A previously convicted rapist that served 15 years in prison for raping a 21 year old woman back in 1989, was arrested again by Cleveland, Ohio police last Saturday. Anthony Sowell allegedly raped another woman last week. She informed police of the crime and that is what lead the authorities to his home. Two bodies were discovered at first in his home and later 4 other decomposing bodies were found. All 6 women were black, 5 had been strangled to death. The cause of death of the 6th woman has not been determined. Ohio police do not think that they will find other bodies, but a cadaver dog will be taken to the house to search further.
This crime in Cleveland is yet another example of the fact that rapists are repeat offenders and that their prison sentences should be extended considerably for their crimes. Anthony Sowell was a registered sex offender and was required to check in regularly at the Sheriff’s office. He followed the rules given to him for his crime, yet still managed to rape women. He is now, not just a rapist, but a serial killer. This proves that the system does not work and needs to be drastically revamped. As it stands now, there are an awful lot of rapists that are loose, comply with their sheriff’s office, and still rape and even kill women throughout our neighborhoods.
UPDATE:
Other bodies have been found at Sowell’s home. This brings the total number of bodies to 11.

A teenage girl that attends Richmond High School in California was gang raped last Saturday night by at least 4 rapists or as much as 7. She was attending the high school’s homecoming dance and stepped out around 9:30 p.m., to get a ride with her dad, who was going to take her back home. The victim was also robbed and beaten. There were at least a dozen spectators that walked by, who did nothing and some might have even joined in on the rape. According to police, some of the spectators may have actually recorded the rape with their cell phone cameras. No one bothered to call the authorities.
So far there has been 2 arrests. A student was taken out of class by police and later arrested Monday night. Manuel Ortega, 19, not a student at Richmond High, was also arrested. Both men where charged with allegedly raping the teenage girl. Police mentioned that the victim knew at least one of the students.
The school had several security guards around the area where the dance was taking place but not in the actual area where the gang rape occurred. Richmond High also has surveillance cameras around campus, but they are broken and don’t work.
The teenage victim was beaten so bad that she had to be taken to the hospital by helicopter. She remains there in stable condition.

Missing child’s body was found in a Georgia landfill, near her home in Florida. Somer Thompson, the little girl who lived in Orange Park, FL, disappeared on Monday, while walking home from school with her sister and a friend. Somer was misbehaving and her sister asked her to stop. Somer got angry and ran ahead of the group and was never seen again.
An Orange Park detective suggested they search a close-by landfill where the little girl’s neighborhood garbage trucks take their trash. On Tuesday all the trucks were inspected as they came to the landfill. This was a smart decision by the police. The body may have been buried under tons of garbage, if they had not acted so quickly. Police went through 100 tons of garbage before they found Somer Thompson’s missing body. Somer’s clothing and a birth mark, helped police identify her body.
The Orange Park police, so far, have been interviewing 70 registered sex offenders from that area. There are officially 161 offenders within a 5 mile radius of the little girl’s home. Also a $25,000 reward is being offered to anyone who can lead police to the arrest of the person responsible for her murder.
For more complete information regarding this little girl, read entire article HERE.

VA111913 will relieve women who suffer from primary dysmenorrhea or painful periods.

We are talking about insurance companies here. Did you know that in 9 states of our country, if you have a domestic violence incident on your record, insurance companies can deny you coverage? This is absolutely unfair! We were not aware of this as we’re sure many other people weren’t. According to the National Women’s Law Center, the following states allow insurance companies to deny coverage to domestic violence victims: Idaho, Mississippi, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Wyoming and the District of Columbia.
But this insurance company policy might be coming to an end soon according to the latest news. Democrats in Congress are making sure that this discriminatory insurance company practice will not be accepted in the new health reform bill. They also want people who know of domestic violence victims that were denied coverage, to let them know that perhaps now they might be covered by an insurance company. They should call their state department to find out and try to get coverage again.
Women On Guard (www.womenonguard.com) doesn’t understand how on earth it was allowed in these 9 states to not cover domestic violence victims! So insurance companies figure that if a woman was injured by no fault of her own, she should be denied coverage? How about all the victims that are shot with a bullet every day? Should they be denied coverage? Or if someone crashes into your car with their car… should this not be covered, just because you drive a car? We don’t understand on what grounds this was being allowed and why these states accepted it. We encourage that if you live in one of these states that allow this discrimination by insurance companies, to contact your state health department and demand this discriminatory insurance company policy be stopped!

LaRhonda Marie McCall, 37, first made news this year because her 14 year old son had escaped from his home and informed police that he had been abused. McCall had basically kept her son a prisoner for 4 1/2 years. He was kept mostly in his bedroom closet and was not sent to school. Neighbors were not aware of his existence. The malnourished, bruised and covered with scars boy, escaped and managed to go to the police last week.
New information from yesterday came in that the child abuser, LaRhonda McCall, was previously convicted in her connection with the death of her 2 year old daughter. In 1995, when this occurred, LaRhonda went by a different name; LaRhonda Pressley. She has 6 other children and lived with her boyfriend Steve Hamilton, 38. Both LaRhonda and Steve were arrested on 20 complaints, each of child neglect and abuse and were jailed last Wednesday on $400,000 bond. Police information showed that both adults confessed to abuse by beating the boy multiple times and even using a tire jack while hitting the boy over the head.
How the neighbors of these child abusers never heard any disturbance or called the authorities is beyond us. Child abuse seems to be getting worse or we are just getting more informed. Either way, this is unacceptable and the perpetrators of crimes as extreme as these, should be locked up for life. LaRhonda was sent to jail and put on probation for her daughter’s death. It is not clear how long she served. This would not have happened if she would have been given life in jail.

When you hear about batons, you think about the police using them against crowds. But batons aren’t just for police use anymore. Many security guards and animal control officers use batons and now citizens are using them as well. We are talking about stun batons with electrical volts and not just the ordinary baton! You rarely will see someone on the streets carrying one, but many homeowners are starting to see the benefits of having one in their home instead of keeping a baseball bat under their bed!
Benefits of Stun Batons
The most obvious benefit that this self defense product has is the extra reach you acquire. Some, like the Expandable Stun Baton, can reach from 12 1/2 inches to 21 inches! Stun batons are not just for hitting someone over the head with, they also can electrically shock a person.
Stun Baton Features
Stun batons, like stun guns, have electrical volts that if used on a person, can knock them down and disable them temporarily. If a homeowner just test fires a stun baton into the air, it’s intimidating electrical sound is often enough to stop an attacker in their tracks. Simply touching an attacker or home intruder with this self defense product for 3 to 5 seconds will deliver a high voltage shock, causing loss of balance and muscle control, confusion and disorientation, bringing them to their knees and making them incapable of aggressive moves. Besides having the extra reach as mentioned previously, some of these self defense products have ear piercing 130 decibel alarms besides the 1,000,000 volts that some batons contain. There are stun batons that also function as flashlights. This is even more convenient because it allows you to see the intruder if it is dark. Another feature that some stun batons have is the capacity to stun the attacker with the sides of the baton as well as with the tip of it. If the home intruder or attacker tries to grab the baton from you, he or she will be shocked while touching the baton’s sides. Some of the newer stun baton models are rechargeable, so the homeowner does not need to purchase extra batteries. In addition, most come with a convenient safety switch, holster and lifetime warranty.

The latest and most powerful stun gun from Stun Master yet. If you take your safety seriously, look no further. This self defense product has a whopping 2,700,000 volts! You wouldn’t think of it by just looking at it, it only measures 4.75” x 2.5” x 1”. We think it’s also more stylish and easier to hold than any other stun gun on the market today.
Looks and power are not the only things that make the Stun Master Multi-Function Stun Gun different, there are several other features this self defense product comes with. The stun gun also has an ultra bright LED light, a red SOS flashing warning light, a 110 Decibel emergency siren, a holster AND a safety pin wrist strap. This strap has a pin that allows the stun gun to work, only when the pin is plugged in. This feature is great because if an attacker takes the stun gun from you, the strap stays around your wrist while it unplugs the pin. The attacker will be left with a stun gun that won’t work. What else does this Stun Master Multi-Function Stun Gun have for self defense, you might ask? Well, to top it off, it is rechargeable! No more worries about buying batteries and the 100-240V AC adapter with LED indicator is, of course, included!
As mentioned before, this is the latest and as far as we know, the most powerful and convenient stun gun around!
