The A-hole pistol wipped the girl before pulling her out of the place, and throwing her into the van. She made her jump on Oatfield rd. not far from my house. The guy's a 5 time looser. Can't believe that they keep turning turds like this loose on the public.

Yes, this one needs to go away for good this time.
Too many people like this out there.
 
Armed and a felon?

Multnomah county better pass more firearm ordinances on us law abiding citizens and us open carriers since this happened. Bad guy does something illegal so you might as well take it out on the rest of us. Except you CHL carriers, you are exempt.
 
At any given time throughout the year there are 100,000 missing persons in the US.
Each year the remains of the missing, found, average only 4400.
Perpetrated by people like this guy.
She is fortunate to have gotten away.
My wife studies missing persons and the stats are staggering.
Here is some good information.
This is why people like this should never be released from prison.

I'm sorry Taku. I didn't know those girls but was younger when it happened and that crime always stuck with me. I have a daughter know and I'm scared ish less for her.

There's always places you shouldn't go or people you can spot and try to avoid.

It's the kind, caring person that acts and looks completely normal, but it a psycho that will get you.
Or the no conscience kid that has no emotional attachment that snaps and kills people for no reason.

Crazy world we live in these days. Oh yeah, you bet your behind i'm going armed.
 
I'm still amazed there hasn't been some break in the kyron horman case.

If I was that dad I would get some answers from that Ex.
However I needed to.

Yeah, that is one strange case.

Know what you mean about your daughter.
We have 5 granddaughters that we stress over as well. Even the grandsons and great grandsons are a worry nowadays. Some pathetically sick people out there.
