What About Their Civil Rights?

Posted by Playful Walrus on Wednesday, January 07, 2009 1:01:11 PM
I’m going to apply what I've learned over much of the past few years, especially the last year, to the sordid accusations against Alton Smith Jr., Tina Marie Smith, and Kristilyn Smith of Palm Coast, Florida. Alton is married to Tina, and Kistilyn is Alton's adult daughter.  She has a 7-year-old autistic son.  Remember that everyone is to be considered innocent until pronounced guilty by a court of law.  Be forewarned – you might find this information disturbing... but only because you are a bigot and a closet case who secretly wants to do all of this stuff, too.

Here are the basics.  Kristilyn was arrested for prostitution.  A subsequent investigation led the authorities to charge her father and stepmother (with whom she lives) with multiple counts related to child pornography and child molestation, as they allegedly have pictures and video from the last ten years of children as young as 8 posing and engaging in sex acts with each other and themselves (Alton and Tina Maria).

This article states that prosecutors said Kristilyn's son was fathered by her father, Alton.

Kristilyn has been arrested and charged for incest with her father.  Her father has also been charged with that crime.
According to a news release, witnesses told investigators that Kristilyn Smith had sex with her 46-year-old father in August 2008 at the family’s Carlos Court home in Palm Coast.
Who are these witnesses?  And it is plural.  Do you mean to tell me that more than one person claims to have been standing in the room while this guy and his adult daughter did this?  Are these witnesses now writing a script for Law & Order: SVU?
The images were discovered during an investigation into a prostitution ring that investigators said Kristilyn Smith ran out of the home.
Now hold on a minute.  "Consenting adults” and all of that.  She wasn’t cluttering up a sidewalk somewhere.  Is she not allowed to run a home business?  Using the whole civil rights and the insistence that there must always be warrants and they must be only for serious and dangerous offenses, and we know from what so many people say that prostitution doesn't hurt anyone, all the evidence about the other "crimes" should be thrown out.

For what it is worth, a defense attorney, taking a cue from Connie Chung's husband, says that the Alton is not the biological father of the autistic kid – that the biological father's whereabouts are unknown.  That’s a hard story to swallow.  I mean, what guy would flee a situation like that?  Or was he just a casual customer?

But let's get back to what we've learned thanks to our enlightened friends.
  • "Love is love".  I want to see demonstrations in the streets calling for the dismissal of the incest charges against the father and daughter, who is an adult.  Leave them alone.  How does their relationship hurt you?  I'm sure there are studies and experts out there who will say there is no harm to kids in these situations.  They haven't asked for a marriage license, but as we all know, there is a right to a state-issued marriage license, so if they ask they must be given one.  (By all means, keep the child molestation charges in place.  Drop the ones about the child porn, though – after all, we don't have proof that these people aren't highly talented animators who created virtual images.)
  • If there was incest and prostitution, that is in no way related to the child molestation and pornography.  They are entirely separate issues, because some child molesters don't engage in incest or prostitution.  They shouldn't even be mentioned in the same articles.
  • If the prosecutors are right about the conception of the child, well, that's just a matter of "reproductive rights".  After all, how can someone believe in reproductive rights, including abortion and a right to IVF, and say that doesn't apply to a woman choosing to reproduce with the person she loves?  Who are you to say anything about her sexual orientation?
  • If the child has autism, well, that's not an indication that the child was harmed as a result of the circumstances of his conception.  We all know that autism is caused by vaccines and fluoride in the water, and as I'm sure John Edwards can argue, the doctor who delivers the babies.
  • If any of this disgusts you, you are simply a bigot.  After all, interracial marriage was once considered disgusting by some people.

Where Has the Time Gone?

Posted by Playful Walrus on Tuesday, September 23, 2008 9:49:53 AM
I apologize for not blogging yesterday.  I was out making a bunch of bad loans so that I could either make money from people somehow making the payments or from the taxpayers buying me out.

If you're new to the Playful Walrus, I usually blog two or three times a day Monday-Thursday, and sometimes make a few entries Friday-Sunday.

Thanks for stopping by and for your feedback.
