Janice’s Journal: Pedophiles Deserve Death Penalty

The son of Rev. Billy Graham, Rev. Franklin Graham, declared on National Public Radio this weekend that pedophiles deserve the death penalty. He also declared that we are a nation of laws.

Not only is Rev. Graham’s first statement outrageous, it is undermined and contradicted by his second statement. Why? Because the laws in many states do not include the death penalty. Furthermore, most of the 31 states that do have a death penalty law do not apply that law to an individual who is convicted solely of a sex offense.

It is noteworthy that Rev. Graham made this outrageous statement during an interview that was not on the topic of either pedophiles or the death penalty. Instead, the topic of the interview was advertised as an evangelist’s view of President Donald Trump.

It is also noteworthy that Rev. Graham’s views on pedophiles appear to be based upon a common mistake. That is, he appears to believe that the term pedophile is synonymous with the terms sex offender, child molester, sexual predator, etc.

It is a mistake made by many people who should or actually do know better including at least one Superior Court judge in Long Beach, California. That judge, in fact, declared in a public court hearing that all of the terms were synonyms. He then added that if he asked 10 people on the street, 9 people would have agreed with him. He also said that all such individuals are monsters, they always do it again and there is no cure.

An important question for society is why educated individuals, including but not limited to, ministers and judges feel comfortable making such outrageous statements in very public places. The answer may be that those who know the truth — that pedophilia is a medical diagnosis and not a crime — are afraid to speak out.

Another important question is why educated individuals would advocate the death penalty for someone diagnosed with a medical condition. Do they advocate that individuals diagnosed with other medical conditions such as cancer and diabetes also deserve the death penalty? Of course not! Instead, they advocate for adequate medical care and attention. It’s time to speak out on this important topic.

It’s time to speak truth to power. You can do so by writing toRev. Franklin Graham at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, 1 Billy Graham Parkway, Charlotte, NC 28201 or calling him at (704) 401-2432.

Please Help! Captive on a mountain! Being patrolled all hours of day and night by neighbors who ha e been threatening my son and I because I am a 290 registrant. It is near midnight and every couple of minutes they drive by. I am on parole. No CDCR contact on weekends. All agencies refer you to 911 and we have called they do not respond. No call no show on 911 twice! Lives in DANGER! Shooting on all sides of us all evening in a posted no shooting zone. Hours of volleys of bullets. Help we are in Seqouia Crest called Springville CA 93265. See my log posted on SOSEN copied and pasted below!

Well friends how about this one. A man comes to my property and identified himself as a board member of the POA and a director of the snow removal board as well as a board member of the local water company. He said he gathers the information on property owners to keep a database to update locals on POA and other entity activities and votes. I of course cooperated and informed the man I am a registered citizen on parole. The man then illegally without my consent disseminated my information to other POA members and in league they called the County, my PO and even the realtor my son is purchasing the neighboring property through. All in a conspiracy to force me off my property because I am a registered citizen. Claiming I am violating County laws by living in an RV on my property they use this in a Colour of Law fashion to suppress my rights to secure my property and secure myself and property against illegal search and seizure. Siezure? Yes because the County seeks to encumber my property and have me removed as a result of the actions of these people. They have also tried to thwart my son’s purchase which violated his right to secure property. Not only that but our basic rights uninaleienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. For two days in a row this group has assembled as a mob on the main road at my property boundaries to try and intimidate me. I served the main culpret a Mr. Kurt Wendelyn with a Federal Form COL yesterday and the mob assembled without his presence today. Today I was able to get them on video and confront them. Here is a link you can download https://drive.google.com/file/d/1232tYSHGtkDOgumGytaj_tYnwx0zN0_h/view?usp=drivesdk
I need help from anyone who can help me to provide a brief to the attorney general for the State of California as I have difficulty writing or typing for very long due to my Parkinson’s. I think I also need to file in federal court against these individuals and the county of Tulare. If so and anyone would organize a demonstration to pressure the Court to act it would help me and anyone who suffers this in the future. Basically these folks are using the registry and my status as a registered citizen to harass and intimidate me.

LIFE IN DANGER! NO HELP FROM 911!
« on: Today at 07:43:52 PM »

I recently made a post on the NARSOL NEWS article on the front page of the SOSEN website. Instead of these folks calming down under the reality of possible prison time and law suits. They have escalated. Today a man came on behalf of Kurt Wendelyn, the instigator of all of these passed few days of madness. This man says his name is Skip Rouch and he has permission from the neighbors to check on their home. Then proceeded to tell me the biggest $*@#()$! mistake I ever made was to serve papers on his best friend Kurt Wendelyn. Then he began to threaten us saying he would take us out by force if he needs to for his friend. I told him Kurt had been harassing us for days and now he is acting in conspiracy with him and he steps off his bike and walks towards me and I said Sir you are trespassing. My son stepped in front of me and the man moved back and went about twenty feet and said he is no longer on my property he is on the easement road. I told him that road is for owners of property only. Now he is still tresspassing. He says there is no signs for no tresspassing. I said I just told you in person. You are not and we’re not invited here. He then went back farther to the property line and said now I am not on your road or lot! Ha! Gonna sue me too?! Huh you sicko motherf-er?! Spew some more bullshit! My son said that is my lot now sir please leave. I sent him to call 911 and the man got on his bike and stated he would be back. He sat at the bottom of the lots on the main road to hear my son calling 911. Then he drove off. All day the other POA members have been driving by and making insults so we started recording them and so they just drive by real slow and stare up at us or up at the property and then speed up and drive away. So guess what? No cops ever came or called or anything. We are left here at the mercy of these loons and they started shooting guns all over the neighborhood this afternoon. Shooting in a no shooting zone mind you. Remember this is a community with like 15 full time residents. Now they basically have a green light to do as they please. So they have all become very braisen to stop below our lot on the main road and video tape us. So we put up a temporary border next to our RVs up a hill. Like a premade one and the main culpret came to that lower mainland road spot and took video saying now we have them putting up tarps and tents, while talking to a person on the phone. He was speaking about the barrier. Which is steel poles and a green netting like a tennis net. Shooting continued into the evening. I fear this may be my last night on Earth. If so, I wanted a record for my friends and family to know what happened. I pray my son survives if they come for us tonight. We have no way to leave. There is only one way out and they are keeping a person on the road, my son was walking our dog see, he ran into this guy who turned him around. It is sad that we never get to have any peace no matter how hard we try to live right. I moved here to be far away from people wanting to get the evil sex offender. Yet, here I am with 15 neighbors in the area and my life in danger. Go figure. I have kept a video log on my phone. Hopefully it can be found if I never post again. I have told my son of the organization and of my post as well as my Mother.

We were patrolled by these sex offender hunters all night. Round and round the road they go. I am so tired. My son and I are taking turns staying awake. We never know what moment these people will tresspass. It happens over and over. They take turns so that at least one event of tresspass and threat of harm happens each day. The county is basically acting on the behalf of these folks even when we are the ones calling for help. Our location is 54801 Alder Wy, Springville CA. All we know is between my state parole requirements and the county of Tulare refusing to aid us, we are in danger and left to the mercy of these people who repeatedly break the law. To the law enforcement I am just a sex offender and therefore my testimony holds no water compared to these long standing “pillars of the community”. We are living in fear and it is having some consequences to my health, let alone we fear they will eventually be so bold as to feel they actually will follow through with their threats of harm.

I am afraid any law enforcement will side with the Sheriff. After all doesn’t the FBI and US Marshall spend a large portion of time arresting sex offenders? Yeah, I feel like they would choose to come after me and my son vs give us aid.

Now there has been a biker gang surround the property on the main road while dark. Where did they come from? We could see from our window they had this Skip guy with them. They left after some comments and my son and I stayed inside . It seems like they are testing law enforcement to see what they can get away with. So far, anything seems to go. I think we need some federal protective custody. Only the FBI and Attorney General and every other agency we call or look up says for emergency call 911! No regard to WE HAVE AND THEY DON’T RESPOND! At some point they will act on their threats and we will likely cease to exist. What a crazy world.

@ Larry Edwards, this is the Internet and as a rule of thumb I’m skeptical of the Internet, but presuming your fears are real, I would ask, “Can you son buy or own a gun?” If so, he should buy 2, one for you and one for him. I know. I know, you cannot own, possess or have access to a gun, so both for him. However, if the guns were locked in your son’s truck and he kept the keys, then maybe People v. King would apply in an emergency situation if you are attacked :

“As we shall explain, we have concluded that in enacting section 12021 [felon with a gun] the Legislature did not intend to deny persons described by that section the right to use a concealable firearm in defense of self or others in emergency situations, and that in this case it was error to refuse to give instructions on self-defense. Because the omission of these instructions denied defendant his right to have the jury consider issues material to his guilt, we reverse the conviction. (People v. Sedeno (1974) 10 Cal. 3d 703, 721 [112 Cal. Rptr. 1, 518 P.2d 913].)

“Because the right to instructions on self-defense is the central issue in this appeal, fn. 2 our recital of the evidence introduced at trial is necessarily [22 Cal. 3d 16] one emphasizing matters which would justify such instructions, rather than the customary summary of evidence supporting the judgment. (See, e.g., People v. Holt (1944) 25 Cal. 2d 59, 62 [153 P.2d 21]; People v. Jackson (1965) 233 Cal. App. 2d 639, 640 [43 Cal. Rptr. 817].)”

This means there would have to be real and credible thereat to life or limb to you or your son that a reasonable juror would agree with. You cannot shoot people because they call you names. Everybody thinks they are police, prosecutor and judge handing down another sentence and I’m sick of it, but be sure this opinion is still good law.

I’m glad you mentioned this…a great point!

“Another important question is why educated individuals would advocate the death penalty for someone diagnosed with a medical condition.”

the mission of the legislature across the US was to “rape the rapists.” Those convicted prior to their state’s Megans law most likely feel more raped because they were not notified of these provisions before signing their life away. I was one of them. How is it possible this could happen? Because I feel that they took the worst case of child abuse and applied it to ALL sex offenders and their goal was to rape all of us mentally. i, for one have been raped by the state of Florida.

In 1945, George W. Bush married Barbara Pierce. She was 16 years old and he was 21. That is considered a sex offender on today’s law so George W. Bush could and should have been put on SO Registry, if he was still alive he could and should have been made to register as Sex Offender and they have made everyone who committed a sex offence before megans law have been made to retroactively register.
