“It’s significant and shocking that so many people in our country are interested in watching children being raped and in certain cases tortured,” – Sweden

Why are whites obsessed with child pornography? Have they no other values?

Every day 20,000 to 30,000 attempts by Swedes to enter child pornography sites are blocked, according to the latest figures from the police, who say that filters introduced in April are working.

Between 80% and 90% of child porn web sites are blocked by the filters, reported Svenska Dagbladet, after a joint operation by the police, the organisation Ecpat, which works against child prostitution and pornography, and several internet service providers.

There are around 1,100 web sites on the police’s blacklist. Anyone who tries to access them is shown a “barrier page” instead, which prevents the user from going any further.

The number of attempts to access the sites is usually highest at the weekends.

“Since we have never had filters before we had no idea of how many people were looking for these sorts of sites. It’s interesting that such a high number are trying to do so,” said Annethe Ahlenius at the police’s child pornography unit, to SvD.

The figures for the number of blocks do not, however, reveal precisely how many individuals are attempting to access the sites.

One persistent person could account for many attempts, and the number could include people who inadvertently stumble across the pages.

Nevertheless, the figures are “grotesque”, said Ecpat’s general secretary Helena Karlén.

“It’s significant and shocking that so many people in our country are interested in watching children being raped and in certain cases tortured,” she said to SvD.

Trial Starts for German Neo-Nazi Killer Of Pregnant Egyptian Woman

What is truly disturbing and despicable are the number of whites supporting the murder of this woman and her unborn child. Will justice be done?

 

The killing of Marwa el-Sherbini provoked outrage among Muslims for its sheer brutality and brazenness. According to witnesses, the pregnant mother was stabbed to death in front of a courtroom full of people in Germany by a man with an apparently deep-seated hatred of Muslims. Thousands marched in Egypt, Iran and other Muslim countries against what they perceived as a disturbing rise of Islamophobia and racism in Germany, as well as the scant attention the attack received in the German media.

Now, four months later, the trial of el-Sherbini’s alleged killer is being closely watched by Muslims across the world — not to mention Germany’s four-million-strong Muslim community — amid fears that anything but a severe punishment for the defendant, an unemployed Russian émigré identified only as Alex W., could spark more unrest. In Egypt, where el-Sherbini has been dubbed by the media as the “headscarf martyr,” people are expecting “justice to be administered in a swift way,” Ramzy Ezzeldin Ramzy, Egypt’s ambassador to Germany, told Al-Jazeera.

The trial began Monday in exactly the same courthouse in Dresden where the killing took place. The 28-year-old defendant wore a cap, a dark blue hooded top and sunglasses to conceal his face as he was led into the courtroom flanked by police officers and seated behind a screen of bulletproof glass. Prosecutors then described how el-Sherbini, 31, was attacked. The pharmacist had appeared in court on July 1 to testify in a hearing against Alex W., who was appealing an earlier conviction for defaming el-Sherbini by calling her an “Islamist” and a “terrorist” on a playground. Prosecutors say that after el-Sherbini’s testimony, Alex W. lunged at her with a seven-inch kitchen knife he had smuggled into court and stabbed her at least 16 times. Her husband, Elwy Okaz, 32, was also repeatedly stabbed before being shot by a policeman who mistook him for el-Sherbini’s attacker. El-Sherbini, who was three months pregnant at the time, bled to death in front of the couple’s 3-year-old son.

Okaz was back in court on Monday, walking with the help of crutches after having undergone two operations. “We wanted to leave the court and then he attacked her,” Okaz said in a calm voice, recalling the incident. “When I saw that he had a knife, I tried to get it off him. He continued stabbing my wife even when she was lying on the ground.” Okaz said their son was meant to be in kindergarten on the day of the attack but he was ill. “Marwa wanted to take him to the doctor after the hearing. The little boy misses her and he’s suffering a lot,” Okaz testified.

Alex W., who emigrated from Russia in 2003 and was granted German citizenship because he had distant ethnic roots to the country, faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if convicted of murder and attempted murder. Prosecutors say he had been motivated by a deep-rooted racism. “He stabbed [the couple] out of pure hatred against non-Europeans and Muslims. He wanted to kill them,” prosecutor Frank Heinrich told the court Monday.

Surprisingly, the killing was scarcely reported in Germany, which caused massive embarrassment for Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government when the story made headlines across the Muslim world. Following the demonstrations in Egypt, Merkel expressed her condolences to Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak on the sidelines of the G-8 summit in Italy in July. Given the outcry over the lack of publicity before, Alex W.’s trial is now receiving extensive coverage in the country. German political leaders are also nervously watching the proceedings. “Politicians regarded the murder of Marwa el-Sherbini as a foreign policy issue, but it was really an internal matter,” Ali Kizilkaya, the head of the Islamic Council of Germany, tells TIME. “The case shows that a small part of German society is Islamophobic and that shouldn’t be underestimated. Politicians have to learn that Muslims must be recognized as an equal part of German society.” He added, though, that he has faith in the German justice system and he’s confident there will be a fair judgment in the case.

If not, some fear a possible repeat of the riots that swept the Muslim world following the publication of cartoons lampooning the Prophet Muhammad several years ago in Denmark. After death threats against Alex W. were reportedly posted on the Internet, Dresden authorities imposed extra security measures for the duration of the trial. Roads around the courthouse have been closed off and 200 police officers will stand guard until a verdict is reached, which is expected to be on Nov. 11. With tensions running high, German authorities aren’t taking any chances this time.

The “Capitol Crossroads Gay Rodeo Association” Dance Naked In Front Of Children

Bareback Mountain…

WILTON, Calif. (CBS13) ― A Wilton man is upset over a naked barn dance near his home that, he says, happened within clear view of children. He captured the dirty dancing on home video.

The party was held over the weekend in a field that will soon be full of Christmas trees. But on Saturday, the field was home to a completely different type of celebration.

The home video shows a group called “The Capitol Crossroads Gay Rodeo Association” at play. Dance contestants’ names were called out as men’s bare buns and frontal regions are exposed.

Monty Stanley shot the video. He says he could see all the nudity from his home across the street.

“They were dancing under the stars,” said Stanley. “You can’t have man on man, woman on woman, men on women; you can’t subject these children to looking at that kind of stuff.”

Stanley says the night of the dance his kids had neighborhood friends over for the night.

“I was sickened by seeing men on public display there…in clear view of children,” said Stanley.

The gay men’s group had a legal permit for the event. Star Weubbe owns the Christmas tree lot land they rented, but says she didn’t know naked dancing would be involved.

“That was something that I certainly would not have permitted,” said Weubbe.

The barn dance has turned into the talk of this small Wilton town.

“I look at it if it happened anywhere else in town, somebody would be in jail for a felony for exposing themselves to children,” said Stanley.

Was this a case of public indecent exposure? The Sacramento County Sheriff’s department says it’s unclear. Could the naked eye have seen the naked men from the roadway? That would be the key to any prosecution.

Indians Beat Up Racist Australian Thugs

We do not endorse any sort of violence, but Indians do have a right to defend themselves from racist thugs while Australian authorities do nothing.

Two locals, who allegedly abused a group of Indians and vandalised their car, were bashed up by them here, police said on Monday.

The incident took place at a carpark outside Meadowglen International Athletics Stadium in Epping when a local skateboarder damaged the rear window of a car belonging to an Indian.

The skateboarder also used the abusive language against some Indians who were coming out of the stadium where a Kabaddi match had ended on Sunday night.

“Associates of the people, whose car was damaged, came to their assistance. Two men were assaulted and hit with sticks in the brawl. These two injured men were from the group outside who had allegedly started to verbally abuse the people from the vehicle,” police said in a statement.

The two men, aged 25 and 42, were taken to Northern Hospital with minor injuries, they said. However, no arrests have been made and the incident was under investigations, police told PTI.

“A lot of people were leaving, the presentations were on at the time, I spoke to one of the boys that was there and he said a guy had smashed the rear window of a car that was leaving,” Councillor from the City of Darebin Tim Singh, who was present at the medal presentations ceremony for Kabaddi tournament, was quoted as saying by the media.

Hotel owner tells Hispanic workers to change names

Why do whites refuse to assimilate? Maybe he should change his name to Pancho. (Hat tip : Native American)

TAOS, N.M. – Larry Whitten marched into this northern New Mexico town in late July on a mission: resurrect a failing hotel.

The tough-talking former Marine immediately laid down some new rules. Among them, he forbade the Hispanic workers at the run-down, Southwestern adobe-style hotel from speaking Spanish in his presence (he thought they’d be talking about him), and ordered some to Anglicize their names.

No more Martin (Mahr-TEEN). It was plain-old Martin. No more Marcos. Now it would be Mark.

Whitten’s management style had worked for him as he’s turned around other distressed hotels he bought in recent years across the country.

The 63-year-old Texan, however, wasn’t prepared for what followed.

His rules and his firing of several Hispanic employees angered his employees and many in this liberal enclave of 5,000 residents at the base of the Sangre de Cristo mountains, where the most alternative of lifestyles can find a home and where Spanish language, culture and traditions have a long and revered history.

“I came into this landmine of Anglos versus Spanish versus Mexicans versus Indians versus everybody up here. I’m just doing what I’ve always done,” he says.

Former workers, their relatives and some town residents picketed across the street from the hotel.

“I do feel he’s a racist, but he’s a racist out of ignorance. He doesn’t know that what he’s doing is wrong,” says protester Juanito Burns Jr., who identified himself as prime minister of an activist group called Los Brown Berets de Nuevo Mexico.

The Virginia-born Whitten had spent 40 years in the hotel business, turning around more than 20 hotels in Texas, Oklahoma, Florida and South Carolina, before moving with his wife to Taos from Abilene, Texas. He had visited Taos before, and liked its beauty. When Whitten saw that the Paragon Inn was up for sale, he jumped at it.

The hotel sits along narrow, two-lane Paseo del Pueblo, where souped-up lowriders radiate a just-waxed gleam in the soft sunshine as they cruise past centuries-old adobe buildings. One recent afternoon, a woman slowly rode her fat-tire bicycle along a cracked sidewalk, oversized purple butterfly wings on her back and a breeze blowing her long, blonde dreadlocks.

The community includes Taos Pueblo, an American Indian dwelling inhabited for over 1,000 years, and an adobe Catholic church made famous in a Georgia O’Keeffe painting.

After he arrived, Whitten met with the employees. He says he immediately noticed that they were hostile to his management style and worried they might start talking about him in Spanish.

“Because of that, I asked the people in my presence to speak only English because I do not understand Spanish,” Whitten says. “I’ve been working 24 years in Texas and we have a lot of Spanish people there. I’ve never had to ask anyone to speak only English in front of me because I’ve never had a reason to.”

Some employees were fired, Whitten says, because they were hostile and insubordinate. He says they called him “a white (N-word).”

Fired hotel manager Kathy Archuleta says the workers initially tried to adjust to his style. “We had already gone through four or five owners before him, so we knew what to expect,” Archuleta says. “I told (the workers) we needed to give him a chance.”

Then Whitten told some employees he was changing their Spanish first names. Whitten says it’s a routine practice at his hotels to change first names of employees who work the front desk phones or deal directly with guests if their names are difficult to understand or pronounce.

“It has nothing to do with racism. I’m not doing it for any reason other than for the satisfaction of my guests, because people calling from all over America don’t know the Spanish accents or the Spanish culture or Spanish anything,” Whitten says.

Martin Gutierrez, another fired employee, says he felt disrespected when he was told to use the unaccented Martin as his name. He says he told Whitten that Spanish was spoken in New Mexico before English. “He told me he didn’t care what I thought because this was his business,” Gutierrez says.

“I don’t have to change my name and language or heritage,” he says. “I’m professional the way I am.”

After the firings, the New Mexico chapter of the League of United Latin American Citizens, a national civil rights group, sent Whitten a letter, raising concerns about treatment of Hispanic workers. Whitten says he sent them a letter and posted messages on the hotel marquee, alleging that the group referred to him with a racial slur. LULAC denied the charge.

The messages and comments he made in interviews with local media, including referring to townsfolk as “mountain people” and “potheads who escaped society,” further enflamed tensions.

Taos Mayor Darren Cordova says Whitten wasn’t doing anything illegal. But he says Whitten failed to better familiarize himself with the town and its culture before deciding to buy the hotel for $2 million. “Taos is so unique that you would not do anything in Taos that you would do elsewhere,” he says.

Whitten grew subdued as a two-hour interview with The Associated Press progressed. He said he was sorry for the misunderstanding and insisted he has never been against any culture.

“What kind of fool or idiot or poor businessman would I be to orchestrate this whole crazy thing that’s costed me a lot of time, money and aggravation?” Whitten said.

Whitten should have dealt with the situation differently, especially in a majority Hispanic town, said 71-year-old Taos artist Ken O’Neil, while sipping his afternoon coffee on the town’s historic plaza.

“To make demands like he did just seems over the top,” he says. “Nobody won here. It’s not always about winning. Sometimes, it’s about what you learn.”

White Man Caught On Video Stripping And Masturbating Outside Teenage Girl’s Window

Not the smartest of peeping Toms

Brusly, Louisiana – Charles Kazmir, a 22-year-old Louisiana man has been arrested after he was caught on security camera looking into a teenage girl’s bedroom window – naked and masturbating.

According to Brusly Police, Kazmir was identified after the family of the young girl obtained surveillance video that captured him without pants outside their daughter’s bedroom window.

Investigators say the teens’ parents caught onto Kazmir’s activities when he assembled bricks outside her window to step on while peering into her room. Each time the bricks were put in their original place, Kazmir would reportedly stack them up again, prompting the girl’s parents to install a surveillance camera.

“this is to me more than a peeping tom, to take it to that level,” said police spokesperson Jamie Whaley. “He was stripped down, totally getting nude in the photos and touching himself.”

Kazmir was booked into jail on 7 counts of criminal trespass, obscenity, voyeurism, peeping tom and criminal mischief.

White Man Charged With Raping 12 Year Old Daughter

Keeping it all in the Nascar family…

CHARLOTTE – A North Carolina man charged in the abduction of his two adopted daughters, including a 12-year-old pregnant girl, is now facing rape and incest charges.

Matthew Hess, 40, is charged with indecent liberties with a child, first-degree rape and felony incest between near relatives.

The suspect and his adopted daughters were part of an Amber Alert that was issued last week. The children were located and are now safe.

The man is already charged with child neglect and two counts of contributing to the delinquency of a minor.

The girls’ mother reported them missing last month when the 12-year-old failed to show for a doctor’s appointment. The Tennessee Highway Patrol said troopers arrested the man last week.

British Nazi Leader Nick Griffin bombs on BBC

They don’t make Nazis like they used to…

BNP activists rounded on Nick Griffin yesterday over his car-crash performance on Question Time – playing their own part in the fascist bigot’s downfall.

They joined in condemnation of the far-Right party leader’s vile TV outpourings.

A poll taken after his appearance showed the extremist would still be snubbed by voters. Around two-thirds of people questioned said they would not vote BNP “under any circumstances”. Only seven per cent in the YouGov poll of 1,314 people said they would “definitely” or “possibly” back them.

Griffin, 50, vowed to complain about the BBC show, saying he’d faced a “lynch mob”. But BNP press officer John Walker admitted: “I’d say anyone opposed to the BNP will be feeling very smug.”

More than 8.2million viewers watched Griffin’s squirming performance on BBC1’s flagship debate show.

Sitting in the studio audience, Khush Kumar, 38, was cheered as he suggested a whip-round to send Griffin and his supporters to the “colourless” South Pole.

Anguish … Khush Kumar

Financial services firm boss Khush said: “Seeing smug Griffin sitting there I just boiled over.”

Choking back tears, anguished Khush yesterday told how his dad was KNIFED by a race-hate nut as fellow members of the studio audience joined him in saying they were proud to expose the BNP leader as a tin-pot Nazi.

Khush revealed his postman father Gian-Chand Klare was only saved by his thick DUFFEL COAT after a racist knife thug stopped him in the street and asked the time.

Khush also told how his family previously found the dad bleeding on their Wolverhampton doorstep – victim of a racist mob.

He said: “I’ll never forget the night we heard him struggling to get his key in the door.

Hate victim … Khush’s dad

“He’d been ambushed on his way home by a gang of six or seven thugs. They beat him black and blue because he was Asian.

“He was taken to hospital. Police confirmed it had been a racial attack.”

Khush, who lives in West London, said his Indian immigrant father – who was 51 when he died ten years ago – shrugged off the attackers as “a tiny minority”.

He said: “He knew racists like Nick Griffin will never get a foothold in Britain.”

Black lawyer Nathaniel Ikeazor, 43, of Twickenham, West London – who also hurled a question from the audience – branded Griffin “slimy”. He said: “Just the fact he was sitting there on the panel on live TV wound me up.”

Beth Pritchard, 28, said after being confronted by the floundering fascist: “He is a nasty man with very unpleasant views.”

Proud … Nick Billey

The Tory-supporting bank clerk, who lives in South London with her civil partner of 2½ years Ellen Mellington, 29, said: “I’m glad he was asked to appear on the programme. It showed him in his true colours.”

Dad-of-two Nick Billey, also in Thursday night’s audience, said: “Griffin didn’t cope at all.”

The IT account manager, of St Albans, Herts, savaged the BNP leader as “poison” on the show. Nick said: “He was clearly shaking, fiddling with his papers and looking very uncomfortable.”

Griffin claimed the programme should not have been televised in London because the capital was “no longer British”.

He said it had been “ethnically cleansed” of “English and British people”. London mayor Boris Johnson scoffed that he was right to say the cosmopolitan capital was not his city. He vowed: “The BNP has no place here.”

Three times as many viewers as normal tuned into Question Time after 1,000 protesters besieged the Beeb’s West London HQ. Griffin had to be smuggled into Television Centre via a back door.

He crowed 3,000 had rushed to join his party thanks to the show. But John Walker – the BNP’s own press officer – admitted: “Anyone who was opposed to the BNP will be feeling very smug with themselves after last night.”

Griffin battled in vain to present himself as a MODERATE on the programme – declaring he was “the most loathed man in Britain” among Nazi sympathisers.

Yesterday far-Right websites were swamped with messages from disillusioned BNP voters. They accused him of being inept and “overawed”.

Former Home Secretary David Blunkett last night said the biggest fear was people feeling SORRY for the oaf – elected a Euro MP. He warned the BBC may have “played into Griffin’s hands by managing to create a victim out of a perpetrator”.

Gordon Brown phoned to thank Jack Straw for appearing on David Dimbleby’s Question Time panel – though the PM did not watch. The Justice Secretary was joined by Tory Baroness Warsi, Lib Dem Chris Huhne and writer Bonnie Greer.

BODY language expert Robert Phipps yesterday said he was “stunned” at how badly Griffin came across. He declared: “Everything about him screamed shifty and fake.”

America is the number one destination in the world for child sex trafficking

“Leave no child behind”

America is now the number one destination in the world for child sex trafficking, according to the State Department Bureau of Justice Statistics.

Sex trafficking of modern-day slaves is at an all-time high and larger U.S. cities are major markets for this illegal sex trade industry.

On Oct. 21 and 22, specialists from around the nation will convene in Tulsa to hold Oklahoma’s first Human Trafficking Awareness and Training Conference.

Law enforcement experts from the Federal Bureau of Investigations, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Marshals from Texas and the Department of Justice Prosecutors from Washington D.C. will be on hand conducting workshops and panel discussions.

Additionally, experienced psychiatrists, social workers and case workers will address treatment and care for victims of sex trafficking.

Recent findings from Law enforcement agencies, non-profit anti-trafficking organizations and Shared Hope International indicate that Houston is now the number one city for child sex trafficking, with Las Vegas and Atlanta ranking second and third.

According to FBI experts, traffickers are known to move their victims from state to state to avoid being detected.

“Our highway systems have become the new slave trade routes of these modern-day sex slaves,” said Mark Elam, of Oklahomans Against Trafficking Humans.

With Interstates 40 and 44 connecting the east and west coasts and I-35 connecting Mexico and Houston to northern cities, Oklahoma is right in the crossroads of this growing problem.

The conference, to be held at the Oral Roberts University Zoppelt Auditorium, will consist of a screening of “Call + Response,” a documentary created to expose the terrifying fact that there are more slaves today than ever before in human history.

The event will feature speakers like Theresa Flore, a victim who was sex trafficked while in high school, and sessions covering types of human trafficking in Oklahoma with FBI special agents discussing local problem areas.

Students seeking careers in social work and psychology can earn six hours of continuing education credits. The general public is also invited to attend so they can become aware of how traffickers are targeting American kids and grooming children online to become the next wave of victims.

White Mother Wanted One Son Dead, Got The Other To Do It

Sickening. What kind of family values are these?

TITUSVILLE – A 23-year-old Titusville mother charged with trying to kill her 11-month-old son so she could return to work will remain in Brevard County Jail, officials said today.

Christina Marie Mcintyre of Coleridge Drive was charged with attempted domestic felony murder, aggravated child abuse, child abuse and child neglect causing great bodily harm.

In a court hearing this afternoon, Mcintyre was denied bond in the attempted felony murder charge, but was granted bond of $50,000 each on the three remaining counts.

Titusville police said Mcintyre tried to smother the child earlier this month, even using the baby’s 2-year-old brother to do the job using a blanket and bean bag chair, but changed her mind and called 911 for help. Though she put the child up to it, she disciplined the 2-year-old later, police said.

During the Oct. 6 call, police said, Mcintyre waited about two minutes before telling the operator the child was not breathing and beginning a half-hearted attempt at cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Rescuers arrived moments later and revived the child. She reported the baby’s illness as apnea during the call.

About a week later, on Oct. 15, the state Department of Children and Families reported Mcintyre to police, claiming that during tests for apnea at several hospitals in Central Florida, doctors determined the child was fine and his mother was the cause of breathing problems.

In one procedure that was being videotaped, police said, Mcintyre interfered and may have harmed the baby again.

“Each time the mother reported the child was not breathing, she was either in front of the camera, or the camera caught part of the incident and showed there was nothing wrong with the child,” according to a police arrest report. “The victim was also attached to an apnea monitor, which showed no distress.”

Police said Mcintyre admitted she tried to kill the baby.

“The defendant explained that she wanted to go back to work, but could not afford day care for both kids,” according to the police report. “She stated that if the infant died, she could afford to put the older child in day care so she could work.”

Police said Mcintyre also admitted she exaggerated and fabricated the apnea incidents to doctors and hospitals as a cover for his breathing difficulties. She said she was afraid her children would be taken away, police said.

Medical records show he had four doctor appointments and three hospitalizations since Sept. 21 regarding apnea, police said. He also had numerous invasive tests, which prosecutors say amounted to aggravated child abuse.

Both children are in DCF custody.

White Pedophile Lures His Child Porn Victims With Drug-Laced Ice Cream

Yemeni execution methods sure sound good right about now…

Kansas City, Mo  – James Phillips Edwards, a 60-year-old Kansas City man was formally charged Wednesday after he allegedly gave sedative-laced ice cream to underage girls and then filmed them in pornographic poses while they were unconscious.

An investigation was opened on Edwards after he allegedly used a file-sharing program to download several images of child pornography. Investigators traced the source of the images to a computer registered to Edwards and obtained a search warrant.

Kansas City police entered Edwards’ home and seized his computer where they found images of at least eight girls who appeared to be unconscious. Some of the images were found in a file entitled “Consuming The Date Rape Drug”.

An investigation of that file revealed images and video that showed Edwards giving drinks and ice cream to the girls before they are shown apparently unconscious. Edwards appeared at several points in the video.

Police declined to say how many potential victims there were or how Edwards had gained access to them. Detectives in the case believe that all of the victims were accounted for and their current “safety has been confirmed”.

Edwards allegedly told investigators that he did not believe that he had done anything wrong. After his arrest, Edwards allegedly gave a videotaped statement to officials in which he stated that he had given Ambien to “multiple minor girls” ranging in age from 6 to 12.

Edwards was booked into jail on charges of advertising, possessing and attempting to distribute child pornography.

If convicted on all charges, Edwards could be sentenced to up to 30 years in prison on the advertising child pornography charge, up to 20 years on the attempted distribution charge and up to 10 years on the possession charge.

Prosecutors also noted that a second case involving distribution and receipt of child pornography — unrelated to the investigation that led to Wednesday’s indictment — is being pursued by another, unidentified law enforcement agency.

White men charged for raping horses, again.

How many times must an animal be sexually abused by whites before the law takes the matter seriously? (hat tip : dfi)

A man who allegedly videotaped a friend having sex with a horse at a farm in Washington state in 2005 is now accused of performing sex acts with a horse in Tennessee.

James Tait, 58, was arrested and charged Thursday with three counts of felony animal cruelty. Kenny Thomason, 44, the farm owner who lives with Tait in a Nashville suburb, was charged with two counts of the same crime.

“This is one of the most upsetting days I’ve ever dealt with,” Maury County Sheriff Enoch George said Friday, according to the Columbia Daily Herald.

Tait and Thomason were each being held on more than $100,000 bail.

According to an arrest warrant, Tait engaged in sex acts with a stud horse at the Double Branch Road farm over a span of several months.

A complaint from a citizen prompted an investigation. The person e-mailed investigators a photo of a man who appeared to be having sex with a Shetland pony.

Authorities went to the property, which Detective Terry Chandler said housed 13 horses, Shetland ponies, goats and dogs.

The detective said that it appears that people had been having sex with ponies and dogs as well as the stud horse.

Capt. Jimmy Tennyson said authorities have recovered pictures of Tait engaging in the acts with the horse.

“More charges are coming. They’ve been having sex with full-grown horses,” Chandler told The Seattle Times on Monday. “He [Tait] has been here for four years and it looks like it has been going on for some time.”

Fatal horseplay
In 2005, Tait was identified by police as having videotaped his friend Kenneth Pinyan having sex with a horse at a farm in Enumclaw, Wash., about 40 miles south of Seattle. Pinyan eventually died from internal injuries he suffered from having sex with the equine, authorities said.

Sheriff’s investigators in King County, Wash., found about 100 pornographic videos depicting Tait and others performing sex acts with animals, including the fatal incident, said Sgt. John Uruquhart.

But there were no Washington laws against bestiality at the time and there wasn’t sufficient evidence the horse had been injured.

Tait was charged with criminal trespassing. He entered an Alford plea, meaning he did not admit guilt but acknowledged a jury likely would convict him. He was sentenced to one year of probation and fined $300.

After the incident, the Washington Legislature passed a law making bestiality a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and a $10,000 fine.

The Enumclaw case was the subject of the recent documentary “Zoo” by Seattle filmmaker Robinson Devor.

White Man Jailed After Committing Lewd Act Inside Louisiana Courthouse

He’ll probably get off with a stiff fine..

Opelousas, Louisiana – Frank Lahay, a 28-year-old Louisiana man was arrested after he was caught masturbating inside the St. Landry Parish Courthouse.

According to Opelousas Police, Lahay was caught on surveillance camera masturbating inside the St. Landry Parish Courthouse.

Investigators say Lahay was in a public hallway of the courthouse when he began masturbating in full view of the passing public. Lahay was fully exposed, using his baggy shirt to cover himself when people passed by. He was then caught on a second surveillance camera masturbating in a chair.

The alleged act continued for over an hour before a secretary realized what Lahay was doing. She alerted a supervisor who reportedly chased the man down as he attempted to flee the courthouse.

Lahay was booked into jail on charges of committing a lewd act and public indecency.

Doctor guilty of spiking pregnant lover’s drinks

Can’t you just feel the love?

A married doctor was today found guilty of twice trying to induce a miscarriage in his pregnant lover by lacing her drinks with a cocktail of prescription drugs.

Dr Edward Erin, 44, tried to poison his hospital secretary when she told him she was carrying his child after a brief affair that followed a Christmas party.

Bella Prowse, 33, told the Old Bailey that she found a yellow powder at the bottom of her cup of Earl Grey soon after telling him that she had decided to have their baby.

Ms Prowse, who was in the public gallery today, sobbed as she waited for the verdicts and buried her head in her lap. Her friends clapped when the guilty verdicts were announced.

Erin, who has a Phd in Pharmacology, claimed that his lover had concocted the mixture of drugs herself because she wanted to abort the baby but the prosecution claimed that Erin had tried to drug Ms Prowse’s drinks on three occasions in February last year.

He was found guilty of one charge of attempting to spike Ms Prowse’s Starbucks coffee and another of trying to do the same to some orange juice. But the jury found him not guilty of spiking her Earl Grey tea and could not reach a verdict on a charge of procuring drugs to induce an abortion.

Ms Prowse, 33, from Brixton, South London, gave birth to a healthy baby boy in September 2008.

Detective Chief Inspector Mickey Gallagher, said: “Edward Erin is a consultant physician, pharmacologist and honorary senior lecturer. He has been a medical professional for over 20 years, yet having failed to persuade his girlfriend, Bella Prowse, to have an abortion, he has abused his profession and position of trust, used his medical knowledge to try and bring on a miscarriage.

“This was not a morality trial, but the nature of this case in unusual in that it is only the second of it type to be brought before the courts in the last 40 years. Erin has been judged on evidence and the jury have applied good sense and fairness.”

Erin, a respiratory specialist at St Mary’s Hospital, Paddington, was remanded in custody until November 16 for sentencing.

Ms Prowse, who has a 13-year-old daughter from a previous relationship, said they began an affair after the office Christmas party on December 20, 2007. But by January 21 last year, she found out she was pregnant. Erin tried to persuade her to have an abortion, but she cancelled two appointments.

She wiped away tears and sobbed as told the court that had regretted an earlier abortion in 2002.

Ms Prowse said: “He said we could not have a baby. He was not ready to have a baby. He said he wanted us to have a future and that he loved me. He wanted to take me climbing and he wanted to take me skiing and this would ruin it.”

After she cancelled the first abortion clinic appointment, he had become really upset. “He was begging me and crying,” she said.

After telling him of her final decision, he went over to her south London home.

The next morning, she woke up to find him sitting up in bed. He had told her he had not slept and asked if she wanted a drink.

She said: “Ed came into the bedroom with a cup of tea and gave it to me.”

When she queried sediment she found at the bottom of the cup, he rinsed it through and told her it was scale from her kettle.

That night, Erin’s wife, Dr Lowri Erin, a microbiologist, saw him crushing tablets in their kitchen but thought nothing of it when he said it was for work.

A week later, Ms Prowse had become suspicious when they met for coffee and she noticed the lids of the cups had been removed and replaced.

She poured the coffee into a bottle without drinking it.

The following day, Erin offered her a bottle of orange juice at work. She did not drink it when she noticed the seal was broken.

Police tests on the liquid uncovered traces of Methotrexate, Diclofenac and Misoprostol.

But Erin’s wife believed his pleas of innocence. Asked if she believed Ms Prowse’s claims, she said: “Absolutely no.”

“The fact that he had relationships with other women was not that important to me,” she said. “I do not know what a conventional relationship is. We loved each other.”

Before his affair with Ms Prowse, Erin had a relationship with Dr Malin Roesner, a specialist registrar, and a woman named Angela before that.

The Crown Prosecution Service will decide in the next week whether to ask for a retrial on the charge of procuring drugs to induce an abortion, which the jury could not agree on.

Erin had been banned from working with patients by the General Medical Council pending the outcome of the case.

Sheriff: Boy-in-balloon was hoax, charges expected

The things white people will do for attention…

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The story that a little boy had floated away in a giant helium balloon was a hoax concocted to land a reality television show, authorities said Sunday, and the boy’s parents will likely face felony charges.

The stunt two weeks in the planning was a marketing ploy by Richard and Mayumi Heene, who met in acting school in Hollywood and have appeared on the ABC reality show “Wife Swap,” Larimer County Sheriff Jim Alderden said. The Heenes have reportedly been working on a reality TV deal in Los Angeles.

Investigators are examining the possibility of other conspirators, “including the possibility that even some of the media outlets may have had some knowledge about this,” Alderden said.

Documents show that a media outlet has agreed to pay money to the Heenes with regards to the balloon incident, Alderden said. He didn’t name the media outlet, but said it was a show that blurs “the line between entertainment and news.” It wasn’t clear whether the deal was signed before or after the alleged hoax, or whether that media outlet was a possible conspirator.

Alderden did not name an outlet or provide any details.

“Let’s call it (my statement) short of speculation that a media outlet was in on the hoax, but let’s not discount the possibility,” he said.

Six-year-old Falcon Heene may not have even been hiding in the rafters of the family’s garage during the intense five-hour search for him Thursday, Alderden said.

“For all we know he may have been two blocks down the road playing on the swing in the city park,” the sheriff said.

The stunt temporarily shut down Denver International Airport and caused the National Guard to scramble two helicopters in an attempt to rescue the boy, who was believed to be inside the flying-saucer shaped homemade balloon that hurtled more than 50 miles across two counties.

The drama played out on live television to millions of viewers worldwide. When the balloon landed without the boy in it, officials thought he had fallen out and began grim search for his body.

In fact, the balloon — which was held together with duct tape — would not have been able to launch with the 37-pound-boy inside, Colorado State University physics professor Brian Jones has determined.

The parents weren’t under arrest, the sheriff said. He said he expected to recommend charges of conspiracy, contributing to the delinquency of a minor, making a false report to authorities and attempting to influence a public servant. Federal charges were also possible.

The most serious charges are felonies and carry a maximum sentence of six years in prison and a $500,000 fine. Alderden said they would be seeking restitution for the costs, though he didn’t have an estimate.

The cost for just the two military helicopters was about $14,500.

Richard and Mayumi Heene were shopping for snacks at Wal-Mart with their three sons as Alderden told reporters that the whole thing was a hoax.

Richard Heene told The Associated Press he was “seeking counsel.”

“This thing has become so convoluted,” Heene said as tears welled in his eyes. He said his wife was holding together better than he was.

The couple’s attorney, David Lane, issued a statement later Sunday saying the Heenes were willing to voluntarily turn themselves in to face charges. Lane said he advised the family against making public statements.

The sheriff said all three of the Heenes’ sons knew of the hoax, but likely won’t face charges because of their ages. The oldest son is 10. One of the boys told investigators he saw his brother get in the balloon’s box before it launched.

Heene, 48, a storm chaser and inventor, has described himself as an amateur scientist, but Alderden said Heene has only a high school education. He most recently earned a living by laying tile, the sheriff said.

“He may be nutty, but he’s not a professor,” Alderden said.

Alderden said that during the drama, the family’s actions led them to believe the story was genuine. But during an interview on CNN Thursday night, Alderden said investigators had an “aha” moment when Falcon turned to his dad and said what sounded like “you had said we did this for a show” when asked why he didn’t come out of his hiding place.

On Friday, Falcon got sick during two separate TV interviews when asked again why he hid.

Alderden said they didn’t question the family Friday because they wanted to keep the family’s cooperation by maintaining the appearance that they believed their story. Richard Heene was asked to stop by the sheriff’s office under the pretext that he needed to pick up his balloon, and was questioned once he got there.

With Heene gone, other investigators went to the house. Alderden said they were looking for computers, e-mails, phone records and financial records.

Records show that police have responded to the house at least twice in the past year, including a possible domestic violence incident in February. No charges were filed.

Alderden said officials tried Saturday to persuade Mayumi Heene, 45, to go to a safe house, but she declined.

“We talked to her at length about domestic violence, about her safety, about her children’s safety,” the sheriff said. “We have a concern, but we didn’t have enough that would allow us or child protective services to physically take the kids from that environment.”

Alderden said the children were still with the parents Sunday and that child protective services had been contacted to investigate the children’s well-being. On “Wife Swap,” Heene was portrayed as erratic, at one point throwing a glass of milk on a participant on the program.

“Clearly, from all indications, Mr. Heene has somewhat of a temper,” Alderden said.

As to the hoax that could end up with one or both in prison:

“It certainly got big and whether anybody realized it that it would get the type of international media attention, I suspect this is probably beyond what they thought,” Alderden said.

Alderden also said investigators wanted to talk to Robert Thomas, a Denver man who claimed Heene had told him he was planning a media stunt to promote a proposed reality show. Thomas, a self-described researcher, sold his story to the Web site Gawker.com, which billed it with the headline: “Exclusive: I Helped Richard Heene Plan a Balloon Hoax.”

Web site editor-in-chief Gabriel Snyder confirmed that the site paid Thomas for his story but declined to say how much it paid him. In an e-mail to The Associated Press, Snyder said editors there had not contacted the Heene family or offered them money for their story, referring to Alderden’s reference to a deal being struck by a media outlet.

“No, that wasn’t us,” Snyder said.

Thomas, 25, did not return a message left by the AP.

In a statement, Gawker.com described how Thomas told them the hoax was part of Heene’s plan to shop a proposed reality series billed as “Mythbusters-meets-mad scientist.” Thomas told the site that the plan called for releasing a flying-saucer shaped balloon to garner attention for the Heene family, the proposed show and UFOs.

Thomas said the plan he knew about did not involve the Heenes’ children.

The producers of “Wife Swap” in a statement said they had been working with the family on developing a show but weren’t anymore. It was unclear whether that proposed show was the same one Thomas said he was working on.

McCain’s bomb(s) on Twitter

I was not aware women had breasts. Conservatives sure have changed…methinks Ms.McCain doth protest a bit too much. Why do white woman do such things? Attention perhaps?

The daughter of Presidential candidate John McCain has sparked an internet storm by posting a saucy picture of herself on Twitter.

Meghan McCain is now threatening to leave the social networking site after the picture generated a wave of derogatory comments.

She posted the snap, which features her wearing a skimpy tank top leaving little to the imagination, to illustrate her decision to stay in and read a biography of Andy Warhol.

Relaxing at home: John McCain’s 24-year-old daughter Megan reveals her intention to stay in and read a biography about Andy Warhol

After a string of comments the 24-year-old wrote: ‘so I took a fun picture not thinking anything about what I was wearing but apparently anything other than a pantsuit and I am a s***’

She added: ‘When I am alone in my apartment I wear tank tops and sweat pants, I had no idea this makes me a s***. I can’t even tell you how hurt I am.’

The blonde repeated her threat to delete her Twitter account – which is followed by nearly 60,000 people – before promising to ‘sleep on it’ and thanking a select few for their messages of support.

She added: ‘I do want to apologize to anyone that was offended by my twitpic, I have clearly made a huge mistake and am sorry 2 those that are offended.’

Before signing off, McCain also left a link to her latest column for the website The Daily Beast.

Stupid White Inventions : Binge Drinking

“civilization” in action.

In full public view a drunken young man urinates over a city centre war memorial, soaking wreaths of poppies laid as a tribute to the dead.

It’s a shocking scene that will appall any person, even in a country where binge-drinking has become an accepted pastime for so many.

Ironically, it will come as no surprise to discover the man concerned is a 19-year-old university student who was taking part in an organized mass pub crawl in Sheffield.

Appalling: Philip Laing is caught urinating on a war memorial during the Carnage student bar crawl in Sheffield

During the course of the seven-hour drinking marathon there were all too familiar scenes of debauchery.

Scantily-clad women collapsed on the street, while young men dangerously ran through passing traffic oblivious to the dangers.

Around 2,000 university students took part in the Carnage UK event. Organised through a website by a private company, students paid £10 each to take part in the drinking session on Sunday night.

For their money they got an official T-shirt and access to all seven club and bar venues involved in the event.

As dozens of students in Sheffield were drinking themselves into oblivion similar scenes were taking place in Cardiff where around 3,000 university students took part in a Carnage UK event there.

Ashamed: Before urinating on Sheffield’s war memorial, Laing was in such a shocking state that he curled up for a sleep in front of a shop window

As the night progressed two people were taken away in ambulances and one was arrested by police in the Welsh capital for a nightclub assault on a woman.

Splashed across the back of the official t-shirt was a list of ‘tasks,’ including ‘have fun with a fresher, harass a steward and snog five randoms,’ which according to the event’s Facebook page needed to be fulfilled ‘by those getting in to the spirit of things.’

Many of the students were in fancy dress to adhere to the ‘doctors and nurses’ theme.

By the end of the night at least half of the students who stumbled out of Embrace nightclub in Sheffield city centre appeared worse the wear for drink.

Oblivious: Martin Murray, 19, dangerously runs through passing traffic in Sheffield

None more so than Philip Laing, 19, a sports technology student at Sheffield Hallam University.

At around midnight he was in such a shocking state that he curled up for a sleep in front of a shop window, only to be woken by a group of giggling girls. Laing then ran across the street, falling down and hitting his head on the pavement in the process.

He was then helped to his feet and walked over to the First World War memorial in Baker’s Pool where he urinated over the monument.

People in the area seemed oblivious to his actions. But the incident was reported to security staff who washed down the memorial with buckets of water. South Yorkshire Police said if he had been seen he would have received a fixed penalty fine.

Worse for wear: During the seven-hour bender in Cardiff, a scantily-clad girl collapses on the street

Laing at the time was in no fit state to comment, but his friend Ross White, 19, said: ‘It’s been a brilliant night so far. Every night’s a big night when you’re a student, we’ve got to get in amongst them, do you know what I mean?’

Another teenager said: ‘This is the biggest night of the year so you’ve got to make the most of it.’

By 2am the the street was littered with puddles of sick, discarded kebab wrappers, pieces of broken glass and the Carnage revellers who couldn’t make it home.

The memorial’s desecration was condemned by Russ Murray, general manager of the regional Royal British Legion.

Doctors and nurses theme: Many students needed medical attention during the Carnage bar crawl in Cardiff

He described the student’s actions as a ‘despicable act.’

He said: ‘Whether he has intentionally done it or not realised because of drink it is deplorable and outrageous.

‘There are people of his age who are currently serving in Afghanistan who have suffered as a result.

This is a war memorial and stands for the sacrifices people have given in the past and continue to do so today. Behaviour like this is appalling.’

Mass pub crawl: Carnage participants were given an official T-shirt and access to all clubs and bars involved

Today a now sober Mr Laing issued an apology through his university.

He said: ‘I am deeply ashamed of this photograph and I am sincerely sorry for my behaviour.

‘I didn’t realise how much alcohol I had consumed that night and also hadn’t eaten since lunchtime, which worsened the effect.

‘I have no recollection of the events in the photograph, although I recognise that this does not excuse my actions.

‘I apologise unreservedly for any offence I may have caused.’

Carnage UK is run by Birmingham-based Varsity Leisure Group Ltd. It operates similar events across the country, covering ‘45 student cities.’

Excessive drinking: It all gets too much for one fresher on the Cardiff pub crawl

Revellers: Around 2,000 students took part in the Carnage event in Sheffield

The company, headed by managing director Paul Bahia, 29, has faced criticism from student groups for being ‘irresponsible’ and there have been calls for such events to be banned.

The website warns students that ‘ID will be required at all venues’ and states that ‘Carnage encourages responsible drinking.’

Free soft drinks and discounted food is available to revellers, while guidelines advise those taking part to ‘drink in moderation and do not binge.’ It also insists the venues do not offer cut-price drinks promotions and unpaid stewards are on hand to ’supervise’ and monitor drinkers going from one venue to another.

Responsible drinking: Stewards escort the 2,000 students on the bar crawl

Debauchery: Thousands of freshers take part in the Carnage bar crawl in Cardiff

A statement from the Varsity Leisure Group said: ‘VLG has the greatest respect and admiration for all those who lost their lives in the defence of this country. It is appalled and saddened by anyone treating a monument to commemorate those people in a disrespectful manner.’

It added: ‘VLG’s events are managed very responsibly. VLG works hard and closely with local Police to ensure that the events take place without major incident.’

Alcohol poisoning: Gavin Britton died after a fresher’s pub crawl at Exeter University in 2006

Today Exeter University officials voiced their outrage over planned Carnage events in the city, where a student died following a binge-drinking session in 2006.

Business student Gavin Britton died on a pub crawl with the university’s golf society, just days after starting his course.

He was caught on camera the night he died standing on chairs and downing spirits – including one cocktail which contained twelve shots.

Gavin, of Barton-on-Sea, Hampshire, was found in the street still wearing his fancy dress costume.

The Carnage events are expected to take place on October 25 and November 15 in several pubs Gavin visited before his death.

Exeter Police Commander John Vellacott said: ‘We understand that Carnage UK is a legitimate company but we had a student die on a similar event.

‘Any kind of event that encourages and includes binge drinking to such an extent that medical attention is needed is not welcome.’

A spokesman for Exeter’s Student Guild added: ‘We in no way endorse this event. The message portrayed by the title and nature is not something we agree with.’

“F*** off, we’re full.” Violence mars Australia’s national day celebrations

..full of s*** considering Australia is one of the least populated countries in the world. Is such violent behavior to be expected since most of them are descendants of illegal immigrants and criminals from England?

Each January 26, Australians gather in parks and on beaches to celebrate all that is great about their country: mateship, sunshine, barbecues and free-flowing beer.

But this year, across the country’s most populous state, the day of national pride turned violent when groups of youths rampaged through suburbs targetting non-white shopkeepers in a display of racism that echoed the ugly scenes of the 2005 Cronulla riots.

In the affluent Sydney suburb of Manly, where hundreds of families had set up their picnics for the day, more than 100 shirtless young men draped in “Aussie pride” flags smashed car windows and vandalised shops

Carrying signs that read “—- off we’re full”, they paraded up and down the seafron threatening bypassers.

One 18-year-old Asian woman was injured when the gang smashed her car window, showering her in glass and causing several cuts to her arms.

There were also reports that the group attacked a taxi driven by an Indian Sikh and an Asian shopkeeper.

In scenes reminiscent of the Cronulla riots, when 5,000 white Australians congregated in the Sydney beachfront suburb and attacked Lebanese immigrants, groups of men jumped on cars that were stopped at traffic lights and chanted racist slogans to the terrified passengers.

At one point the gang was reportedly heard singing “lets go —- with these Lebs”.

Jean Hay, the mayor of Manly, said the youths came from the north-west of Sydney and were not Manly residents.

The unrest was brought under control by the late afternoon. Police charged a 16-year-old for assaulting police and three others were cautioned for offensive and dangerous behaviour.

The violence in Manly was mirrored in the coastal towns of Shellharbour to Sydney’s south and Port Macquarie to the north. Fights were also reported as far north as Queensland’s Gold Coast, where hundreds of teenagers clashed on a popular family beach.

White Weapon of Mass Extinction : Depleted Uranium

Where is the outrage?

Doctors in Iraq are recording a sharp rise in the number of cancer victims south of Baghdad. Sufferers in the province of Babil have risen almost tenfold in just three years.

Locals blame depleted uranium from US military equipment used in the 2003 invasion.

In this part of Iraq, 500 cases of cancer were diagnosed in 2004. That figure rose to almost 1,000 two years later.

In 2008, the number of cases increased sevenfold to 7,000 diagnoses. This year, there have so far been more than 9,000 new cases … and the number is rising.

White Woman Raped Son She Gave Up For Adoption

Possibly the most disturbing story we’ve ever posted here…

Michigan police say a 35-year-old mother used the Internet to track down the son she gave up for adoption a decade ago, seducing and raping the teenage boy when she found him after an online search.

Aimee Louise Sword of Waterford Township, near Detroit, was arraigned this week on three charges of criminal sexual conduct for the alleged rape of her biological son, whom she put up for adoption more than 10 years ago, MyFOXDetroit reported.

Prosecutors say the boy is still a minor, but won’t disclose whether he knew the woman was his mother — a situation that has horrified mental health experts who are calling the case “an abomination.”

“I don’t think I’ve heard of another case like this in my career,” said Dr. Gerald Shiener, chief of Consultation and Liaison Psychiatry at Sinai Grace Hospital in Detroit.

“Our first reaction to hearing about something like this is that this is every man’s nightmare. It’s an abomination,” he told MyFOXDetroit.

“I’m at a loss for words because it’s something that we consider to be so out of the normal, so prohibited in every culture that it unnerves every man just to think about it.”

Sword surrendered to Waterford Township police on April 24, the Oakland Press reported, but was freed on bond Wednesday following her arraignment. The house at her listed home address is abandoned.

Sword’s attorney Kenneth Burch told the Press that his client “maintains her presumption of innocence” and said the accusations of incest have been very difficult for her.

But Sword herself has spoken since she first was arrested, writing on her MySpace page that she was inspired by rapper and former jailbird Lil’ Kim because “she rises during the worst of obstacles.”

“Reminded me of myself,” Sword wrote on the Web page, where she uses the name Aimee Pope.

Though Sword is apparently confident of her ability to recover from the charges, Shiener, the psychiatric doctor, worries that if the allegations are true, the damage to the boy could be long-lasting.

“This could be his first sexual experience, and his first sexual experience could be something so conflicted, so unusual, so prohibited that it will stay with him for life,” Shiener said.

Former Houston funeral director charged with sexual abuse of corpse

So much for letting the dead rest in peace….

HOUSTON (KTRK) — A former funeral director is accused of a deeply disturbing crime. The district attorney says authorities uncovered shocking photos of him and a dead body.

While the pictures were allegedly taken several years before James Patton started working at Earthman Funeral Home, this latest incident of alleged corpse abuse may have happened as recently as September 2008. Today a spokesperson with Houston-based SCI, the company that owns Earthman, says when authorities first alerted them of the disturbing allegations, Patton was immediately removed from his position and the company.

Patton, 38, is charged with abuse of a corpse. The former funeral director at Earthman’s Hunter Creek chapel is accused of treating a human corpse in an offensive manner.

No one answered at Patton’s Montrose area apartment Monday afternoon. An unidentified woman who arrived while Eyewitness News was there had no comment.

No one answered at Patton’s Montrose area apartment Monday afternoon. An unidentified woman who arrived while Eyewitness News was there had no comment.

Back in April, police seized Patton’s computer from his apartment during an unrelated investigation, when they discovered a series of disturbing pictures, 27 in all.

“HPD sent the images to the FBI forensics laboratory for examination,” explained Donna Hawkins with the Harris County District Attorney’s office.

According to court documents, it was determined that the images were taken in November 2004, before Patton worked for Earthman. However, last month when police showed Patton the offensive pictures recovered from his computer, the investigator asked, ‘When was the last time you did this?’

Patton responded, ‘A year ago,’ which would have been on or about September 2008, while Patton was employed as the funeral director at Earthman.

A spokesperson for SCI says she is not aware of any other incidents, and released the following statement:

“These allegations are deeply disturbing. They are contrary to everything the entire funeral profession stands for. The vast majority of people in the funeral industry are people with the utmost integrity. They are caring, compassionate professionals who daily help families through extremely difficult times.”

SCI says it will continue to cooperate with authorities. Abuse of a corpse is a class A misdemeanor. If Patton is convicted, he could spend up to a year in jail and could face up to a $4,000 fine.

Principal Charged With Sodomizing Underage Boy, Providing Alcohol To Four Minors

What drives so many white woman to abusing and raping children?

Whitesville, Kentucky – Allison Brant, a 31-year-old principal at St. Mary of the Woods Elementary School, was arrested Wednesday for allegedly having sex with a teen boy and supplying alcohol to four other teens.

Kentucky State Police say Brant was arrested when it was learned she had had sex with a 15-year-old boy multiple times and had supplied four other teens with alcohol at her residence.

According to authorities, Brant, who was the principal at St. Mary of the Woods Elementary, had a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy through December of last year through January.

Arrest reports further allege Brant supplied four teenagers, aged 16-18, with alcohol at her Whitesville home in September.

The suspect has resigned from her position as principal at St. Mary’s.

Brant was booked in to Davies County Jail on charges of 3rd degree rape, three counts of 3rd degree sodomy, and 4 counts of unlawful transactions with a minor. She is being held on $37,000 bond.

White Family ran a day care with bomb-making material and neo-Nazi lit in the back

Nazi paraphenalia, bombs and weed in a day care center? Stoner Skinhead fun for the whole family!

Explosives and a marijuana farm were discovered at a Southern California home doubling as a state-licensed child day care center after a man blew off four of his fingers while mixing homemade explosives, authorities said Thursday.

Benjamin Kuzelka, 23, remained hospitalized at Loma Linda Medical Center and will be arrested when he his discharged, said sheriff’s Sgt. Dennis Gutierrez. His mother, Rebecca Kuzelka, 55, and brother, Grey Kuzelka, 21, were booked Thursday on suspicion of manufacturing illegal explosives, illegal growing of marijuana and child endangerment, he said.

Authorities went to Kuzelka Family Day Care after a local hospital reported late Wednesday that Kuzelka walked in and said he had shot himself in the hand. Doctors, however, became suspicious because the wound was inconsistent with a gun shot injury and they called authorities, Gutierrez said.

Investigators found explosives, a sophisticated marijuana-growing facility and evidence that the home had been used as a state-licensed child care facility as recently as the day before, Gutierrez said. The home is on a cul-de-sac in a remote area of Riverside County about 70 miles southeast of Los Angeles.

“We do believe that when all this illegal activity was going on, that children were present,” he said. However, no children were home at the time of the explosion, authorities said.

The explosives were hidden outside and detectives believe Grey Kuzelka moved them from the garage to the backyard while his brother was seeking medical treatment, said sheriff’s Sgt. Pat Chavez.

A hazardous device team responded to the scene and defused explosives Thursday in several controlled blasts throughout the day. They left the scene by the late afternoon, Gutierrez said.

The FBI, which is also investigating, said there was no immediate indication that the case was linked to any terrorist investigation or any threat to public safety.

FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller referred all other questions to Gutierrez, who said he did not know what types of explosives were found at the site or how powerful they were.

Grey Kuzelka had been arrested on Saturday for investigation of possessing marijuana and concentrated cannabis, and was released the next day on $5,000 bail. Riverside County court records show Benjamin Kuzelka has a string of convictions for drunken driving and drug possession dating back several years.

A child care advocate with the state’s community licensing division, which awards day care licenses, did not immediately respond to an e-mail or phone message seeking comment.

The facility was licensed for children ages 2 to 5 and was approved for no more than eight children at a time, Chavez said.

Australian Black Face Skit Fails To Impress

‘Most wanted’ sex offender found

1 down and how many more millions to go?

A convicted sex offender who was placed on a list of the UK’s most wanted criminals thought to be living in Spain has been arrested on a Greek island.

Stephen Burnell, 56, of Scunthorpe, has been missing since 2007, when he failed to attend York Crown Court for trial.

He was convicted of offences including attempted rape in his absence and given a six-year jail term.

Burnell was the second man wanted under an appeal targeting fugitives abroad to be arrested in 24 hours.

Leeds-born Ronald Priestley, 69, was arrested in Malaga on Wednesday in connection with £4.25m of currency counterfeiting offences.

Burnell was detained on the Greek island of Crete on Wednesday.

His offences were carried out in North Yorkshire and included the attempted rape and indecent assault of a nine-year-old girl who he abused over four years.

Det Insp Keith Ruff, who led the North Yorkshire Police investigation into Burnell, said: “We are delighted that the law has caught up with this man.

“Our thoughts immediately go to the victim at the centre of the case and hope that she can now take some comfort from the fact that he is no longer at liberty.

“Burnell must now face up to his despicable crimes.”

‘Incredible achievement’

Last month Burnell was named as one of 10 men being targeted in an appeal by the Crimestoppers charity on the Costa Del Sol, known as Operation Captura.

Priestley was featured in the first appeals made under Operation Captura in October 2006.

Crimestoppers’ founder and chairman, Lord Ashcroft, said: “To have two most wanted men arrested within 24 hours is an incredible achievement.

“The fact is that more than half the criminals who have been featured under Operation Captura have already been caught.

“Therefore my message to the rest of them, still on the run, is that it doesn’t matter which island they are sunning themselves on, they should put their affairs in order and find a tenant for their villas, because there’s a good chance they will be soon on their way home.”

French minister who demanded Roman Polanski be freed paid for sex with ‘young boys’ in Thailand

Pedophile solidarity at its finest. What does this say about white society and its tolerance for such sickness?

The French government minister who led calls to free Roman Polanski was under pressure to resign today after it emerged he paid for sex with ‘young boys’.

Frederic Mitterrand, who is openly gay and a close friend of First Lady Carla Bruni, had described the arrest of the film director for sleeping with a 13-year-old girl as ‘absolutely horrifying’.

But critics were today pointing to the Culture Minister’s autobiography ‘The Bad Life’, in which he admits having been a sex tourist in Thailand.

Frederic Mitterrand, left, who called for Roman Polanski, right, to be freed, has admitted paying for sex with boys in his 2005 autobiography ‘The Bad Life’

Mitterrand, nephew of the late Socialist president Francois Mitterrand, wrote: ‘I got into the habit of paying for boys.

‘All these rituals of the market for youths, the slave market excite me enormously. One could judge this abominable spectacle from a moral standpoint but it pleases me beyond the reasonable.’

Bizarrely, there was little fuss when the book first came out in 2005.

But when Mitterrand began trying to defend Polanski there was an outcry – to the great embarrassment of French President Nicolas Sarkozy, who also initially defended Polanski.

Mitterrand’s 2005 book ‘The Bad Life’ has caused controversy only since the minister’s defence of Roman Polanski

Polanski is in a Zurich jail facing deportation to the U.S. over an outstanding conviction for unlawful sexual intercourse with a 13-year-old girl in 1977.

But Mitterrand has been leading the calls for the famous film director to be freed.

Today he was slammed by critics on French television and radio.

Benoit Hamon, the opposition Socialist Party spokesman, said: ‘As a minister of culture he has drawn attention to himself by defending a film maker and he has written a book where he said he took advantage of sexual tourism.

‘To say the least, I find it shocking.’

Jean-Marie Le Pen’s far-right National Front Party has also called for Mitterrand’s resignation.

In turn, Mitterrand responded that he was ‘flabbergasted’ by the fuss, saying: ‘If the National Front drag me through the mud then it is an honour for me. If a leftist politician drags me through the mud then it is a humiliation for him.’

Mitterrand joined the cabinet in June after Ms Bruni championed him as a friend of the arts from a great political dynasty.

France initially called for Polanski’s release, but has since withdrawn its support for the 76-year-old director of films like Rosemary’s Baby, Chinatown and The Pianist.

In recent years France has been active in prosecuting French citizens for sex with under-age prostitutes in Thailand.

The red-light district of Bangkok: Mitterrand has admitted to being a sex tourist

In the past politicians could hide behind strict privacy laws and a general view among the French that private lives should remain just that.

Mitterrand’s late uncle, who was President from 1981 to 1995, kept a second family and illegitimate daughter secret until the year before he left office.

But conventions are changing, with the French voting public increasingly expecting the kind of transparency provided by the media in countries like Britain.

White Woman Uses Her Baby Daughter’s Back As An Ashtray

More superior parenting skills…

Hereford, UK – Charlotte Sutton, 19, of Warndon, Worcester, was sentenced October 4th by the Hereford Crown Court for putting out a lit cigarette on her baby when she couldn’t handle the child’s crying.

Sutton, who greeted the news of her sentence with a shrug, was arrested last May when it was brought to the attention of authorities that her 15-month-old daughter had sustained serious burns to her back.

Last month at Sutton’s trial, the court heard from Pauline Eaton, the child’s paternal grandmother, who claims she noticed the burns while she changed the baby’s diaper and contacted social services, who in turn notified police.

Eaton further told the court that she and her husband had watched the child for Sutton on several occasions when Sutton claimed she was “too tired” or “couldn’t cope” with the baby.

Sutton denied the charges, testifying that the burns were caused when the tip of her cigarette fell down the child’s shirt. However, experts who treated the child’s injuries testified that the burns were not consistent with Sutton’s explanation.

Court records show that the little girl was burned three times with the cigarette when she wouldn’t stop crying. She is now scarred for life, and has been released to the care of Eaton family.

It took the jury one hour to find Sutton guilty of child neglect.

Judge John Cavell sentenced the Sutton to 9 months in an institution for young offenders.

Naked Man Caught On Camera Burglarizing Woman’s Home – Cooks And Showers At The Home Before Leaving

A “clean” escape?

Slidel, Louisiana – An unidentified naked man who burglarized a woman’s home Monday was captured on the home’s surveillance camera. The video captured a nude man showering, eating and having several drinks inside her home while she was away for the weekend.

According to Slidel police, the home’s 61-year-old owner had just returned from visiting her son over the weekend when she checked the home’s surveillance video system and found a surprise. An unknown man visited her home at around 1 a.m. Monday without a single thread of clothing on.

Investigators say the man knocked on the woman’s door. When no one responded, he proceeded around to the back of the house, hung out on the woman’s patio furniture and then decided it was time to go inside.

Police say the man broke out several rear windows and invited himself into the woman’s home. Once inside, the man cooked himself a meal, had several drinks and then took a shower before wrapping himself in a towel and departing the premises.

Although the intruder ransacked the woman’s home before leaving, investigators do not believe anything was stolen. Detectives believe the man might have been intoxicated when he visited the home. (ya think?)

Despite video of the suspect and a number of identifying tattoos, police say they have received few clues about the man’s identify.

White man charged with soliciting his ex-girlfriend’s murder, requesting that it be video taped so he could watch it for Christmas

The sensitive type. Rape, sodomy, murder and a video of it for Christmas…

Mission Viejo, California – Mark Alan Jarosik, a 43-year-old Ladera Ranch man was charged Friday with soliciting the murder of an ex-girlfriend – requesting that the murder be videotaped so that he could watch it at Christmas.

According to documents, Jarosik was arrested in June on charges of attempted murder – after he allegedly raped his ex-girlfriend and then returned to her home several times to assault her.

In May, 2009, Jarosik was charged with two felony counts of forcible rape and one felony count of attempted sodomy by force.

After Jarosik’s mother and sister bailed him out in June, he returned to the victim’s home and attempted to break in, however Jarosik fled when the woman’s children saw his hands coming through the window.

Jarosik came back the next day and attacked the woman outside her home – banging her head against the curb. She was hospitalized with severe head trauma.

Jarosik was arrested a short time later on charges of attempted murder, forcible rape, battery, burglary, sodomy and violating a restraining order.

Did Jarosik learn his lesson? Apparently not.

Prosecutors now say Jarosik attempted to solicit the murder of his ex-girlfriend from behind bars. Investigators say Jarosik solicited another inmate to have his ex-girlfriend killed – requesting that the murder be videotaped so he could watch it at Christmas time.

Jarosik is also accused of violating an order of protection by sending the victim several letters from jail, expressing his affection for her – asking her to visit him, according to Farrah Emami of the District Attorney’s Office.

Jarosik, who is a former architect, was charged Friday with solicitation of murder and two counts of attempting to disobey a court order. He is now being held without bail.

‘Loverboys’ child prostitution scandal back in Dutch spotlight

Truly a sick society…why is there such a high tolerance for these sorts of crimes, especially against children?

Phenomenon of young men pimping underage schoolchildren prompts national wave of soul-searching

On her first day of secondary school, a nervous 12-year-old Maria Mosterd was noticed by a much older boy from the technical college next door, wearing a baby-blue tracksuit and diamond jewellery. “He was big, fat and ugly, but he was impressive because all the boys respected him,” she said. “I was kind of scared of him. All the girls wanted him to talk to them. But he only said hello to me, so I thought I was special.”

They got chatting in the playground and two weeks later the boy, Manou, persuaded her to skip class, drove her to his student flat, gave her a joint and slept with her. She didn’t want to, but was told all girls had to learn how to do it. “You’ll do well, you’re the right size, you’re well taken care of, they like that,” he said. She didn’t really know what he meant, laughed at the smiley faces on his boxer shorts, and then passed out from the dope.

To Maria, Manou promised a bit of excitement in Zwolle, the “boring” provincial town where she lived with her Dutch mother, who taught drama at another school. Her father was from Suriname, but she didn’t know him. She called herself a “half-blood” and often felt she didn’t fit in.

Days later Manou drove her to another flat during morning class. It smelt of drugs and there were two men in the living room. “You’re going to have sex with them, sweetheart,” he said. “Are you mad? I don’t even know them,” she laughed. He took her into the kitchen, beat her “to make her listen”, then gave her a joint, and she went to the bedroom with the men. Afterwards, he dropped her back at school and she cycled home to her mum. She didn’t tell anyone. He promised her nice clothes and took her to McDonald’s for ice-cream. He gave her a mobile phone and called her every night in her bedroom at home, controlling everything, telling her when to go to the toilet, eat, go to bed. “I thought it was normal,” she said.

Manou was a “loverboy” – a phenomenon that has plunged the Netherlands into a wave of soul-searching. Loverboys, often in their 20s, single out insecure, underage girls in schools, coffee-shops, outside care homes, and woo them as “boyfriends”, promising love, clothes, status and excitement. Then they start to run them as prostitutes, drug-mules and gun-runners, or extort money from them, isolating them from their friends and families.

The girls, emotionally and financially dependant on their loverboys, find themselves locked into a cycle of abuse, sometimes made to work in windows in official red-light districts or being handed from flat to flat in several cities.

The decade-old problem in the Netherlands has now been catapulted on to the political agenda after Mosterd wrote an account of her four years from the age of 12 to 16 when she was forced to work for her loverboy. The book, Real Men Don’t Eat Cheese, has been a bestseller, a film is in pre-production, and politicians, police, teachers and parents are mobilising like never before.

The public is asking why, in a nation where prostitution above the age of 18 is legal and regulated, a crooked sub-culture of loverboys and their child-prostitute “girlfriends” exists. Mosterd’s family is suing her school for not properly investigating her truancy. Jamila Yahyaoui, of the Dutch Socialist party, which is pressing the government for more police action, more prosecutions and more shelters for victims, said: “Every year several hundred girls fall into the hands of loverboys, but only five cases lead to convictions. That has to change.”

Sitting in her living room, Mosterd, now 20, described her daily routine. “I would go to school on my bike. He’d be waiting for me. He’d give me different clothes to wear, otherwise my mother would smell the smoke on me. He thought of everything. He’d make sure I was back at home by 5pm, so I could have dinner with my mum.”

During the day she would be driven to houses and flats to sleep with men, often two or three at a time. There were rapes and beatings. She had to help single out other girls and deliver drugs and guns in her school bag – the police never noticed “a sweet little girl”.

“Manou had regular customers. Some were fathers, family men, company directors, school directors,” she said.

Eventually, after four years of truancy, a teacher confronted Mosterd, asking what was wrong. She didn’t know what to say, so she told a part truth about a recent ordeal where Manou had promised a “surprise” and driven her to “a house full of men”, saying she had to sleep with them all. She told the teacher about a vague gang rape. “I couldn’t work out why the teacher and then my mother made such a drama of it. By then it was all normal to me,” she said.

Mosterd’s mother, Lucie, is angry that the school never told her about the truancy, and that she never worked out what was going on, despite meeting Manou, who she thought was just a friend. “If it could happen to me as a mother, it could happen to anyone,” she said. “Maria would always shower when she came in, but I thought she was sweaty from cycling home. She never went out at night. I didn’t know what was going on in school time.”

Three men got short sentences for the gang rape. But Mosterd has not yet brought a case against Manou.

Amanda de Wind, who manages a project that runs the Netherlands’ only anonymous shelter specifically for escaped victims of loverboys, said: “I think this kind of thing is happening in every country, such as England, Germany, Russia, and accounts for 99% of the prostitution of young girls.”

In most of the cases she saw the girls had mental health problems; many had previously been victims of sexual abuse. “A loverboy can easily spot and target someone who has been raped,” she said.

Often a loverboy would take a girl with him to watch while he beat up someone else, she added. “The girls are told: ‘If you run away, I’ll go after your sister, your mother’.” Recently loverboys have branched out into drug-running and extortion, which is harder for the police to spot. “We have seen loverboys making the girls take out bank loans when they turn 18 and hand over the money, or register cars and insurance in their name,” De Wind said.

Mosterd said she wasn’t “in love” with her loverboy, but she lived for the happy moments, such as when he took her for an ice-cream on her 13th birthday. She never saw any money, but was offered limitless hash.

Asked if he gave her heroin, she said: “He didn’t have to make me addicted to drugs, because I was addicted to him.”

Australian seniors get brothel discount

Apparently humility, grace and wisdom does not come with old age if you’re an Australian.

The Moorabbin Glen Eira Leader reports as thousands of old-timers celebrate national Seniors Week, those who present their seniors’ discount card at some brothels and escort services can mark the occasion in an entirely different way.

Brothels aligned with Australian Adult Entertainment will offer discounted services from October 4-11.

Caulfield South’s Club 859 owner Fiona Brownlee said she would honour the promotion for any seniors who wanted to partake.

“I certainly will be,” Ms Brownlees said.

“I’d certainly be giving $5 to $10 off.”

Ms Brownlee said “heaps” of the Caulfield South brothel’s clientele were older than 60.

White man breaks into resident’s pool naked and covered with feces

A “stinking drunk,” indeed.

Stuart, Florida – Robert Stark Higgins, a 21-year-old Florida man was arrested Saturday after he broke into a resident’s backyard and jumped naked into a pool while covered with feces.

According to the Martin County Sheriff’s Office, a naked Higgins, who was covered with feces, broke into a resident’s backyard and helped himself to the resident’s pool.

Deputies say the resident became alarmed when he heard Higgins crash through the screen of his pool and proceed to go for a swim. Higgens then reportedly grabbed a towel and fled the scene.

Higgins, who deputies said had been drinking, was arrested a short time later.

He was booked into the Martin County Jail on charges of burglary to an occupied dwelling, disorderly conduct and misdemeanor theft. Bail was set at $10,500.

White woman Charged With Sending 13-Year-Old Girl Photos Of Humans Having Sex With Donkeys

breaking new frontiers…in vile behavior.

St. Johnsbury, Vermont – Brenda Simard-Reid, a 40-year-old Vermont woman was arraigned Monday on charges she sent a 13-year-old girl photographs of humans having sex with donkeys.

According to police, an investigation was launched after a 13-year-old girl’s foster parents discovered the teen had been sent photographs of humans having sex with animals, including donkeys. The incident was then reported to the Vermont Department of Children and Families.

Investigators say the images were sent to the teen’s phone by Simard-Reid, who is reportedly a relative of the victim. The images were sent last May, according to court records.

Simard-Reid was booked into jail on six counts of disseminating indecent material to a minor. She pleaded not guilty to all six counts. Simard Reid’s attorney argued that other individuals had access to the phone and could have sent the photographs.

The victim’s phone was confiscated because she was viewing the images while riding the school bus.

White couple Wrapped Their Son’s Cracked Skull With Duct Tape So The Could Continue “Tweaking” On Meth

More white family values in action…

Panama City Beach, Florida  – Jessica and John Paul Huskey were in the midst of a meth high Tuesday when their son’s skull was fractured with a nail. But instead of seeking help for their son’s injuries, they reportedly wrapped his head with duct tape so they could continue “tweaking” on meth.

According to Panama City Beach investigators, the couple’s toddler suffered a fractured skull Tuesday after John Paul Huskey, 28, allegedly jumped on a chair. The chair reportedly broke apart – launching a nail into the child’s skull. But instead of calling for help, the couple wrapped the boy’s head in duct tape and continued to use meth.

Investigators say the boy didn’t receive medical attention until the next morning when John Paul finally called 911 from his cell phone.

Jessica allegedly awoke Wednesday morning to find her child sick and “turning colors”, according to police.

When emergency crews arrived at the couple’s apartment, deputies found Jessica, the injured child and a 4-year-old child inside. The toddler was flown to Sacred Heart Hospital in Pensacola where he is now listed in critical condition. The couple’s 4-year-old child was taken into protective custody.

Jessica told investigators they did not take the boy to the hospital because she was high and they were concerned about what authorities might find at their apartment, according to Sgt. Steve Nagy of the Panama City Beach Sheriff’s Office.

John Huskey was booked into the Panama City Beach Jail on charges of aggravated child abuse, possession of meth, possession of cocaine, possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia. Deputies added an additional charge of dealing in stolen property when it was discovered he stole an iPod Touch out of a vehicle and attempted to sell it to a pawn shop in September.

Jessica Huskey was booked on charges of aggravated child abuse, possession of meth and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Bail in both cases have not yet been made available.

What Berlusconi’s Tan Obama ‘Jokes’ Say About Italy

Italians…10000 different shapes of pasta and just 2 sauces.

It was the gaffe heard around the globe. Last November, just two days after Barack Obama’s historic election victory, the world’s collective jaw dropped when Silvio Berlusconi quipped that the next U.S. President was “young, handsome and even has a good tan.”

Though the Italian Prime Minister refused to apologize for the failed attempt at humor, Obama and his aides gave Berlusconi a pass. The incoming President was not going to be sidetracked by a diplomatic incident with a man already notorious as a loose cannon. Berlusconi kept his place that week on Obama’s initial round of phone calls to world leaders, with the “tan” remark firmly off the agenda and both sides hailing strong relations between the key transatlantic allies.

 Strangely, it is Berlusconi who has not let the incident rest. He called his critics “imbeciles,” saying the remark was meant as a compliment. “We’d all like to be tanned like Naomi Campbell and Obama,” he said two weeks after the original one-liner. He has made other references to it in the months since. (See Berlusconi’s worst gaffes.)

 And then on Sunday, he dropped the abbronzato bomb again. Having returned from the G-20 meeting in Pittsburgh, he told supporters in Milan that he carried greetings from “someone tan, what’s his name? Barack Obama!” Not satisfied, he continued, “You will not believe it, but the two of them went together to get some sun at the beach, because the wife is also tanned.”

 The conventional wisdom in Italy, in both press and political circles, seems to be that it’s just Berlusconi being Berlusconi. The latest quip got only passing notice from Italy’s center-left opposition, which is more focused on Berlusconi’s ongoing sex scandal. Even the leading leftist daily, La Repubblica, referred to the remarks as the latest “Berlusconi Show.” (See pictures of Italy.)

 But that’s telling in itself. In many ways, mainstream Italian society is several generations behind the rest of the West when it comes to race. In supposedly polite company, one can still hear the word negro, (pronounced neh-grow) which essentially translates to the N word. A cleaning woman is often generically referred to as a “Filippina.” Northern Italians joke that darker-skinned southerners are “Moroccans.”

 Unlike some of his political allies, Berlusconi has never seemed to suffer from mean-spirited racism. Still, his eagerness to continue cracking racial jokes shows how outdated he and a big chunk of Italian society are. The lack of outrage from ordinary Italians compounds the crime. (Read “The Berlusconi Tapes: 5 Ways to Evade the Scandal.”)

 Does that mean it’s up to the White House to tell Berlusconi basta? During the 2008 campaign, Republican political consultant Grover Norquist was lambasted by Obama supporters for describing the candidate as “John Kerry with a tan.” But when it comes to Silvio, the Administration seems to want to play it cool. The U.S. embassy in Rome declined this week to comment on the latest quip. Asked Wednesday by TIME about the remarks, White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said, “There are far bigger issues in the world than this.”

 That’s true. And no doubt the issues of any perceived political incorrectness – and potential racial reverberations – are trickier to handle when the offender is the leader of a NATO ally. But Berlusconi’s prominence is the point, and as the first black leader of the most powerful nation on earth, Obama is seen as a model by many countries struggling to integrate people of different races and religions. (See pictures of Barack Obama’s family tree.)

 In Italy, where immigration has skyrocketed in the past decade, racism is becoming a front-burner issue. Aly Baba Faye, regional director in Rome of the Anti-Racism Observatory, says the Prime Minister’s comments are indicative of attitudes in Italy and unhelpful in changing prejudices. “Berlusconi thinks he’s funny, but he’s not,” says Faye, an Italian citizen who emigrated from Senegal 30 years ago. “For one world leader to talk about the skin color of another is utterly disrespectful and sets a bad example for ordinary folk.” Faye says Berlusconi’s comments make it more likely that people on the street in Rome will make a crack about the color of his or his children’s skin. (See pictures of Rome.)

 Faye, who was head of Italy’s first pro-Obama initiative during the 2008 campaign, says he understands the President’s not wanting to turn the issue into a diplomatic affair. “But someone has to make him stop. Maybe just a private note through the embassy?” Or maybe the next time he sees Berlusconi, Obama himself can lean over and say, “Hey Silvio, you know the tan jokes? Basta.”
