According to the Billings Gazette, Judge Baugh argued that the 14-year-old victim of rape in this case was "older than her chronological age" and "as much in control of the situation" as her 49-year-old rapist. In doing so, Baugh places the responsibility for the situation on a troubled child -- one who committed suicide just two years later -- and excuses the criminal actions of an adult who violated the ethical standards and trust of his community. Baugh has engaged in the worst kind of victim shaming, while increasing the possibility that more child predators, relying on the laxity of a judge who more readily sympathizes with the abuser than the abused, will prey on other children in the future. For the safety of our community, and the sake of sexual abuse victims whose confidence Baugh has lost, we ask that he resign from his public position as district court judge. [We would like to note that this petition is in no way a referendum on Judge Baugh's character; we merely seek appropriate action in light of a decision that hurts victims and our community. Please keep all petition comments appropriate and respectful.]

Everyone has the god given right to defend himself, his family, and his property against the malicious and evil acts of others. We as a community are stricken by the chain of events that have occurred. We are frightened to know that we can be the target of a armed robbery as we leave our places of business. What also alarms us is the fact that this innocent man who defended himself against two long standing criminals is now labeled as the criminal. We, the undersigned, are concerned Business Leaders who are subjected to criminal acts within and around our stores. We work hard day and night to not only survive but support our families. We pay our fair share to the system of taxes. We urge our Business Leaders and American Citizens to act now in the support of Kahmen Abdul-Raquib Saleh. We want to show the DA Robert Dempsie that the charges posed on Kamhen Saleh are not right. We want justice for Kamhen Saleh. Email: [email protected]

MY NIECE, MEGHAN POWELL, WAS ONLY 16 YEARS OLD WHEN SHE WAS PRESSURED INTO A "PLEA BARGAIN" FROM VERY INEFFECTIVE COUNSEL WHO TOLD HER THAT SIGNING THE "BARGAIN" WAS THE BEST THING SHE COULD DO. SHE WAS LOCKED UP WITH NO ACCESS TO A PHONE AND MEDICATED. ITS JUST NOT RIGHT WHAT OUR SYSTEM DOES TO CHILDREN! ITS BEEN TEN YEARS. THE FEMALE PRISONS ARE OVERCROWDED AND RELEASING INMATES. MEGHAN WOULD NOT BE ANY TROUBLE TO OUR SOCIETY. IN FACT, SHE PLANS TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A POSITIVE WAY TO THE JUVENILE COMMUNITY.

The Pathway from the lungs to all parts of the body was discovered and the chemicals are focused to any part that the harassers wants to disable. It is very important that this behavior is stopped. My friends and I are harassed by people who have access to these chemicals that gets into the Respiratory System to the Nervous System causing excruciating pain and disability plus difficulty breathing and raising of high blood pressure. These chemicals have the symptoms of the Nervous Systems plus these toxic fumes get into the Vital Organs to disable causing death to those who are vulnerable. By reading Dr. Raymond Singer's. article on RECOGNIZING NEUROTOXICITY, I realized that These chemicals are dangerous to all life including animals and it was getting in the Nervous System to cause excruciating pain plus people were dying and the chemicals were focusing on the disabled Vital Organs of their bodies. Thus, the research shows that the chemicals are affecting all life plus the authorities have discovered that these chemicals are sprayed everywhere and it needs to be Investigated and stopped immediately.

Pennsylvania nurse and loving daughter Barbara Mancini faces up to 10 years in prison for allegedly "assisting suicide" in the death of her 93-year-old, terminally ill father, Joe Yourshaw. Joe was receiving hospice care because he wanted to die peacefully at home. Barbara was caring for her father in his living room when he took morphine to relieve his severe pain. An ambulance took Joe to the hospital, and a police captain arrested Barbara. This is a chilling example of government authorities criminalizing a family’s most intimate, personal decision. Would you want them to question yours? Sign our petition and stand with Barbara.

After more than 30 years as host and producer of The Prison Show on KPFT I have covered the criminal justice beat nationally.

CDCR (CA Dept. of Corrections and Rehabilitation) has launched a STG (Security Threat Group) program to be codified into the Title 15. It allows, among many things, long term indefinite isolation of inmates at great expense to the State. It lays the foundation for no one to be allowed out of SHU (Security Housing Unit) and into a SDP (Step Down Program) without agreeing, before entering, the SDP to snitch on others for the CDCR, while in SDP, at great risk to their families and their own safety. You can not simply disavow yourself of gang activity and work toward rehabilitation goals. You must agree to be a confidential informant. It also has a broad brush struck of who can be labeled an STG. It can done on a "suspicion" by a guard, with no proof. There are ways beside the use of SHU's to isolate active gang members from general population without the expense and inhumane treatment of SHU's.
