Some blog wrote:Joseph Edward Duncan, the pedophile at the centre of the high profile case of the kidnapping of an Idaho girl Shasta Groene whose family was found beaten to death, kept a Blogger blog and blogged about his thoughts.
The blog, Blogging the Fifth Nail has its last post as May 13, three days before Shasta Groene’s mother, older brother and mother’s boyfriend were discovered bound and bludgeoned to death in their home in Coeur D’alene, Idaho.

This is just disturbing, but I think it's important on many levels. Firstly, from a psychological level, it should be documented and studied. This is essentially like finding a murderer's diary.
Secondly, on an ethical and social level. In his earlier entries, he talks about how the police "harassed" him every time a sex-related crime happened within as far as 60 miles, "just because" he was a convicted sex offender.
I suggest reading some of his last entries, as well as going back and reading some old entries. It's very disturbing to look into the mind of a sex offender and murderer. Well... to look at the part of his mind that he was willing to let others see.

I've read some of it so far. It'll get taken down soon though. Too many people know about it.
It's interesting, and it makes me wonder why author's haven't written stories about people who commit crimes rather than people who solve them. They would be far more intriguing.

I'm sure there are some, but they would likely be considered "dangerous" for the general public. If someone already in a deranged state was to read something like that, a novel in the mind of a murderer or rapist, they could take it as validation for the thoughts they are having, and could lead to things they otherwise wouldn't do.

Fifth Nail - Friday, July 09, 2004 wrote:I got a call today from an investigator in a city about an hours drive away from where I live. Apparently I am a suspect for some un-defined incident that occurred last Sunday. He would not tell me anything about what happened, though he did not seem too concerned except to say it was a felony and all felonies are serious (in other words it probably was not too serious at least).
The officer wants me to drive to his city to talk to him. I almost told him I would, until he told me I was a suspect (I had to ask). Then I told him I would get back to him after I talk to an attorney.
I contacted an attorney and he told me it was a good thing I called and no matter what happens I should not go see the police alone. So now I have to dish up $500 for this attorney to keep the police off my back just because of my past. That was money I had hoped to use to buy a new wet suit for an upcoming scuba trip on Lake Superior.

This really really bothers me. So much that I am having a hard time concentrating at work today. I keep thinking about how dehumanized I feel, like I am not wanted. I keep thinking about how people are terrified when they find out I am a "sex offender."
Once I visited with another student after a class two summers ago. When she found out later that I was a "sex offender" she was so scared that she complained to school officials and stopped coming to class!
I have been very patient with this whole injustice, telling myself that everyone suffers injustice of some kind. But I can feel it now starting to approach the limits of my tolerance. I can't afford an attorney, and even if I could I don't know if it would do any good. It seems the Law is dictated by popular opinion (and we all know how reliable that is) with no rationality. I feel close to cracking, and I don't even know what that means. I keep feeling like I want to cry, I have not felt this stressed in a long time.
If anyone reads this and thinks, "good, you probably deserve it." Then you may as well go out and rape a child, because that's exactly what your attitude is supporting. You are giving in to the sickness that I've spent half my life trying to understand, and that I'll spend the rest of my life trying to fight! People must somehow understand that the sickness is in our society, not the individuals in it. We are all victims! All great spiritual leaders; Jesus, Mohammed, Gandhi, Mother Teresa, and all the others (I would include John Lennon in this list, but he was killed coincidentally before he had a chance to really be heard) tried to tell us this simple truth, and tried to give us the only cure...Love and forgiveness. "Judge not, lest..."

some part of that dude's blog wrote:The truth is that most sex offenders do not re-offend
it's scary that this guy actually believes that.
i've read a bit of the blog, but i gotta read more before i can form an opinion about it.

has anyone read the devil's cure by kenneth oppel? it's about a murderer who hunts down prestigious doctors and surgeons on account of his religion, because he believes that drugs and other medical practices are in defiance of god. he is diagnosed with cancer, but his blood is actually found to be immune to it, and he takes this as a sign of god giving him a second chance to do his deeds. it's really interesting, and that's what i first thought of when i saw this.

Yeah, sounds like a Scientologist.
