'A parent's worst nightmare' 9-year-old girl sexually assaulted in her bedroom
San Francisco Chronicle ^ | 12/9/4 | Jaxon Van Derbeken

Posted on 12/09/2004 7:41:59 AM PST by SmithL

A convicted sex offender broke into a San Francisco home in the Ingleside district and raped a 9-year-old girl in her bedroom in an hourlong attack that ended when the girl's mother walked into the room, San Francisco police said.

The man, police say, fled on foot and was chased by the girl's father, who at one point struck him with a 2-by-4. The man continued fleeing through several backyards and was captured by police and identified as Roberto Gamero, 36, of San Francisco, police said.

"It's a parent's worst nightmare,'' said San Francisco police Deputy Chief Morris Tabak of Sunday's attack. "It's pretty horrific. All of us who are parents, it sends chills up your spine.''

Gamero, a prior sex offender who was on probation for an earlier domestic violence case in San Mateo County, . . .

Is that type of dog good with children?

Yes... whereas my dog, who is not quite 6 months old, plays rough with me, she knows not to play rough with my daughter who is 4. The only problem is that their tails are powerful and they wag a lot, so theoretically a kid standing behind the dog could get wapped in the face.

Point a gun "gangsta style" like that at me and it'll likely miss.

The sexual perversion rights people will be arguing that this sicko was "born that way"

Too bad the dad didn't catch him, cuz he would've died that way too.

I'm a dad and I'd be in for MURDER! I would have torn that POS apart with my bare hands - they would have had to rely on DNA to ID this POS. Furthermore he would have made it out of the house before he saw this life flash in front of his eyes.

From today's New York Post:

http://www.nypost.com/news/regionalnews/36050.htm

"December 9, 2004 -- A tragic drunken brawl between two brothers on Long Island left one sibling stabbed to death and the other under arrest for the slaying, cops said yesterday.

Robin Alvarado, 17, was arrested at the brothers' Flanders home Tuesday at around 10:30 p.m., shortly after he allegedly took a kitchen carving knife and plunged it into the buttocks of his brother Marvin, 22.

Both men were so drunk that apparently neither was aware the knife had severed an artery, causing the victim to bleed to death, according a third brother, Fermin, 24, who was not involved.

The mortally wounded brother was rushed to Central Suffolk Hospital in Riverhead, where he was pronounced dead.

"It was just a little cut. We didn't think it was fatal. There was hardly any blood," said Fermin. Devin Smith

This would have never happened if Rodriquz were put to death after his first heinous crime...

Exactly so, and the nature of that crime a) identified Rodriguez as a predator and b) made it a moral certainty that he would do it again.

The guy who raped and killed that 11-year old girl in Florida had 13 felony arrests. His first was for smashing a girl over the head and dragging her into the woods (she escaped).

What did society think he was going to do next?

These predators commit horrific offenses not to steal, not to revenge, not to get rich, but for their pleasure in doing them.

If you knock down a little old lady to steal her purse, I can see the case for horsewhipping. If you kidnap a little girl to hurt her, you should be killed as soon as you are caught and found guilty.

It's the only way.

I know a man that killed deer with a .22 after shooting it in the eye. On the other hand, I have shot a barn cat with an entire clip of .22 and watched the kitty actually sit down and shake it's head before it finally layed down for the long nap.

If you can be sure of a spinal hit or one to the cortex, be my guest. If, however, you expect a lot of shaking and darkness and emotion to cloud an event like a B&E, then go with something that does your homework for you.

The lessons are there if you want to see them. Despite what the crack monkeys rap about, 9mm ain't the baddest mutha in the hood. Knocking the scumbags down by shattering their spines and exploding their internal organs is, was and always will be the best approach. It is my belief that the US military selected the 9mm small arms only because of the logistic considerations of being in NATO and little else. As result, your average street thug thinks a the M&M and peanuts is the baddest mo'fo' ever made.

Wrong-O.

Get a solid round that transmits a ton of energy into the target - that usually means a high cross sectional profile. In turn, that usually means a large mass projectile. Make sure that the round goes fast enough to penetrate heavy clothing and winter jackets. Don't go too fast though, because you don't want your magic bullet to exit the perp and decorate the walls. Every caliber has it's strengths and weaknesses, but in the end I believe the .40 caliber class offers the best compromise in all these considerations.

If you imagine the best possible option as a concrete block hitting the bad guy in the chest at 11-1500 feet per second, then you've have got the proper kind of 'best choice' in mind. After that for an appetizer, you only need select the next best ballistic choices.

Think 1950. A handgun in .45 and a .308 in a longarm is awfully hard to beat.

Just my $0.02 worth.

I'm so sorry you had this awful experience. I do so admire you for not aborting the child.
