We're Getting Closer
In this post from last Sunday, I asked the following question of Boston Mayor Tom Menino:
Whatever his cutoff number is, we're now one violent sexual assault closer to reaching it. From the Boston Herald today:
A defenseless women, running around naked and bleeding after being abducted, raped, and stabbed. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. I can't for the life of me figure out what the mayor and rest of the gun-grabbing politicians in this state find so appealing about that scenario, but they seem to be doing everything in their power to see it play out on the streets of Boston more and more.
What? A violent, sexual predator walking the streets? And the fact that he had registered as a Level III sex offender with the state did NOTHING to prevent him from raping, torturing, and stabbing this woman? And the fact that he couldn't go to a gun shop and buy a gun didn't steer him toward a life of peace, love, and understanding? How can that be? I thought guns caused crime.
And who gets all the heroic praise?
Um, Ms. Hill., excuse me, but didn't this woman, whom this subhuman piece of filth raped and stabbed, play a role here in his apprehension? While it is commendable that these officers were able to act on the ID made by the victim, and make the arrest, it'obviousus to anyone with two brain cells to rub together that if it weren't for the courage and strength she displayed in escaping from this animal, there would be no arrest, and at least one additional victim.
Further, it should be obvious to anyone with three brain cells rattling around in their heads that all the laws in the Commonwealth and the policies of the Boston Police Department that deprive the law-abiding citizens of their right to effective self-defense did nothing to deter this violent career rapist.
Well, at least the people of Boston can take comfort that this asshole is off the streets and will soon be a guest of the state's correctional facilities.
But, for what? Three years? Four maybe.
It's only going to take one "compassionate" judge to put the safety and lives of thousands of women in the city back at risk. But don't worry, they'll make sure he "registers" again.
How many more innocent, hard-working residents of your city will need to be brutally stabbed, beaten, raped, and robbed before you abandon your progressive, liberal, socialist, "common-sense" (or whatever the fuck you call it these days) approach to "fighting crime" through gun control, which serves only to deprive the people of Boston of their right to defend themselves and their loved ones?
Whatever his cutoff number is, we're now one violent sexual assault closer to reaching it. From the Boston Herald today:
Caught in the act: Cops: Woman flees rapist - then ID's him from predator posting

A Dorchester woman who was allegedly kidnapped and raped by a registered sexual predator staggered naked and bleeding into a police station yesterday after leaping from her attacker's car and racing several blocks for help, cops said.

As police called for an ambulance, the woman spotted a board festooned with mugshots of Level 3 sex offenders and began to scream, pointing at a picture of Raymond V. Diamond, 43, who has been arrested for rape seven times and convicted of three sexual attacks. "That's him!" the woman, who is in her 30s, hollered through hysterical tears around 6:40 a.m., pounding her fists on the glass case holding the felons' pictures. "That's the guy who raped me!"

Her identification led District B-3 cops to nab Diamond just minutes before he was allegedly set to rape a second victim he had picked up while posing as a gypsy cab driver, said Deputy Superintendent Margot Hill, the commander of the Boston Police Family Justice Division.
And who gets all the heroic praise?
"These officers not only captured a suspect wanted for rape," Hill said, "they also prevented another rape from happening."
