More Body Bags Reportedly Taken From Rapist's Ohio House: 10 Bodies Found
FOX NEWS ^ | 11/3/2009 | Fox News

Posted on 11/03/2009 1:23:04 PM PST by Dallas59



More body bags were reportedly taken from the backyard of the Ohio home of convicted sexual predator Anthony Sowell on Tuesday, Fox 8 Cleveland reported.

Sowell's neighbors have said they complained for years about a foul smell coming from an area near his house, Fox 8 Cleveland reported.

Now a Cleveland city councilman wants to launch an investigation into whether police and health inspectors failed to pick up on any signs that could have led them to the six bodies around Sowell's house any sooner.

The smell of roting corpses is pretty hard to ignore. Just sayin, maybe someone should put the donut down and get out of the squad car?

The sooner this guy gets strung up by his gonads, the better.

Or maybe another prisoner can administer justice like the guy who did Dahmer.

It’s possible that in that neighborhood there are many other noxious odors. I know firsthand what a decomposing human smells like, and it’s hard to believe that no one cared enough to mention it.

This may clear up a lot of missing persons reports. I don't mean to be morbid or racists or anything, but most of these weirdo mass murderers are white men. It's seem unusual for a black guy to be doing this. I think this is because, for whatever reason, it's a lot easier for white guys to become isolated loners. Black folks just seem to be more gregarious, for whatever reasons.

Maybe we should find out who released this guy from prison and do to him/her/them what this scum was allowed to do because of them.

Has anyone noticed that ALL of these child/women abductions/rapes/murders are committed by CONVICTED sexual predators.

Maybe the solution is to put ALL violent sexual predators in prison FOREVER with no parole. There is no cure for these animals.

PS. I would also be open to the death penalty for anyone the rapes a child. Just sayin’.

Actually, there’s a sausage store right next door to the house, so many people thought the smell was coming from the store.

I think his being skinned alive at the rate of one inch of flesh per day and then salting the wounds each day, would be way too good for him. That's why they don't let people like me become judges. My dog secretes droppings into the yard that's higher on the scale of my respect then someone who would do that to women.

You are not correct. Loner serial killers run in all races. And there are plenty of black loners.

The smell of roting corpses is pretty hard to ignore.

Got this e- mail earlier from a friend. - Tom

Fwiw, was in Cleveland today and decided to drive by the house where the bodies were found. You could smell the decaying stench out in the street. They are currently digging up the backyard and have found 3 more bodies there this afternoon. Brings the total to 10. They are also checking his previous addresses.

He has a past conviction for rape but does not fit the profile of a serial rapist.

According to this freeper thread, blacks are over represented among serial killers.

This kind of thing happened in Philly at least twice while I lived there. Neighbors complained about the smell or carrying on, and no one did anything. In one case it was a black guy with a bunch of dead women, in the other it was a white guy who had dead women and also kept some alive for awhile in the basement. Some of his victims were mentally deficient; not every victim in a bad neighborhood is a prostitute or drug addict.

Unfortunately, if you live in certain neighborhoods, no one cares if you’ve got abandoned cars, dead bodies, missing kids, you name it. You can complain all you want, but nothing happens. Think back to the black neighbors of Jeffery Dahmer who called the police about an Asian kid. The police took white Dahmer’s word that things were ok instead of listening to the black neighbors who were witnesses to a bunch o’craziness. Not trying to play the race card here, just saying that some animals are more equal than others.

Pittsburgh used to have a place called Herr’s Island. It held a huge slaughterhouse back in the 40’s and 50’s. As late as the mid 80’s it still bore the stench of rotting cow flesh. If such an event occurred within a half mile radius of Herr’s Island I doubt the neighbors would notice.

(Herr’s Island has since been cleaned-up and renamed Washington’s Landing. Filled with overpriced condos for the young urban professional crowd who like to jet-ski to work. Ben Rothlisberger used to live there.

Most serial killers in this country are white men because most men in this country are white. Blacks are actually a higher percentage of serial killers than they are of the general population.

It’s underplayed in the media. Remember reading a few months ago about the black man in CA who has just been charged with raping and killing about 15 elderly white women a few decades ago? No? He went on with his life quite nicely for a while. Maybe the police were looking for a white killer. Now - imagine the races being reversed.

Now THAT is an excellent question, my friend.

Thing is, say he was/is?
Unlike the days of GWG, would we ever learn of the association?
Of course not.

So.
I for one and in the total absence of mediot credibility will just assume he *is*. LOL

Yeah, like the 5 blacks(one a woman)that raped, tortured and killed the young white couple 2 years ago and are just now being tried and sentenced for the crime. That's gregarious alright, hanging together in a group raping and killing. Kinda like the crips and the bloods, more examples of gregarious blacks just having good clean group fun.

I am not stereotyping here, but couldn't help myself after your statement about the loner whites and the gregarious blacks.

I would be for the death penalty for anyone who rapes a child.

* * * * * *

I completely understand the sentiment behind that, but that’s a lousy idea. This simply tells the rapist not to leave any witnesses. I think it puts kids in greater danger. Most raped kids, although badly scarred physically and mentally, are left alive.

Plus the margin for error is too great in those cases where theres no DNA. Juries who might be reluctant to sentence a guy to death, probably WOULD vote to put him away for 10 or 15 years. And we don’t even want to think about what vengeful ex wives might accuse husbands of if they’re angry eough.

Actually, I’m afraid of the percentage. If half of people with purple hair and red eyes were serial killers, I’d be very leery of the one purple-haired, red-eyed person I ever met in my life.

Any randomly chosen black man is eight times as likely to be a murderer than a white man. Any randomly chosen man is about eight times more likely to be a murderer than any randomly chosen women.

As for the murders in California, it was local California news, and spread by sites like this. If the races were reversed, it would be national news. I got to read about some young white thugs beating an elderly black fisherman in Baltimore in my local paper.

“No cure” seems to be the scientific opinion.

I read that first, then met and asked a liberal psychiatrist, who also confirmed this scientific conclusion.

I don’t think serial murders of the type being discussed take on a political aspect.

It is a mental illness or willful evil.

Ive had a few liberals try to throw our Bundy as a “typical Republican” when they were unable to debate on issues. I throw our Gacy and they usually shutup

I don’t believe any serial killer took politics into consideration, it’s not mental illness that causes a person to become one, it is simply pure evil IMO.

“...it’s not mental illness that causes a person to become one, it is simply pure evil IMO.”

I said either mental illness OR willful evil, and I will stick with the either/or.

You are, of course, free to ignore mental illness.

It would be interesting to learn the findings of those who could study these people.
