What Can We Do ?
Dec 27th, 2009 by Frank Knotts
In recent days we have received the disturbing news that eleven year old Sarah Foxwell of Salisbury, Md, was discovered dead near the Delaware state line. She was reported missing from her home on Wednesday the twenty-third of December.
The police are currently holding Thomas Leggs Jr.in custody, the person who was reported by Sarah’s sister to be the last person seen with Sarah. Mr. Leggs was the former boyfriend of Sarah’s aunt, who was Sarah’s current guardian.
Thomas Leggs has been convicted multiple times as a sex offender and is considered a high risk offender on the sex offender registry.
Now I could go into my feelings that this sort of crime is a result of our culture de-valuing the lives of children. I could ask the question of, why are there women out there who allow these monsters into their lives and those of children.
But what we really need to ask is , how can we keep these monsters, who have demonstrated that they are monsters , from hurting and killing in the future ?
I was motivated to write this post after hearing local radio personality Jeff Gartman on Saturday morning on WGMD 92.7 . Mr. Gartman is a fill in host and also can be heard on Sunday mornings.
Mr. Gartman who like so many of us in the community was asking, how can this happen and how do we stop it from happening? He believes that people such as Thomas Leggs should never see the light of day after being convicted of any sort of crime against children. I would say that I am in agreement with him, that is if we cannot attain the death penalty for them.
Mr. Gartman stated that he would be interested in organising a movement to seek legislation that would keep these monsters in jail at the very least for life , so that they can no longer prey upon society.
Now I do not believe that government is our last defence against these animals, we must always be aware that they exist.
But once they have shown themselves as the monsters they are , then we as a society must do all that we can, to keep them away from society.
Mr. Gartman asked for people with organisational skills to contact him to begin lobbying our state and national leaders to find a way to reduce the risk of these monsters from ever hurting or killing again.
Those who wish to contact Mr. Gartman directly can e-mail him at Jeff@wgmd.com or leave contact information on this post and I will forward it to him.
If you do nothing else, contact your government leaders and convey your concerns that this can no longer be allowed to happen.
Thank you, and may God bless Sarah Foxwell and her family, and may God bless all of those out there who have been victims of monsters such as Thomas Leggs.
It’s actually quite simple..it’s called “Quarantine.” Let’s just designate land and put these animals behind the fence and let them molest and murder each other. Doesn’t have to be a prison, but a designated area that operates like any other town, but residency is mandated or voluntary after signing some sort of acknowledgment or waiver (over 18 that is..absolutely no children allowed).
Telling me where they live doesn’t protect my family from squat.
Enough is enough.
It’s jeff@wgmd.com.
Thank you anon, I made the correction in the main story.
And to John,I would say, not a bad idea, maybe some place like ANWAR, we are always hearing what a beautiful place it is.
Honestly I’m not sure it would ever get past an administration like our current one since we can’t even quarantine terrorist in a place like Gitmo. We must first lose this bizzar thought process that these monsters can be rehabilitated, and then must make the lives of their future victims more important then the lives of the monster. We have enough sense in this world to put down dangerous dogs who have attacked and or killed small children, because we know that they will likely do it again once they have tasted blood. How are these “mad dogs” any different who rape and murder children , and who it has been proven that, they will likely do the same thing again, and most likely will escalate their crimes in the amount of violence involved.
Frank, although I believe Leggs is guilty, lets not jump to conclusions about the relationship with the aunt. She might not have known he was a sex offender, and when she learned that he was, broke off the relationship. But I agree, he is a monster that needs to be dealt with severely.
This is what the death penalty is for. Expedite death for this monster at the hands of the state. It won’t bring back the light he snuffed but it will put other killers on notice.
We need to do more to ensure that those who are branded as molesters are not simple self-supervised.

It is a real tradgedy. My heart goes out to the family.
It pays to know who you date and let have access to your children. If you find something out, you can not be afraid to level with them.
The fact is that this prior offender should not have been out walking around before 25 years. In my world, the first offense would be 25 years and the second would be life. If there is a murder, than I am with Nancy–execute them.
This man kidnapped a child, that should send him back for life. When they prove the murder, that should put him on death row.
Thanks for your father’s heart, Frank and John.
**SPONSORED BY CONSERVATIVE CITIZENS OF DELAWARE** …for Deaver?
What does the taking back our state dinner have to do with the tragedy of the subject? *sigh* it’s about being appropriate in where you place your ads people…
Anyway…John F…..Not sure if you know this but George Carlin had that very same idea (although articulated in a much more comedic and vulgar form) back in the 90′s. Here was his idea…if it didn’t violate the personal property rights of the individuals and the sovereignty rights of the states in question along with a host of human rights laws I could see being in favor of such an idea.
Carlin’s idea in his own words (edited for some vulgarity)
” Here’s another idea. I’m going to save you a whole lot of money on prisons, but at the same time we are still going to remove from society many of our more annoying citizens. Four groups are going away permanently.
First group: Violent criminals. Here’s what you do with these Emmy award winners. You take the entire state of Kansas. You move everybody out. You give them a couple of hundred dollars for their inconvenience, you know. Got to be fair. And then, you move them out, you put a big ten story electric fence around Kansas and Kansas becomes a permanent prison farm for violent criminals. No parole, no police, no supplies, the only thing you give them is lethal weapons and live ammunition, so they can communicate in a meaningful way. Then you put the whole thing on Cable TV. The Violence Network, VNN. And for a corporate sponsor, you get one of those companies that loves to smear it’s logo feces all over the landscape. Budweiser will jump at this **** in half a minute.
Alright, next group: sex criminals. Completely incurable, you got to lock them up. You could outlaw religion and in most cities sex crimes would disappear in a couple of generations. (edit: I don’t necessarily agree with this but this kind of jab at the Catholic church is what Carlin is best known for) But we don’t have time for rational solutions! Much easier to fence off another rectangular state. Rectangular states are cheaper to fence; saves the taxpayers money, you know? This time Wyoming. But only for true sex offenders. We’re not going to bother consenting adults who like to dress up in leather Boy Scout uniforms and smash each other in the head with ball peen hammers while they take turns blowing their cat. There’s certainly nothing wrong with that. It’s a victimless hobby. And think of how good the cat must feel! No, we’re only going to lock up rapists and molesters. Those hopeless romantics. Who’re so full of love they can’t help getting a little of it on you. Usually on your leg. You take all of these heavy breathing fun seekers, and you stick them in Wyoming. And you let them suck, **** and fondle, you let them blow, chew, sniff lick whip gobble and cornhole each other…until their testicles are whistling ‘Oh Come All Ye Faithful’! And..and you turn on the cameras and you’ve got The Sperm Channel! And don’t forget our corporate sponsor. We’re going to let Budweiser put little logo patches on the rapist’s pants right here, ‘This Pud’s For You’!
Alright, next group: Drug addicts and alcoholics. Not all of them, don’t get nervous. Just the ones who are making life difficult for at least one other person. And we’re not going to bother first offenders. People deserve a chance to clean up. Everyone will get…twelve chances to clean up. Alright, fifteen! Fifteen! That’s fine, and that’s it, if you can’t make it in fifteen tries, off you go *fwit* to Colorado! Colorado! The perfect- a perfect place for staying loaded. Each week, all of the illegal drugs confiscated in the United States…that the police and D.E.A. don’t keep for their own personal use…will be air-dropped into Colorado. And we’re going to turn the Coors brewery over to the beer drinking assholes and everyone can stay wasted, wired, loaded, stoned, bombed, hammered, smashed and shitfaced ’round the clock on another new cable channel, Shitface Central- ‘This is the real Rocky Mountain HIGH!!!
Ok, I’ve saved my favorite group for last. The maniacs and crazy people. Yeah. The ones who live out where the buses don’t run. And I distinguish between maniacs and crazy people. A maniac will beat nine people to death with a steel *****. A crazy person will beat nine people to death with a steel *****, but he’ll be wearing a Bugs Bunny suit at the time. So you can’t put them all away. You know you got to keep some of them around just for the entertainment. Like a guy who tells you the King of Sweden is using his (edit: phallic symbol) as a radio transmitter to send anti-semitic lesbian meatloaf recipes to Soupy Sales and Marvin Hamlisch. A guy like that you want to give him his own radio show. No, the maniac farm will be reserved strictly for hopeless cases. Like a guy who gets a big tattoo on his chest of Liza Minnelli taking a (edit: poop), you know? And he tells you if he wiggles a certain way it looks like she’s wiping her (edit: butt), you know? A guy like that, you want to get him into custody as quickly as possible. Now, for the maniac farm, I think there’s no question we got to go with Utah(edit: a man in the crowd yells “DELAWARE!…apparently a DL fan as he was unable to catch onto the “rectangle” concept). Utah. Easy to fence. Easy to fence. Right next to Wyoming and Colorado and Colorado is right next to Kansas, and that means all four groups of our most amusing citizens are now in one place.
Except for the big fences. And I think I have another one of my really good ideas for Cable TV. Gates. Small sliding gates in the fences. Think of what you’ve got here. Think of what you’ve got. Predators, degenerates, crackheads and fruitcakes. Nine hundred miles of fence separating them. Every fifty miles you put a small sliding gate. But- the gates are only ten inches wide and they’re only open once a month…for seven seconds. And you know something? (edit: screw) cable, this (edit: crap) has got to be on Pay-Per-View. Because, if those gates are only open seven seconds a month, you are going to have some mighty interesting people pushing and shoving to be first in line. Deeply disturbed armed cranky lunatics on drugs. You know the ones. Lot of tattoos…lot of teeth broken off at the gumline…the true face of America. And every time you open the gates, a few of the more aggressive ones are going to get through. The creme de la creme. The alphas. They’re going to get through, they’re going to find each other and they’re going to cross-breed. And pretty soon you’ll have a melting pot. Child killers, corpse *******, drug zombies and full-blown wackaloons. Wandering the landscape in search of truth and fun….Just like now! Everyone will have guns, everyone will have drugs and no one will be in charge…..Just like now! But at least we’ll have a balanced budget.”

If this offends you…get over yourself and learn how to take some humor in life, even if we don’t agree 100% a sense of humor is a requirement here.
That whole Carlin thing was stupid!
Really RSC…how so?
