Israel Lugo said he, his family and neighbors called police three times between 2011 and 2012 after seeing disturbing things at the home of Ariel Castro. Lugo lives two houses down from Castro and grew suspicious after neighbors reported seeing naked women on leashes crawling on all fours behind Castro’s house.
Lugo said about two years ago his sister told him she heard a woman pounding on a window at Castro’s home as if she needed help. When his sister looked up, she saw a woman and a baby standing in a window half covered with a wooden plank. His sister told him and Lugo called the police.
A third call came from neighborhood women who lived in an apartment building. Those women told Lugo they called police because they saw three young girls crawling on all fours naked with dog leashes around their necks. Three men were controlling them in the backyard. The women told Lugo they waited two hours but police never responded to the calls.
But if a seven year old holds a pencil like a gun, the authorities are all over it.
I like the title. Linked to your post from 2nd Amendment In Action.
Jaycee Duggard got millions from California because institutional incompetence kept her in captivity years after she should have been rescued.
I think these young women are owed compensation for the incompetence of the Cleveland PD.
In my world, the cops are there to haul off the intruder’s body and write a report, and that’s all. The Constitution and I are the law on my land.
I heard a statement by the spokesperson from the school district where that evil pencil holder is from. She said that holding a pencil like a weapon “made it a weapon.” If I hold a slip of paper like a $5 bill, will that get me a latte at Starbucks?
We could cut the military budget by 99.999%, by simply replacing all of the existing weapons with pencils.
