committed against children. One child molester is one too many.
Either child molestation is a good reason to hate an entire race of people, i.e. the race of the perpetrator, or it’s not a good reason. I vote not.
Let’s see if anyone starts harping on the Latino name person only. To do that they’d be faced with the fact that the same idiotic logic would have to be applied to the other two perpetrators who are not Latino.
Hate all Canadians because of something one Canadian did? Sounds ridiculous doesn’t it? Hate all people from Dumphries because of something someon from Dumphries did? Not gonna happen.
Justin, they don’t hate Latinos because some are child molesters. Those that hate them would hate them anyway. They use the child molester angle to justify their hate.
That is just terrible.
Sure hope parents don’t teach their kids to only watch out for adults who look Hispanic. Kids should be taught to be wary of any and all strangers.
It’s unfortunate, but Starryflight’s comment is a true statement of our pathetic society. One that treats criminals with undue kindness instead of harsh punishment. No deterrent, no solution!
you can search the Virginia SOR (Sex Offender Registry) – http://sex-offender.vsp.virginia.gov/sor/ – to find offenders who live in your neighborhood. Surprising how many of them are around.
Pat-Thanks for sharing the link. I check that site regularly due to the zip code I live in and my surrounding zip codes. It is quite surprising how many are “our” neighbors. Sickos are EVERYWHERE.
Moon-I have no problem with life in prison for these perverts, but only after castration. Even the cold-heartedest of murders have NO use for these sorts of sickos. Hopefully it will be a long and painful stay for these sex offenders.
El Guapo, I agree that prejudice toward a particular race probably precedes stereotyping, but people can be gullible when they are made to be afraid, and prejudice can turn into hatred.
Let’s not forget Greg Letiecq’s motive for generating all that fear. He and those three politicians he worked for in 2007 had elections to win. Elections are won and lost by turn out, and the more hate they could generate, the more people they could motivate to vote for their ticket. It’s not really the full story to say ignorance and prejudice were already out there and no new converts were possible. Perhaps there were limits to how many people would be ignorant enough to fall for a propaganda campaign with Latino names being dragged through the mud on a daily basis, but whatever number there was, they needed to turn them out to vote, or Stewart, Miller, and Stirrup would have lost. Gospel Greg’s whole identity thgat year was riding on being the election guru who won the day.
WT-Stirrup and Miller didn’t have any real competition. I think Corey could’ve pulled off on his own too. I think you are giving too much “credit” to one individual for three candidates winning. Just my opinion, nothing more.
Who knows what the outcome of any election would have been if this had been different or that had been different. The only one I can say for sure would have been the Gainesville race. The candidate got very little help from his party.
As for the house seat and the chair…every little link helps in an effort to destroy a person politically. Sharon Pandek put up a good fight. Out of approximately 55,000 votes, there was only a difference of 6,000 or so. That isn’t a huge number when you take all the issues in the county in November of 2007.
Prince William results:

There were only about 3200 votes difference in the Colgan/Fitzsimmons race. UFB. Who would have ever thought FitzS. would be serious competition.
The Republicans and all their operatives declared all out war in the 2007 and most of the time they were quite successful. They used the immigration issue very wisely. Masterful ‘swiftboating’ of the issue.
It was all over an election. And it worked, except in the case of FitzSimmons, Royse, and Gill.
As for Rishell, the ad hominem attacks are still going on even today. I still cannot comment on that situation publically.
I am not exactly sure what the penalty is for being a sex offender on that list. Does one only make the list once they are out of prison?
As some of you know, I have a very close friend who has a son in prison. (NOT for this crime) He is in a medium security prison which is also where many of the child sex offenders are housed. He says that they aren’t targetted like he always heard they were.
I have been trying to find out more about this subject via my friend. She doesn’t see him often.
I’ve read that since child molestation and rape are about power and not sex, castrating an offender will only turn him into a murderer. I need to cite my source, I know.
Chemical castration supposedly helps some of them control their nasty urges.
Kids should not just be warned about strangers. A lot of child molestation happens with people the child knows, I am sorry to say. I have known several people who have had diddling uncles and inappropriate step fathers and nervy neighbors.
You are right Lafayette. Greg wants to seem more important than he is. Perhaps he is even less of a factor than any of us realized. But he should be held responsible for his actions, as should the politicians who used him.

I posted this article eons ago on this site but I guess too many people here are so blinded by PCness they just can’t accept the fact that there are cultural differences in what we define as rape and what it is defined as south of the border. From the article:
“Rape is prosecuted at the state level, and state laws vary. A review of criminal laws in all 31 states showed that many required that if, for example, a 12-year-old girl accused an adult of statutory rape, she had first to prove she was “chaste and pure.” Nineteen of the states required that statutory rape charges be dropped if the rapist agreed to marry his victim.”
What we culturally define as an abomination is not the same as what everyone else does.
It wasn’t that long ago that in THIS country American girls and women had to prove they were pure and chaste. We don’t have to go to Mexico to get that kind of crap. I expect it still exists right here in the United States.
When the victim’s reputation stops coming into question during rape trials, then I will blast Mexico for their behavior. PC or not. Makes no difference to me on this sort of thing.
“We don’t have to go to Mexico to get that kind of crap. I expect it still exists right here in the United States. ”
Where exactly? Show me a state where a 12 year old would have to prove chasteness or state law saying rape charges are dropped if the rapist agreed to marry his victim. It doesn’t exist.
I’m not blasting Mexico. I’m not even judging right or wrong. It’s irrelevant. The point is, there ARE differences in what is culturally acceptable.
Mando, I didn’t say a 12 year old specifically. I didn’t say you blasted Mexico. I said women and girls often have to prove that they pure and chaste. Many a rape case has been ultimately thrown out because the woman was ‘asking for it.’ I would like to think this mentality has improved over the years.
If those laws are on the books in Mexico, then it is dead wrong. There is a flip side. Often families take care of such matters themselves. In areas were there is a great deal of political corruption, people often have to take matters into their own hands.
Differernt cultures do have different standards dealing with family and sexual matters. There should be no society that accepts sexual abuse of children.
Should we assume, for example, that those coming from countries that sanction female castration will perform the procedures here?
Probably not due to legal reasons. But you can assume that, most likely, they aren’t adverse to the practice since it is culturally acceptable and possible preferable. That could lead to illegal procedures being done here.
Also, as far as I know, we don’t share a border with a country that finds that culturally acceptable. If we did, you’d definitely see alot more of it.
On the other hand, do we have any idea how many immigrants from those cultures that perform female genital mutilation are now living in the United States? Shudder.
Generally, since we don’t share a border, we don’t have to worry as much about illegal entry. Considering we’re filtering entrants, and assuming most who would find this practice acceptable (or, at least, understand we find it deplorable) wouldn’t generally be part of the population (professionals) we’re allowing legal entry, I wouldn’t imagine it ever being much of a problem. I’m sure it happens, but not on the same scale as if we shared a border with that country.
Whatever country we share a border with, we’re going to see more of their culture. Both good and bad parts.
Child rape in our eyes is not child rape in others eyes. Indecent exposure in our eyes isn’t indecent exposure in others eyes.
A child rapist that is part of our culture knows he’s a child rapist and knows he’s the worst of the worst as far as we’re concerned. You can’t say the same for someone from a culture that doesn’t consider sex with a 12 year old rape.
Apparently people like Warren Jeff doesn’t feel it is rape either, and he is Mr. Ultra Religious.
I am not ready to say that all or even most people from south of the border approve of having sex with 12 year olds. I have heard that information but it was given as urban legend. Are there outliers? Of course. We have outliers in this country.
Maybe we could make a whole sentence out of the word hate. Hate hated the hated hater. Subject is simply the concept hate. Predicate “hated the hater” isn’t too bad, has your verb (past tense in this case) hated, and a direct object, “the hater”.
I don’t think I use the word ‘hater’ around alot but after some of the stuff I have read today various places, I am not so sure El Guapo isn’t right on the money. Check out the comments in the News and Messenger for starters.
I hate haters!
Depends on what the haters hate.
I thought the mouse was coming back.
@Mando
You could be very well right about proximity contributing to the issue, Mando. That said, I wonder about the numbers–what ethic group does what to whom. There must be a study out there somewhere.
Slowpoke and MH, that sentence structure dissection is just too convoluted for my meager brain to comprehend.
