The body of Zina Linnik was found today (Saturday) in Tacoma, Washington, based on information from a convicted sex offender who has been arrested in connection with her abduction, sexual torture, and death. Final charges have not been filed, and there has not been any trial. But available information now indicates that the man responsible is Terapon Adhahn, 42, an illegal alien who had been convicted in 1990 of incest against an underage relative.
He should have been deported then as a result of that conviction. He wasn’t. As a representative of the Immigration Service said in one article about this subject, “We lost track of him.” Indeed. The police and courts in Tacoma were not much better in keeping track of this criminal alien.
Thus it was that on the 4th of July, Adhahn was in his grey van on the street where Zina was going home to get her siblings to come out to watch fireworks. He apparently snatched her off the street. Her father was close enough to hear her scream, see the van, get part of the license plate, and find his daughter’s shoe.
Within 24 hours, the police had found the van, found Adhahn, and developed information to find Zina’s body, and arrest Adhahn on the initial charge of immigration violations. Other charges will follow.
Why did this happen? Who is responsible?
It happened because that’s what pedophiles do. One of the most repetitious crimes of all is preying on children. Such criminals will almost always repeat their crimes until they are jailed or executed. But Adhahn was not jailed or executed. He was also not deported.
I have two daughters and four granddaughters. If any human slime did something like this to any of them, I would be wild with grief, and furious with anger at all responsible for this fate.
The main responsibility is the criminal himself. But in situations like this one, many other people share part of the blame.
Consider Amber Alerts, Megan’s Law, and Jessica’s Law. All these began with the horrible death of one young girl in one state. All spread to most states in the union because they have the capacity to save the lives of other young girls from the horrors of pedophiles. Do we need more laws to protect other young girls from the fate of Zina? No we don’t.
We already HAVE Zina’s Laws. They are the immigration laws of the United States. They require that a pedophile like Adhahn MUST be deported after their first conviction. It is bureaucrats drawing their checks and sitting on their duffs, who have not enforced these laws. It is Members of Congress drawing their (recently increased) checks and sitting on their duffs, who have not both insisted on and paid for enforcement of these laws. It is a President who is drawing his checks and sitting on his duff, who is allowing Border Patrol agents to rot in jail rather than backing them up in doing their jobs.
Notice I have in no way condemned the dedicated but overmatched Border Patrol agents themselves.
How many Americans are exposed to attacks and death due to the failure to enforce Zina’s Laws? A study by the Violent Crimes in Atlanta, released in May, 2006, concluded that there are about 240,00 illegal immigrants in the United States as of then, who are sex offenders. These criminals had about four victims each. The study deals with the propensities of these criminals to “advance” to murder as well as sexual abuse, and the comparative tendencies of this group to commit crimes, compared to others.
We cannot jail the politicians who allowed Zina to be tortured and killed at the age of 12. But can we at least turn our rage on them so they either act to prevent future acts like this, or flee their offices in fear of our rage? Don’t we owe that to Zina, and all the little girls like her?

I am furious. Are you? What are we going to do about it?
Furious? I was 'furious' 4 years ago, when the same thing was happening and good Americans were soundly smacked down if they tried to address the problem. And I didn't get 'furious' soon enough. It took being smacked up side the head with the invasion up close and personal to see how bad it is.
This particular case is devastating and we all share part of the blame for not speaking up sooner. A good innocent immigrant murdered by one that should have been deported and it happens on the 4th of July. That's pretty bad.

It is hard to fathom how anyone could bury an axe in the head of an innocent nine-year-old boy, but that was the unimaginable fate of Jordin Paulder of Fulton County, Georgia, on June 5. The killer was "Honduran native" Santos Benigno Cabrera Borjas.[snip]
The open borders bunch in Washington don't care what KIND of "immigrants" come to America, as long as the cheap labor keeps flowing. I have become a big believer of frontier justice in cases like this.
At the old KI Sawyer AFB on the upper pennisula of Michigan, the old B52 base had a very protected area to house the ready crews for the constant alert B-52s. The old SAC bases had these areas, and the areas were securely fenced. The old alert facility would be a good place to house these slaeazy criminals and make them walk to the dining facility in the nude in the winter. If certain anatomy parts froze, so much the better.
Like I said, AuntB, we are on our own out here in the wilds-of-America. We can't go Rambo or postal-gonzo on anybody that we think deserves it, but there are things we can do individually to enhance our protection.
Naturally, we should all be armed at all times, when possible. Just about everything else involves practicing being 'politically-incorrect'. Personally, I profile the people around me all the time, and I know where the mosques are nearest me, and, in the surrounding Counties.
When we think about it seriously, it's amazing just how much of the 'Political-Correctness' crap has been insinuated into all of our lives. Getting rid of it is a must. .................... FRegards
