DC Comics The New 52: Week 20

No comic of the week this week and it’s no surprise considering this week’s titles.

It seemed like week 20 can be called the cliché week since it was filled with so many.

We have to work as a team
Heroes acting as villains
My powers are making things worse
I’m in the one place where my powers are useless
Was it all just a dream?

Come on guys. This was supposed to be a new era in comics and not adhering to the old comic gimmicks. I guess I was mistaken.

And I was promised Captain Marvel and so far no Captain Marvel.

News of Doom: OK man charged with stabbing his pregnant wife to death

Jaymie Adams

Husband is arrested on murder complaints in Blanchard mom Jaymie Adams’ death:

I previously blogged about the disappearance and murder of Jaymie Adams previously over at craigscrimelist. I’ll get to why I’m posting about it here in a little bit. First a little background.

Jaymie went missing from her home in Blanchard, Oklahoma on December 10th. Her body was found in Oklahoma City around January 7th. Jaymie was a mother of four who was pregnant with her fifth child when she was killed.

Now the reason I was posting about it over on CCL was because her husband, Justin Adams, claimed that she was a prostitute advertising her services on craigslist and that they were craigslist swingers. I kept an open mind about suspects because I had previously thought that a missing craigslist prostitute was murdered by her pimp/boyfriend when it turned out she was a victim of a serial killer.

This past Friday Justin Adams was arrested for Jaymie’s murder. According to police it had nothing to with craigslist and everything to do with Justin Adams being a violent and abusive coward. To put it bluntly he was a chicken shit wife beater, allegedly. He’s been charged with stabbing her to death while she was pregnant with his child.

Adams even pulled a Susan Smith by going on TV and beseeching the public for the return of his wife.

Now it is true that Jaymie Adams advertised on craigslist but it was as a massage therapist. There has been no concrete evidence that she crossed over to the ‘happy ending’ type of massage therapist. But it shouldn’t matter even if she was a prostitute. She was brutally stabbed to death while six months pregnant. Not to mention that if she was a prostitute I wouldn’t be surprised if her husband was the one pimping her out.

I have no tolerance for wife beaters and I have even less for baby killers whether the baby was born or not. Oklahoma does have the death penalty and I hope that prosecutors pursue it against this coward.

Zarate conviction upheld

Jonathan Zarate

Appeal fails for Randolph man convicted of killing Jennifer Parks:

Appeals court upholds decision to convict Randolph man of killing, dismembering neighbor:

Jonathan Zarate of Randolph, New Jersey was convicted and sentenced to life plus 24 years for the 2005 murder and dismemberment of his neighbor, 16-year-old Jennifer Parks. This past week the New Jersey court of appeals held up his conviction. Let’s take a look at some of the reasons his attorney appealed the conviction.

Unsuccessful arguments were that a change of trial venue should have been granted;

You could have held the trial in the Pine Barrens with squirrels and possums and this scumbag still would have been convicted.

Jonathan Zarate’s confession should have been suppressed;

Why? He was read his Miranda rights six times. Not only that but he admitted to Jennifer’s murder to just about every one he talked to in prison.

graphic, prejudicial photographs of Parks should have been suppressed;

If he was so proud of what he did then jury should get to see his bloody handiwork.

and the sentence was excessive.

You got to be shitting me on this one. Since it was New Jersey he had no shot of getting the death penalty. And after what he did to Jennifer throwing him feet first into a rusty woodchipper would not have been excessive and it’s what he deserves.

The three-judge panel rejected Jonathan Zarate’s arguments that pre-trial publicity tainted the jury pool

He stabbed and beat a 16-year-old girl and cut off her legs so he could stuff her in a trunk, he kept the trunk hidden for 24 hours then tried to dump her remains in the Passaic River. It’s his actions that caused any pre-trial publicity.

and that the jury pool did not have enough African Americans and Hispanic members.

This had nothing to do with race. You could have stacked the jury with transgendered albino Eskimo rodeo clowns and they still would have returned a guilty verdict.

I’m sure there will be more appeals in the future for this rat bastard but as I’ve said many times before Laurie Parks can’t appeal to anybody to bring Jennifer back. As long as Zarare still draws breath there will be no true justice.

School bombing plot busted in Utah

Dallin Todd Morgan

Affidavit: Teens in Roy bomb plot wanted ‘revenge on the world’:

Police: Release of juvenile’s name helped reveal more in Roy High bomb plot case:

Within the past few years I haven’t been posting every single school violence plot or threat, they’re just too numerous. So lately I’ve only been posting the ones where weapons have been found or if there is some kind of ‘hook’ to the story. And boy howdy is there a hook to this one.

This week police in Roy, Utah arrested 18-year-old Dallin Todd Morgan and 16-year-old Joshua Kyler Hoggan for allegedly plotting an attack on Roy High School. It seems that Morgan was the lackey in this case even though he’s been charged with being possession of a weapon of mass destruction. I haven’t seen what the weapon was but one could safely assume that it was probably some kind of pipe bomb. Hoggan on the other hand has quite the story.

Police say that the 16-year-old Hoggan had a fascination with Columbine. Fascination is probably an understatement since Hoggan is said to have flown to Colorado on his own accord to interview Columbine High School principal Frank DeAngelis. Mr. DeAngelis is the current principal and was principal during the Columbine shootings.

Hoggan isn’t your typical mutant though. Police say that when they compared him to the Columbine gunmen that Hoggan was insulted saying that they failed at their main objectives and that he could do more damage than them because of how intelligent he is.

But just because someone is intelligent doesn’t mean they can’t be a dumbass. Police say that part of their plan was to escape by stealing a plane from a local airport and fleeing the country. They are said to have practiced on computer flight simulator programs. First off it’s not as easy as they think to steal an airplane. It’s not like hotwiring a car and taking it for a joyride. And if they were to get a plane of the ground the FAA doesn’t take to kindly to criminals trying to flee the country in a stolen plane. Not to mention that any pilot will tell you that flight simulation software is no comparison to actual flight time.

So far no motive has been mentioned outside of the pair wanting revenge on the world but as always I’m sure it will be some selfish and shallow reason.

News of Doom: AK man charged with violent child molestation

Terry Sievers

Anchorage Police Arrest Man for Repeatedly Abusing Girl:

Anchorage man charged with abusing girl for years:

One of the features on this site is when I post about online sexual predators who find their victims through social networking sites. While that is still a real danger that should never be ignored the chances are greater that a child will be molested by someone they know and someone their family trusts. Too many times have I read stories about children being sexually exploited by a ‘family friend’.

For example take 34-year-old Terry Sievers of Anchorage, Alaska. He was recently charged with allegedly molesting a girl over a number of years starting when she was 5-years-old. The victim, who is now 15, said that if she didn’t do what Sievers wanted he would beat her and threatened to harm her family. According to the victim in one instance when Sievers wasn’t getting his way he held the girl’s head underwater in the toilet before slamming her head against the bathroom wall.

This is very typical on how child molesters work, They gain the trust of their victim’s family and then threaten a scared and violated child with violence toward their family if they don’t comply. Cowardice at it’s very heart.

Currently Siever is being held without bail. For once an alleged child molester is being taken seriously and not allowed to walk out and continue to traumatize the victim just by being free.

It would be a real shame if some other inmate slammed his head into a prison toilet before slamming him against the wall and making him feel what his victim felt.

Police also say that he may have had more victims…

APD believes Sievers may have committed similar crimes, and is asking anyone with information regarding other possible victims to contact Detective Len Torres at 907-786-8573.

Nod of Doom to Lori

No Peace for Stickam predator

Robert Vincent Peace (I like them French fried potaters. Mmhmm)

UPDATE: Coach Pleads Not Guilty to Child Porn Charges:

45-year-old Robert Vincent Peace of Lake Forest, California was recently arrested and pleaded not guilty to child porn charges. According to investigators the former kids soccer coach was a Stickam predator.

In 2009 Peace allegedly met a 13-year-old girl on the live streaming site and convinced her to send explicit videos of herself to him. Once he got the videos police say that he threatened the girl into sending him more explicit images by saying that he would post the videos online if she didn’t. Peace is said to have posted the videos online anyway. For most of 2009 Stickam still had their private rooms where basically anything went regardless of age.

This came to light in 2011 when a family member of Peace’s discovered child porn on Peace’s computer. Not only did that lead to the alleged videos of his Stickam victim but close to 2000 other child porn images.

Peace is actually a citizen of the UK and is being held on $500K bond.

Anyone with additional information or who may have been a victim is encouraged to contact Supervising District Attorney Investigator Lou Gutierrez at 714-347-8794 or ICE’s toll-free 24-hour tip line at 866-DHS-2ICE.

Even though Stickam got rid of their private rooms almost 3 years ago there are still plenty of shady live video streaming sites out there. If you don’t want your child becoming a victim to one of these predators than I suggest you make sure they don’t have access to a webcam and keep all computers in a common area of the house.

No 13-year-old needs a webcam and as I’ve said before letting them have one is just an open invitation for sexual predators to virtually enter their rooms.

15 will get you 20 especially if you threaten to put a hit on her family

Man arrested in Facebook threat on ex-girlfriend’s family:

Man denies threatening girlfriend’s parents on Facebook:

What’s worse than being 22 and having a 15-year-old girlfriend? How about threatening on Facebook to put a hit out on her parents? That’s what police in Glendale, California said 22-year-old Raul Reinoso did.

Reinoso was on parole for armed robbery and allegedly has gang ties. For seven months he was having a sexual relationship (child rape) with a 15-year-old girl.

When her parents found out about it they sent Reinoso a message through Facebook that he couldn’t see their daughter anymore. Ina Facebook response Reinoso allegedly said that he was going to put a hit out on her family.

You would think that someone on parole wouldn’t be stupid enough to do things like this but then again criminals like Reinoso have never been known for their collective smarts. The girl’s parents called police and now Reinoso has been charged with suspicion of making a criminal threat, unlawful sex with a minor and oral copulation with a minor.

No word on possible sentencing but knowing the California system and how prosecutors like to cut deals I’m sure this scumbag will be back on the streets in no time.

Trench’s Bad Juju pick for Super Bowl XLVI

It’s called my bad juju pick because for over a decade I picked nothing but losers. However in the past few years I’ve been on quite the streak. Now remember this is about who I want to win the Super Bowl, not necessarily who I think is going to win it.

This upcoming Super Bowl between the Patriots and Giants doesn’t excite me as much as their last meeting did since the Pats aren’t going for an unbeaten season. Not to mention I am not a fan of either team. So picking this year’s Super Bowl for me is picking the lesser evil, and that lesser evil is…

DC Comics The New 52: Week 19

Another so-so week. Supergirl has been keeping my interest but barely. Catwoman however is turning out to be a nifty little crime drama. I’m sick of Nightwing’s travelling show. And again, Red Hood should be the DC Comics’ version of the Punisher, not some magic practicing wuss.

What I really want to talk about is something that I read online. Six titles are being cancelled. Those titles are Men of War, Mister Terrific, O.M.A.C., Hawk and Dove, Blackhawks and Static Shock. Out of those titles the only ones I read were Mister Terrific, Hawk and Dove and Static Shock. The only one of those I’ll be sad to see cancelled will be Static Shock.

They are being replaced by Batman Inc., Earth 2, World’s Finest, Dial H, GI Combat and The Ravagers. I am most looking forward to Earth 2 and World’s Finest. As an aside I don’t see the point of replacing one war comic with another.

I also understand that in the next issue of Justice League, which will be out this week, will have the back up feature of Shazam!/Captain Marvel. I really hope they don’t screw his story up.

Comic of the Week: Green Lantern Corps #5

This is what comics should be. A group of badasses getting ready to take it to the bad guys. This issue had just enough action to whet my appetite for the next issue.
