Fluff n’ Stuff

Amanda Rogers, as she likes to call herself, describes herself as

a freelance investigative journalist from Phoenix,AZ.

She is a human rights, civil rights, and child safety advocate, as well as a political ball buster. Amanda is the author of numerous articles and video blogs. Her articles and editorials have been published in news magazines both nationally and across the globe

Amanda writes for American Chronicle, an online tabloid type website. She’s also on the board of SoClear a pro sex offender rights organization which describes her this way:

Fed up with the barrage of blatantly unconstitutional and ineffective legislation regarding sex offenders and so-called “child protection”, Ms. Rogers has made it her mission to educate the public on the truth behind the headlines: To cut through the hype and spin to bring you the facts, un-tethered by political bias, affiliations, or agendas. It is only through truths, however painful, infuriating or embarrassing that real discussion on these issues can begin and effective changes be made.

Amanda believes that society is demonizing sex offenders. She believes we are mistreating them. She believes we are thus endangering children. She is an activist. Her issue is to reform sex offender laws. She supports the petition we wrote about HERE.

Amanda claims that that only 3% of sex offenders recidivate. She bases that on the 1994 DOJ report regarding recidivism rates of sex offenders. Then, in typical Lindsay Ashford style, she subtracts the number of those offenders in that study who were reconvicted within a 3 year period from 100% and erroneously concludes that it must mean 97% of sex offense cases are committed by someone never before convicted of a sex crime. WA LA She’s using this insane conclusion to promote abolishment of sex offender registries, life imprisonment sentences and age of consent laws.

When we very helpfully pointed out to her that studies done over a much longer period of time found that the offender didn’t typically start to re-offend until 5 years post release from prison, which would actually make this DOJ statistic a moot point, she very typically deleted our comments and proceeded to harass a CSA survivor. Wouldn’t want people to know the truth now would she?

Amanda wants this

Abolish all provisions of state and Federal sex offender registries.. There should be no internet or other public posting of the identity, photograph, address, workplace or personal information of any offender

Whose side is she on again? She believes you don’t have a right to know that Joe next door raped a 5 year old child………when you have a 5 year old child.

She also makes note, as do all these activists that there are very few sex crimes committed by those on the sex offender registry and in some insane twist of logic concludes that WA LA we don’t need one. Whereas I’m saying it may just be working. In cases where the offender was registered but they weren’t adequately followed by law enforcement, she concludes that we are wasting money on the SOR, whereas I believe we need to invest more money into it and ensure that all agencies have the staff and resources they need.

At one point she becomes so bold as to say that the reason for widespread under-reporting of child sexual abuse is because people know that bad stuff is gonna happen when they report it. For example prison sentences, SOR, possibly the breadwinner being removed from the home. Whereas if there were no punishment for sex offenders and it wasn’t something required by law to be reported, well then the victim could just gently guide the offender on down to the corner therapist and WA LA problem would be solved. She doesn’t understand sex offenders much does she?

I should say not. But I would like to ask her why she blames Adam Walsh’s mother for the actions of the man who cut off Adam’s head. And why she blames the family of Christopher Barrios and the entire system for the actions of the gruesome twosome who raped and murdered him while that hag looked on getting her jollies.

“Little Christopher paid the price for this ill thought out legislation with his very life. It is the opinion of this writer that lawmakers have just as much blood on their hands as the Edenfields themselves”

She refers to Mark Klass, Mark Lundsford, John Walsh as the flock of vultures. And addressing the issue of Megan Kanka (Megans Law) and the man who raped and murdered her (a convicted sex offender) she says that law enforcement knew he was dangerous and yet they let him out anyway. Well oh me oh my, if you really feel that way Amanda, why do you support doing away with all life imprisonment sentences for sex offenders? Why?

Why are you addressing the parents of murdered children with scorn and hostility in your voice? Why are you trying to dig up dirt on them? You wouldn’t be the judgmental type now would you? You wouldn’t be one to try and legislate morality now would you? You wouldn’t make a statement like: “The common thread with all of these cases is that the parents were living less than, shall we say, good moral lifestyles…..” And why are you blaming everyone, everyone for the deaths of Dylan Groene, Jessica Lunsford, Megan Kanka, Adam Walsh, Carly Brucia, and Danielle Van Dam except the men who actually committed the acts? Yes, Amanda, as parents we have to take care of our children, but when you said:

“This world is not your babysitter”

All I could think was……..Am I my brother’s keeper? And in this case, Amanda, yes yes yes I am. When it comes to children we all are. If you don’t agree then I would imagine you perhaps have ulterior motives for this cause of yours?

Amanda believes that teenagers are the victims in this modern day hysterical witch hunt. To solve that problem she supports this:

De-criminalize all consensual sexual activities among teenagers

She draws no line. A 19 year old 11 month and 29 day old person would be exempt from being prosecuted for having sex with a 13 year old and 1 day old child. Oh! But she did use the word consensual. As if she believes the 13 year old is capable of making a rational decision about sexual activity with the 19/20 year old. I guess she does believe it.

But on the other hand she DID say she was against pedophiles and so I’m just scratching my head here. WTF? Because you see what this petition says is

Stop public vilification and demonization of sex offenders. Oppose the use in the media or by public officials of obviously pejorative language with regard to offenders. Use of the term “pedophile” should be extremely limited and accurate. Children should be defined as persons under the age of puberty.

Ok, there is the definition of child that she supports. But then how do you explain this?

Support broad sex education for children, and empower them to make their own decisions and stand up for their rights

THAT right there is an advocation for abolishment of age of consent laws, and the typical pedophile movement’s modus operandi. Turn it on the child. Make THEM responsible for what the adults want to do to them.

And like we said before, this reform petition is about removing all punishments for sex offenders, placing the responsibility for CSA on the child, and removing restrictions for pedophiles. I think Amanda’s a malicious LIAR whose attempts to manipulate public opinion with false propaganda are on the lines of reckless endangerment.

And they call us ignorant and uneducated? Well, Amanda did. But then I think she has more hair than brains. In fact I just call her fluff n’ stuff.

Jan Elizabeth Kruska describes herself as

a freelance journalist from Phoenix, Arizona U.S.A.

She is the author of numerous articles, live concert reviews, and musician interviews which have been published both nationally and internationally. Jan also does live concert photography which helps to bring the stories and reviews together for both readers and fans.

Please see her website for more information and concert photos at http://www.rhythmnation.biz

Jan Kruska is a registered sex offender herself you see. Jan is Amanda. Jan has ulterior motives behind her numerous pro sex abuse articles, and her website and her organization of the rally in Miami and her support of this horrendous excuse for a petition that claims it is “part of the effort to support the happiness, well-being and freedom of children”

I did find it quite interesting that this petition which states:

We call on those who agree with us to sign our Call publicly, with full disclosure of real identity

And Jan did that. Yes indeed she did. The strange thing is that she also signed Amanda’s name. You know, the Amanda who doesn’t even exist?

I don’t know about you, but I would sort of think that a reformed sex offender wouldn’t stoop to lying now would they? And if they did…..which activities of theirs should we believe in and which ones should we question? As for me I don’t believe anything she has to say.

Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 , pointless?

Yes, you read that title correctly, “Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006 , pointless?” Really I should be phrasing that as a statement, but I decided to do it as a question, in order to allow you a chance to ponder it over and come to a conclusion yourself.

If you recall, I recently wrote about Kenneth Hopson, the father of two young girls who was convicted of having 130 images and movies, all child porn depicting sexual abuse of young girls. Some around the same age as his own daughters, some just toddlers. Gloucester Circuit Judge William H. Shaw III sentenced him to …. ONE year. Yep, just one. To make this story even more startling, Gloucester Circuit Judge William H. Shaw III is also handling the divorce in this case, which will most likely effect visitation with his children. I can only begin to fear the way that will turn out- as Shaw clearly doesn’t see the danger Hopson poses to children- including his own.

The reason I bring this case up, is because believe it or not we have introduced and accepted into law the Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act of 2006, which in Federal cases requires a minimum sentence. But, what good does it do if the States do not back the law? If you have charges in a state case, then that Law means nothing. It doesn’t help ensure that these dangerous people are locked away, it does nothing. NOTHING.

Before you start to think that this case is a lone case, and that situations like this rarely happen, you might want to take a closer look.

An Avon man who had been found with scores of images of child pornography on his computer and videos of children being violently raped has avoided prison time.
Edward J. Burke III, 47, was given a suspended sentence last week after going into a courtroom expecting to spend up to four years behind bars.
Burke, 47, of Avon, was convicted in a plea deal of two counts of first-degree possession of child pornography.
Prosecutor John F. Fahey told Judge Thomas P. Miano that Burke had 141 photo images and two videotapes of known child victims on a home computer. The victims ranged in age from toddlers to prepubescent children.
Fahey and Burke’s defense lawyer, John D. Maxwell, had worked out a deal that called for Burke to receive up to four years in prison, five years’ probation, and mandatory sex offender registration for 10 years.
But the agreement gave Maxwell the right to argue for a completely suspended prison sentence, which was granted by Superior Court Judge Thomas J. Miano.

Different case, different judge, even worse outcome.

Burke will spend NO time in jail. Again, the courts deemed him a low risk and deemed the protection of children from this scum bag “just not worth it”. I’m amazed they even had the willingness to take it to trial, or even arrest him for that matter. What a complete waste of time, and how dare the rest of us sit here shocked that yet another sexual predator has been handed a lollipop and sent on his merry way.

For more interesting tid bits on this case, see Steve Huff’s post on it... he’s picked up a few interesting facts on Miano.

And I pose the question, is the Adam Walsh Child Protection Act pointless? Seeing as how individual States have decided to reward child porn criminals rather than punish them? Can we rely on these laws to protect us when they only apply to Federal cases?

Tolerance is not an option

Jessica’s Law, Proposition 83, Megan’s Law, Dylan’s Law, Adam Walsh Child Protection & Safety Act all of these enacted and/or proposed laws came about due to a heinous act and the death of a child.

We all feel revulsion when we learn of these acts of atrocity. It sickens us, we feel pain in our hearts for what the child went through and we empathize with the victims survivors.

But imagine for a moment that it were your child…….difficult isn’t it? And while we would never wish any of these things on anyone….we’re still glad that it’s not our own when we hear of it.

We look at them, our children, with wonder. They, whom we love like no other, are our treasures. We know that no one will ever hurt our children. No, not ours. Why?

Because it would be too much to bear. It would be beyond our comprehension to even imagine it. And yet, those things do happen, have happened and will continue to happen until we put a stop to it. Until we say:

NO MORE!
ABSOLUTE ZERO TOLERANCE!
ONE STRIKE AND YOU’RE OUT!
NO EXCUSES!

You who would harm a child, you who would even think of it, you who steal children’s underwear and photos from family albums, you who produce child pornography, distribute it, or possess it, you who fantasize about toddlers and babies, you who molest children and call it love, you who spread your filth around the internet and encourage your ‘brothers’….your time is up. You can either get back into that toybox you crawled out of or pay the consequences. Tolerance is not an option.
