I keep threatening to put him on ignore but I keep hoping against hope that he will grow a brain. I guess I'll just have to join the rest of you and just plain give up on him.
Oh well ...

SoCal Polygamist Guilty of Torturing 19 Children, 2 Wives
Wednesday, June 11, 2008
MURRIETA, Calif. — A self-described polygamist was convicted Wednesday of charges that he starved, tortured and abused his two wives and many of his 19 children and stepchildren.
A Riverside County Superior Court jury found Mansa Musa Muhummed guilty on 25 counts, including torturing seven of the children, abusing 12 of them and falsely imprisoning the wives. He faces seven life sentences.
...
Muhummed, whose birth name was Richard Boddie, told authorities that his Muslim faith gave him the right to take multiple wives. He was arrested in 1999 after one of his wives, Laura Cowan, managed to slip a 13-page letter to a postal service worker describing the abuse.
...
Once the case went to trial, a string of his children and stepchildren, now adults, also took the stand, telling the jury that they had been beaten, starved, strung up by their feet and forced to eat vomit and feces.
Muhummed testified in his own defense. On the stand, in sometimes tearful testimony he denied the charges and blamed one of his wives for the alleged abuse.
He said that his children and stepchildren ate three regular meals a day except during the holy month of Ramadan, when the older children ate two meals — one before dawn and one after sunset.
Doctors said the children were extremely malnourished. A 19-year-old daughter was 4-foot-1 and weighed 56 pounds.
there you go again with your ideological bluster. no one here is going to defend anyone who does shit like that.
Die!!!!!!!
Of course, you know, the more you reply to it, the longer it will live on, lingering near the top of the thread list.
Maybe you can kill it and it will become a zombie thread. If that happens, aim for the head.
L.A. County supervisors demand report on child torture case; a third woman is arrested
Officials want to know why the plight of a boy allegedly beaten and burned went undetected for so long.
By Andrew Blankstein and Ari B. Bloomekatz, Los Angeles Times
Los Angeles County supervisors on Tuesday demanded an immediate investigation into why a 5-year-old South Los Angeles boy suffered "unbearable" abuse for two years without detection by authorities or social service agencies.
And, on the same day, Los Angeles police announced the arrest of a third suspect in the case -- a 26-year-old babysitter who they say disfigured the boy's hands by burning them on a stove.
Police say that La Tanya Monikue Jones also conspired with the boy's mother, Starkeisha Brown, 24, and her live-in girlffriend, Krystal Denise Matthews, 21, to hide the abuse.
Brown and Matthews were each formally charged Tuesday with one count of torture and conspiracy, as well as other charges of child abuse, corporal injury to a child and dissuading a witness. They were scheduled to be arraigned Tuesday in Compton, but the hearing was moved to June 25. Brown's and Matthews' bail were set at $1.1 million and $1.08 million, respectively.
The two are expected to plead not guilty, and each faces up to 25 years to life in prison if convicted.
