More on the Minnesota homosexual pedophile

KSTP Channel 5 in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area follows up here on Joseph Edward Duncan III, convicted homosexual pedophile and (alleged) abductor of Shasta and Dylan Groene. See Rambix' previous post here. Bigger questions loom:

"The arrest of Duncan, a 42-year-old from Fargo, N.D., who had spent more a decade in prison for sexually assaulting a 14-year-old boy at gunpoint, has raised many questions and provided few answers. "Where have Duncan and Shasta and Dylan been the last six weeks? Was Duncan involved in the triple homicide? Were other people involved? Is so, who and where are they?" Wolfinger said."

Duncan is a one man crime wave, and obviously thinks nothing of wrecking people's lives. In fact, he wants to wreck a lot of people's lives:

"I am scared, alone and confused, and my reaction is to strike out toward the perceived source of my misery, society," the May 11 entry said. "My intent is to harm society as much as I can, then die."

Is there any doubt that Mr. Duncan should not have been on the streets? Rambix typically prefers a theory of life imprisonment at hard labor to the death penalty, but it's really, really hard to hold that view when criminals like Mr. Duncan surface. Here's the judge who let him go:

"Becker County, Minn., District Judge Thomas Schroeder, who had set bail at $15,000 despite prosecutors' request that it be $25,000, said Sunday that he barely remembers the case and isn't sure if he knew then that the man was a registered Level 3 sex offender.

"Usually on a bail hearing you have limited information, and so you set it in an amount that you think is appropriate," the judge said. He said if he had known Duncan's record, he would have set it high enough that Duncan would not have gone free."

Why isn't the judge getting the full history of this monster? Isn't a large part of a bail hearing to determine a criminal's potential danger to society?

This is not a good sign:

"Authorities said Monday they found human remains during their search for a missing 9-year-old boy whose sister was found days earlier at a Denny's restaurant with a registered sex offender."

Nothing but bad news. Let's pray hard for the young lady, and pray for commensurate justice for the criminal.
