Family of Oklahoma murder victim Ivy Webster wants to pass a nationwide law named after a school mascot

It is easy to see that this online petition written  by the Webster family in Oklahoma is fueled by animus. When they say those on the registry should have NO constitutional rights, it merely proves they are fueled by blind hatred. There are a few things about it that stand out to me:

1. We should never have laws named after a person, but naming laws after a school mascot is just flat out stupid. 

2. You cannot retroactively extend probation/parole  status because that is punishment and that would violate double jeopardy. (I can't expect trailer trash to understand constitutional law). 

3. Backgrounds checks for marriage certificates sounds completely sexist and violate anti-doscrimination laws.

"It is our very strong believe that sex offenders CAN NOT BE REHABILITATED!! Did you know that when a child is sexually abused they are traumatized and affected with several issues their ENTIRE LIFE? Not just PTSD, panic attacks, paranoia, but also actual permanent nerve damage as well, It is a real dilemma. So if a person can sexually assault a child of any age, and they have life long trauma from that, isn't it fair that the offender be sentenced to life in prison without parole?? We absolutely think so. If they have the nerve to ruin a child's chance at a normal life, they deserve NO SECOND CHANCES. Majority of sex crimes against children go unreported, because the children and parents have to go through way too much to put that offender away for a maximum of 20 years. Their probation terms are also too relaxed. Why does a person who commits a sex crime against a child not required to have home checks done monthly? Why are they allowed to marry people with children, or even have their own children?..Child sex offenders deserve way worse than anything they will get for their offences.

We're asking that a person CONVICTED of a sex crime against a child serve life in prison without the possibility of parole. We ask that the probationary terms of those already released from prison for child sex offenses be reevaluated, and we ask for their probation terms to include monthly home visits.; Their offences clearly to state they committed sex crimes against a CHILD (if you go to odcr or the sex offender registry it shows the offense, but not that the offense was against a child).; If they go to a courthouse to obtain a marriage license that their proposed spouse interviewed to make sure they do not have children and are aware of the crime(s) that they committed.; We are also asking that sex offenders convicted of crime(s) against children rights be taken to have their own children. If they have the nerve to ruin a child's life they deserve not to have thier own child(ren). Having children is not a human right if you ruined the life of a child. And if you ruin a child's life you deserve NO CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!

We are also asking that it be mandated that all city police stations and schools in Oklahoma have a board set up with all local sex offenders pictures and information on them and kept up to date. This is so important so we can help our local people, police, and school staff aware of offenders in our area because the man responsible for these horrendous murders, like other offenders, are able to manipulate people into believe false information, especially when you can't see details of the court case and it is not labeled that they committed crimes against children.

We would like to name this law "The Knights Law" in honor of our beautiful Knights who's lives were tragically taken from them.

They also want background checks on all marriage applications. If one party is identified as a sex offender—the other person needs to know, and the marriage would be denied if the non-offender has minor children. These are the two big pointers Ivy Webster’s dad Justin and her cousin Tiffany Troy discussed the effort with FOX23’s Scott Martin. Both hope to have a universal law nationwide.

“A lot of offenders have previously been assaulted as a minor child and then we they become an adult and try to seek out that power and take back what was taken from them. But when they do that, they go and assault another child. If we can get those people off the street permanently, then we’re hoping to stop that generational cycle from happening,” said Troy.

The family is working closely with District 16 State Rep. Scott Fetgatter. He first brought up Knight’s Law during the last legislative session. He’s been working with the Webster family to narrow down the big things that need to change.

GoFundMe created for violent vigilante Levi Axtell taken down due to TOS violations

Last week, 27-year old Levi Axtell murdered 77-year-old Lawrence Scully in cold blood because of a 40-year-old sex crime conviction, and now the family seeks to profit off the murders. Profiting off vigilante violence should be outlawed outright, but at least GoFundMe answered calls from concerned citizens about this dubious fundraiser:

The facts of the case, most of which as told by the Star-Tribune, are as follows:

1. Lawrence Scully's offense was in 1979 and was free since 1982 and not convicted of any further offenses. 
2. Levi Axtell pled guilty to a felony charge of vandalizing a priest's car and served 3 years probation and his conviction was dismissed after probation time was up. 
3. Axtell made numerous unfounded (read: false) allegations against Scully, including filing a RO against Scully claiming Scully was "stalking" his 2 year old daughter and called Scully a "convicted pedophile." 
4. Axtell made violent posts including the oft-shared meme of a menacing man pointing a shotgun at the camera with the words "Only cure for pedophiles. A bullet." He added the comment, "People always ask me why I hate pedophiles. They assume I've been abused. But really I think being protective is just an Axtell trait."
5. Lawrence Scully was a frail 77 year old man who was violently beaten in his own home. Axtell was intoxicated.

The reality is Levi Axtell was a drunk and a violent man who got off too lightly in the past. The police knew Axtell was making numerous unfounded claims. The judge saw no evidence whatsoever of Axtell's claims. Axtell posted violent rhetoric. How can he not be charged with a first degree murder charge. 

At least for the moment, the Axtell family will have to exploit this tragegy by other means.

HOW TO REPORT A VIGILANTE FUNDRAISER:

1. Go the link and scroll down below the description. Below that is "words of support" and below that is a flag symbol with the words "Report Fundraiser."

2. A new page pops up that says "What it means to report a fundraiser". Here you'll see a statement about reporting, along with the following options:

How to report a fundraiser

Please let us know how we can help you:

• Donors: Request a refund and report a fundraiser you donated to
• Beneficiaries: Report a fundraiser you are owed funds from
• Report a fundraiser only -- CHOOSE THIS OPTION

3. You will have a form to fill out where it asks your name, phone # and email. It will ask if you know the people personally (select No) and how you're connected to this fundraiser (I chose "I'm an individual concerned about this fundraiser") then you must write why you believe the fundraiser.

Note that under GoFundMe's terms of service under "PROHIBITED CONDUCT," such fundraisers violate rule 4 (raising money for vigilante actions) and 9 (raising money for violent crimes). see: https://www.gofundme.com/c/terms

______________________________________________

It seems that I was correct in reporting the Axtell fundraiser as fraud, too. Katrina Axtell implies she carefully worded the fundraiser to not be considered a violation due to raising money for legal defense, but she admitted she wants people to send her money for legal fees. So the Axtell family is not to be trusted with your money! 

"Shoot Your Local Pedophile" merchandise is connected to far-right extremist group "Proud Boys"

 This blog has already covered both merchandise containing the slogan "shoot/kill/hang your local pedophile/sex offender" and the far right extremist group, the Proud Boys. However, I've never really made the connection until now that the "shoot your local pedophile" and related slogans were mostly used by the Proud Boys until recently. It seems like the phrase was intended to be, in part, a show of support for the Kyle Rittenhouse, who murdered two protesters in Kenosha WI. One of Rittenhouse's victims was a Person Forced to Register, which was used as a defense for committing murder. 

As seen on the now-removed Proud Boys website, the Proud Boys were selling "Kill Your Local Pedophile" t-shirts:

Similar merchandise also appeared on the 1776 store, another Proud Boys front:

Some news reports have also documented the use of this slogan during protests in which Proud Boys members participated:

https://www.vice.com/en/article/xgdxx3/protesters-kenosha-jury-rittenhouse

Tensions are rising outside the Kenosha County Courthouse in Wisconsin where jurors are deliberating the fate of Kyle Rittenhouse, the 18-year-old facing intentional homicide charges for shooting three people and killing two during a protest in August 2020. Gaggles of his right-wing supporters, including at least one waving a giant “Let’s Go Brandon” flag, which is a conservative meme making fun of President Joe Biden, were already congregating outside the courthouse Tuesday, the first day of deliberations. Several burly men, including one with a hat saying “Shoot Your Local Pedophile,” lined up on the steps. 

Meanwhile, activists, including some who were wearing T-shirts saying “Fuck Kyle,” called for Rittenhouse’s conviction. Both groups came with megaphones and got into shouting matches. Earlier in the day, photographer Alex Kent captured a man in a pickup truck doing a Nazi salute in the direction of Black Lives Matter protesters outside the courthouse.

Opposition to vaccine mandates and the expansion of powers by the state and federal government were a common theme expressed at a small and peaceful rally held Saturday at the Ceres River Bluff Regional Park. Gathering at noon were representatives of conservative and patriotic groups who advocated pushing back against controversial policies that have governments mandating COVID vaccines as a condition of employment and attendance at public schools....

Debra Hunt offered assistance to any parent wishing to pull their children out of public schools because of the state COVID vaccine mandates to home school them... Hunt, who described herself as a conservative who disagrees with vaccine mandates, said she was a bit shocked to see members of the Echo Company of the California State Militia and the controversial Proud Boys. At least one member of the Proud Boys donned a ball cap that read “Shoot your local pedophile” and a shirt with an emblem featuring brass knuckles and a military style rifle and the words: “Proud Boys American as F---.” “I’m not against the Proud Boys. I respect their freedom loving but the Militia is the one that was like, wait, what? Why am I in a place with the Militia?” laughed Hunt. She noted that militia members were nice and respectful and supportive.

Proud Boys, QAnon supporters, and many Anonymous sects all use similar symbolism, along with other similar slogans including QAnon's "#SaveTheChildren" campaigns. But at the heart of all thse groups are terrorism and extremism, and all these dangerous groups should not be allowed to spread their filthy propaganda. 

Vigilantes who target child abusers often ‘commit offences themselves’

"Across the Pond" (as the British like to say), there is a very similar problem with vigilantes. According to this brief article, many vigilantes commit crimes during their vigilante actions, and vigilante groups attract domestic abusers and others with a lack of volitionakl control. Much of that behavior can be seen in the people profiled here over the years.  

https://www.theweek.co.uk/104198/why-police-are-worried-about-increase-in-paedophile-hunters

UK police have voiced major concerns about the activities of socalled paedophile hunters who attempt to entrap potential child sex offenders without the help of authorities.

According to the BBC, such vigiliante groups often contain members who set up fake profiles on social media, purportedly belonging to teenagers, and wait for adults to contact them.

The broadcaster says that once contact has been made they will then “confront the suspect, usually filming the operation, before handing their evidence to the police”.

This week Dan Vajzovic, of the National Police Chiefs' Council, warned against this form of activism. He claimed hunters “often divert police resources away from other offenders and often commit offences themselves during their operations”, including “extortion, blackmail and exhibiting violence against those that they are targeting”.

According to ITV News, some police “fear that the groups’ actions could interfere with surveillance operations, while the evidence they gather may not be of a high enough standard to use for prosecution” anyway.

Former police chief Jim Gamble told the Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse in early 2018 that “masquerading as a child online should become a criminal offence to deter vigilante stings”.  He also told The Telegraph this summer that such groups “attract people with domestic abuse records and coercive control. They give people the opportunity to reinvent themselves as a good person and create this status, to build a Facebook or a Twitter following.” 

The National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children (NSPCC) said that while it had “sympathy” for those who target suspected abusers, protecting children was its “ultimate priority”.

“If someone has concerns about child safety the best way they can help is to alert the police,” the society warned.

But Paddy Tipping, the police and crime commissioner for Nottinghamshire, said in April last year that police in his area should try to form “better relationships” with vigilante groups.  A recent freedom of information request filed by the BBC has shown that last year prosecutors used evidence by so-called paedophile hunters in more than 250 cases against suspected abusers.

Explosion of people selling T-Shirts and merchandise calling for murdering "Pedophiles" and "sex Offenders" on major online sellers

 Both ACSOL anf FAC have posted action alerts calling for us to pressure online retailers to stop allowing merchandise that promotes vigilante violence against Registered Person and/or "pedophiles." 

https://floridaactioncommittee.org/acsol-action-alert-kill-a-pedophile-merchandise/

I think this is a good start, but I think complaining about a specific seller will not be enough. This has actually been an issue for a while. In fact, I made a similar action alert earlier this year. So instead, we should contact these companies and demand they stop selling material with slogans like "Shoot Your Local Pedophile" or similar derogatory and violent statements.

One particularly vile company that sells this drivel is "Killer Culture Shop." Below are a few pics from this piece of trash. If you want to tell this loser off, jhis email is killercultureshop@gmail.com

There are plenty more of these scummy individuals selling such merchandise, but Donnie Wymer is the scummiest of them all. Wymer spent the entire weekend crying to his friends about being outed as a vigilante and making explicit threats. Gee, I can't imagine why Tasha divorced him. Someone find him a baby bottle, he needs to refuel! LOL

PS: By the way, Donnie the Douche, my offer to buy shirts from you still stands if you take make some "Donnie Wymer takes it in the ass" then deliver them by cramming them up your rectum. I'll order more shirts than you have sold this decade, but you apparently don't want to make any money. We just moved on to bigger things because you're a small time twat that sells like 5 t shirts among your friends and family. 

No peace for poorly quality T shirt hatemongers!

They must not be selling that many of them so I suspect he's hoping to generate controversy just to sell a few shitty quality prints:
