Monsters among us

How well do you know your neighbors? Those serial killers, child molesters and terrorists all live next door to somebody.

Here is an amazing new story of three women who each went missing at different times all being found alive in the same house, having been held captive for ten or more years. How did they go undetected all  those years?

A neighbor heard a woman screaming and went to help. The woman was trying to get out of the house across the street. The neighbor kicked in the bottom of the door and she escaped. He handed her his cell phone and she called 9-11. There were two other women (taken as teens) who had been held captive for a decade also, as well as a child one of the women had with a captor. Three men have been arrested.

My closest neighbor stole my potatoes once. Since then I am very suspicious against, would not be surprised to find out he is a child molester, atheist and liberal on top!

About this story, we have no clue what's going on. There was a german girl who was found after 15 years too, she told she was kidnapped yet later the story became more umbrageous as facts told that she could ask for help one millions times but she didn't. And again, a kid with the kidnapper.

I grow tired of the continual lies about me. I don't hate you, I don't hate gays, I don't hate liberals. I do hate the destruction liberalism brings to people and to society however. But that is not the subject of this thread.

CLEVELAND (AP) — Prosecutors said Thursday they may seek the death penalty against Ariel Castro, the man accused of imprisoning three women at his home for a decade, as police charged that he impregnated one of his captives at least five times and made her miscarry by starving her and punching her in the belly.

The horrific allegations were contained in a police report that also said another one of the women, Amanda Berry, was forced to give birth in a plastic kiddie pool.

Cuyahoga County prosecutor Timothy McGinty said his office will decide whether to bring aggravated murder charges punishable by death in connection with the pregnancies that were terminated by force.

"Capital punishment must be reserved for those crimes that are truly the worst examples of human conduct," he said. "The reality is we still have brutal criminals in our midst who have no respect for the rule of law or human life."

Castro, a 52-year-old former school bus driver, is being held on $8 million bail under a suicide watch in jail, where he is charged with rape and kidnapping.

McGinty said Castro will be charged for every act of sexual violence, assault and other crimes committed against the women, suggesting the counts could number in the hundreds, if not thousands.

Among the chilling details in the police report, obtained Thursday by news organizations:

— Berry, now 27, told officers that she was forced to give birth in a plastic pool in the house so it would be easier to clean up. Berry said she, her baby, now 6, and the two other rescued women had never been to a doctor during their captivity.

— Michelle Knight, now 32, said her five pregnancies ended after Castro starved her for at least two weeks and "repeatedly punched her in the stomach until she miscarried." She also said Castro forced her to deliver Berry's baby under threat of death if the infant died. Knight said that when the newborn stopped breathing, she revived the child through mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

— All three women said Castro chained them up in the basement but eventually let them live upstairs on the second floor. Each woman told a similar story about being abducted after accepting a ride from Castro.

If you don't trust your neighbors, don't live next to them, or even better: Don't make relationships with them.

the **** dude? I'm giving you a compliment! I like the fact that you openly hate gays, liberals and non-americans. I think it's a good thing, because you're not hiding behind the idea that it "lowers the tone of the neighbourhood" or whatever. If I had you in my neighbourhood, I'd be ****ing glad because that means that all the uptight tory, ukip and bnp nutters here would actually calm down and try and be less persecuting.

Castro, the monster I refered to in the first post of the thread, made a plea bargin to avoid the death penalty.  He plead guilty to the kidnapping and continual raping of 3 women (2 were teens at the time they were abducted) and holding them for 10+ years, and for murdering their preborn children through starvation and beatings of the women until they had a miscarriage.  

Today the judge sentenced him to life with no possibility of parole + 1000 years.

One of the victims, Michelle Knight, who was the first captive, gave an impact statement, which you can watch on CNN.

Quote:

"There is no place in this city, there is no place in this country, there is no place in this world for those who enslave others," Judge Michael Russo told kidnapper Ariel Castro.

The court in Cuyahoga County is seizing the property of Ariel Castro and imposing a fine of $100,000 on him, in addition to his massive sentence.

[Breaking news alert, 1:45 p.m. ET]

"A person can only die in prison once," Judge Michael Russo told Ariel Castro Thursday in handing down a sentence of life in prison plus 1,000 years. The judge called the sentence "commensurate with the harm you've done."

Russo, noting that Castro treated his victims as "slaves," said consecutive sentences rendered in his case must be "imposed" to protect the public and "to punish you."

"You don't deserve to be out in our community," he said. "You're too dangerous."

There's no point in imposing retribution on an animal, especially seeing how his current punishment only serves to be a further burden on the American public. I say kill him quickly.

How come Bradley Manning gets the same punishment as this scum?! The whole world has a twisted sense of justice. Hopefully Castro gets a taste overdose of his own medicine in prison.

I would give him 3 choices:

1.Death Penalty
2. Life in Prison
3. Life in a Psychiatric wart, maybe he can be cured and live a better life.

The biggest mistake is to assume that these people are not human. They are human. Why am I saying this? Well, Mr.Macrapist ruined the life of 3 people, but at least they are still alive. Nobody imprisons politicians or warlords who probably ruined more lives and nobody makes as much drama about somethings like these as americans do.

Why is it again that we are so disgusted by rape and pedophilia but killing 50 or 5000 people is A-OK. Since when is murder more acceptable than rape and pedophilia?
Furthermore, does not pedophilia and rape hint at an underlying condition? I strongly believe that these people could be improved with medications and surgery. Please do tell how a murderer is less of a danger to scoiety than a pedophile or rapist?
And before you say anything, breaking copyright laws will cause you to end up in prison for way longer than rape. Fair?

Few actually thinks that but rape is more emotionally touching. The justice systems are the ones saying that killing that many people is no worse than rape and enslavement. Which is why Bush and Obama will live happy and wealthy lives in retirement while Breivik is complaining about how his cell is not comfortable enough and that he gets too much homework during his studies. And of course as in your example, copyright breakers and heroes get the REAL punishment. Twisted justice...

Didn't realize that America had roving warlords who terrorize the population.

Every country has the government that it deserves, I don't see why I should feel shame to try to support things that make my country a better place just because on the other corner of the world people tolerate that their overlords are mean people.

I know of no politician in recent American (or western for that fact) history who has committed murder, maybe I've overlooked one or two individuals, but I doubt I have.
