I hold the PROSECUTORS, the JUDGES, AND THE LAWYERS accountable for this murder. The inmates and the guards who house them are barely literate, much less intelligent on the whole. The guards knew his original charge wording, they knew he would be targeted. The word got to the prison population, and that was all it took. They knew this would happen before it happened. The words – Sexual Battery of a Juvenile Female – they illicit a knee jerk reaction, especially from the uneducated and uninformed. The persons who formulated applied those words know this.
Not the least of which is the PO who violated him over an old, unused FB account. Get a life. You must be kidding me. All the trouble and hassle and taxpayer’s costs of incarcerating someone over an abandoned FB account????

The haughty members of the Tangipahoa Parrish Sheriffs department who are gloating over this death like – ‘Ha, Ha, Ha. We take care of perverts in this land.’ You are the true ignoramus and pervert and you, along with those I before mentioned, will stand before the judgement of the Almighty Creator. That is all I know to say.

I know none of these people and I never have met any of them. But I am as sure as the sky is blue this is the result of the perverted and dastardly way lawyers and judges are allowed to mess around with the language and stigmatize someone far beyond and above what would be appropriate for whatever misstep, accident, or misdeed they may be in trouble over.

We need an intelligent legal system, not this evil monstrosity we are living under the yoke of.

If he used his real full name on his Facebook page, I’m surprised Facebook themselves didn’t close his account. They closed MY account twice..and I used a FAKE name. I think they do facial recognition and caught on by my pics of me and my ex.
We ALL have a right to know what’s going on in the world. Social media is becoming the norm for this even more than the TV news.
Lots of companies are forcing people to go through their Facebook pages to get in touch with them or, in some cases, even apply for jobs! Yes! I’ve seen it myself.

At my former job, my boss used to tell us to help get the word out about our live entertainment and drink specials by going on Facebook and helping to advertise for our restaurant. This was AFTER my 2nd FB page got deleted by FB so I didn’t bother making a new one again. It’s pretty friggin awkward when you’ve got co-workers wanting to talk about how they got “x” amount of people liking their posts about our live events and I’m looking and pretending to agree but not ever having the courage to say “I can’t have a FB page because apparently I’m a monster”. The only person who knew of my offense background was the man who decided to hire me. I don’t tell everyone and I’ve told my Probation officers that I am NOT telling everyone and they were ok with that decision.

But my point here is Facebook kicks off sex offenders who are still on the registry so how did this man’s FB page still stay active AFTER his conviction?

We can fight the social media ban all we want with the local authorities, but remember, the social media sites take it upon themselves to do background checks and remove you from the site.
If you’re on the SOR, you can’t even use Match.com … I know…I tried.

This is why I keep mentioning that there needs to be an address to the states that Probation is a complete and utter waste and needs to be abolished along with the registry.
Probation officers are walking egos and power trips. Nothing more.

Dave D,

The funny thing about these jailhouse warriors who don’t like sex offenders is that they will be the first ones to “sexually harass” the female prison guards. I know. I’ve seen it, I’ve heard it.
In the county jail I was in prior to sentencing, there was a Latina corrections officers who was seriously SMOKIN hot. Every ghetto, ratchet thug on the cell block would nearly be masturbating when she did her walk throughs. And the things they would say were so demeaning to her as a woman, you had to wonder how any of these men ever got laid out in the world.

So these prison warriors are just a bunch of hypocrites. The longer they’re locked up, the more intense their sexual frustration becomes. And if they were to be locked in a room with a 15 yr old, make no mistake that they wouldn’t take advantage of it.

Prison warriors make me sick. They committed crimes also. That’s why they’re there. But don’t expect them to mind their own business – ever.

I stand corrected. When you ;break the law you lose some of those rights. I apologize for implying that we have no rights at all. I’m glad that there are rights established for the accused. I am very grateful for everything that NARSOL has done on our behalf. It’s sad that this person is another casualty in the fight for our rights.

Even within the community of people who are labeled as sex offenders, their family members and the organizations who are supposed to be helping them in their struggle, there is labeling. I try and read everything new that is posted concerning the plight of the registered citizens. Many comments state, or hint at, that the registry should only be for the really serious sex offenders. What does that really mean?

Please, let’s not start dividing ourselves up into segments and start deciding who deserves relief and who does not. In the eyes of these other inmates in that jail, it didn’t mean a damn what he was convicted of — he was a sex offender and they have been conditioned to respond to sex offenders in this way.

My questions are:

Are these attackers being charged with murder? If not, why not?

Is this the first time this particular parish jail has had attacks such as this?

Why aren’t crimes such as this labeled as hate crimes?

Breaking the law or being accused of committing a crime does not negate most constitutional rights. In fact, some of the strongest and most important rights are designed specifically for the situation of being accused of a crime. I believe that this is the primary reason that NARSOL exists, to fight against the violation and the taking of these rights from those accused of sexual crimes and those living with the aftermath of a sexual crime conviction.
