Outrageous on so many levels!
The actions of six grotesque distortions of human beings in West Virginia are more than disturbing.
From the Associated Press via Yahoo News:
Neighbors: Torture suspects were trouble
“Authorities say they held a 20-year-old black woman for about a week at their mobile home, where she was tortured, sexually assaulted and forced to eat rat droppings.
Megan Williams’ captors, who were white, choked her with a cable cord, stabbed her in the leg while calling her a racial slur, poured hot water over her, made her drink from a toilet and beat her, according to criminal complaints.”
This crime is being viewed as a race-motivated hate crime. I don’t know what role racism may have played in this horrendous torture, but I do know that these acts weren’t first time offenses committed by the salt of the earth type people that until now had never harmed a soul. Miss Williams did not have to suffer these atrocities as common sense would have prevented them! Note the history of these “people”:
“Since 1991, police have filed 108 criminal charges against the six. Frankie Brewster was charged in 1994 with first-degree murder, but pleaded guilty to lesser charges of manslaughter and wanton endangerment. She was released from prison in 2000 after serving five years in the death of an 84-year-old woman, court records show. Bobby Brewster was accused in March of attacking his mother with a machete, according to court records. The outcome of those charges — domestic assault, brandishing a deadly weapon and obstructing an officer — was not immediately clear. He also faces domestic battery and assault charges after a dispute involving Megan Williams in July. A court date has not yet been set.
The Brewsters were constantly fighting, drinking and disrupting the otherwise quiet hollow in southern
West Virginia, Roy and Charlotte Williams said.”
Why can a person enter a plea bargain in a first degree murder case? How can 108 criminal charges, some of them for horribly violent acts, be ignored by by the legal system? Please note that it is no accident that I do not refer to the “justice” system. No justice is served when degenerate scum such as the Brewsters are permitted to roam free and continue to do harm.
If only there had been warning signs… other than minor things like murder charges and machete attacks!
Hi Sam,
I was debating posting on this yesterday. I get so frustrated with the legal system (as you state, justice just does not fit) and was just a little dumbfounded with the entire situation. By situation, namely I mean the 108 previous criminal charges.
Hate crime, psh. Seriously, what would you call the same crime if the victim was white? All violent crime is hateful whether it is racially motivated or not. How hard is that to grasp?!
Sam, I fear our justice system is going so far downhill that a system of vigilantism is going to replace it. Where do we start revamping this mess?
Sam -
Great post! Now here is a case where some “connecting the dots” would have been both possible and helpful!

Tammi,
I have no idea how the mess can be revamped. I think we can continue to voice our displeasure and point out the lack of common sense in the judicial mess.
BCM,
Isn’t it strange that a small child can connect dots, but adult authorities cannot?
