Pretoria - Zonderwater Prison should be praised and given credit for the good work it has done, the stepfather of one of the so-called "Waterkloof Four" said on Monday.
Speaking hours after his stepson Gert van Schalkwyk was released into house arrest, Jimmy Stonehouse said: "I want to give credit to the Zonderwater Prison."
Van Schalkwyk was released earlier on Monday, together with Reinach Tiedt, following a court wrangle over the decision by the Zonderwater parole board to commute their 12-year jail terms to house arrest. They can apply for parole at a later stage.
Schalkwyk and Tiedt were imprisoned along with Christoff Becker and Frikkie du Preez in 2008 for killing a homeless man and assaulting another at a park in Pretoria in 2001.
Bekker and Du Preez, serving their sentences in Pretoria Central, had not been released and there was no word as to whether they would be.
"They are in different prisons. They have to be evaluated individually," said Stonehouse.
The release of the two had drawn widespread criticism. Initially the correctional services department ignored two court orders forcing it to abide by the parole board's decision to commute their sentences.
Announcing on Monday morning that the department would abide by the orders, spokesperson Zacharia Modise said: "We are not happy with the court order. We want to challenge this."
In a statement released on Monday, the department said it was immediately complying with the court orders by placing Tiedt and Van Schalkwyk on correctional supervision from Monday.
This was barely hours before another application was about to be lodged in the North Gauteng High Court in Pretoria to get the department to abide by the previous court orders.
On Friday the Democratic Alliance's James Selfe said the decision to place them under house arrest was made after the chairperson of the Zonderwater parole board was told by the department that the recommendation was unlawful.
"In terms of a previous court decision, conversions of sentences can only occur if an inmate has less than five years remaining of his or her sentence," Selfe said.
"Both the recommendation of the parole board and the decision of the Pretoria Regional Court were therefore wrong and should be set aside," he said.
But Stonehouse said: "We did not apply [for sentences to be commuted]. The jail did. The jail came and said they don't belong here anymore. They did their time and they are model prisoners."
"I know people want to see him [Gert] in jail, but everybody has got their right to their own opinion. If at least you try, give someone the chance. Why can they not have a second chance?"
He said his stepson and Tiedt had studied while in prison, founded a soccer team in the prison and completed all the courses correctional services had required of them.
Speaking about Van Schalkwyk's time at Zonderwater, Stonehouse said: "There was not one day when we came and visited our kid that we were handled in a bad way. You can see those people [prison officials] are trying to do everything right.
"You know what, my kid could have hated every day. My son's mind is open... .They could have made it difficult for him. He could have been a very different person."
"They must have taken this kid and done something right," he said.
Community service
The conditions of Van Schalkwyk and Tiedt's release are that they are under house arrest, with the exception of the 15 hours of community service they are required to perform every month.
Neither is allowed to consume alcohol. They have to be home between 18:00 and 07:00 on weekdays on the days on which they work. On the days on which they do not work, they have to be home from 13:00 to 08:00.
Tiedt has to clean the Transvaal Museum for his community service. Van Schalkwyk has to carry out his service at the Bronkhorstspruit police station.
The department said correctional services national commissioner Tom Moyane would obtain legal advice and then take a decision on how to take the matter further.
Earlier on Monday, Van Schalkwyk's mother Sarita Stonehouse said she was "elated, absolutely elated" that her son was about to be released.
correctional services are what their name states, correctional wich means they are there to rehabilitate people that can be rehabilitated. If the people who worked with them on a daily basis feel they are fit to leave prison, let it be, the court should put people away with not mainly punishment in mind but to protect society from future harm. If you are a repeat offender...different story as you have proven you can't or don't want to be helped. Give them a change like all under house arrest and parole.
So, would this apply if someone murdered a relative of yours too, or is this limited to when the victims are nameless and faceless strangers?
I'd like to hear you say that the next time a paroled criminal robs and hurts an innocent citizen. It is probably happening somewhere, as I type this.
I believe a potentially dangerous precedent is being set here. These kids were cruel beyond comprehension - the fact the the person they murdered was a homeless man - he was a human being - that is all that counts. There is simply no difference between them and the people who go into homes and hack people do death. When you murder someone, you are a murderer - there is no lesser or greater one than the other. This is wrong - we must stop trying to justify certain wrongs and blow other ones up until they explode with issues happening in our country. Like our friend who posts here on a regular basis who firmly believed it was right for the farmer and his son to kill the poachers. What has happened to our humanity???
What a buffoon!!! His son kicks a homeless man to death showing exactly what type of pathetic father he is!! So shut up, you racist pig and next time you have kids, teach them good morals!!
This is ridiculous! Funny how people always have no faith in South Africa's ability to do anything or in any of their institutions and today @Danie is heaping the praise on the correctional services dept...
This is not fair first of all and it makes no sense, these kids are cruel and are murderers. Why are they out? It makes no sense at all to me, considering how many other people have killed and not gotten released within two years. This is a crying shame truth be told, and I'm not giving it long before someone makes it racial. As a matter of fact I can't help but think this has something to do with these boys being white.
But then again that's just me
I agree that it sounds not right but this happens every week, it is just that it doesn't get reported on. To Lenand it already happened, thats why I know that this is how they work, called drunken driving and yes it really kill people and by the why the person only got house arrest from the word go. if we go that way speed kills how fast are you driving, when did you not fully stop at stop sign, when did you go over a traffic light when it was not green, why are these people homeless what are you doing to help them why are you letting. But you still miss the point let correctional services do their job, they have the facts we don't. If they want to revoke it, let them they have the facts. I firmly believe that they will find it difficult to cope with their conditions for the next 8 years...if they cant, back to prison. If you go sit outside any major correctional office, you will notice about 20 people a day going out on paole but my point remains - it doesn't get reported on.
As long as you are willing to apply this principle to all the other murderous scum that roam this country.
They'll soon be back in Zonderwater for some more "good work" to be done.
The LAW is truly an A$$. Can we please do away with these grey areas that are obviously open to abuse and have clear sentences? If the judge says 5 years, let it be 5 years non-negotiable. We will talk about parole after those 5 years.
Killing of a homeless, pennyless, harmless, foodless man deserves a long prison sentence, It shows you how far the society has down the thrash bin in order to carry out this sick attack. I have noticed a lot of people in this forum who support the early release of these individuals, I wonder what kind of a hell hole they came from?
Killing farmers is fine then?
Do you think its fine?
Sometimes what is NOT there is more important than what is there.
It was not the parents that asked for the release. It was done by a government department. Most propably your government as I did not vote for them. I don't deal with them(prisoners) on as daily basis, so, if the people that do, feel that it would be better for their chances to become 'good' citizens again so be it.
The released will have a good support system to make sure they stick to the rules. Remember they are NOT free. It is not parole.
Jub Jub is running free and will never see a prison after killing school children. Jackie is not even in prison and Shaik is on a golf course and Zuma is our President. So I don't see why this is such a big issue. Those dead school children are a far bigger issue for me and so is the brain damaged one in Krugersdorp. His life is also over and that because a MEC couldn't control the driver. Same thing all over. We don't need courts anymore or prisons.
I suggest some people should review the whole prosecution process and look at what time in history it happened. These men were kids at 15 years of age and the state decided to manipulate the whole process and delay it for 8 years. Destroying their families and young childrens lives.
Oh I forgot it was alright to do that seen they were kids from affluent homes and their whole family needed to be stripped of their wealth.
@ Van firstly what on earth does this have to do with farm attacks? Or do you think they were justified to kill the homeless man in order to avenge farm attacks? you are an idiot of note,murder is murder regardless of who is being murdered or what community they come from.
@Garysyd705 Great read, wonder if the info bill will restrict this type of media reporting or only make it worse?
Van, dont be a fool
Very good read from Charles Scheepers
Not an easy thing for a father to say. Think about that.
I think its great that they took in two criminals and produced two potentially productive members of society.
Yea. You mean they did the job the father SHOULD have done?
Can't believe they're out already.
You may say they will be productive members of society and this may be true - Hoorah to the correctional services etc etc... BUT there is also the issue of PUNISHMENT. Punishment for what you have done. Punishment regardless if you are 'reabilitated' or not.
From what I can see, the punishment does not fit the crime.
I believe there's a killer in all of us. But it is good conscience (which these boys didn't have) and fear of punishment which keeps us from killing one another.
He's not the father, he's the step-dad.
This family are a load of scum bags
Refering to the Shaiks or Zuma's?
@Mark... Do you know this family personally?
Would suggest all the critics against the release of these two youngs read the full investigation of this saga and just maybe it will cast some doubt as to whether they were guilty of the crime. I for one believe these boys deserve a second chance and just possibly the correctional service department reviewed the whole process and came to the decision of doubt as I did. They were also described as model prisoners and studied hard which in turn may also have had an impact on the decision to parole them under strict conditions. I hope they while lead a meaningful life and contribute to society in a positive way. Finally, to call the family a load of scum bags is totally unnecessary as they stood by their family unfaulteringly.
Andrew, a second chance after ermm what? murder?
Ya screw it. Why not. And while you're at it why not pardon a couple of rapists while you're at it because they made their beds and played along with a correctional program?
If they're not guilty then it needs to be proven. We shouldn't slack on punishment just because we DOUBT the outcome of a trial.
Dewald, have you read the full investigation transcript ? I DOUBT it.
Anderw so the question is. Did any of these boys lay a hand on this person. If they did I think they got what they deserved. They think they can hit anybody and get away with it.
Didn't one of the boys confess and become a state-witness, would you guys be supporting the release of two black murderous 20 year olds as fervently as your are these two pieces of white murdering trash.
Surely Mr Jeff Radebe (Justice Minister), must jump in if there is an indication (feeling:Democratic Alliance's James Selfe) that the law is being trampled on for favours or sinister reasons. Reason that do not align with the laws of the country.
The emotional bunch again that cannot see the wood for the trees.It is wrong for a person imprisioned for killing or raping someone to be let out so early but it happens every day. You read it, experience it directly and indirectly. How many have been let out of prison only to commit the same or similar crimes. In my mind rape and murder or wanton violence is an ongoing trauma to those left living. Now if we had the death penalty this sort of happening would not be an issue.
Just imagine how peacefull it would have being without nelson and kie?
We live in a cruel world. To be homeless with nobody to care for, or love you is bad enough. To be murdered for fun is beyond comprehension. I hope the victim is in a far better place right now.
Yip, sitting under a tree in Mamelody.
Van I think you need to relax and start using ur brains this is not a playground but a platform for South Africans to air their views on issues that affect us everyday so buzz off with ur stupid comments
I found it disturbing to read the comments that people made here. Either we do not care what we say to one another: we are a heartless bunch of hell knows what. Or these comments originates from a side of people that is pathological due to the situation some find themselves in in the new SA. A court agreed with the recommendation to convert there sentences therefore I believe that it is right. You cannot compare this case with farm murders as the murderers in that cases are normally not fit to be rehabilitated. Fortunately these two passed the process of rehabilitation. So, with Christmas less than a week away, let us all just rethink our opinions which demonstrate our hate for one another, before posting it on a website like this.
There should only be one sentence for senseless murders, life, no parole.
If there are suddenly new facts or old facts that weren't taken into consideration, there is a court of appeal, use it, don't bring in some mumbo-jumbo crap put on/pulled off the web by a bunch of racist supporters.
I wonder if the homeless man and his family are having a great christmas this year.
Who will speak for the dead poor man... I wonder where are all the "rights groups" now... They are only "rights groups" when it suits them...
Bottom line, they killed a man for fun. They should rot in jail, I couldn't care less who you are!
Can anyone please tell me what is the time...I wanna go to the beach...
All the commentators on this issue miss the point. The Correctional Services appointed parole board decided to release them on correctional supervision and obtained a court order to that effect. The Correctional Services employees at the same prison then decided not obey the court order. It appears that the correctional services employees who would have been obliged to give evidence at the hearing to determine the change in their sentencing provisions are incompetant or lied. It is possible that the head of the Parole Board acted in a manner that is at odds with decided case law. However what is certain is that the idiots at that prison refused to comply with a court order. Who do they think they are? They should all be prosecuted and serve a short jail sentence. I am of the opinion that they should have served at least 5 years before being eligible for correctional supervision and no decision should be taken before then. However I am of the belief that no one is above the law not Zuma, not Shaik, not Selebi, not Yengeni, not Winnie Mandela, not the arms deal fraudsters, not people who kill and maim through their bad driving, not the members of parliament who defrauded parliament, not the killers of farmers , not the drug dealers and certainly not the police and corectional services personnel. However it seems the law is applied selectively which is what happened in this instance.
Like with Shaik?
3 years for murder is ludicrous , no matter what his excuses were, how deep daddy's pockets are or how eager he is to go 'home'. If you rob somebody of their life, you should be robbed of yours, it is basic. This is exactly why rapist and murderers roam the streets while honest non criminals have to lock themselves up in suburban forts.
You take a life and spend 3 years of a 12 year sentence in prison...Where is the justice in this? If a reprieve of sentences may only occur if an inmate has less than five years remaining their sentence surely this should be investigated?
Where were these guys during 2001 and 2008 when the sentance was carried out? were they in prison or where they sitting at home? if they were in prison during the trial surely that should be time served. Look i am not condoning their action what so ever. If you murder someone you must pay. Could someone enlighten me as i have not followed this case. And surely when the crime was committed they were minors and as such the courts play by different rules when it comes to minors.
The fact is, these guys where 15 when this happened. The courts decided to drag it out for 8 years, so they can humilate and strip the whole family of wealth and self respect. Now the justice system has decide to let them go, remember 8+3=11, that is the time they have paid for the crime they commited.....Let them be and lets cocentrate on bigger things. A guy NEARLY poured a drink over the President, gets locked up, humiliated, and fined!! Malema calls the President in public a shower head, and gets cheers!!!!! Something is serious wrong!!!!
One of the boys was fifteen the oldest boy was 18.
"I know people want to see him [Gert] in jail, but everybody has got their right to their own opinion. If at least you try, give someone the chance. Why can they not have a second chance?"
The fact that they got 12 years is in itself a second chance. beating up a homeless and hapless person is barbaric and perpertators don't belong in our society. The shud have received atleast 25years. This is a clear example of selective justice.
Why not do this kinda service to the comminity as a whole instead of wasting time in prison costing the taxpayers HUNDREDS of MILLIONS??? Oh I forgot, the Trade Unions don't like it, form of cheap labour and something about their right to dignity...*cough*..BULL#$%t ANC needs to stop catering to criminals and make them WORK to pay their debt to society, HARD LABOUR cleaning streets...bush clearing/cleaning of our rivers...etc...simple solution but the ANC always wants to ass creap to get votes......
The prison term should run concurrently with community service. They should sweat and then taken to prison after a day's work. They don't need to be at home.
this is what i've come to expect, shifting of the goal posts, jus few a few days ago a young black south african girl was exercuted in a foreign countrry by people of a 'certain' colour,& evryone i.e. whitey's were joyful and are calling for a dearth penalty,those 4 belong in prision what they did in not forgiveble, so only whites can be rehabilitated not blacks is that what you saying?...
"a few days ago a young black south african girl was exercuted in a foreign country by people of a 'certain' colour".. drug trafficking is punishable by death there. You should know that before you travel there.
What do you mean "certain colour"? You going to blame that on whites? Did a white person force her to be a drug mule? She did it because she was stupid and naive. Stop generalizing.
We are all disgusted that these brats are out of jail so early. Its not just black people that are outraged. Stop generalizing.
Whoa, eagles should fly higher than you do boy! Your nom de plume should be inkuku, because you are scratching through the dust, looking for titbits, but only discovering your own refuse. You are so way off the mark, you probably need assistance finding your own a$$ with both hands in the dark. That young blackey(your choice of words) that was executed in a foreign land, for a crime that carries a death sentence in that country, was actually a young `coloured girl' firstly and secondly, fully cognizant of the penalties attached to her quest for riches. These four young white men have served part of their sentence and were released by the structures that you put in place by voting for the ignorants. And only in your tiny little racist mind has anyone written that `only whites can be rehabilitated'. Read the posts without your blinkers, chicken.
Inkwazi, whites did not call for the death penalty because of that girl. It's a shame she was executed because she was just small fry. We call for the death penalty because of ALL killers and rapists that roam the streets. In my honest opinion, those boys got out of hand and probably never realized they were killing someone. You see people getting kicked and beaten in the movies and minutes later they don't even have a shiner or a bruise. So what does a 15 year old know about reality. I am not defending them at all. They were extremely stupid but mark my words, they will never even lift a finger against anyone ever again. On the other hand, it seems that most repeat offenders are black but we can never say blacks cannot be rehabilitated. I guess each case has it's own merits.
Inkwazi, you're an embarrassment brother. The two are not comparable. SA has no jurisdiction in foreign countries. Whatever happened there is not influenced by South African laws. The point is, if you do the crime you must do the time regardless of the colour of your skin. South Africa justice system is not transformed to deal with issues in a more transparent and fair way. The point in question is: Jackie Selebi has been convicted but his accomplice, a well known criminal and murderer is a free man. Selebi has been sentenced to 15 years for receiving gifts and murderers have been sentenced to a mere 12 years and only served 2 years for the crime. I would be sick if I was Selebi.
"I have been here for 17 years, guilty of armed robbery and murder. I am passionate about this programme. I understand so much more about myself and what I can do to help others. My vision, when I am released, is to work with the youth of our country, black and white, male and female. I would like them to understand the cycle of violence and to give them hope. "
"My name is Fred (not real name). I was with the cops for 17 years, both pre- and post-94. It was hard for me to get used to the new South Africa, I lost it one night and killed some innocent people. This programme has been great for me; when I am released I am going on to work with cops who suffered some of the stresses that I did, and to help them cope better."
The stories are from people who are still doing their time @ Zonderwater and have been overlooked...u can not deny that they are more rehabilitated n more mature than those 4, but they BLACK isnt it...
Inkwazi you're a racist prick, most of the comments on this forum are from whites, and most believe what has happened isn't right.
I must agree with you on the death sentence though, the girl was guilty of dealing in drugs, hang her, these boys murder a harmless old man hang them as well.
Inkwazi, you clearly still have some unresolved racial issues, just like your buddy Van. This is the new South Africa, get over yourselves.
Something is definitely wrong here. 3 years for murder!!! This is a very bad precedent. Now most murderers will complete a course, start a soccer team in prison and gets released after a few years. And we cry every day about crime! This is ridiculous. No wonder Jub Jub is roaming our streets free and investigating officers are shot at at will. Our justice system is rotten.
Thats right Japana, thats precisly what they do.... some even study law as well as starting a soccer team. Those they make President! Isn't that right Mr. Mandela? the others who plant bombs in clubs are made police chiefs.... How are you keeping Robbie?
Steve, you are oviously an idiot. Talking sense with you will be pointless.
I know George.... but it's such FUN! come on! this forum is beter than Sewende Laan! this whole countries policy and law is up the spout! Murderes walk free while the little people get crusified. Have a nice Christmas.
This story reminds me of a song by "Arrested Development" that came out about 20 years ago called "Mr.Wendal". (For those of you who dont know the song, search for it on youtube.) Its about a homeless man and in one of the verses they sing..."Mr.Wendal, a man, a human in flesh but not by law..." Is this not what happened here now?
Does the poor or homeless have less of a right to live than the rich? Are we not all human? And does HUMAN RIGHTS not include everyone that qualifies as human? What happened to that homeless man's human rights? The stepfather said that everyone has a RIGHT to their opinion. Well, the homeless guy had a RIGHT to be ALIVE but he was deprived of this right. Does the fact that they studied in prison and formed a soccer team bring that man back to life??
A 19 year old gets busted for shoplifting and gets sentenced for 10yrs and another teen took someone's life only serves few years in jail and people make it race issue. Justice for the rich and the poor must just suffer the consequences. I feel that they must be re-sentenced. Even the guy who killed 5 runners must go to jail, he was drunk and a danger to society but he also enjoying the benefits of law abiding citizen. Something needs to be done and very fast. However; we always talk and no action, maybe we should take to the streets and this time will be different, it will not be for salary increase but to force the government to abide by the rules. Why must justice be for certain individuals the selected few?
Yes it is unfortunate that it became a race issue. In fact, it seems that nobody gets punished in a satisfactory manner these days. There is always someone on the victim's side who want harsher punishment, and the other camp on the perpetrator's side who want it to be more lenient. There is a fine line and the justice system should not destroy lives and futures where offenders truly show remorse.
Murder is the worst crime and should be punishable by long sentences! My preference is the gallows, BUT the fuss here is only because they are white! Also just my opinion!
This should be a lesson to parents if you bring up ur child as racist they will turn up worse than you, these boys dont deserve a day out of prison, where is Afriforum when u need them
What a disgrace to the justice system. This is a mockery of the guilty verdict. I can bet the selfsame people who are defending the decision to let them go are the very ones who demand the release of Derby Lewis. Can you imagine the gusts of outrage and fury when ET's killers get treated with equal leniency.
But very encouragingly it seems that most commentators except the loony "white is right" club are disgusted that this has come to pass.
These boys KILLED someone and ASSAULTED another person. Being young at the time is not an excuse for such evil behaviour.
What makes them different and more special from a house robber with a gun or a drunk behind a wheel? Sure, the family was wealthy and they probably had great lawyers but I am disgusted by the preferential treatment they are getting.
You did the crime now serve the time!
This is shocking! The way they killed that poor man in the park was unforgivable. His family can never see him again, but daddy was very quick to pick up his son which he still have. Where is justice? Maybe there is no justice in South Africa but i can assure you that each one of them will pay for what they did cause God does not sleep!
No matter how we feel about them and their release , there are two very important issues that I would like to highlight within this story!
1. Why do I get the feeling the whole outcry has a racial element to it just like allot of other criminal incidents involving WHITE Vs BLACK.
2. Who do DCS think they are to ignore a Supreme Court order.
If the ANC and their various arms of government think it is ok to ignore the LAW of the LAND then people we are in deep trouble. The SACP has said that "Whites" should stop trying to rule from the grave by means of a " Judicial Dictatorship" what the hell is he trying to say ?
The LAW OF THE LAND IS OK as long as it dose not benefit the White man and undermine the ANC!http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/Politics/Nzimande-slams-judicial-dictatorship-20111217-2
There four should have been executed along with every other murderer in this country, black and white. I don't see why you get a 2nd chance for killing someone, rediculous.
This is so wrong on so many levels it's just sick. They killed another man, and just because he was homeless and black, they should have been given life with no parole. Sick bastard!
It is now "Zonder Tiedt And Van Schalkwyk Prison".
Their release is going to be hotly debated for a long time to come. I do feel however that the role of a prison is to change/reform a prisoner to be released into society as "rehabilitated " person. These instances are few and far between where they actually do. If these young men can lead productive lives with no future crime then I say the prisons have succeeded. Bottom line if a guy spends 30 years in prison and is released full of hate and no attitude shift to when he went in then nothing was achieved. Sometimes its not the ammount of time but the progress that has been made in said time!
Had it been blacks we would have seen AfriForum in action blaming Malema for that as well
http://www.news24.com/SouthAfrica/Politics/Waterkloof-parole-unlawful-DA-20111216 I dont think race has anything to do with this. Everyone is angry.
Let them go on with their lives.
The authorities have made a decision based on their behavior.
What puzzles me they hardly spent half of their sentences, R they saying all "rehabilitated" murders in that prison that were arrested before 2008 are also out?? i doubt - probable the father was pushing from outside
Did they give the homeless man a second chance? It's too late now to give him a second chance, he's DEAD and their asses belong in jail for the full 12 years! What is "house arrest"? All the comforts of home - shame you just don't get a chance to go out and beat up another homeless man.
Well I guess that farm murderers who are first time offenders should be released as well if they have proven themselves to be model prisoners after a while.That goes for all murderers who are first time offenders.This stuff up is setting a dangerous precedent that has been initiated by the parole board and the judiciary has played a major role in screwing up future sentences.Who is this dickhead judge anyway? A friend of the families?
It is not a question of opinion of someone, or that of the department for that matter. It is a question of the legal ruling that a prisoner must have less than five years to be considered for release. Being happy or pleased is neither here nor there.
I am shocked that these young men got parole so quickly. What they have done is no different to farm murderers. Because of media reports it looks like they got out because they are white. Many people get parole regardless of race - we just don't read about it in the papers. Some of them go out and rape and kill again. Hopefully they won't do that again. It is just so sad that a life means nothing to such a big group in our society.
Give them a second chance ????? The homeless man never got his second chance !!!!!
Just see it for what it is a bunch of merciless middle class white boys with means and lawyers and 12 years in the first place was light for murdering a defenceless man in a park. Then there is a homeless black man whose family will never know what happened to him. Drawing in other cases is pointless and meaningless, we are looking at this case. Weigh it up and one remembers that we are still steeped in race and class priviledge. NO SYMPATHY FOR THE LITTLE FASCISTS THEY SHOULD HAVE SAT FOR LIFE!!!
I assume that most of the people on this page doesn`t believe in second chances in life! and that none of you have every done something you regret??
We are busy releasing more criminals into the streets and busy exporting more to the rest of the world while more are being initiated everyday so much that crime is crime only for the few seconds and the next you are released after faking your good behavior and probably paying somebody........WHAT IS WRONG?????
Can this only apply to black inmates or its only whites i am concern about this
Does this parole only apply to white people because I've never heard such happening to our black brothers

wow serious issues going on here !!
I have 27 different kinds of weapons in my home, do not attempt to trespass........!
You'll find it's nothing out of the ordinary here
Not saying I force it on them, because I don't. It really bugs me when stuff like this happens, people throw away the hobby for no reason.
ooooohhhh ok.
well i see both sides of this, so im not taking sides. I like the guy because he served in iraq, and from down hear, hearing abut the aussies over there, i assume the americans would be the same. He didn't take a diss-honorable discharge either, like some have when the main gun fights were happening.
As for you, your a true spudfiles member and a moderator, always contributing to the forums and what not.
Second, i've never known you (Mr.C) to be like this with another member, unless i just have not seen it.

We usually settle the cattle in the mountain in May, up until November. This year, with this situation we must take them down before that, so we are going to recover the cattle and bring them down. Then, if they (the government) provide a shed we can give the cows shelter, otherwise we have no solution for the winter.feedback

|18 Eighteen website
I really liked the way the site was presented and there was certainly enough here to help you to navigate it with no problems. For a start, you get a lot of information about the update schedule, scene / gallery content and the models themselves. They are particularly great when it comes to this latter point, often bringing you quite lengthy bios about the ladies here. There are simply no problems to report here when it comes to the navigation.
The video options and quality really depends on the age of the update you're looking at. If you go back further into this site's update history, a lot of videos are not available in the HD formats that all updates these days have. Even so, it seemed as though all the videos on this site could be streamed and downloaded. Additionally, all photo sets can be downloaded to a ZIP file and usually have a couple of photo size options with them.
18Eighteen.com is the official website of the magazine of the same name and it's probably fair to say that the website has become far more renowned and better known than the print original! Still featuring the same fantastic range of younger talent and also many of the photo shoots that have featured in the magazine, the site also adds a very strong selection of videos and other photo sets too.
It is certainly, at least, one of the longest running sites in this genre around. It is listed as having been around since the late 1990s, so they certainly have immense experience. But they also have the quality and have been producing high quality content for just as long and the collection here is a fabulous mix of hardcore, lesbian and girl-on-girl action.
$ 2.99 for 3 Days
$ 29.99 for 1 Month
$ 39.99 for 1 Month ( non-recurring )
$ 59.97 for 3 Months
$ 99.96 for 1 Year
Payment types:
Credit Card
Direct Debit
18 Eighteen.com is certainly one of the very best sites I've ever seen in its genre and niche. Not just because there is so much content and because they are so experienced but because the quality of the action here is so good. The selection of models means that you will be able to find a lot of new favourites as well, so the opportunities here are certainly numerous for fans of the type! Visit 18 Eighteen.

Hofstra to host 2012 presidential debate
Hofstra University was chosen Monday to hold a presidential debate next fall -- making it one of only two schools to host back-to-back debates since the modern debate system was created more than two decades ago.
Hofstra was home to the 2008 debate between Democratic Barack Obama and Republican John McCain, and its coup in snaring a repeat was matched only by Washington University in St. Louis, which held debates in 2000 and 2004.
Hofstra will hold a "town meeting" format debate on Oct. 16, the Commission on Presidential Debates announced. The first debate of the 2012 presidential season is set for Oct. 3 at the University of Denver, and Lynn University in Boca Raton, Fla., will host the final debate on Oct. 22. There will be a vice-presidential debate on Oct. 11 at Centre College in Danville, Ky.
"I am absolutely delighted that the commission has chosen to return to Hofstra University for one of America's most important political events," Hofstra president Stuart Rabinowitz said Monday.
"It was an extraordinary experience for our students and faculty in 2008 and allowed our community to witness, firsthand, the democratic process. I am so pleased that another generation of Hofstra students will be able to witness history and become involved in an active and meaningful way," Rabinowitz said.
Presidential debates are eagerly sought by schools and localities hoping to highlight their attributes. The Oct. 15, 2008, debate at Hofstra was watched by an estimated 56 million viewers, and some 3,000 journalists from around the globe descended on the Hempstead campus for the third and final debate of the election.
The school tapped alumni and other supporters to help raise the $3.5 million for preparations that included erecting platforms, laying cables and installing video monitors. Rabinowitz said David S. Mack -- a Hofstra graduate, real estate developer and civic activist -- will help cover the cost of the 2012 debate.
Nassau County Executive Edward Mangano, a Hofstra law graduate, called the commission's announcement "terrific news, as presidential debates help to stimulate the local economy, attract new business and promote the many attributes of Nassau County."
The debate announcement came just three months after Hofstra welcomed the first class of its new medical school. Hofstra is making a concerted effort to make itself a premier educational institution and to raise its national profile.
The universityalso hosted a raucous 2010 debate, sponsored with Newsday and News 12 Long Island, in the race for New York governor. Democrat Andrew M. Cuomo won the election, but the debate made an instant celebrity of Jimmy McMillan -- the elaborately whiskered, black-gloved candidate of the Rent Is 2 Damn High Party.
Rabinowitz said he was not daunted by the task of winning a debate again this year. "I don't want to sound like I'm bragging . . . but as soon as it was over, I knew we wanted to do it again. We went over what we did right and what we did wrong and there weren't too many wrongs."
Hofstra said ticket availability will be "extremely limited," and that all the tickets the commission allocates to Hofstra will go to students in the days before the debate. In 2008, some 250 to 300 tickets were distributed.
The commission is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that has organized every presidential and vice-presidential debate since 1988.

Star Trek
I recently finished the first season of the original Star Trek and I found that I quite enjoyed myself. There were certainly episodes that are the very definition of campy, but there were also episodes that explored some interesting ideas … Continue reading
Doctor Who

Read the Book or Watch the Series?

The Librarians
I recently finished watching The Librarians as my show-with-evening-meal show. It was enjoyable and lighthearted, and managed to capture the bombasticness of The Librarian (who did happen to show up on occasion) into a cast of many, which I wasn't … Continue reading

What hunting was like after Supernatural

The Stars, Aligned
Friday, July 25, 2008
LAS VEGAS, July 24 -- The U.S. Olympic men's basketball team convened for a meeting here earlier this week that concluded with Managing Director Jerry Colangelo, Coach Mike Krzyzewski, Kobe Bryant and a handful of players all speaking about what it meant to represent their country and the chance to win a gold medal in Beijing. Then LeBron James stood up, scanned the room of multimillionaire, superstar athletes, and made an impassioned plea for teammates not to take this opportunity for granted.
"When we're with our teams, we complain, 'I wish I had Chris Paul in the back court.' Or: 'I wish I had Dwight Howard. I want this guy, I want that guy' -- because we all want to win," James told them. "Well, everyone is in the room. Everyone is here. There's no excuses. Now we have to get the job done."
As James sat down to a stunned but approving audience, Krzyzewski interrupted the temporary silence and dismissed the players with one word. "Amen," he said.
Colangelo, the man responsible for getting everyone in the room, held back tears as he retold the story this week, knowing how complicated and exhausting it was to collect the 12 players who comprise the squad known as the "Redeem Team," which will make its long-awaited debut Friday night in an exhibition against Canada.
James is unlikely to play against Canada after suffering a mild right ankle sprain in practice this week, but he is one of three players -- Howard and Carmelo Anthony are the others -- who have spent the last three summers playing for Team USA as it attempts to end the Americans' eight-year gold medal drought in major international basketball competitions. And, with the exception of Carlos Boozer, the rest of the team participated in either the 2006 world championships or last summer's FIBA Americas tournament. Team USA will head to China on Saturday for a round of exhibitions in Macao and Shanghai, then opens Olympic competition on Aug. 10 against host China. "We are in the homestretch," Colangelo said.
For Colangelo to assemble a dozen players willing to buy into his concept of a national program, it required confidence, organization and what Colangelo considers one of his greatest strengths -- salesmanship. Two months after taking on the responsibility of restoring the United States' reputation as the best in the world in April 2005, Colangelo sought out the advice of 20 former Olympic players and coaches at a gathering in Chicago.
He began his recruitment efforts in the fall, offering the same sales pitch to almost all of the 33 the players who chose to participate, including Washington Wizards Antawn Jamison and Gilbert Arenas. He mentioned his life story and how basketball helped him rise from nothing to eventually owning the Phoenix Suns and Arizona Diamondbacks; he spoke of his love for his country and his personal embarrassment with how American basketball is viewed around the world. "I wanted them to know who I was," said Colangelo, 68, who still serves as chairman and chief executive of the Suns. "No one has really done it the way I did it. But after all these years, I have a passion for this game. I love this game."
His first meeting with a prospective player was held in late November at a hotel in Washington, where he had breakfast with Anthony, whose Denver Nuggets were in town to play the Wizards. Colangelo initially didn't offer Anthony a spot, but sought an explanation for the 2004 Olympic debacle in Athens -- then-coach Larry Brown made Anthony a scapegoat for some of the shortcomings of the team -- and informed him that he was a player he wanted. After watching Anthony throughout the season, Colangelo later extended an invitation. "He gave me that clean plate," Anthony said. "He said this was a new start, not just for me, but for everybody."
Colangelo scheduled meetings around his busy travel schedule and the schedules of the players he pursued. He placed calls and met with them at hotels in Chicago (James and Michael Redd), at his office in Phoenix (Dwyane Wade and Kobe Bryant), when he visited his son in Toronto (Chris Bosh), on business in Oklahoma City (Paul and Tayshaun Prince) and at the NBA All-Star Game in Houston (Howard).
Jason Kidd, a 2000 gold medalist in Sydney, initially rejected Colangelo's overtures. But after watching the team finish with a disappointing bronze medal at the 2006 world championships in Japan, Kidd called to offer his experience and playmaking. Colangelo later added Utah Jazz teammates Boozer and Deron Williams (who, like Colangelo, attended the University of Illinois) after talking with them on the telephone.
Redd drove two hours after practice with the Milwaukee Bucks to meet with Colangelo at a Chicago hotel. Redd arrived in sweats, with a garment bag hanging over his shoulder. He asked to be excused and emerged from the bathroom in Colangelo's hotel room in a suit. "I wanted to treat it with a lot of respect," Redd said. "I respect him, I respect USA Basketball. At any other job in the world, you have to dress up in an interview. I wanted to do the same."
Most of his meetings, Colangelo stressed, were rather informal. Bosh said Colangelo's presence was persuasive enough. "I think it was, he was just in a position of power," Bosh said.
James, still smarting from his experience of playing sparingly in Athens, said he initially was apprehensive about meeting with Colangelo -- especially with the demand that players had to sacrifice three summers. But halfway through Colangelo's presentation, which included a promise that James would have a more prominent role, James lifted his hand to stop him and said, "I'm in."
Colangelo found that most players were open and enthusiastic about participating, but was unable to persuade every player he wanted. Kevin Garnett declined countless offers, but Colangelo was able to find mini-successes even in some of his failures. Shaquille O'Neal joined Wade for a meeting with Colangelo in Phoenix out of courtesy and nearly caved.
"Shaq said, 'I came in, I had no intention, but after hearing you, it's 50-50,' " Colangelo said, proudly. "So I had accomplished a lot."
O'Neal, of course, declined. But you won't hear the members of this team complain.

This was an amazing avalanche course. The knowledge of the instructors was truly exceptional. I feel once again empowered to enjoy traveling in the winter backcountry terrain. They are "bad-ass". Thanks!
The all women's environment was amazing! The simple fact that I never felt embarrassed to ask a question made me learn so much more.
What a great weekend! Can't wait to practice all my new skills. Thanks Jenna, Sarah, Nancy, and Leighan for all the knowledge you shared!

A former Pinellas Park firefighter and paramedic pleaded guilty Thursday to multiple drug offenses and was sentenced to six months in jail and 18 months of drug offender probation.
James A. Comer originally was charged with 17 felonies, including trafficking in hydrocodone.
In his plea agreement, the trafficking charge was reduced to possession of hydrocodone, and he pleaded guilty to nine felony counts on various drug charges involving prescription medications. Comer also surrendered his paramedic license and must complete a drug treatment program, under the agreement.
Defense attorney Roger Futerman said Comer suffered from a drug problem which "spiraled out of control."

A loyal Krustacean (that's a fan of this blog by the way) sent me an email saying that he/she saw a Des Moines Register reporter Jason Clayworth near a gay bar yesterday. I've written about Clayworth sexual preference before and his affinity of ugly ass used sweaters. Clayworth seems to be the Register's lead reporter on everything gay.
Jason was just dropping off his entry form for the Iowa Leather Man Competition that's coming up.
UPDATE: Oh, wait. The person spotted near the gay bar just looked like Jason Clayworth, it wasn't actually him. My bad.
Pretty outrageous isn't it?
I'm sure some of you think I should be punished for writing such a thing.
Well, I'm not the one you should be upset with. This is basically what Des Moines Register reporter Jason Clayworth did yesterday. Clayworth posted a blog entry that was called "Iowa gay marriage opponents advertise under "booty shots." In his article he refers to the Iowa Family Policy Center. There is just one problem. IFPC wasn't advertising on the site. He was referring to an ad that looked similar to the ad that IFPC had run.
Earlier this week, Clayworth insinuated that Branstad supported civil unions and gay adoptions, but when you look at Branstad's answers he never said those things. While Branstad did a terrible interview with Todd Dorman of the Cedar Rapids Gazette, he basically said that gay couples should be able to visit their partners in the hospital.
In all seriousness, the Register needs to do something about their gay activist reporter. Either he needs to cover non-political news or everything he writes needs to be run by an editor. What Clayworth did yesterday was simply uncalled for. Heck, liberal and conservative bloggers wouldn't even stoop that low.
