Atlanta Klansman not as clever as he thought

[Mycroft]

A 59-year-old St. Louis man who formerly headed a state Ku Klux Klan chapter was sentenced to 20 years in prison Thursday for trying to arrange a sexual encounter with two undercover Henry County police officers masquerading as 14-year-old girls.

<snip>

Last June, Schmidt made arrangements to drive to a McDonough motel for a meeting with the girls. He was arrested in the parking lot carrying guns, Klan paraphernalia and sex toys, the U.S. attorney said.

Since his arrest in this case, Schmidt has been charged with molesting his granddaughter and with arranging a similar sexual encounter with an underage girl in Florida, according to prosecutors.

Grand Dragon of the KKK, pedophile, and he molested his own grand-kids. How far down on the evil scale can a man get?

 

[Hallo Alfie]

He was only trying to keep his bloodlines pure.

At least one more notch. There's still racist/neo-nazi, pedophile and murderer/attempted mass murderer

I'm glad they got this one before he started shooting.

I saw the title and thought, "Well, Duh!"

 

[Susheel]

i guess he is now going to get all the sex he doesn't want.

To have this guy being a black man's TLA in prison is...


...it's... really something.

 

[Hallo Alfie]

TLA.....????

 

[3point14]

TLA.....????

True Love Always?

 

[Hallo Alfie]

The lights are low, the setting is romantic.

*hugely muscled black prisoner points at new meat* "C'mere, you."

*racist pedo-rapist looks around nervously, there's nobody else on the block*

_{"You mean ...me?"}

 

[Alferd_Packer]

It's a nice fantasy, but probably won't happen.

I's sure the Aryan Brotherhood will stand up for him.

(or maybe not, with him being a "short eyes" and all)

I find it a little creepy how much people in this thread are enjoying the idea of prison rape.

If I hear he kicked a cat, that'll be the last straw!

There isn't enough bad things that can happen to these toothless idiots. Really, there's not.

Do you feel he deserves better? What has he done to merit better treatment or even a modicum of sympathy?

And the best part is, had he done the right thing, none of this conjecture and apparently creepy glee would have happened. All he had to do was not try and have sex with underage girls and molest his granddaughter. It's not rocket surgery.

It's not prison rape I find funny, it's the fact that he'll be the one having unwanted sexual encounters. With adults! Some of whom are black, the very people he hates!

Do you think the first guy coming after him he'll turn down... "Too old, too dark. Sorry, you're not my style."

 

[Lamuella]

Do you feel he deserves better?

Yes, i think he deserves better than to be raped in prison. I'm not sure how this is a controversial stance.

What has he done to merit better treatment or even a modicum of sympathy?

It's not a matter of what he's done. What he has done is enough to get him removed from society, put in a small box and forgotten about for many years.

The question is what gives us the right to, essentially, sentence someone to be sexually assaulted.

Prison rape is a disgusting thing. It's a horrifying display of savagery and brutality, and taking enjoyment in its occurrence is condoning it as an acceptable aspect of the justice system. I find that sick.

And the best part is, had he done the right thing, none of this conjecture and apparently creepy glee would have happened. All he had to do was not try and have sex with underage girls and molest his granddaughter. It's not rocket surgery.

We all agree that what he did was wrong and should get him taken away from society. The largest part of what he did wrong was to commit (or plan to commit) sexual assault. If we all agree that the sexual assault he perpetrated was wrong, how can we cheer on the idea of him being sexually assaulted?

Prison rape is a horribly common, deeply disgusting thing. It sickens me to see people taking enjoyment out of it.

 

[AvalonXQ]

Do you feel he deserves better?

Yes, absolutely he does.

Every person that we as a society choose to force in a confined space, needs to be protected from violent assault and other harm in that space.

Prisons need to be safe; when they're not, we've failed an obligation we have as a society.

When we come to accept as a culture that they are not safe, to the point where being illegally assaulted and harmed in prison is seen as part of the punishment, we have lost a fair bit of our moral compass as a society.

If you think this man deserves to be raped, then get it added to his criminal sentence. Until you do that, he deserves the same treatment and protections under the law as everyone else.

 

[Lamuella]

It's not prison rape I find funny, it's the fact that he'll be the one having unwanted sexual encounters.

So it's not prison rape you find funny, it's the fact that he will be... raped in prison?

Can someone point out the distinction to me?

 

[Rasmus]

Do you feel he deserves better?

Yes, I do.

There's this thing we call "human rights" - and there is a reason it is not called "nice people who we get along with just fine rights".

What has he done to merit better treatment or even a modicum of sympathy?

He's been born. He deserves better treatment by virtue of being human. I'd rather not have that up to disposition by whoever happens to be in power, than k you very much.

And the best part is, had he done the right thing, none of this conjecture and apparently creepy glee would have happened. All he had to do was not try and have sex with underage girls and molest his granddaughter. It's not rocket surgery.

Apparently the idea that punishment is decided by the courts rather than whoever happens to be in prison at the same time as you seems to be, though. At least a lot of people seem to find the concept hard to grasp.

 

[headscratcher4]

Ok, creepy as it is, I understand bringing the "sex toys" but was he going to try an convince them to join the Klan after their little encounter? "Ah, thanks for all that great love'n you sweet young thing...hey, have you ever thought -- like after an encounter like this with someone's grandfather, about how blacks are mongralizing the nation and Jews are running everything? No? Well, maybe I could leave you with some information..."
