Wolves in Wolf Clothing

"Specifically, the growing threat that sexual predators pose to our Nation's children and their families represents an area where our criminal justice system has failed the American people."

-- Paul Gillmor (1939-2007), Congressman

"Our criminal justice system," is a crock.  It basically means the exact opposite of what one first thinks.  The criminal's rights are protected against those that seek retribution for crimes the criminals perpetrate against society.  Criminals have become, like the wolf, a protected species. Nowadays they boldly walk out of the shadows into plain view, a wolf in wolf's clothing, daring us to usurp their God given right to treat everyone else like Dog pooh.  Oh, we find a way to cull the pack, occasionally lulling society into a false sense of security, but most of us feel safer with a fully loaded semi-automatic weapon in our picnic basket when we venture into the concrete jungle.  We rely on our finger jerking in spasm from the emotion of the moment, firing off nine rounds before we realize what our instinct for survival has allowed us to get away with, ensuring our attacker meets God's judgment and saves society a costly trial for determining guilt.  We also sidestep the civil suit we might face for injuring the sick, criminal bastard and preventing them from plying their trade on some other unsuspecting rube.  Isn't it better that we blow the miserable sociopathic waste of human flesh away? 

Man: I just walked in on a grown man molesting… And I got him in a bloody puddle for you, officer.
Dispatcher: Did you use any weapons?
Man: My foot and my fist. I didn’t proceed to ask him any questions, sir. He is nice and knocked out on the floor for you. I drug him out to the living room. He stood up and his pants were around his ankles and nothing else needed to be said. I did whatever I got a right to do except I didn’t kill him. Send an ambulance. He is going to need one.

“You are damn lucky, boy, that I love my God.”

-- Father to 911 dispatcher after beating Frolander (molester of his son)

These predators seem to be, more and more, our neighbors, family, or friends.  They are our co-workers, supervisors, clergy, or a date for the evening of partying and drinking which will, without knowledge or consent of their victim, deteriorate into an evening of roofie addled gang rape and other debauchery which will no doubt end the victim's emotional or physical life.  What of the victim's rights?  Those are what the other predators, the lawyers, define for the victim.  The victim, the innocent, is always guilty until proven not.  Welcome to the American criminal justice system, wait until you meet our politicians!

"Sometimes what happens is lawmakers don't want to know the facts, or the facts don't make any difference. There really are two things that affect public policy. One is the facts. The other is the feelings and political pressure. There are legislators who will say, 'Don't confuse me with the facts. I've made up my mind.'"

-- North Dakota state Senator Tim Mathern

"Feelings and political pressure," makes it sound like the perpetually offended Al Sharpton might have a hand in this, but since he only makes his money off the gullible minorities that buy into his bullshit, I doubt this would be of interest to the "reverend," unless the offender happened to be a minority shot in the commission of a violent rape in which case he will show up, uninvited, to foment divisive racism and pleading the case that the innocent six year old brought it on themselves by wearing those seductive footie pajamas.  Sharpton and his ilk, the new slave owners of black America, know there is money to be made in fear mongering and mob violence.  Where there is no problem, Sharpton is the "Slick Willie" on scene to create one.  Everyone that knows him or seeks his counsel understands this, that's why they hang with him.

Are we waiting for the politicians to take some action to protect us?  This is like having a wolf as a sheepdog.  We are that stupid.  I don't know about everyone else but, after I've cast my vote, I just know I'm going to feel like I've been raped for the duration of their term, and they're going to smile while doing it.  It really doesn't matter what party these predators are, almost all politicians seem to be wolves in sheep's clothing.  And we look to them for protection from predators?  They can't even protect the unborn from abortion, that's how ineffective, inept, and corrupt our politicians are.  

“There is so much money to be made scaring the hell out of Americans about sexuality that no one on the gravy train can afford to slow it down. Any outsider who questions this juggernaut is immediately labeled insensitive, anti-family, immoral, or a pedophile.”

-- Dr. Marty Klein, "America's War On Sex" 

Wolves prey on the weak, the ignorant, and the young.  Like most terrorists, ISIS for instance, they are also cowardly, sociopathic, losers looking for control they can't seem to find among normal society.  They are looking for their next fix, because what the do makes them feel good and powerful when, in reality, they do this because they are cowards that feed off the emotions those that have, and what their victims have is what they want.  It is the drug which sustains the wolf.  Treatment?  Maybe, but like alcohol and other drugs, they can never state they have quit until they die; We can say they have stopped until then, but only when they have stopped for the rest of their lives can we definitively say they had quit.  

"Pedophilia is a lifelong affliction for which there is no treatment. Coupled with the particularly devastating consequences of their conduct, these offenders pose a unique - and perhaps insurmountable - challenge for conventional law enforcement techniques." 

-- Judge Richard Posner, 7th Circuit Appeals Court

The best protection against these wolves is to always be prepared.  As in the wild, prey survives by traveling in groups and watching out for each other.  Learn to protect yourself, and carry a semi-automatic pistol with a couple of extra magazines just in case the wolf is traveling in a pack.  Learn to scream loudly, even in crowded, public places, while taking pictures and declaring what the wolf is up to so everyone knows.  Very soon we'll hear about some great-grandmother, whipping out her AR-15 she's illegally converted to full-auto when she wasn't knitting a blanket, cutting loose on some scumbag with a sixty round magazine.  Now that's personal protection you can take to the bank.  

These particular human predators exist as a reminder of the evil all around us, especially in our own backyard.  Because of the bleeding hearts of our society, these wolves will be around us forever.  It is a sad reality we must always watch our children, watch our loved ones, watch those around us and always be vigilant, especially around strangers.  Never assume you really know those you think you know, even family.   

Many of the wolves still dress up like a sheep. 

"We're trying to correct the loopholes and at the same time protect the innocent people in our community, the children and seniors, from these horrible bad guys who have an awful type of disease that can't be cured."

 -- FL Sen. Eleanor Sobel (D-Hollywood)

Editor's Note 

(re: disclaimer cum "get out of jail free" card) 

Before you go getting your panties in a bunch, it is essential to understand that this is just an opinion site and, as such, can be subjected to scrutiny by anyone with a differing opinion. It doesn't make either opinion any more right or wrong than the other. An opinion, presented in this context, is a way of inciting others to think and, hopefully, to form opinions of their own, if they haven't already done so. This is also why, occasionally, I will present an "opinion" just to stir an emotional pot. Where it may sound like I agree with the statements made, I'm more interested in getting others to consider another viewpoint. 

It is my fervent hope that we keep open and active minds when reading opinions and then engaging in peaceful, constructive, discussion in an arena of mutual respect concerning the opinions put forth. After over twenty years with military intelligence, I have come to believe engaging each other in this manner and in this arena is the way we will learn tolerance and respect for differing beliefs, cultures, and viewpoints.

We all fall from grace, some more often than others; it is part of being human. God's test for us is what we do afterward, and what we learn from the experience.
