A 12-year-old girl was abducted and murdered, and what is our good friend Stefan’s response to the arrest of her suspected killer, Terapon Dang Adhahn? The headline: “And He’s a Registered Voter.”
Stefan likes to dismiss me and my fellow progressive bloggers as the crazy “nutroots,” but what kind of sane person would instantly respond to a heart-wrenching tragedy like this by looking up the suspect’s voter registration record? I guess, in Stefan’s mind, Dean Logan has yet more blood on his hands.

YOS LIB BRO spews:
DOOFUS @ 15
THANKS FOR REMINDING ME.
WAS THE CHILD RAPIST A WINGNUT OR A RIGHT WING LOSER?
Richard Pope spews:
Why doesn’t Stefan blame Bush and the REPUBLICANS for this? And specifically, the 41st President George Herbert Walker Bush.
I will start out with the assumption that Terapon Dang Adhahn is NOT a citizen of the United States. The newspaper article says he is in federal custody on an immigration matter. Mr. Adhahn doesn’t show up as a party to any case in federal court, so he is not charged with a federal crime. (A U.S. citizen could possibly be in federal custody on an immigration related matter, but only if charged with an actual crime – well, anything is possible with Gonzo in charge of DOJ.) If held on a pure immigration violation, then he is presumably not a citizen.
If Adhahn is not a citizen now, then he wasn’t a citizen back in 1990 and 1991. Adhahn pleaded guilty to felony incest in Pierce County Superior Court No. 90-1-01326-1 and was sentenced for this felony on September 4, 1990:
http://www.co.pierce.wa.us/cfa.....-1-01326-1
Adhahn should have been deported for this sex offense felony. The responsibility for doing this fell under the U.S. Department of Justice, which was headed by a Republican under G.H.W. Bush.
Had Adhahn been deported back in 1990, he would not have had the opportunity to rape and murder this 12 year old girl (okay, allegedly rape and murder, but it appears from the newspaper article that he has confessed to this crime for all intents and purposes). Nor would he have had the opportunity to improperly register to vote as a non-citizen in Pierce County on March 8, 2002.
Tuor spews:
Violent rape should be a capital offense, punishable by death. Any serious molestation of a child (and by “serious”, I mean somewhat more than groping or taking pictures of them naked) should also be considered a capital offense, punishable by death.
I do not support the idea of “registered” sex offenders: when a person has done their time, they should be allowed to return to being an ordinary citizen, complete with the ability to vote. Instead, we should make the sentence appropriate to the crime.
As for this particular case, if it is proven that this guy is guilty of raping and killing this poor girl, he should be hung by the neck until dead, and it should be televised for all to see. That, in my mind, is an appropriate punishment for his actions.
RightEqualsStupid spews:
This exchange between me and Proud Leftist is so good, I am going to post it in every thread on HA from now on. It destroys the Publicans’ stupid talking points – period.
“I’m working really hard to understand how President Bill Clinton’s actions act as justifcation for the righties. Read this fuckwads.
If your lame ass argument is that Bill Clinton was a bad President – which is what you say – and if your argument now is that the AWOL coward GW Bush is in someway comparable to Bill Clinton, what you are actually saying is that GW Bush is NO BETTER THAN CLINTON.
Does it hurt to be that stupid? I really want to know.
proud leftist says:
RES @ 18
You’ve hit it on the nose. The rightwing fringefucks consider Clinton to be the personification of evil–indeed, he is the devil incarnate in their twisted little minds. Nonetheless, their justification for all of the Bushites’ sins is, always, “well, Clinton did it, too.” Methinks they never studied logic.”
And what’s better, is that the rightie traitor keeps pointing out that this is true. Thanks MTR. Please keep proving my point for me.

You post your ReichtWing propaganda Stefan, and the truth tellers call you on it, and you just can’t handle it. Being shown to be wrong over, and over, with links……
You try to impress your pea brain con readers with your bashing of “liberals”, but never a peep about the tens/hundreds of thousands of innocent people killed because of our invasion of Iraq. You forget to mention the fact that practically the whole world is becoming anti-american. What about the GOP controlled government that had doubled our national debt, and racked up trillions in more debt we may never be able to pay back so the billionaires can keep more of their money.
Stefan Shyster, doesn’t it suck to be a Republicon these days?
If you still think Bush is doing a good job, and Cons are good for America’s future you belong in a rubber room…..
It appears the only thing that matters to today’s cons is greed, unaccountability, secrecy (executive privilege even on Pat Tillman’s death), and lust for hookers or children.
So Stefan. Why don’t you blog on all the people that were covering up Mark Foley’s sexual preferences? Blog who Jeff Gannon Guckert’s White House lover was? You are so into voting issues, you can blog caging lists, or blog on the actions of Ken Blackwell, and Choicepoint, Jeb Bush, and Catherine Harris in 2000.

klake spews:
Goldy you have to admit Stefan makes a great point. Why Adhahn was still in this country after being release from prison and not deported? You know that the Democrats are so desperate for votes that they would pay any price for that vote. Wouldn’t want to really clean up the voter’s registration of who are register illegally in this State. Now that the Democrats run this State why are we still having all these problems with sex offender and your children are not safe no matter where you live? The Governor wants to clear out the prison system and dump them into everybody’s back yard except her own. NIMBY’s!!! Now if you want to fix the problem, out source the prison system to Mexico. Then hire all legal Mexicans’ there to run the system and have the Human rights monitor their well being. Then upon completion of their time return them to Boston Massachusetts to serve out their probation. Just think of the money savings and the government sector gets a small taste of looking for a new job. WOW what a novice idea and the Mexicans will not have to swim the Rio Grand like Ted Kennedy did to get a great job.
AND HE’S A REGISTERED VOTER
Police have found the body of Zina Linnik, the abducted 12-year-old Tacoma girl. The suspect is in custody:
Court records name the man as 42-year-old Terapon Dang Adhahn, a convicted sex offender who has been in custody on an unrelated immigration matter since Monday.
…
In 1990, he was charged with violently raping a 16-year-old relative, according to court records. He pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of first-degree incest in exchange for completing 60 months of sexual-deviancy counseling.
Adhahn was arrested Monday on an unrelated immigration matter, and was charged Monday with failing to register as a sex offender.
“unrelated immigration matter”? If he’s not a citizen, why wasn’t he deported after the 1990 crime?
Adhahn is registered to vote in Pierce County.

michael spews:
The Tacoma paper ran a pretty good editorial today. An excerpt:
“What seems clear is that Zina might be alive today if officials hadn’t dropped the ball back in 1990. That’s when the suspect, Thai immigrant Terapon Adhahn, was convicted of sexually assaulting his 16-year-old half-sister.
Adhahn served a 60-day jail sentence, underwent 60 months of court-ordered treatment and was classified as a Level 1 sex offender. He could have been deported after a 1992 conviction for intimidation with a dangerous weapon. But he wasn’t, and Zina is dead because of it.
A spokeswoman for Immigration and Customs Enforcement said, “He escaped our attention.”
That’s not good enough. The public deserves to know why a convicted sex offender was allowed to stay in this country, posing a threat to its children.

What STATE did he commit the crime in 1990 in?
What STATE did he commit the crime in 1992 in?
Washington State. Which has been controlled by the democrats for the past 20 frigging years. Our laws come first. Then INS. If we plea bargin and convict on a lessor crime, he is a free pervert (level 1). If the laws had not allowed a plea bargin, he would have been convicted and deported.
Has nothing to do with federal goverment, and Richard knows it. He is just deflecting.

If you would read #39 again, you will see that Richard doesn’t quite get all the FACTS right
The State of Washington (which as no connection to GHB) first had to CONVICT him of a deportable crime. The STATE didnt. They plea bargined it down to an Incest crime, not a violent rape crime (which would have deported him at that time).
So it is our own damn fault. Not anyone’s at federal level.

Reading many of the comments here about immigration it strikes me that no matter what political side one falls on, our federal leadership has failed us on this issue.
There have been Republican administrations and Democrat administrations both since the 1990 and none has served the public well on the issue of immigration.
Violent crimes, especially those against children, should be grounds for deportation, period.
Legal aliens who commit these crimes should be deported immediately after serving their sentence. Immigration officials should be checking the status of every current inmate and if they are not legally here, after their sentence, ship them out…
We ought to be in the business of exporting these criminals not importing them.

Jump the Shark spews:
The point, to which moron Goldy is oblivious or willfully oblivious, is that the Democrats who run almost everything here could not find a probably deportable felon who failed to register as a sex offender, but who illegally registered as a voter.
Democrats could find him when sending unlawful ballots, but couldn’t find him in time to verify his immigration status or his compliance with parole.
Even if we accept the assertion that voter-registration fraud is not election fraud, we have a fraud problem that this incident makes clear even to head-up-their-horse’s-ass progressives. Even if we accept the assertion that federal immigration law can be blown off by blue-state sanctuaries (don’t ask, don’t tell), most of us can tell that too many lives are being destroyed by immigrants who came here illegally or who overstayed their visas. All of us can surely uderstand the cost of the destructive Democrat bias against the ‘prison-industrial complex.’
Thanks to the Shark for again showing how pathological progressives are.
