Quote:Kidnapped women return home in Cleveland Two of the three women rescued from a Cleveland home where they'd been held for about a decade or more returned home Wednesday while police readied charges against the men accused of keeping them captive. Well-wishers from the neighborhood cheered as a gray van carrying Amanda Berry and the 6-year-old daughter she gave birth to during her captivity pulled up. The porch was decorated with balloons and stuffed animals and draped with a red banner that read, "Welcome home Amanda." "We are so happy to have Amanda and her daughter home," her sister, Beth Serrano, told reporters. "I want to thank the public and media for their support and courage over the years." A similar scene played out at the home of Gina DeJesus a few hours later. Family members embraced as DeJesus, wearing a neon-green hooded sweatshirt, was escorted into the home she hadn't seen since 2004. DeJesus, Berry and a third woman, Michelle Knight, were rescued Monday evening from the Cleveland home of 52-year-old Ariel Castro, police said. Knight was in good condition in a Cleveland hospital Wednesday. "There are not enough words to say or express the joy that we feel for the return of our family member Gina, and now Amanda Berry, the daughter, and Michelle Knight, who is our family also," DeJesus' aunt, Sandra Ruiz, told reporters. Authorities expect to file charges Wednesday against Castro and his two brothers, Pedro Castro, 54, and Onil Castro, 50, a police spokeswoman said. They escaped after Berry broke out the bottom of a screen door and called for help Monday evening. Neighbors Charles Ramsey and Angel Cordero say they responded to her cries and helped kick in the door to help her escape. "I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years," Berry said in a frantic 911 call. "And I'm here. I'm free now." The three women disappeared from the same Cleveland street -- Lorain Avenue -- between 2002 and 2004. Police say they were held just three miles from where they disappeared. They escaped after Berry broke out the bottom of a screen door and called for help Monday evening. Neighbors Charles Ramsey and Angel Cordero say they responded to her cries and helped kick in the door to help her escape. "I've been kidnapped, and I've been missing for 10 years," Berry said in a frantic 911 call. "And I'm here. I'm free now." Neighbor who helped Berry an instant Internet star In a telephone call recorded Tuesday, by CNN affiliate WJHL, Berry sounded upbeat -- telling her grandmother Fern Gentry that she felt "fine" and that the 6-year-old girl also rescued Monday from the Cleveland home is indeed her own. "I love you honey, thank God," Berry's tearful grandmother Fern Gentry could be heard telling her granddaughter. "I've thought about you all this time. I never forgot about you." Knight remained at Metro Health Hospital Wednesday, spokeswoman Tina Shaerban-Arundel said. She declined to say what Knight was being treated for, but said she was in good condition. The hospital had said Tuesday that all three women had been sent home after evaluations. Shaerban-Arundel said the hospital stood by that statement, but she did not elaborate. News of her discovery came as a shock to brother Freddie Knight, who didn't know she was missing until he saw the story on TV. He said the family thought Knight might be with the brother of a brother-in-law, but had no phone number to contact him. "I was freaking happy as hell, because I didn't know my sister was kidnapped," he said. "My mom never tells me anything." Knight said their mom, who now lives in Naples, Florida, kicked him out of the house when he was 14 and they remain estranged. CNN not could immediately confirm the details of Knight's account. Knight said he met with his sister at the hospital and gave her a hug, saying the ordeal had left her traumatized. "I hugged her because she wanted a hug," he said. "My sister is going to move on, forget the past ... , leave it behind, start anew." Her mother, Barbara Knight, told NBC Wednesday that she had not yet spoken to her daughter. "She's probably angry at the world because she thought she would never be found but thank God that somebody did," she told NBC. When asked what she would say to her daughter, she said, "I love you and I missed you all this time."

Quote:Cleveland Kidnapping: Police Ignored Multiple Calls About “Naked Women on Dog Leashes” in the Castros’ Yard The details that have emerged in the Cleveland kidnapping case are appalling, but what is even worse is that this whole ordeal could have ended years ago, if local police had actually done their job. Police had received multiple calls dating all the way back to 2011 and failed to follow up on some seriously disturbing reports from neighbors. One neighbor, Israel Lugo, said he heard pounding on some of the doors of Castro’s house, which had plastic bags on the windows, in November 2011. Lugo said officers knocked on the front door, but no one answered. “They walked to the side of the house and then left,” he said. USA today also reported that: “Neighbors also said they would sometimes see Ariel Castro walking a little girl to a neighborhood playground. And Cintron said she once saw a little girl looking out of the house’s attic window. Israel Lugo said he, his family and neighbors called police three times between 2011 and 2012 after seeing disturbing things at the home of Ariel Castro. Lugo lives two houses down from Castro and grew suspicious after neighbors reported seeing naked women on leashes crawling on all fours behind Castro’s house. Lugo said about two years ago his sister told him she heard a woman pounding on a window at Castro’s home as if she needed help. When his sister looked up, she saw a woman and a baby standing in a window half covered with a wooden plank. His sister told him and Lugo called the police. Later, Lugo’s mother called the police because Ariel Castro would park his school bus in front of their home and bring bags full of McDonald’s and drinks into his home. They wondered why he needed so much food. Police again responded but didn’t enter the home. A third call came from neighborhood women who lived in an apartment building. Those women told Lugo they called police because they saw three young girls crawling on all fours naked with dog leashes around their necks. Three men were controlling them in the backyard. The women told Lugo they waited two hours but police never responded to the calls.” Maybe he should have told the cops that someone was hiding drugs inside the house so they would have actually try to find out what was going on inside the house. One of the main reasons why there aren’t a whole lot of violent offenders in prison is because it’s a lot of hard work to catch them!! Cops get paid the same for locking up a pothead as they do for locking up a serial rapist, as long as there is a warm body in the cell then Dudley Do-Right makes his quota. And on top of that, there is a greater chance of them being able to seize property in a drug bust, so they are always looking out for those bonuses. Helping victims of violent crime or property crimes aren’t beneficial in those ways for police, so they often take a back seat to more lucrative pursuits. So it really makes sense that most cops go into work hoping for a good “easy” day where they don’t get shot at and maybe can make a little bit of extra money. Human beings respond to incentives, and cops are just human beings. They are not these super human people that wake up in the morning and think about nothing else but trying to make the world a better place, although many of them may have convinced themselves of this much. Just like the rest of us, most cops take the easy way out in their day to day, which basically means letting thieves, murderers and rapists roam free while chasing around nonviolent offenders all day because they are easier to deal with and they pay the same, or even more in most cases. http://intellihub.com/2013/05/08/cleveland-kidnapping-police-ignored-multiple-calls-about-women-on-dog-leashes-in-the-castros-yard/

Quote: Lower age of consent to 13 to protect old men from ‘persecution’: top pro-abortion lesbian dyke LONDON, May 8, 2013 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A proposal by a leading pro-abortion lawyer to lower the age of sexual consent from 16 to 13 to protect “old men” who molest young people from legal “persecution,” is being met with outrage in the UK. “I do not support the persecution of old men,” Barbara Hewson wrote recently in Spiked online magazine. “England has a long history of do-gooders seeking to stamp out their version of sexual misconduct by force of the criminal law.” Barbara Hewson Hewson, who made her name leading an international campaign to overturn the pro-life provision in Ireland’s Constitution, was writing in response the Jimmy Savile scandal that has been prominent in the British media since the entertainer’s death in October 2011. Savile was a popular DJ and BBC television presenter against whom hundreds of charges of child sex abuse and rape were brought after his death. “The manipulation of the rule of law by the Savile Inquisition … and its attendant zealots poses a far graver threat to society than anything Jimmy Savile ever did,” Hewson continued. Scotland Yard is investigating over 400 allegations based on the testimony of 300 possible victims via fourteen local polices forces over six decades. The police have described Savile as a “predatory sex offender.” Hewson also wrote of the arrest of BBC broadcaster Stuart Hall, who admitted 14 charges of indecently assaulting girls, including one aged nine, between 1967 and 1985. In her article she decried the “present mania for policing all aspects of personal life under the mantra of ‘child protection’" and "the post-Savile witch-hunting of ageing celebs” that, she says, “echoes the Soviet Union.” Hewson’s comments have caused a stir in the legal profession, with the Hardwicke chambers in London for which she works saying they are “shocked” at her suggestion that the crimes committed by the likes of Savile and Hall are merely “low-level misdemeanours.” “We did not see or approve the article pre-publication and we completely dissociate ourselves from its content and any related views she may have expressed via social media or any other media outlets,” the firm said in a statement. Hewson was described by the Daily Mail as a “human rights” lawyer specializing in “reproductive rights”. But an Irish pro-life advocate was more forthright in describing her career. “This is a lawyer who took Ireland to the European Court to foist abortion on the Irish people; a woman who called our pro-life laws ‘cruel and unusual’," said Niamh Ui Bhriain, head of the Life Institute. “Yet now she wants the age of consent lowered - as a reaction to the Savile and Hall crimes. What kind of defence of young women's rights is that?” Ui Bhriain said that abortion campaigners set themselves up as defenders of women, “but often when we scratch the surface we see a completely different side to things.” http://www.lifesitenews.com/news/lower-age-of-consent-to-13-to-protect-old-men-from-persecution-top-pro-abor

If you truly believe that locking someone up for their crimes is right, you have to also believe that when that time is done... they are clean. They paid the price for what they did. So, Mr. Ramsey got some time for domestic abuse. He did his time. He paid for it. He is free and clear with the house. What he did after.... shows he learned from it. Thats all Ive got to say. "None of you seem to understand. I'm not locked in here with you... YOU are locked in here with ME."
